Personalised Bobblehead iPhone Holder (Yes, Someone Went There)

Mark Wilson — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:30:00 +0000

What do you get for the Apple lover who has everything? This. You get them this. It’s a personalised bobblehead iPhone holder. The subject sends in three different shots of their face, chooses the skin, hair and eye colour, and through the magic of…well, we don’t know exactly how they’re built…a figure arrives that looks somewhat like someone, somewhere. But there’s more!

While the base bobblehading service runs $US89, you can add on all sorts of extras. $US5 buys you a painted name, or $US15 adds a voice recorder to the mix. Plus, for the extremely narcissistic, a second, identical bobblehead can be ordered for $US50.

In case you’re actually considering it as a gift, give yourself lots of lead time. Orders fulfilled within 15 days cost a premium, so procrastination will make you pay. After all, you just can’t rush art. [Custom Bobble]

Personalise Your Own Flip Mino, But Remember: No One Wants to See Your Butt Cheeks on a Camcorder

Benny Goldman — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:40:00 +0000

Flip Mino, one of the best cheap camcorders money can buy, can now be personalised to your heart’s delight. The new Flip site allows you to choose from hundreds of pre-made designs, upload your own image a la Skinit, or make a one-of-a-kind pattern using their awesomely trippy pattern generator. Better still, you can share your designs with the Flip community, and any camera sold with your image will score you $US10. If you’re the giving kind, you can donate the proceeds to charity as well. But times are tough, and after dropping $US180 on the Mino, your beer money fund looks like a worthy cause. [Flip]

You Too Can Be an Action Figure

You ever wanted to play with yourself? A 12-inch version of yourself? Sure, who doesn’t? For the low, low price of $425, you can get a custom-made action figure that kinda looks something like you! And if you’re at all satisfied with the presentation, you can pay another $39.95 for each additional action figure. Think of it as a giant investment up front that pays off in giving your family the Best Christmas Ever. [HeroBuilders via Uncrate]
