The cutting edge

USB Massager
$17

Let’s face it, sitting at a PC for hours can be stressful. Even those of us with a perfect seating position get muscle twinges and aches. Stress is a big cause of course, having to get documents out on time, the boss nagging you, noise, money, telephone calls... argh! In an ideal world we would all have out own masseur. The Gadgets.co.uk boffins are working on that, but in the mean time, there is this fantastic device.
Whoever invented it really does deserve a Nobel Prize for Making Life A Bit More Bearable.
It is so simple, and so effective. Plug the motorised massager into your PC’s USB port, switch on, and massage your neck, back, shoulders, feet, hands or wherever (we’ll leave you to work out where is best for you). Total bliss!
The USB Massager comes in a rather classy silver casing with a tasteful black massage pad, and a very handy 6ft of cable.

Marshmallow Shooter
$28

If you thought marshmallows were just for hot cocoa and roasting over a fire, think again.
The inventors of the Marshmallow Shooter came up with the idea to take a fun food, marshmallows, and combine them with a fun concept — kids shooting soft and safe ammo at targets and each other.
With a few bags of mini marshmallows, kids (and kids at heart) can have hours of fun, running around chasing each — the Marshmallow shooter keeps them from being couch potatoes. It’s safe, old-fashioned play and it’s yummy for kids of all ages.
The Marshmallow Shooter doesn’t require batteries — The high-tech, sleek design and unique operating principles based on vacuum and pressure, providing a real-world lesson in physics, as well as entertainment.
With pump-action, the Marshmallow Shooter casts mini marshmallows or special soft-foam pellets more than 30 feet. The easy-to-fill magazine holds 25 mini marshmallows for non-stop action.

Bedlam Cube Puzzle
$37

Usually, when you mention cube puzzles, everyone thinks of The Rubik Cube. You can tell at a glance which men had them when they were younger, because they are the ones with no hair left. Well, there is even better news for toupee and wig makers, because there is now a puzzle which makes Mr Rubik’s infuriating invention feel like a pleasant spring day in the park with the fluffy bunny rabbits.
Like all great puzzles, the concept is simple. Take a cube and, with the use of a high tech saw, slice it into 13 cunning three-dimensional geometric shapes. Take it apart, and then put it back together — easypeasy lemonsqueezy!. Ahahahaha! Well yes, it would be except there are 19,186 different ways of putting the bits back. The Bedlam Cube is so easy to start, but so, so difficult to master.

Finger Flick Punchbag
$28

Laaaydees and gentlemen! Roll up, Roll up! Test your strength! eight hours a day, five days a week you have been training that mouse clicking finger, now is a chance to show off those muscles! Okay, well maybe it’s not exactly Mr Universe, but it is a lot of fun and really satisfying to batter this miniature punchbag into submission, and totally legal (unlike hitting your boss!).
Great for lunchtime tournaments in the office or down the pub or simply for taking out your frustration!
