Liquids are our favorite things to drink. And puzzles are our favorite things to solve. Combine the two, and you have the perfect way to quench your thirst while satiating your love of puzzles. What could we be talking about? Why the Rubik’s Cube Mug, of course (you know, the thing that’s in all these pictures).

Each Rubik’s Cube Mug comes presolved (and, really, it can’t be messed up, so there). Although it seems difficult to drink out of a cube, the lip is actually curved a bit for your comfort. It’s a mug. It’s a Rubik’s Cube. It’s the Rubik’s Cube Mug! Drink from one of the world’s most beloved puzzles, and show your pride in the Cube that Rubik built.

Just plug the guitar into a computer and choose the “Kurt Cobain” setting on your favourite music software. Almost every sound in rock and pop history that’s caused your ears to prick up, or your eyebrows to raise, has been sampled or digitally reconstructed for our music-making convenience.

Oh, Winter. We really wish you’d go away, but you come back every year. Snowing on us. Wintry mixing on us. So we’re out in the cold, scraping the ice off our cars and of course, our phone rings. Then the following sequence of events happens:

1. Stare at phone.

2. Swipe at screen with gloved hand, out of reflex.

3. Say words Mother doesn’t appreciate.

4. Attempt to hold phone with one hand while removing glove from opposite hand with teeth.

5. Repeat step 3 when the call goes to voicemail because you took too long.

Don’t let your gloves keep you away from your smartphone! Digits are mini conductive pins that convert the gloves you already own and love into smartphone-compatible gloves. They’re made of conductive silicone with a metal pin on the back for attaching to your glove. They’re super easy to install and each set comes with four pins so you can either have four fingers on one set of gloves, or two fingers each on two pairs of gloves.
