Enjoy drinking tea but find yourself oversteeping your tea bags too often (that’s me)? Brew the perfect cup of tea each time with the Penguin Teaboy (via Boing Boing). It’s cute and a great item for office life. How does it work? You slip the teabag over it’s beak, set the timer, and it lowers its beak for the set amount of time. Great gift idea. Price: on sale now for $18.98 at Signals (regularly $29.95).

Bet you probably didn’t guess that it’s a vacuum cleaner. Yep, it’s a riding vacuum for children. It doesn’t actually exist (at least, not yet). It was designed by Kristina Anderson as her thesis project.

I think it’s a great, innovative idea. I’m not too sure how well it would fit into tight corners around the house, but it looks like the design also includes a hose attachment. What a great way to get the kids involved and make chores a bit more enjoyable. I’d love to see it being sold in stores one day.
