Gear: Fila Retro Sneakers/Duds
For a limited time only, Fila's brought back a healthy stock of their hottest vintage track jackets, plus a smattering of classic kicks, like the the summer-ready White Line and the prominently-tongued 70s Fitness, which'll make you either as derangedly successful as Arnold, or as hopelessly deranged as Mike Katz.

Service: Ztail
So you don't get screwed at your garage sale/pawn shop, Tail provides pinpoint pricing on anything you've got lying around by crunching as-new prices, eBay listings, and guesses from both users and participants in Tail's Facebook pricing game -- even more popular than The Price is Right, because who wants to hug Drew Carey?

Drinks: Talon Ice Tongs
These 8-inch long nickel-plated tongs snag cubes with a pair of eagle talons, a significant improvement over the clumsy Limited Edition Duck Foot Collection.
For the first interesting ice bowl ever, pick the tongs up at FireworkGallery.net
Gadget: Grace Digital Weatherproof Submersible Floating Speaker
Dock your iPod in the 150ft-range transmitter for 6hrs of water-rockin' party tunes from the round floating speaker (you can also add up to 10 additional orbs). The speaker can actually be submerged up to nine feet for 30 minutes -- which'd be great for David Blaine, if he could hear anything over the roar of his own suck.

Great Ideas From the Past: Marital Rating Chart
Find out how your lady stacks up with this circa-1939 chart that awards both merits (e.g., Good sense of humor, jolly and gay; Dresses for breakfast) and demerits (Wears red nail polish; Seams in hose often crooked). Oddly, it's impossible to score above "Poor" -- of course, in 1939, wasn't everybody?
