Happy Mother's Day to all you gaming mommies!!

Spray Paint Pillows

It takes a whole lot more to be a good street artist than just drive. You got to have talent but possibly more importantly, you need to have a love and appreciation for it. So why shouldn't you express your affections for the arts with these stuffed and totally cuddable spray paint cans? Unfortunately, the lifestyle of an artist is hardly profitable, especially when you have a taste for finer cooler things. Disappointingly yet unsurprisingly, these spray paint pillows are on the more pricey side of $100.00. Measuring in at 30 inches tall and 10 inches around with your choice between red, aqua, or purple cap. Check em' out on Recon.

Ugliest DS Ever?

No offense to anyone who actually likes it, but I thought the whole aesthetically appealing thing about Nintendo was their simple and clean designs. The DS is a good looking piece as is, so why fix something that's not broken? I mean, doesn't that go for all gamer's taste, the whole "harder, faster, louder" look and deal? Not "sparkly, chunky, trashy". Then again the site responsible, King-Deco, isn't really catering to gamers but rather to the young girls of Asia with a cell phone. Let's hope we'll never have to see one of these in person. Bleuh!

Kid Art Necklace

Though it's too late for this year's Mother's Day, this could still be a great gift idea for next year's or an upcoming birthday. Through Analiese's Etsy shop, you can have your child's artwork made into a pendant for the lovely mother. Seriously though, moms totally love that stuff. And no worries, there's no age limit of accepted art work, so if you really want to print that awesome stick figure wrestling the crocodiles doodle on polymer clay for your mom then go for it.

Emergency Party Button

Sometimes when attempting to build an explosive party, you end up with a real dud. That's when it's time to pull out the Emergency Party Button. No, seriously. It starts an emergency party. No. Seriously. 

Basically, it is exactly what it sounds like; a button that instantly launches a party. When pressed, the blinds to my apartment close, the kitchen, hallway, dining room, and living room lights dim, the stereo starts blasting Haddaway - What Is Love, black lights turn on, laser lights start moving to the music, a strobe light goes on, and the fog machine starts up. With another press of the button, the party is gone as easily as it started. It may not be the most hi-tech thing in the world, but people sure as hell love it when they come over

This is truly the greatest solution to the awkward silence. I want at least 10 of these; two for every room. I don't know about you, I'm all about starting my morning off with a good party. THEN I do the coffee. Also, there's nothing better than launching a party that ends just as quickly as it begins. I just like to keep my guests and neighbors thinking "did that really just happen?" at all times possible.

If you are in desperate need of an Emergency Party Button, head on over here for expert party help and more details.
