Have the most gangsta drinks at your next party, with these ice cubes shaped like AK-47 bullets. Each AK Ice Tray ($13) magazine produces 12 bullet shaped pieces. There's really no way that absolutely everyone present won't find this amazingly awesome. Seriously, no chance whatsoever. [Thanks, Doug]

Screw putting up a dry erase board in your home office — turn a whole wall into one with IdeaPaint ($30-$175). This ingenious paint turns anything you can paint into a reusable dry-erase surface, making it great for the office, kitchen, kid's room, or garage, the latter so you can keep track of how many beers you've had while attempting to "fix" that old junker you've been tinkering with.

One of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.

There's never been a bracelet this hardcore. Made from military-issue 550 paracord, Survival Straps ($18-$25) are bracelets designed to help you in an emergency. With 15 to 20' of cord used in each bracelet, you simply unravel it to instantly have a section of strong rope for any number of uses. (Just ask Bear how handy one of these things would be.) The Survival Straps come with a marine-grade stainless steel shackle (or an optional side-release plastic buckle) and are available in 30 different colors. Also available are lanyards, key fobs, watch straps, dog collars, and rifle slings. If you're unlucky enough to have to use your Survival Strap, just send it back to the company, along with your disaster story, and they'll braid it back to new for you, free of charge.

We've written about keychain-sized multitools before, but never one that masquerades as an actual key. The KeyTool ($10) is so small is fits over a standard key, offering three sizes of screwdriver, a bottle opener, wire cutter, tweezers, finger nail cleaner, and nail file, all contained within a strong stainless steel sheath. Great for impromptu handyman work, or for carrying a host of tools onto a flight without getting harassed by the TSA.

We've been preaching the gospel of front-pocket wallets for a while now, but the recent interest in the topic allowed us to stumble upon a new collection of ultra-slim wallets that have now become our top choice. Koyono's Slimmy wallets are among the absolute thinnest on the planet, and come in three great versions — the Slimmy, the ViewSlimmy, and the SlimSlimmy. They feature an open, three-pocket design that holds the essentials — cash, credit cards, driver's license, and receipts. Our favorite of the bunch is the Slimmy ($22; black, brown or tan). It's simply the perfect front-pocket wallet we've tested. The ViewSlimmy ($26; black or tan) is identical to the original, but adds a window for displaying an ID. And for you ultra-minimalists who feel the need to go even slimmer, Koyono offers the SlimSlimmy ($33; black or brown). Barely larger than a credit card, the SlimSlimmy does away with every last bit of excess bulk that a traditional wallet has. Take your pick — you can't go wrong with any of these.

These are too great. Keep a couple Douche Cards ($5/package of 25 cards) in your wallet, and the next time that dude cuts in front of you at Chipolte, hand him one and head for Burger King. [via]

We hate having water on our bathroom floor, but hate having a towel or not-so-sweet rug on the floor even worse. We were delighted then when we saw the Teak Bath Mat ($70). It's made of reclaimed teak so it helps protect what we have left of this endangered wood, and it features a maze-design slat on the top to drain away water. Plus, it actually looks good and will for a long time, which is more than we can say for our last bath mat.

You guys sure know what we like. We've gotten approximately 1,256 emails telling us about this awesome Lego Ice Cube Tray ($8). And every fun-loving man should definitely have a couple. But while at Lego's online store, we also spotted the Lego Corkscrew & Bottle Opener Set ($15), the Lego Coaster Set ($13), and the Lego Salt & Pepper Set ($5).

Want to carry a knife but don't feel like adding any extra bulk to your already crowded pockets? Check out the CardSharp (£15; roughly $23). Thanks to its ingenious folding design, the CardSharp is the same size as a credit card, yet offers a 65mm stainless steel blade, and folds up securely for travel. A bit of advice: make sure it's not in your wallet the next time you're heading into the TSA line.

