Flight 704 T-Shirt

Gaze at the beautiful horribleness that is the Flight 704 T-Shirt ($13). Printed on an asphalt American Apparel shirt, this all-over tee evokes just enough tragedy and just enough J.J. Abrams to make it worth ordering. [Thanks, Chris]

Tesla Model S

Maybe we're just getting old, but we much prefer the new Tesla Model S ($60,000 est; 2010) to the much-too-Lotus-y Tesla Roadster. This brand new 4-door, 5-passenger electric sedan, like the first zero-emission Tesla, is powered by a powerful lithium-ion battery pack. The company says the car will have exceptional performance, going 0–60 in less than 6 seconds while getting about 240 miles per charge. [via]

MINI E

It's not like MINI's automobiles were gas guzzlers to begin with, but if you're looking for the greenest MINI you can get, check out the new MINI E ($TBA). Limited to just 500 vehicles to be leased in SoCal, New York, and New Jersey early next year, the E employ a single-speed, 204hp electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery, offering a 0-62mph time of 8.5 seconds and a driving range of 150 miles. Think of it as a civilized electric go-cart.

The Mock Tudor by Crumpler

Long a favorite by those in the know, Crumpler has carved out a cultish niche among bag aficionados looking for the perfect combination of durability, function and style. After years of specializing primarily in messenger bags and camera packs, the company is taking the leap into luggage with its first wheely bag, The Mock Tudor ($450). This midsize carry-on weighs in at 10.1-pounds and has enough internal real estate to be well-packed for a week trip. Meanwhile, its 900D polyester outer shell is water resistance and, by all practical standards, rip proof.

HTC S740

The simplicity of a normal candybar phone meets the versatility of a full QWERTY keyboard in the HTC S740 ($TBA; September 2008). With Quad-band GSM and 900/2100 MHz HSDPA, the S740 will keep you connected no matter where you are, offering a 3.2 megapixel camera for photos and a front-mounted VGA camera for video calls, POP3, IMAP and Exchange push email, instant messaging and SMS, Windows Mobile 6.1, a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, GPS, Wi-Fi, a microSD slot for storage, and more.

Made of sustainable plantation-grown shesham wood, this refashioned steamer trunk has three hinged lids that reveal tons of room for stuff like games, CDs and DVDs, books, and wine, spirits and barware. A small drawer in the front is perfect for remotes and other small junk. And last but not least, there's also a secret compartment in the center for other types of stash.

Canon EOS 50D

Canon takes another leap forward in the dSLR arms race with the Canon EOS 50D ($1,400; October 2008). The 15-megapixel prosumer model is the company's first to sport the new DIGIC 4 processor, promising features like peripheral illumination correction, ISO sensitivity of up to 12,800, a 3-inch, 920,000 dot LCD, Live View, a self-cleaning system, and more. Pair it with Canon's new 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens ($700) and get shooting. [via]

Lightweight and durable, it's ready to take on any trail you choose to ride. [Thanks, Andrew]

Perfect for those with sensitive skin.

Belkin FlyWire

Cables are your enemy. Your secret weapon is the Belkin FlyWire ($1,000). Operating in the open 5GHz band, this system wirelessly transmits high-definition 1080p video and audio around your house. This means that you can hang your HDTV on a wall and store your components (Blu-ray player, Wii, DirecTV receiver, etc.) out of sight in a closet or cabinet. The FlyWire offers 3 HDMI inputs, 2 Component inputs and 1 Composite input.

Mayan Hammock

Slow down this summer and kick back in a Mayan Hammock ($85). More comfortable and easier to control than regular rope hammocks, the massive 10 ft. by 7 ft. hammock accommodates at least two people and can hold up to 800 pounds, meaning it can deal with the extra pressure should your lounging lead to more strenuous activity. On the other hand, it could also hold a full keg right next to you, making you the envy of your not-as-lazy-as-you-are neighbors.

Windex with Vinegar

If you've been down the cleaning aisle lately, you might recall feeling a bit overwhelmed. There are cleaners for all purposes (and all-purpose cleaners), situations, lifestyles, age, smells, you name it. It seems companies just can't stop producing crap to clean with. If you're fed up with all the pressure from picking the right cleaning product, then Windex has produced one that is slightly redeeming of its multiple perpetrations against cabinet clutter (and the environment). Windex with Vinegar ($5) uses a special solution blended with vinegar that cuts through virtually any piece of scum you can throw at it. Safe for kitchens, bathrooms, tables and whatever, it's the ultimate cleaning product for the guy who can't be troubled with cleaning products. You're welcome.

