Designed by Barcelona’s Labyrinth Studio, the stackable Palette Coasters are exact (right down to the stickers on the front) 1/10th miniatures of standard Euro palettes. Design Boom is selling them for $36 per set of five.
The Graffiti Cocktail Shaker is another one of those noteworthy products we stumbled upon at New York Gift Fair, which I totally forgot about until coming across it again online yesterday. It’s being produced (or maybe just distributed) by Kikkerland. No information is available on their website, but it’s up for pre-order ($20) over on Unica, with a late-March ship date. -Quincy Eau De Play-Doh

Our friends at Mimoco are at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas this week, where they have just announced an exciting collaboration licensing deal with DC Comics. Mimoco’s “designer” flash drive line Mimobots has previously been decorated with Star Wars and Hello Kitty Characters, and now it will lend its frame to the iconic superheroes & villains of the DC universe. First up is a run of five Batman Mimobots, including the limited-edition (5,000 pieces) vintage 1939-style Dark Knight shown above, which is the only one currently available to purchase [$19.95-$54.95]. The Joker, Robin, Catwoman and another Batman version (last three after the jump) round out the series, and will be released in February, presumably at Toy Fair in New York. They’ve also promised to expand this line in the near future with Green Lantern, The Flash and Superman Mimobots. Congrats to Evan & the Mimoco crew for this stellar release! $100 Wallet – New in the Store on Jailbreakcollective.com

With the Hundred Dollar Wallet, it’s what’s on the outside that counts. If you’ve always felt like a rockstar but have never quite gotten the treatment you deserve, the Hundred Dollar Wallet is the answer to your problems. Just pull it out of your pocket and watch as people line up to offer to carry your luggage, seat you at the best table in the house, or tilt your coffee cup to your lips when you’re ready for a sip. Before buying the Hundred Dollar Wallet, you must ask yourself this one simple question: Are you the kind of guy who carries a boring old leather wallet or are you a jetsetting international playboy who parties with supermodels on his yacht every summer in the Greek islands? $100 Wallet for only $12.99?! That’s like free money…
