iGolf GPS Caddie

Next up for our week long dedication of gadgets for Father’s Day we have a golf related item. The iGolf GPS Caddie helps dad improve his game. Sure the iGolf Caddie won’t lug the clubs around, but who walks the course anyway when you are allowed to drink and drive on the golf course (by the way, golf carts can tip over…)!

The iGolf Caddie helps improve your game by automatically telling dad the distance to the front, center and back of the green while listing hazards such as sand traps and water hazards using GPS.

The iGolf Caddie won’t help your shanks, but if dad is a pretty good golfer… he’d love this.

R/C Star Wars R2-D2 Action Figure

Remember that kid who lived down the street from you who owned like every Star Wars action figure in existence? He even had one of those cool Grandmothers who knew everything about Star Wars and bought him that giant AT-AT for his birthday. When you went over to his house he would force you to play with Greedo and forbid you from touching any of his other toys. Meanwhile you had to search for leftover change in vending machines just to scrape up enough action figure money to buy the slave girl version of Leia and Boba Fett. If you’re anything like us the whole experience left you mentally scarred for years… causing you to lust after every Star Wars goodie available and have recurring fantasies of your girlfriend in a bikini chained to a huge green slug. Sad.

Now that you have money and a real job you can show up that damn Star Wars action figure hoarding brat. This R/C R2-D2 Action Figure is like a Star Wars fanboy’s wet dream come true. The size of a regular action figure, this tiny droid is fully controllable from the included lightsaber remote. Authentic R2-D2 sounds, turning head and red LED eye complete the package. No more playing with your old skool Star Wars figures by shaking them and talking in a funny voice, this is the real deal… and we don’t kid when it come to Star Wars. We would have killed for this little R2 gem as a kid and it’s still pretty damn cool as an adult.

The screen on the SG4 is larger than on the original, it stores 10 courses, and you can plug in an optional SD card for even more storage. USB connect it to your computer to download course data.

Soldius 1 Solar Charger

The cost of most forms of energy has increased a lot recently. Thankfully, the energy emitted from the Sun is still free (until some scrooge genius figures out how to charge for it). The Soldius 1 Solar Charger can help you tap into this free source of energy; you just plug it in and point it towards the Sun. It generates enough power to fully recharge your device batteries in just 2 to 3 hours (in direct sunlight).

Check out the compatibility chart to see if you can charge up your gadgets and save some green by being green.

I <3 You Flower Can

Today’s Gizmo is really a hack… of a plant that is.

Life, as we know it, comes in many shapes and sizes. That is the beauty of our world. And what better way to celebrate that beauty, than by canning it. Each Flower Can distills the wonder of growing a garden into the most basic of botanical procedures: pop the top and bottom, add water, place in sun. That’s it! But that’s not the magic part! Just wait until your true love sees the bean sprout, emblazoned with the text: I ♥ You. It’s an experience your intended will treasure forever. The bean will then grow into a vine as your love grows – more and more each day.

Ok, I just threw up a little in my mouth…