American Nerd

Explore and study the origin of the geek in American Nerd: The Story of My People by Benjamin Nugent ($14). This unique tome takes a look at the history of the nerd throughout society and pop culture, examining their tastes (like online gaming and sci-fi clubs), unfortunate stereotypes, and everything in between, up to and including their social isolation and the possible causes for it. Uncrate favorite Chuck Klosterman calls Nugent "just weird enough to be absolutely right," and what could be nerdier than that? [via]

The KOR ONE features a pretty stunning industrial design, topped off with a just-right spout and a hinged cap (screw you, screw-on caps) for quick one-hand opening and closing.

Bed Stu Shoes

We're strangely drawn to these chunky-casual Bed Stu shoes. Shown above are the leather and canvas Bobber Oxford ($75) and Trout Slip-On ($75). Both are a little rough around the edges, but could turn out to be great summer shoes.

Voodoo Envy 133

Skinnier than a MacBook Air, the new Voodoo Envy 133 ($2,100) is one sexy laptop. This ultra-portable measures .70 inches when closed and weighs less than 3.4 pounds. The Envy wears a carbon fiber casing with custom microweave design, and features a 13.3-inch backlit LED display, integrated 802.11 ABGN Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, USB and HDMI ports, a built-in webcam, and a multiple gesture touchpad. Available in black or white, the Envy can also be customized with Voodoo Allure paint finishes, Voodoo Ink designs and Voodoo Iconograph patterns. [via]

Ronn Scorpion

It appears independent car makers are stepping up amid crazy gas prices to bring some stylish green into our lives. The just-announced Scorpion ($TBA) from Ronn Motor Company is a sexy speedster that will run on a 30-40 ratio blend of gas and hydrogen, promising around 40 mpg efficiency while still being able to hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The fuel for the hydrogen-on-demand system is "derived from fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank, and will not require a high pressure, on board hydrogen storage tank or hydrogen fueling station," according to the company. The carbon fiber beauty is now in pre-production, with availability scheduled for this fall.

Marmot Aura Tent

This lightweight backpacking tent is the perfect two-person shelter for the trail. Weighing in at under 5 pounds, the Marmot Aura Tent ($300) features DAC Featherlite NSL poles, near-vertical walls, and two doors for quick bear escapes. A big vestibule (man, that sounds dirty) keeps your boots and gear out of the weather.

HTC Touch Pro

If your thumbs just aren't made for the iPhone's virtual keyboard, you'll like the new HTC Touch Pro ($TBA). The HSDPA phone sports a slide-out, five-row QWERTY keyboard, along with a 2.8-inch touch screen (with "four times the resolution of most phones") and a pretty classy Windows Mobile-based TouchFLOTM 3D user interface. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera with flash, Wi-Fi, GPS, and video calling. [via]

Dualist Cook System

When you're backpacking, a little weight can make a big difference. That's why the GSI Outdoor Dualist Cook System ($50) is so great. Picked as an Editor's Choice by Backpacker Magazine, the six-piece set includes nesting bowls and mugs, a crushproof Lexan pot lid that features a folding, locking handle and an integrated strainer, a self-standing sack that doubles as a sink or wash basin, and more.

Organic Grooming Dusk Deodorant

It's vegan and contains no aluminum, alcohol or artificial colors, and is even packaged in recycled plastic.

The Amp

If you've been lusting after an all-electric convertible and have tired of waiting on the Tesla Roadster to arrive, your ride is now here. The Amp ($25,000 plus the cost of the Sky) is an all-electric conversion of the Saturn Sky, the funky-logo'd cousin to the Pontiac Solstice. Featuring a zero-to-60 time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 90 mph, the Amp is no slouch, and it can run for 150 miles per charge, emitting zero emissions and costing only 3 cents per mile to drive. It's the most affordable eco-friendly drop-top we've seen yet.

