Add light and some outer space to your room with this light fixture

NEWS – This semi-flush mount light fixture is perfect for the ceiling of any aficionado of astronomy or sci-fi. The ceiling canopy of the ELK Astronaut light fixture is black with star and planet designs. The light fixture itself has three bulbs: one 60W standard bulb behind the glass bottom of the “space ship” to provide downlighting, and two candelabra bulbs for the engine flames.

The two astronauts out for a little space walk are purely decorative. The ship has a satin nickel finish. It measures 16″ wide and hangs 10″ from the ceiling. The ELK Astronaut light fixture is $190.00 at Amazon.

Become Gandalf or Morgan from The Walking Dead with the PocketStaff

NEWS – This collapsible pocket staff/cane looks a whole cooler than it really is, but for less than $25 bucks (a whole lot less depending on where you buy one), this “magic” item might earn you some extra geek points. What is it? It’s a thin metal telescoping tube that extends into a 43-inch long staff and then shrinks back down into a fist-sized form factor that makes it perfect for close up magic tricks.

Made of thin stainless steel, the PocketStaff pops out with the press of a button. Just be careful where you’re pointing it and then also be careful when you collapse it back down because the comments on Amazon mention that the edges are really sharp.

Is the PocketStaff an effective weapon against zombies or hoards of orcs? Doubtful. If you check out the video below, you can see that it looks pretty flimsy. But it’s that pop out effect that you’re looking for right?

You can find the PocketStaff at outdoorlancastor.com for $24.95 and on Amazon for about $11. And just remember that it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

The GrabTab adds grip to your phone without adding bulk

NEWS – The GrabTab from Speck works with any phone to improve your grip, but it doesn’t add bulk that makes it difficult to store your phone in a pocket or bag. GrabTab is about the size of a credit card and, at 3mm, is about as thick as three credit cards. It adheres to the back of the phone or phone case. Because it’s so thin, GrabTab doesn’t interfere with wireless charging, unlike many other grip-assist accessories.

When you want to use it, the center strip slides up and locks into place to form a loop for your finger to slide through.

The loop can also be used as a stand for the phone.

GrabTab works with any phone. It comes in a variety of colors or patterns. The GrabTab is available for $9.95 at Speck.

The PyroPet animal shaped candles contain a wicked little surprise

NEWS – Candles come in many shapes, sizes, and scents these days. The PyroPet is just a little different. It’s a candle that starts out as one thing and becomes something completely different and a little bit unexpected.

These paraffin wax candles come in the shape of different animals like a cat, owl, or unicorn. On the outside, they look like a modern piece of decor but, inside they hold a wicked little secret. Inside each creature hides a metal skeleton. As the wax melts, it reveals the animals aluminum skeleton little by little.

Each candle is slightly different so no two will ever burn the same. And each candle will burn for approximately 20 hours.

The complete PyroPet menagerie includes five different charming creatures, an owl, cat, dragon, reindeer, and unicorn.

Each PyroPet includes one animal candle with an aluminum skeleton. The candles range in price from $28 – $35 and they can be purchased from The Grommet.

Brew delicious concentrate for cold or hot coffee (or tea) with OXO

NEWS – Cold-brewed coffee concentrate isn’t just for making iced coffee. You can also dilute it with heated water for hot coffee without having to brew a pot. Using the OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker, you can easily prepare 40 ounces of delicious, low-acid coffee concentrate while you sleep so you can enjoy beverages for days.

The cold brewer has an ultra-fine, reusable stainless steel mesh filter, silicone gasket, and a borosilicate glass carafe. To brew, put ground coffee in the brewing container, then add water through the Rainmaker to ensure that the water is evenly distributed over the coffee. Let the mixture steep for 12-24 hours, then drain the concentrate into the coffee carafe.

Store the concentrate in the fridge for freshness. The stopper for the carafe also functions as a measuring cup for portioning out the concentrate. Each brewing makes enough concentrate for about 12-14 beverages. You can make hot or cold coffees by diluting the concentrate with water or milk.

If you prefer tea, the OXO Cold Brewer can also be used to cold-brew a concentrate using loose leaves or tea bags.

The glass carafe is machine washable, but you’ll need to hand wash all other parts. The pieces stack together for compact storage. The OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker is $49.99 at OXO.
