As of this afternoon, we're pleased to announce that we have the Marshall Hanwell Speaker here in NYC, just in time to rock around the Christmas tree (or the nondenominational decorative object of your choice). On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the renowned amplifier company is making its signature sound available to music lovers in addition to musicians themselves: the speaker features a standard 1/8” stereo input and cable, which can plug directly in to just about any consumer audio device on the market. The result of a collaboration between Marshall Headphones and Zound Industries, the Hanwell is the first home audio product to earn the Marshall script logo and continue the late Jim Marshall's legacy of loud.
Features include: - Wooden cabinet with vinyl skin - Brushed brass control panel - 100W Class-D amplifier - Dual 6-inch long-throw woofers and bass porting - Two ferrofluid-cooled hi-fi tweeters to take care of the higher frequencies

Even in hard times there's so much to celebrate! Break out the bubbly (without the guilt) with this Cristalino. According to Allan, "this under-ten-dollar fake champagne rivals almost any genuine article in the $60-$80 range, including you're famed Veuve Clicquot." You will need to toast to 2012 at the start of it, and then again on the last day of it (read, Armageddon), so stock up with a dozen of these and enjoy this final year right to the last drop.

The EcoSphere is a self-contained ecosystem enclosed in a microcosmic terrarium. While it's certainly a soothing or otherwise diverting desktop decoration, it also might serve to jumpstart life on earth, should it be necessary in the aftermath of apocalypse.

Take a nip off this rugged and classic flask from Stanley and dull a bit of the edge off this hump day—not to mention the stress of living in a post-apocalyptic nightmare.

There are few objects which can cost so little yet affect your life so significantly. The Tweakers Portable rechargeable speaker will make you wonder how you ever put up with the tiny speaker inside your iPhone, and it's very affordable price compared to the Jawbones and FoxLs.

Rapid Prototype with the power of your own two hands using ShapeLock Plastic! "Mold plastic with your hands (and some hot water) and amaze and bewilder other wasteland humanoids with your "magic" abilities to establish tribal dominance. Trust me, I saw this in a movie once."

The fortune cookie is a particular kind of delight, imparting wisdom in the form of gnomic insights and meme-worthy one-liners in equal measure, not to mention numerology and language lessons to boot.

In other words, when the going gets tough, the tough get GETS.