Bonobos Pants

We've just found the holy grail of pants. To be more precise, we've just located the most perfect-fitting pants we've ever tried on. Hand-made in New York and San Francisco, Bonobos pants ($110-$350) provide an excellent tailored fit, including just-boot-cut-enough-but-not-too-girly pant legs. Current styles are available in a variety of colors in corduroy (in several different weights), wool/cashmere, and twill, with pairs that go with everything from tees to blazers. Only available online, you also get an awesome return policy and tremendously fun waistband and pocket fabrics. The bad thing about Bonobos? Every pair is produced in limited quantities. So don't even look at the "retired" section unless you want some major trouser regret.

Sculpted Steel Billiard Table

Looking for an edgier alternative to the traditional wooden pool table? Check out the No. 6 Sculpted Steel Billiard Table from Carbon Studio ($27,000).

Also pick up a Wok Utensil Set ($15) and some All-Natural Stir Fry Tea Oil ($17).

Puma Speeder

You can always count on Puma to pull out a stylish classic from its never-ending supply of vintage sneakers. The Puma Speeder ($60), originally released in the late 1970's, combines leather and mesh to form a great casual jogger.

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster

Nevermind the sleek looks of the brushed metal housing on the Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster (2-slice 130; 4-slice $180) — it's the internal smart chip that provides its beauty. The chip automatically lowers bread into the toasting slots at a touch, regulates toasting time, and facilitates the ultra-handy lift-and-look function and the subsequent "a bit more" setting. Meanwhile, the blue LED panels illuminate to the selected setting on the variable browning control, acting as a toasting progress indicator. Basically, if you burn your toast using this, you have only yourself to blame.

TAG Heuer Night Vision Driving Glasses

TAG Heuer wants you to wear your sunglasses at night. They've introduced a new pair of Night Vision Driving Glasses ($TBA) that are designed to maximize your driving performance from dusk to dawn using some contrast and color magic. Originally developed for drivers in the 24 Hours of LeMans, the glasses feature titanium frames and Reflex-style flexible temples.

BUG

If you're a do-it-yourself kinda guy, you might be interested in checking out the BUG for your gadget needs. Made up of a BUGbase ($300) and BUGmodules ($50-$100), BUG is a tinkerer's dream, allowing you to add functionality where and how you want it, and write software for the little guy using open source tools. It offers standard features like an ARM CPU, Linux, USB, a rechargeable battery, Ethernet, and more, but you can rest assured this is anything but a standard gadget.

LG SteamWasher & SteamDryer

While hot water is great for ridding your clothes of allergens, it's also hell on delicate fabrics. The LG SteamWasher ($1,300-$1,600) & SteamDryer ($1,100-$1,420) uses steam to soften the little guys up, so a quick blast of hot water is all it needs to get rid of them.

Oh, and it has a SteamFresh cycle that'll have your most wrinkled items fresh and ready to go in 20 minutes.

Dior Homme Aviator Sunglasses

While we tend to think the $3.99 gas station aviators are the best, these Dior Homme Aviator Sunglasses ($225) are looking pretty awesome too. With a black frame and dark UV400 lenses, the Italy-made shades have just the right amount of modern upgrades.

Vestal Plexi Watch

Lexus LS Hybrid

Wouldn't it be nice if you could buy a luxury sedan with muscle car horsepower that's still good to Mother Nature? That's precisely what you get with the 2008 Lexus LS 600h L (starting at $104,000). Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine and a high-output, electric-drive motor, this five-passenger hybrid sedan is capable of producing 438 total system horsepower.

We've been trying out this PUR Flavor Options Faucet Mount ($50) for the last few weeks, and couldn't be happier with the results. It looks great on the faucet, provides clean, refreshing drinking water, and the flavor cartridge provides results on par with most flavored bottled water. If you're thinking about picking one up, don't forget to grab some extra cartridges, available in strawberry, raspberry, and peach ($10).

Diesel Fuel For Life

Based solely on the looks of the bottle, Diesel Fuel For Life Spray ($45) might be the best fragrance on Earth. Luckily, it still smells damn good, with notes of star anise and pink grapefruit. Complement the spray with Fuel For Life After Shave ($43) and Fuel For Life Shower Gel ($28).

Black on black has never looked so good. It's no secret that the Porsche Design Studio makes some insanely awesome stuff.

