These pillows have integrated speakers, so you can connect up an iPod and annoy everyone on the flight with your music, not just the people sitting either side of you. Unfortunately, the graphics that look like they might be covering control buttons, aren’t—you have to change tracks and adjust volume on the iPod itself. If Hammacher add some buttons, and a little pocket for your iPod, then the 2nd gen pillow could really be something cool. They retail for $59.95 and should be available in October. [Hammacher]
The Google News Cushion is a standard couch pillow that’s been printed with the top Google News stories of the year. It’s a microcosm, in plush, pillow form, of the collective human experience on planet Earth. For instance, what news did we search most in 2003?
“You’ve been a very bad boy! Go to your room! Here’s a new toy that will tell you when you’re finished being punished. I hope this teaches you a lesson about talking back to your elders. Wipe that confused look off your face, young man!” [Product Page via Book of Joe]
Finally, pillows to match our pajamas. The $17.99 Spider-Man Speaker Pillow is a simple device. Requiring no batteries, a 3.5mm audio jack is all you need to have the sweet lullabies of Tobey Maguire sing you to sleep. Essentially a headphone speaker shoved in polyester and spandex, we’re not real excited about the audio potential, but to those who may have forgotten—it’s the official pillow of your favorite superhero. Just remember, if you are using the pillow in hopes of developing your own super powers, we’ll make fun of you…but silently fear the day when you strike back.

The reiHuggables may be the nicest light-up pillows we’ve ever seen on the Giz… which admittedly might not be saying much. Using a hidden switch, the reiHuggables will glow for up to 4 hours at a time, after which time their 4 AA batteries (that you supply) can be recharged. The secret to their magical glow are the .5W LEDs, which will stay cool during operation (to your cat’s dismay). For now the reiHuggables are still priceless, but we can’t help but to crave their polyester goodness. Damn I love LEDs. They could stick an LED in a 1998 Dell desktop and I’d post it.

Legend of Zelda stickers and a Halo 3 paint job not getting the message through? Try these Fuzzy Game Boy dice. A Kotaku reader crafted them himself, which means you can’t buy them, but they look easy enough to make for a fun day of crafting and sewing with your kids. And that message you’re putting out there? “Please, nerdy chicks only.” Which isn’t all that bad, when you think about it.

Doggies love to stick their face out the window of a moving car and catch some breeze, but a car window seems like a pretty uncomfortable place for them to rest their chins. How would you like to rest your chin on a car window while it’s going over bumps and uneven terrain? Not very much, I’m guessing. Hence the Outward Hound (groan) Window Dog Chin Rest’s existence. It slides over the edge of an open window, creating a nice cushion for canine chins. It might seem like an extravagance, but in the long run it’s paying attention to details like this that will keep your dog from turning on you and trying to eat your face. I’m just saying. • [Product Page]via [Book of Joe]
This two week project comes with a lightgun, controller, and two game carts, Mario 3 and Duck Hunt. The sewn TV has removable felt screens to switch the game, too. [Sewn by Blythe]
Once proud to have grown up with the NES and slap bracelets, we’re officially jealous of our own children who will get to play with toys like the Twilight Turtle—a stuffed animal that projects the stars onto the ceiling.
Available in green, amber and blue-lit versions, the Twilight Turtle displays a range of the sky including 8 constellations. A timeout feature automatically shuts of the turtle after 45 minutes of use, so the batteries won’t burn out while your little angel/poo machine is sleeping. At $32.99, it could be a small price to ward off the infamous Boogie Man.

Comic Images just released a new line of Star Wars plush dolls, but with really big and ugly noggins. Standing proud at 7 inches, the considerably sized plushies are a cheap $12.99 and so far Yoda and Vader are ready to ship—perfect for those of you who want to unwrap them right away and get down to some Force-powered head butting.
