There are a number of weirder luxury gadgets coming out this Spring.  Some of them are really novel and worth mentioning here.

The ShotCarver is a good example. It turns your ordinary fruit into shot glasses. Just insert the ShotCarver into your apple, pears or other fruits, twist and remove it. Then all you have to do is fill it with alcohol.   If you let it sit for a bit it is likely that some fruit flavor will be infused into the liquor as well.  For instance you could take a shot of apple flavored vodka and drink it inside a green apple shot glass.The cost of this cute little gadget is about twelve bucks.

Along the same lines is something called the Candle Carver which chunks out the center of any piece of fruit so that a candle can fit inside of it. This can give your table a really natural look.

Usually an extension cord is a fairly ugly object.  Usually they are nothing more than a straight line of rubber.  A jewelery designer named Natalie Coste makes beaded extension cords. She uses giant wooden beads to dress them up so that they don’t look as ugly on floor. Of course this can still look like a heap of tangled necklaces.  This is a pretty expensive bling and strictly for the well-heeled. A ten foot extension cord costs about $330.

If you like retro stuff you will like the QTV Digital Photo Frame. It looks just like an eighties portable television and is available in tacky pink or yellow. It’s more than just a reminder of the Brady Bunch. It has a lot of digital functions including it’s 3.5″ TFT LCD screen. It has a photo viewer, FM radio, alarm clock, MP3 player and video player. The QTV has both a USB and SD Card slot to load up anything.  You want to watch on it.

If you like blinks it is time to get rid of that dull grey mouse of yours and inject some glamour onto your desktop.  You can now get a Diamante mouse that is studded with glittery fake diamonds. It is ten times three centimeters – roughly the same size as one of those binged out cell phones. It is compatible with USB and highly recommended if you want to make your workstation look less dull and corporate.

Also quite glamorous are the new touch less gadgets. You can now get touch less trashcans, touch less faucets and touch less toilets.  This is because these appliances have a smart chip anthem that uses harmless invisible infrared technology to sense when you are within six inches of the device.  Believe it or not you can now also get a touch less shower curtain.