[Thanks, Andrew]

Diadora Seb Impact

We're all for retro kicks, and when they feature advanced (at the time) technology like the Diadora Seb Impact ($124), we're in for sure. The Impact, developed between 1985 and '86, features different weights that can be inserted in the sole in different positions, allowing the shoe the ability to correct posture. Plus, the nylon and pigskin construction looks great in both white and blue, or the alternative yellow and grey.

Asahi Beerbot

If there's anything we like more than robots, it's beer-pouring robots. The Asahi Beerbot ($800) became an internet star when videos of it first appeared, and now you have the chance to own one yourself. The 'bot stores and refrigerates six cans — although it was designed for 350ml Japanese cans, it works with 355ml American cans just fine — and features a programmable voice, cleaning mode, and child lock. Beer. Pouring. Robot.

Adidas Stan Smith 2

Relax this summer in some simple, subdued kicks like the Adidas Stan Smith 2 ($65). These white tennis shoes were originally designed for play on grass with a dimple sole and rubber cup outsole, but we think they'll look just as good down by the water as they do on the court. Adidas' three stripes are perforated on the side, and small patches of green on the back and tongue are subtle reminders of the shoe's rich tennis heritage.

Tsubo Incan

Sometimes we get sick of all the retro sneakers and want to strap on something a little more modern. Available in several different colorways, the Tsubo Incan shoes ($94) are lightweight, sport a hook-and-loop closure system, and make us feel like we're living in 2007. [Thanks, Chris]

Kaenon Polarized Basis Sunglasses

We've been waiting for a pair of sunglasses to combine a modern design with classic aviator styling, and the Kaenon Polarized Basis Sunglasses ($280) do just that. For the past week, we've been putting them through the paces — and liked what we saw. At the heart of the glasses is Kaenon's new, patented SR-91 lens material, which combines strength and tremendous optical clarity in a thin, lightweight package. Highly Recommended.

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Headphones

There are a lot of options out there for noise-canceling headphones, but when they drown-out 85% of environmental noise without the radio on, you've found a winner. The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 Headphones ($135) offer noise canceling paired with 40mm neodymium drivers for great sound, as well as a detachable cable, carrying case, and airline adapter. Unless, that is, you want to listen to that crying baby three rows up for the entire flight.

Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer

Most of us prefer sandals to shoes, and not just because of the open air — lots of times, sandals are just way more comfortable. The Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer ($55) is basically a shoe upper on a sandal bottom, something the company calls "Barefoot Untechnology," which allows your foot to bend and flex naturally. [Thanks, VC]

Candles are a great way to create a relaxing, intimate mood, but unfortunately most of them smell so girly that it's practically not worth the effort. Enter the Tocca 007 Candle ($36/10.6 oz). Inspired by James Bond, the scent evokes the aromas of a dry martini and the interior of a vintage leather-clad Aston Martin. Plus, at 10.6 oz, it should last through quite a few "assignments." Take that, Yankee Candle.

Airsoft Gun w/Laser Sight

Take cubicle wars to a whole new level with the Airsoft Handgun with Laser Sight ($10). This small Airsoft pellet gun, with a removable clip for holding 12 shots, has a laser sight equipped for better aiming. Just remember not to whip this out in front of a cop and to also wear eye protection — this gun doesn't shoot Nerf darts.

Toyota Hybrid X Concept

Toyota recently took the wraps off the Toyota Hybrid X Concept ($TBA), one of the coolest futuristic cars we've seen in a long time. In addition to sporting hardcore hybrid technology, the car features conventional family car dimensions, an open-space design, and cool "interactive ambience" touches like two independent rear seats that can swivel by 12 degrees to allow back seat passengers to view the scenery passing by or turn towards each other for more intimate conversation.

The Overboard

A nice, big cutting surface is a must for anyone looking to get into cooking, but unfortunately the offerings you'll find at most kitchen stores are overpriced and undersized. The Overboard ($40) solves both those problems by sporting a 20"x20" cutting surface made from end grain solid hardwood. At 2" thick, it weighs in at 15+ pounds and it looks better than similar, smaller boards we've seen selling in the $100 neighborhood.

