Yes, some of the wireless world still depends on corded headsets for their cell phones. Don't blame us if T-Mobile is stingy with the Bluetooth! So while we await a dramatic upgrade into the 21st century, we'll soldier on with something like Plantronics' MX505 Mobile Headset, a deliverer of crisp sound from our Treo and our office land-line cordless alike. It has interchangeable "wind tubes" that muffle outside noises, and the earpiece even fits our nonstandard, low-mounted auricles. Mute and volume switches are located on the cord. No Freudian jokes about the umbilical cord, okay? We're just not in the mood.
How long have you waited for something so eloquent? You want to make sure other drivers know exactly how you feel, but between the steering wheel, the cell phone, the Starbucks, and XM, well let's face it, your fingers are otherwise occupied. Perfect: enter the Flick'n the Bird Pump Up Finger, an inflatable hand that sticks to your car window and does the dirty work for you. Squeeze its pump (I don't know, with your foot, maybe?) and give them an inflatable piece of your mind.
Tibaldi for Bentley pen, $$$$
High-end writing instruments are a relatively old obsession - think Ben Franklin and that silly feather he carried around in all those Scooby Doo cartoons. But old-school pens still bring in new fans, particularly those from Italian maker Tibaldi. Tibaldi's latest pen is a collaboration with Bentley Motors, and a celebration of 60 years of production at the Bentley factory at Crewe . A diamond metal finish on the pen and a diamond wood marquetry on its case inform the learned collector of its value-but for those of us who can't afford the usual $3000 price tag for a Tibaldi, it just makes it look pretty. Find yours at the Bentley dealer while your Conti GT is getting fresh rims.
