Ever wonder how those action heroes look absolutely cool in their pair of sunnies while they’re busy fighting the baddies? In fact, they might get scratched all over and shot at with bullet wounds to show, but somehow all that rough and tumble lifestyle doesn’t seem to faze their sunglasses one bit. No sir, not a scratch can be found.
Perhaps they were wearing the Japan Self Defense Force Sunglasses? Each pair is so tough that they won’t even crack even when you throw a nasty punch at it. Even better is, the Japanese military has given their full endorsement of the Japan Self Defense Force Sunglasses. Just to get an idea on how tough its lenses are, when hit at 106mph by a 0.3″ object, you won’t find the lens cracking. Apart from that, it can also walk away unscrathed even when a 500g piece of iron is dropped on it. $317 is the asking price for this.

This Christmas dads who want to surprise their kids might actually end up getting the PicoZ Heli Mission for themselves

This groundbreaking R/C mash up combines the thrill of helicopter flight with the excitement of driving a SWAT truck. Wow! It might look like a stealthy brute of a vehicle – and it is – but this macho truck features a cavernous cargo bay that opens up, upon your command, to reveal a fully-functioning micro helicopter sitting on an auto-elevating launchpad. Incredible! It’s like Thunderbirds meets Airwolf with a highly Hasselhoffian touch of 80s folly thrown in for good measure. Both precision-engineered machines are controlled via a single transmitter with smart shoulder buttons that allow you to switch seamlessly between truck and chopper.

One thing though – what happens when the helicopter is in mid-air and you switch over to the truck? Will it just hover there until the subsequent instruction? Guess you’ll need to fork out £59.95 to find out!

If you’re looking for a flashlight with renewable energy, you’ll have plenty of options out there. Firstly there are several different sizes, but then you get to choose between solar, wind-up and shakeable. Well now you get one more choice to pick from. This flashlight is actually powered by water, which would make them highly convenient while you’re out camping.

Not only will this light work just like your average flashlight, but it also can be used as a regular lantern by just making some simple adjustments. It’s probably not going to be as great as the oversized lanterns that many people use. However, this would be better than nothing, especially if you were to put it within an emergency kit of some kind. In order to work it, you just have to fill up the battery with water. It’ll also run on beer, coke and even urine. You can purchase the NoPoPo Water-Powered Flashlight for $54 from the Japan Trend Shop.

Children are always fascinated by are rainbows. Well instead of making them wait for the weather to be just right in order to see one, you could put a rainbow right inside of their bedroom. Don’t worry, it’s not going to cost you a small fortune to do so either. This isn’t one of those children’s gadgets that cost far more than one you’d even buy for yourself.

The rainbow projector comes from Uncle Milton and although this would be great for kids, you should be careful about what age you buy this for them at. It turns out that those under the age of 3 years old should probably be kept away from this. There’s a choking hazard for kids under that age, due to a small marble and other small parts. This projector will project a rainbow across the wall and the ceiling. In order to turn it on, it just requires the wave of your hand. To keep it up and running you can either use batteries or an AC adapter. It’ll cost you $21.10 from Amazon.

The Kunai is an ancient weapon used by ninjas in the past, but this time round it comes in the form of a USB flash drive, although the cloak and dagger tactics employed eons ago are still prevalent in the workplace today, save that they come in a more subtle format. Unfortunately, this model just comes with 2GB of storage space, and it won't be able to stab anyone to death even if you feel like it. GeekStuff4U is carrying the Kunai USB flash drive for approximately $125 after conversion - totally nuts considering the amount of storage space you get back in return.
