2-carat-mug

This gadget is the ultimate windup for any girlfriend.  What appears to be a “Diamond” ring in a nicely packaged presentation box is indeed a porcelain mug. Within the presentation box all that can be observed is the handle of the mug which is shaped and designed like a standard engagement ring.

The scene has to be set, i.e. nice candle lit dinner (possibly on the anniversary of first meeting your girlfriend or on her birthday works well as well). Present the box to your girlfriend then watch her face light up then drop as she realized that an elegant ring is actually a mug.

Filed under Miscellaneous Gadgets


Many gadgets products we post about today are nothing new, just smaller than whats available now and thats what the pocket projector gadget is all about. Who would have thought that a projector could be made available as a portable pocket device,  but now it is.

The new 3M sneak pocket size projector is one of the most advanced and highly innovative projectors which has the advantage of being able to be carried along with you wherever you go. Historically, projectors have been large in size that were unsuitable for the travelling businessman to take to meetings, etc. However this gadget will change all that.  Its not going to win any awards for the best picture quality projector out amongst its rivals but really what can you expect from the size of it. Early reports indicate it will be available to buy in coming weeks.
