This is in the running for coolest gift ever: The Reverse Geocache Puzzle Box (”“You are — how you say in English? — a BASTARD!”). Here’s a nice video overview. See also this variation, the Woodpecker Puzzle Cache and these wind-up birds.

I’ll definitely have to try Sharpie’s new Liquid Pencil when they come out in September.

Following right on the heels of yesterday’s grisly post comes another neodymium link, but this one replaces “grisly” with “cool”: Cool Tools on the NeoCube. I want one.

P.S. NOT for little kids. Having one in one part of your intestine and another in another part, and having them lodged because they attract each other through the intestinal walls would not be good. See, couldn’t quite avoid the “grisly” when dealing with these suckers.

Two gift guides I look forward to are up: Hackszine and Core77.

Core77 does the best holiday gift guide.

Design blogs have the best gift guides:

• Core77's 77 Design Gifts Under $77
• Inhabitat's Cheap Gifts Under $30
• Josh Spear's "holiday"-tagged posts

Depending on your political slant, a "Mommy wants a new president" t-shirt could be perfect. Of course, I guess it's more a gift for the kid than the mom.
