I think you can see why these beanies sold out quickly in the fancy purls Etsy shop. The good news is that they appear to take custom orders.

Since the winter is drawing to a close, you can only use your friendly Portal Companion Gloves for a short time, then you must euthanize them with fire to mark the return of Spring. Hopefully it will be back next year to help you through the cold months.

Supercharge your high fives with this DIY exploding high five glove project from Eli Skipp. Using a force sensor and an Arduino, the glove can add an explosive sound to authentic high fives (as opposed to simply placing your hand down on a table).

It’s a little bulky at the moment, but with some refinement it could be a proper bit of wearable absurdity. Hopefully a fist bump sequel is also in the works. Check out the video after the break to see the glove in action.

You’ve seen silly bandz everywhere. Maybe you’ve bought them for yourself or someone else. But it’s not often a silly band can be both fun and informative.

Kikkerland had come out with a line of Kama Sutra Bands. Granted, you’re not going to want to trade them with your kids, but there’s some fun to be had on an adult level.

Tease your lover by wearing them out in public, or trade them for flirtation purposes. I’m sure you can think of something ;-)

That’s right—fingerless gloves in the form of your favorite TMNT characters. Fingerless gloves aren’t just for bums and early ’80s Eddie Murphy stand-up routines anymore.

Speaking of TMNT, take a listen to this a capella version of the original cartoon theme. You’ll never get it out of your head. Sorry.
