Operating the wireless electric skates is a breeze with the wireless remote control that you hold in your hand. The wireless remote allows you to control the throttle for both skates simultaneously.

The Packable Closet

 

Many homeowners (especially home makers) face the dilemma of organizing the many things in a small leaving area. The Packable Closet would be able to help individuals facing such trouble – it is a storage structure that enables individuals to organize items efficiently. Items such as towels, clothes, and even shoes could be fitted into three levels of shelves.

Not to mention that it could fit neatly into a suitcase if you are a person on the go.  Imagine the ease of packing for travelling, just unhook the packable closet from your wardrobe, and fit it into your suitcase – and you are ready to go!

When you are at home, you could hang the packable closet over a door or even on a closet rod. As mentioned earlier, the packable closet comes with three layers which allow you to organize your clothing (or other items) according to your preference. After you have put in the clothes, you could then lower it into an open suitcase, keeping the clothes in place. It could also easily be removed upon arrival of your destination.

The packable closet’s size is at 21 inch long and 117 and a half inch wide; it could fit into most of the carry on suitcases. Not only that, it could support up to 35 lbs, and the height of the straps are adjustable.  The packable closet is also water resistant, the mesh side panels could be cleaned easily, as well as provide ventilation to the clothes that is stored.

8 Foot Tavern Bowling Game

 

You know what is amazing in this world of ours? We can get beautifully crafted miniature games of real sports which we can enjoy in the comfort of our own home. Forget about games like foosball which are so yesterday. The in thing to enjoy now would be a game of bowling – right smack in the living room. If you think I am going balmy, have a look at this. The 8 Foot Tavern Bowling Game is exactly like that it says. It is fully automated and gives you the ultimate sensation of playing bowling in your house without the hassle of finding the right size shoes, which is a huge blessing in my book!

The rules are of course similar to regular bowling. All you need to do is push the steel puck down the lane and strike as many of the pins as possible. It is really miniature size. The fun is also in using the right amount of strength to get all ½ inch pins at one go. What I love about the 8 Foot Tavern Bowling Game though is the fact that it has internal mechanisms that automatically moves the pins once you have struck them down. How is that for an exact imitation of what goes on in bowling alleys around the world?

There are two speakers attached to this bowling game – one is 30 watt and the other 100 watts which is perfect for the commentary which goes on throughout the whole game. You also have a 27 inch LCD screen display which shows you just where you stand where scores are concerned. At $6000 a piece, it might not be within everyone’s budget. However, it still is an awesome way to spend a weekend with the family.

Converse Limited Edition Super Mario Shoes

 

Personally, I am not a Converse fan; I have never owned a pair and probably never will. I just don’t like the look of them and I have no idea whether they are comfortable or not. However, I know there are lots of Converse fans out there and hopefully this clothes gadget should interest you.

It’s called the Super Mario Bros Themed Converse Shoes and there will be two designs to choose from. The first one will be a blue design similar to the very first level on the original game within the Mushroom Kingdom. On it you can view Mario jumping over a couple of enemies called Goomba on one side of the shoe and Mario and a Koopa Troopa on the other side. The second pair of shoes is a dark design with Mario, The Princess, and Bowser on.

Aimed at Nintendo fans, these shoes are due to be released next month in Japan. If you don’t live in Japan then I guess you will have to import them, it’s a shame but I am sure the extra cost will be worth it.