Utili-Key

Your toolbox will feel a lot lighter after you dump excess gear in favor of the Swiss Tech Utili-Key ($8). This lightweight, key-size, six-in-one tool sports a straight knife blade and a serrated cutting surface, a micro-sized screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, an eyeglass screwdriver, and a bottle opener. It has a quick-release design for snapping onto a key ring so it's ready to go when you are.

Perpetual Calendar

Professional office settings require guys to give up their swimsuit calendars. Add some pizzazz nonetheless to your cubicle walls with this Prepetual Calendar ($38). This eternal calendar lets you move the two magnetic balls to mark the date and month. It’s made of injection-molded plastic and magnets.

Come In/Go Away Doormat

We're suckers for typography design, so we couldn't be more intrigued by the Come In/Go Away Doormat ($TBA). This ambigram tells new arrivals to "Come In," inviting them into your home, and tells them to "Go Away" as they head out the door. Oh yeah, and it should keep some mud out of your house. [Thanks, Julie]

Paul Smith Linen Patch Pocket Jacket

This Paul Smith Linen Patch Pocket Jacket ($660) is perfect for the transition from winter to spring.

The Hedonism Handbook

In this world of health nuts, self-help gurus, and general malaise towards anything fun, it's easy to forget how to enjoy yourself. In The Hedonism Handbook: Mastering the Lost Arts of Leisure and Pleasure by Michael Flocker ($11) you get a tongue-in-cheek lesson on how to recapture simple pleasures such as fine cigars, the three-martini lunch, or just laying in a hammock under the stars. It's a simple reminder to all of us rat-racers that the point of life isn't to do everything you can, but to instead enjoy what you do.

Samsung Ultra Smart F700

Samsung looks to be bringing us one uber cool next generation multimedia cell phone in the form of the Ultra Smart F700 ($TBA). The standout features on this mobile are the full touch screen 2.78" display with drag and drop support and data access speeds of of 7.2 Mbps under the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network. There's also a QWERTY slide-out key pad, full HTML browser and 5-megapixel digital camera.

Technic Wall Lamp

Most wall-mounted lighting is rather subdued — you know, the kind of ceiling-aimed lamps you find at the movies. Not this lamp. The Lite Source Technic Wall Lamp ($50) features a fully-adjustable spot light that looks as industrial as it sounds. The 35-watt light provides terrific direct lighting, and the industrial design will add a touch of flair to any wall it's mounted on.

It's gonna be party night at your house every weekend with this Four-in-One Rotating Game Table ($600) from Hammacher Schlemmer. A turnstile knob rotates your playtime between hockey, foosball, billiards, or dice football, locking the particular game you want into place. Optional wheels lets you roll this game central around and it comes with all the little pieces you need for gaming late into the evening.

Rock & Republic Floyd Jean

Even though it's still winter, it's time to start thinking about your spring/summer wardrobe, including some new denim. We're liking the Rock & Republic Floyd Jean ($250), with its "city fit" and details like an angled coin slot and antiqued nickel buttons and rivets. The wash is dark blue with heavy fading on the front and seat, making them pretty versatile.

AX Wool Bomber Jacket

Now that Punxsutawney Phil has emerged without seeing his shadow, are you looking for a jacket to get you through the transition from winter to spring? You could do a lot worse that this Wool Bomber Jacket from Armani Exchange ($185). Made from 60% wool and 40% viscose, the jacket sports multiple pockets, a relaxed fit, and great band collar.

No dude likes walking around resembling an Alaskan black bear. The Tweezerman Deluxe Grooming Kit ($20) includes everything you need to keep your nails, face and nose looking smooth and hair-less. The kit comes with a set of stainless steel nail clippers, nail file, facial nose hair scissors, and a set of tweezers with a super small point for accuracy in plucking.

Diesel Sonstripe Shirt

Finding button-ups to distinguish yourself from the sea of plain solid-colored shirts out there isn't always an easy task, especially when you want a shirt that can pull double duty in both the board room and the champagne room. The Diesel Sonstripe Shirt ($134) fits the bill with a nice robin's egg hue and embroidered same-color vertical stripes. The 100% cotton construction keeps the shirt feeling great on your skin, and the slightly athletic cut makes sure you'll look your best.

iLuv i199 Speaker System

It's that time of year again — time for more gadgets than you can count coming from CES and Macworld Expo. The first early arrival we're checking out is the iLuv i199 Speaker System ($230; March). It features built-in Bluetooth that can both receive tunes from your phone or computer, or transmit to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. In addition, it has an iPod dock built-in, AM/FM radio, CD/MP3 CD player, and dual alarm functionality.

