Slippies Heatable Slippers – toasty toes

Slipppies Heatable Slippers. We were brought up to believe that the only things you placed inside a microwave oven had to enter your mouth shortly after the ping went off. So for these footwear gizgags to appear on the ping-done market has shocked us to the core. Nevertheless, we like blue. $29.95.  Made from super-snuggly-soft polar fleece, Slippies are filled with wheat grains, top and bottom (so don’t expect to be running a marathon in them) and they’re fragranced with…

Complete Foot Massager – mmm….total tootsie bliss

The Complete Foot Massager apparently does more than yer average such device because it ‘kneads both sides of the foot’ while avoiding sensitive ankles. Well thank goodness for that. We wouldn’t want any untoward ankle grabbing in our household, I can tell you. Also comes with a wireless remote control, which makes us feel all tingly inside. Oh yes. $299.95.  Unlike other massagers that only vibrate the soles of ones feet and provide no applied pressure elsewhere, this foot massager uses two pairs of…

Mechanical Mustang – ride ’em flab face

The Mechanical Mustang Riding Horse. Back in the day a mechanical Mustang was something that Steve McQueen drove very fast through San Francisco, but tymes changeth. Today, it’s a high energy workout machine that wouldn’t look out of place in your front parlour [Eh…Ed?]. We can’t vouch for it’s effectiveness in losing those pounds, but we do predict that the fad for these things will fade away as quickly as it did for those little belts you strap on which are supposed to pulse your fat…
