Sunbeam Donut Maker

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Grub    Posted date:  August 22, 2012  |  No comment


August 22, 2012

[$30] If nothing else, we Americans support our economy through our over-consumption of indescribably unhealthy foods… and now you can support it a little more. The Sunbeam Donut Maker is the greatest thing ever since the discovery of bacon, and equally unhealthy for you. (more…)

August 15, 2012

[TBA] Have you ever wanted a floor lamp that references James Bond AND scares the ever-loving piss out of you when you try to find the bathroom at 3 AM, because here it is! It’s the Octopussy Floor Lamp, and it’s beautiful and terrifying. (more…)

Modular Shower Station

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  hygiene    Posted date:  August 14, 2012  |  No comment


August 14, 2012

[$70] Not that we have the energy in the morning to sort out all the bells and whistles on a Modular Shower Station, but as far as shower accessories go, it still looks cool as shit. Not that shit is cool. It’s more of a lukewarm. Not that we would know. (more…)

August 13, 2012

[$20] You paid a lot of money for that bottle of aged bourbon, and you’ll be damned if you’re going to let your swarthy little roommate guzzle it while you’re at work. Do yourself a favor and invest in peace of mind with a Bottle Lock – pretty much the only thing that will keep prying lips off your hooch without breaking the bottle. (more…)

RC Armored Drink Carrier

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  summer    Posted date:  August 10, 2012  |  No comment


August 10, 2012

[$100] They call is the Armored RC Drink Carrier, but we’re going to call it the prank drink carrier from hell. Yeah sure, it can bring you a drink. It can also spray you in the face with pool water at the hands of one of your a-hole friends. (more…)

DC Pool LE

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Kicks    Posted date:  August 10, 2012  |  No comment


August 10, 2012

[$55] The DC Pool LE offers a lit bit of style that’s good in any weather conditions. The super ventilated exterior means your feetsies will stay cool in blistering heat, and the material composition itself is all quick-drying, water-resistant material so you’ll be dry in the rain. (more…)

Rosle Pizza Wheel

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Pizza    Posted date:  August 9, 2012  |  No comment


August 9, 2012

[$35] We never put much thought into pizza wheels but thank gravy someone is. The Rosle Pizza Wheel is a certifiable piece of modern art. (more…)

Sebastian Slim Wallet

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Wallet    Posted date:  August 9, 2012  |  No comment

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  August 7, 2012  |  No comment


August 7, 2012

[$300+] For the discerning rock lover, we humbly present Wool Stones. They’re essentially giant throw pillows, but through some clever design work they look just like smooth stones. (more…)

Eau de Lacoste Olympic Edition

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  hygiene    Posted date:  August 2, 2012  |  No comment


August 2, 2012

[$70] We’re not sure if Lacoste is really in the Olympic spirit, or if they just know how to exploit the public, but either way we’re fans of their Eau de Lacoste Beauty of the Game Edition. It smells just like the original lady charmer, but it sports an international themed package. Slap a higher price tag on it and you’ve got yourself gold. (more…)

iPhone Scuba Suit

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  iPhone    Posted date:  August 1, 2012  |  No comment


August 1, 2012

Arnette Dibs

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Shades    Posted date:  July 31, 2012  |  No comment


July 31, 2012

[$90] Picking up a pair of Arnette Dibs is almost like picking up two pairs of shades. They’re like a stylized Wayfarer, with an extra set of colorful arms for when you’re feeling fresh. (more…)
