We just got this in over at ShopPeep, and it’s just so damned delicious gorgeous, I had to share.

It also boasts branches made of the heaviest-duty 18-gauge wire, to support even the most mega ornaments with ease.

Pre lit with a dazzling array of high quality LED lights that last 25,000 hours (8x longer than most) while requiring 98% less power, and starring patented technology that keeps the light chain lit should a bulb break, the World’s Best Prelit Noble Fir LED Christmas Tree is available now – new and exclusive – to Hammacher Schlemmer, in a myriad of heights, widths and lighting options ranging from $279.95 to $2,400.

Non-iron to the extreme…

Don’t know ’bout you, but up until this very moment I had yet to find a tie that even remotely reflected my personality. Well, maybe solid black. Anyways, thanks to this brand new, yet well-seasoned neckwear called the Wood Tie, you can now branch out beyond canary yellow and polka dots to proudly and unequivocally display your love of timber, your eco-enthusiasm, or your very down-to-earth nature…even when deep inside the corporate jungle.

Hand-made in the USA using reclaimed redwood beams from old barns, each Wood Tie naturally features its very own unique grain pattern and color variations. Also, due to the tie’s segmented design (comprising 11 neatly cut pieces on an elastic cord), the Wood Tie is lightweight and flexible and conforms to your body shape like cloth.

Sanded smooth for splinter-free wear and varnished for rain and coffee protection, the Wood Tie never needs washing, drying, ironing or tying and is available from Vat19 for $33.99. Sartorially extraordinary! Or as the eleventh Doctor would say…bow wood ties are COOL!

You already spend most of your time with your iPhone, iPod, or iPad in your hands — the rest of the day it’s replaced by the three or four different remotes needed to control your TV, stereo system, DVD / Blu-ray player.

But what if your iOS device could take control of ALL your home entertainment? You and your iPhone would never be apart from each other!

Well, if you want to nurture your unhealthy relationship with your iPhone bring all your remotes together into one device, the Griffin Beacon Universal iPhone Remote Control System makes it easy.

The Beacon is a standalone device that features a low-profile design to blend in with any decor, and connects to your iOS device via Bluetooth — allowing you to control your TV, stereo, DVD player, and other home entertainment components from your pocket.

Just download and install the FREE Dijit Universal Remote App and the Beacon will act as a bridge, receiving Bluetooth signals from your iOS device and sending IR signals to your home entertainment center without the need of bulky cases, dongles, or wires.

The Dijit app uses a library of device codes that are constantly updated to simplify setup for your TV, stereo system, media players and more. And just in case your component isn’t in the Dijit library, you can use the integrated learning feature to gain control over that specific device.

The Griffin Beacon Universal iPhone Remote Control System can run for up to two months with 4 x AA batteries and it’s available now at Griffin Technology for $79.99.

How many times have you spilled your coffee near a power strip, or worried how hot your extension cords get when you plug in too many appliances? If you’re concerned about these and other potential electrical hazards (such as little fingers and forks), you should take a close look at the Wet Circuit Water Resistant Power Strip.

This power strip is the safest, and most durable on the market, featuring a patented design and a special protective material that minimizes the flow of electricity in case it gets wet. In other words, it’s completely water resistant.

The Wet Circuit Water Resistant Power Strip is also child and pet safe, and since electrical power will only be conducted when a plug is inserted 100% into the outlet — tongues, wet fingers, and metal objects are now safe.

In addition to the fuse, the Wet Circuit also features overheat protection, discontinuing the flow of electric power if the product reaches 221F-239F — preventing any potential fires caused by overloading.

Powering through 20,000 plug/unplugs (4x more than regular power strips for around 18 years of use), the Wet Circuit Water Resistant Power Strip will keep your electronics running without having to worry about the safety issues, and it’s available now at ThinkGeek for $69.99.
