Man Stuff – The Best of Uncrate

2:50AM Jason Chen | This week at Uncrate: We prepare for the holidays with some National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Gear, keep our Steel Reserve cold with a 40 oz Cozy, and pound out some stress on the Everlast Desktop Speed Bag. We also create some mood lighting with the Lutron Maestro IR Dimmer, keep our floors clean and germ-free with the Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum, and keep our wine fresh for days with the Metrokane V1 Vacuum Decanter. Finally, we get organized with the Hookbox, stay dry with Gillette Clinical Strength, and get festive with the green-yet-red Kozik Stalin Bust. More »

Finally, we keep an eye out for buccaneers with the Pirate Scope, stay safe in the wilderness with the Eton Voice Link Radio, and prepare for the fifth season of the best show on TV with the first four seasons of The Wire on DVD.

Man Stuff – The Best of Uncrate

6:01AM Jason Chen | This week at Uncrate: We satisfy our thirst for drunken gaming with The Gamerator, update our holiday decor with the Modern Gingerbread House, and dig our way out with the Snowmaster Snow Scoop. We also crank it up to eleven and turn on some Heavy Metal, choose a new cologne using the Sephora Scent Sampler Set, and “Mutilate” our thirst with some Idiocracy-inspired Brawndo. Finally, we find a gadget even Bond would be jealous of in the Waring Pro Martini Maker, fill it up with some Anheuser-Busch-made Purus Vodka, and wonder at the merging of children’s toy and classic pastime in the Wobble Chess Set.

2:00AM Jason Chen | This week at Uncrate: We get ready for some football with a Gameday Customs Ultimate Tailgate, keep our car interiors tidy with the Hoover GUV Garage Utility Vacuum, and wish that we could replace our rides with the Lamorghini Reventón. We also party like it’s 1945 with the Collector’s Edition Slinky, support our favourite font with the Helvetica Coffee Mug, and relax as we listen to The Shepherd’s Dog by Iron & Wine. Finally, we record our observations in some Field Notes, stay dry using the Davek SOLO Umbrella, and show off our Liu Ping-like skills on the Killerspin Revolution Ping Pong Table. More »

Finally, we survive the urban jungle thanks to the Swisschamp Rosewood Knife, ditch our plain business cards for some stylish Moo MiniCards, and state the obvious with the I’m A Noob T-Shirt. More »