Tottenham Shirt

You can't go wrong with polka dots. The Tottenham Shirt ($198), from New York's What Comes Around Goes Around, is a poplin woven shirt with embroidered polka dot detail and button closure. It's available in black with dune detail or black with cadet detail. Whatever that means.

Recycling is an important responsibility for all of us, and anything that makes it easier is okay by us. The Ecopod E1 Home Recycling Center ($330) is a one-stop compaction and collection center for your home. Simply drop your can or plastic bottle in, step on the activator, and your item is compacted and dropped into an enclosed collection bin.

The jacket features a relaxed fit with three-button front and peak lapel, while the pants have a single-pleat front and a standard 38" inseam that requires hemming.

As bonus, the razor takes widely available Mach 3 replacement blades. And don't forget to order some top notch shaving cream.

Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept

At next month's Detroit Auto Show, Toyota will unveil this stunning concept sports car that would be powered by a 400-hp hybrid powertrain. Sporting super aggressive styling, the Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept ($35,000 est.) is envisioned as a coupe to replace the retired Supra, with a 0-60 target of 4 seconds. A 3.5-liter V6 engine would deliver most of the power, while an electric motor will provide fuel-efficiency. It'll sport a unique retractable roof and an ultra-futuristic interior. Let's pray to the car gods that this one gets made.

Zontik Rubik's Cube

The classic Rubik's Cube is a great little toy to have around the house or office, but let's face it: the original, plastic cube is a bit of an eyesore in a lot of environments and can sometimes seem tacky. Fix that problem with this beautiful Zontik Games Rubik's Cube ($155). Made from solid chrome with rich leather inlaid sides, no one will ever call this Cube "tacky."

DB Clay Stampage Wallet

It's not often that we get to cover a wallet that's traditional yet a little funky at the same time, but that's exactly what we have here. The DB Clay Stampage Wallet ($55) is a matte black wallet with a glossy, black, grandma's wallpaper-style print on it. Other features include a waterproof nylon lining and rounded corners, but its double dose of black is the real attention getter.

LaCie Huby

The LaCie Huby ($80) is truly a work of art for your desk. Designed by Ora-Ito, the glossy white computer hub sports eight flexible tentacles with LEDs — two FireWire, four USB ports, a USB fan, and a USB light. The Huby works with both Macs and PCs.

Sennheiser MX75 Sport Headphones

Working out to music gets a little better with the Sennheiser MX75 Sport headphones ($50), which offer a twist on traditional design via their "Twist-to-Fit" system for a more secure ear fit. They're moisture-resistant, have a cool looking neon green profile and sport powerful neodymium magnets for better sound. They also come with an ear adapter set.

A&F Classic Low Rise Stretch Brief

Yes, they're overpriced, but when it comes to keeping your jewels comfortable, is there such a thing? The Abercrombie Classic Low Rise Stretch Brief ($23) has become our favorite undergarment in the last month or so. Made from a super-soft 95% Pima cotton/5% spandex blend, they keep your package both looking and feeling good.

V-Moda Vibe Earphones

Whether you use them with your iPod or Zune, the V-Moda Vibe Earphones ($101) will grab all of the attention. The noise-isolating earphones feature an elegant, lightweight design sculpted from alloy metal. In our sound tests, we were surprised to find that the Vibes rank right up there with Etymotic and Shure earphones we've used. Great bass, mid-range and highs. The earphones come in a leather pouch with three sizes of ultra-soft silicon fittings to fit any ear.

JWN Argyle Cashmere Sweater

Argyle patterns will always be cool. This Argyle Cashmere Sweater ($195) from JWN comes in a great espresso color and sports a rib-knit crewneck, cuffs and hem. Super soft cashmere is always a bonus.

Blendtec Total Blender

After seeing the company behind this product blend up golf balls, a coke can, marbles, and even a rake handle, we knew it deserved a place on Uncrate. The Blendtec Total Blender ($400), with 1500-watts of power and a super strong motor, is the most powerful home blender on the market. Featuring Smart-Touch technology (automatically speeds up and slows down, then shuts off when the cycle is complete), a 64-ounce jar, and Blendtec's commercial blending history, this blender will blend, chop, grind, crush and mince anything you throw at it.

