These fidget toys have super powers!

Fidget spinners are the latest toy craze that doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Instead, other fidget toys are appearing like these fidget cubes that feature your favorite Marvel superheroes.

These fidget toys don’t spin, but they do feature a variety of fidget “tools” in a small plastic cube that you can carry in your pocket.

There’s a toggle switch, gears with a rolling ball, a spring-loaded joystick, 5 buttons (some click), a spinning disc and a worry stone divot that you can rub across with your thumb.

The Marvel Fidget Cube is available in Spiderman, Captain America, Hulk, and Ironman. Each one is $12.99 and you can find them on Amazon.

This is the Bob Ross desk ornament that has been missing from your life.

Yeah, I know… we’re a gadget site. But this is just too good not to share. And you need a new decoration for your office, right?

A lot of us grew up watching the soft-spoken Bob Ross on “The Joy of Painting,” where he taught us how to achieve happiness and inner peace by painting landscapes (and especially “happy little trees”). It was mesmerizing. While Bob passed in 1995, he’s seen a pop culture resurgence over the past few years as people rediscover his videos on YouTube. And now Funko, who is always in tune with the latest trends, bring us this cute little guy to brighten up our lives. 

Just look at him. The outfit, the hair, the facial expression… Funko nailed this one. He’s perfect.

The Funko Pop Television Bob Ross Collectible Figure is scheduled for release this month, and it looks like it has just become available on Amazon. I’m sure you’ll be able to find it at most retailers of Funko Pop collectibles in the coming days/weeks. Go grab one if you need to add a little creative zen to your work or personal space!

Always be prepared with the Adventure Mate 5-in-1 outdoor multi-tool

I’ve never been camping, but when I daydream about being more outdoorsy, I can picture myself with all sorts of gear for both utility and protection. The problem is that too much gear weighs you down. Conrad Sayer of Australia has designed a modular 5-in-1 multi-tool that eases the burden of carrying too much gear but provides the essential tools you’ll want and need.

The Adventure Mate is a multi-tool constructed of rust-resistant carbon rolled steel that will stand up to chopping, sawing, hammering and digging activities.

The 5-in-1 provides a hatchet, saw, shovel, hammer, and a hook.

The design looks pretty well thought out. The knurled handle can be used with the hatchet head, the shovel, or the saw blade.

There’s a hammer built into the back of the hatchet head for any smashing activities, and the hook can be used for lifting pots off the fire, opening beers, and more.

When you get tired of the bugs and the dirt, the Adventure Mate tool packs into the included canvas pouch for easy transport to your next Adventure.

You can read more about the Adventure Mate at www.adventuremate.com and you can buy one for $149 – $169 from The Grommet or Amazon.
