No Cooties Travel Spray

No Cooties Travel SprayAs any 2nd-grader knows, there’s nothing worse than cooties.  And that where the No Cooties Travel Spray comes in.  Made with a blend essential oils, it’s acti-bacterial properties effectively cleans the air in your vicinity, and helps keep you from getting sick when travelling.  And if sprayed in the eyes of the guy next to you, maybe you can take possession of the arm rest!

Vibrating Alarm Clock

Vibrating Alarm ClockThis alarm has two ways of waking you: First, it has an adjustable volume alarm that goes up to 113 decibels!  For reference, a jackhammer it about 100 decibels.  The second waking mechanism of the clock is (as the it’s name suggests) a powerful bed vibrator.  For a little fun, you can always shut off the audible alarm and just let the bed shake away…  Heck, this would make a pretty good Valentine’s Day gift!

Dog Treadmill

Dog TreadmillI’ve always joked to my brother that maybe his 110 lb. dogs should maybe spend a few minutes on the treadmill, but I never realized that someone has actually made a treadmill just for dogs.  Granted, it’s built for smaller pets, but in the cold winter it might be a good way for some of our four-legged friends to get a little bit of exercise!

Log Pillow

Log PillowWhat I like best about the Log Pillow is the thought of hauling this out during a pillow fight.  Start whacking people around with this thing, and the fight will be over before you know it.

Snopals

SnopalsHere’s a great gift for little kids – the Snopals.  When making a snowman is just too much work – or this isn’t enough snow – just make a smallish snowball, and decorate it using the Snopals kit.  And you’re left with a super-cute penguin family!

Flexible Shaft Screwdriver

Flexible ScrewdriverI’ll readily admit that here at GiftZen Labs we don’t often have a lot of need for tools.  But, on those rare occasions, the Flexible Shaft Screwdriver would sure come in handy.  It has 23 different uses, including the ability to drive screws, nuts or bolts at virtually any angle.  It even comes with a socket adapter with 5 sockets.  This is one of those tools that you don’t realize how much you need it until you get it.

Ear Pops Ear Warmers

Ear Pops Ear WarmersI’m not sure about these – it seems like they wouldn’t stay on your ears very well, and they’d be uncomfortable, and look pretty goofy.  But, if they work…  I’m not a fan of ear muffs, and I haven’t had one of those ear flaps hats since I was a little kid.  So, I hope they work!