Lacoste Zip Front Rib Knit Cardigan

This cotton/wool zip-front cardigan sits right between sporty and casual for an excellent cold-weather wardrobe addition. The Lacoste Zip Front Rib Knit Cardigan ($165) will see lots of use no matter what you've got on underneath.

Air Traffic Control Pillow

Yeah, it's overpriced, but the Air Traffic Control Pillow ($70) sure is cool. Sold by Japanese toy-loving Super7 magazine, the pillow is 18-inches square and comes in a great light blue and brown design.

Hugo Boss Drawstring Pants

As the air outside gets colder, it's nice to have some lounge clothes that can keep up. Clothes like these Hugo Boss Drawstring Pants ($60). Made from a cotton knit, their relaxed style and piping keep them looking good, while the elasticized drawstring waist keeps you comfortable and the side pockets keep them functional. Who said comfy lounge clothes had to start with the word "Sweat," anyway?

Colby Leather Valet

Almost every guy we know of has a drawer somewhere in their house where they keep the contents of their pockets when it's time to change into house clothes. Now you can get that stuff organized with the Colby Leather Valet ($39). It has three open compartments to hold items like your wallet, cell, loose change, credit cards, etc., along with a lidded compartment to hold jewelry, watches, and the like. The best part? Now you can keep this stuff out in the open, and use that spare drawer for something else.

Go Smile Advanced Formula B1

We've all seen commercials for Crest Whitestrips and the like, but having one of those things in your mouth for the recommended time is not only uncomfortable, it's a little gross. We've been trying out the Go Smile Advanced Formula B1 ($90), and it performs well without the inconvenience of strips. Professionally formulated by Jonathan B. Levine, D.M.D., the formula comes in little portable bottles with brush-tip ends so you can customize your whitening and do it on the go. Plus, it'll make your teeth between 4-10 shades whiter in just seven days, perfect for getting your teeth in shape before the holidays.

Guess Simon Dobby English Shirt

This great button-down shirt from Guess sits right between formal and casual — perfect for a night out. The Simon Dobby English Shirt ($80) has got subtle vertical stripes and long sleeves with double cuffs. If black is too dark for you, Guess also offers a starlight blue color. And remember, a crewneck undershirt should not be worn with either.

Amenity Pillows

As cool as your couch may be, there's always a way to make it look even better — and these definitely fit the bill. Amenity Pillows ($95-$180) come in a variety of sizes, colors, and prints to make sure that they match your decor perfectly. We're pretty big fans of the Bloom Pillow in Cream with Copper ($95-$105; pictured) but there are plenty more that are worth checking out for your home, and the matching wall prints are pretty sweet as well.

Nintendo Wii

Not since the days of the Super Nintendo have we been this pumped up for a console launch. The Nintendo Wii ($250; Nov. 19) is the next-generation console from Nintendo, and it looks like a blast. With a revolutionary controller that lets you use movements to control games, Nintendo is shooting for gameplay that is more fun and communal, shunning better graphics for other innovations. Oh, and did we mention it comes with Wii Sports, which includes tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing games? And you can play old Gamecube games on it, but the biggest — and to us, most exciting — feature is the Virtual Console, which will let you download and play NES, SNES, N64, TurboGrafx 16, and Genesis games, all from the Wii. Wii can't wait.

Fresh Cannabis Santal

Despite the name, this isn't supposed to make you smell like a pothead. Fresh Cannabis Santal ($75) is a unique, masculine scent that features notes of dark plum, patchouli, magnolia, chocolate, vanilla musk, kumquat, and vetiver. Smells nice, sounds illegal — what more do you want? [Thanks, Clint!]

Reach Fresh & Clean Toothbrush

Despite what many people think, a toothbrush doesn't have to be expensive to do a decent job of cleaning your teeth. We've been trying out the Reach Fresh & Clean Toothbrush w/ Tongue Cleaner ($5 for 2) for the last few weeks and it really is a great toothbrush. While the bristles do the cleaning job on your teeth, the real kicker is the integrated tongue cleaner on the opposite side. Together, this combo not only fights plaque but also keeps your breath fresh — which is always a good thing.