Originally designed to handle detonation and trip wires, and straight out of any Batman-wannabe's dream, this Pocket Grappling Hook ($27) is perfect for any mission. The 1"x5.5" water resistant shell holds the hook's spikes when you're on the move, and can be filled with water or sand to add weight for more accurate throws. Forget all that "not certified for life support" stuff — they've been tested at more than 350 lbs., which should be enough to hold all but the biggest of crime-fighters. [Thanks, Paul]

It's not fun carrying around a full keychain — not only does it make for a massive bulge in your jeans, it can also damage your car ignition if your chain is too weighed down. The Keyport Slide ($TBA) promises to alleviate this situation by offering you a simplified housing that holds all your keys. The universal key fob keeps your keys secure in a small, car remote-sized package. Just don't lose it. [Thanks, Evan]

Originally created to be the ultimate bag for the the LAPD and the U.S. military, the 5th generation Tactical Bail Out Gear Bag ($20) is a do-it-all bag that's both rugged and attractive (and cheap). At home on the battlefield and in the office, the Bail Out has YKK brand zippers, Velcro closures, a removable padded shoulder strap, and polyester lining to protect items from harm. Great for use as a gadget pack or a diaper bag, the large main pocket has a removable stiffener, and the zippered side pocket is designed for secure storage of your wallet, passport, keys, radio, and other valuable items. Staying true to its tactical roots, the bag comes in black, desert tan, and our recommendation: olive drab.

Who said bulbs had to be boring? Inspired by a bird's decorative feather, or plume, Plumen Light Bulbs (£20; roughly $31) turn convention on its head by making the bulb something you'll actually want to look at, instead of something to hide behind a shade. The bulbs work like any other low-energy bulb, saving up to 80% on your energy bill while lasting eight times longer than a butt-ugly incandescent. Brilliant.

It's no coincidence that Gerber's Kick Axe ($90) sounds a little like kick ass. Because that's exactly what it'll do on your next camping trip. This lightweight, folding axe features a Metal Bodied frame with hardcore Black Oxide coating, and folds up like a knife for easy and safe carrying and storage.

Need something to digitally record your hand-drawn notes but have no use — or no money — for the iPad's do-everything awesomeness? Meet the NoteSlate ($100). This simple device sports a one-color eInk display in either white, black, green, blue, or red, a smooth, simple design, a battery good for 180 hours of work, and a simple list of inputs including a special pen with eraser, a mini-USB port, an SD card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for listening to MP3s — okay, so they snuck that last unnecessary feature in, but what doesn't play MP3s these days?

Although we're mostly made of water, humans are meant for living on dry land — hence our lack of webbed feet or hands. DarkFin Gloves ($25) fix half of this equation with a rear-webbed design that increases surface area by 70%, helps you tread water using less energy, and builds upper body strength. They're made from durable, flexible latex rubber, and are perfect for scuba diving, swimming, sky divers, or just freaking out your kids at bath time.

The "man-sized" Ace Fingernail Clippers ($12) and Ace Toenail Clippers ($12) are made from 420 stainless steel, offer 30º or 55º Power Cut levers with ultra-sharp blades, and sport built-in clippings catchers. Finish filling up your cart with the rubberized Ace Nail Brush ($8) and the do-it-all Ace Nail File Pick ($12).

There's nothing more satisfying than decorating your abode with artwork or photos of your own creation, and CanvasPop ($49 and up) makes it easier than ever to do so. As the world's only large format printing company to work with images of any resolution, CanvasPop allows you to make gorgeous canvas prints of pretty much any image, even if they're taken with your iPhone or nabbed from Facebook, Photobucket, or Flickr. Once you've picked your image, you can choose from a number of cool filters to enhance the look, or leave it as-is; a team of designers is also available should you need assistance.

A lot of guys don't like the idea of wearing rings for fashion — they think that it might somehow make them "girly." Well, there's nothing "girly" about this ring. The Stainless Steel and Concrete Ring ($170) keeps it real manly with a wide, thick stainless band that has a core inlay of concrete. Wear this, and display your man ring with pride.
