Is $8 too much to ask for these Ninjabread Men Cookie Cutters? That depends. Do you like awesomeness? Do you like cookies? If you answered yes to both—and who wouldn’t?—then a portion of your paycheck should go towards this lifelong investment in both the martial and the culinary arts.

Fun fact: that’s actually a photo of me doing what I do between blog posts all day. Thanks to the $80 SpringFlex UB that attaches to any standard desk and "lets you do over 120 exercises" along with the fact that I type all day long, my forearms look like giant, manly, delicious hams. Yours could too!

During a long day of riding in a motorized cart with brief periods of medium-intensity arm swinging, the last thing you want to have to deal with is looking at your golf bag from any angle other than straight on.

Note: If you buy this, you’re a Lazy Susan.

Fashion forward. That’s you. But you’ve got a retro side and money to burn, so why not drop $435 on one of these hand-knitted wool sweaters adorned with Mario and Luigi. You’ll have to order them from Japan, but that just means you’ll be the only person you know who has one. Bonus.

This full-scale pixelated ExciteBike-style motorcycle is one of a kind and totally impractical for actual use, which makes it perfect for you! Plenty of pictures of the build process are available, so you’ll need to commission someone to make one for you and then commission someone else to install a bunch of triangle-shaped jumps all around your neighborhood.
