These two badges definitely belong in a pair. We've all got a dark side and then we also have days when we're really nice too.
These two badges are the Yin and Yang of the Old School Badge world. Both designed to look like those school shields you got for being milk monitor or just really good at shinning up ropes, these badges are coloured white and black with Saint and Sinner printed across. Just pick the one that suits your mood!

Saint and Sinner Badges
Chocomatic Chocolate Clock
The first thing that strikes you is that it's pink. It's really, really pink. I'm not a bubblegum and Barbie kind of a person but I still found myself warming to the Chocolate Clock. I think what won me over was the little chocolate that popped out of the doors beneath the clock face every hour.
Granted, you do have to put the chocolates in the clock in the first place, but I love the fact that I'll be getting on with other things when suddenly I'll hear 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' playing in the background and a little chocolate appears.

Fashion Citation Pad
We all know someone who believes that their contribution to society is ensuring taste and style rule unchallenged and sartorial elegance is achieved wherever possible. This generally takes the form of a scathing critique of the outfit of anyone within range with special lists compiled of particularly bad fashion crimes.
To make life easier for these critical individuals, why not present them with a Fashion Citation Pad? This allows them to easily tick off truly awful fashion infringements and present the completed form to the hapless criminal. As the pad says It's Better That You Know.
Ranging from the fairly harmless: Excessive Denim to the truly damning: Camel Toe or Inappropriate Bulge(s) the pad is guaranteed to maximise chagrin on the part of the fashion criminal while requiring minimal effort on behalf of the fashion police. Keep up the good work girls.

Genius Badge
Think you're clever eh? Tell the world!
It's the perfect badge for those gifted types out there. You know, the ones that are going to discover the replacement to String Theory, find a more elegant solution to Fermat's Last Theorem and are currently building a nuclear reactor in the garden shed. They may be socially challenged but that doesn't matter because they're really, really smart.
Consolation for a lack of a social life, or just a pure statement of fact? Every genius should have one.

Litecup - Nightlight and Non-Spill Beaker
I surely can't be alone in waking up in the night feeling thirsty, taking the glass of water from my bedside cabinet and then in my sleepy state pouring about half of it down my neck. Of course then I'm wide awake with a soggy pillow and not much water left.
So naturally I'm rather impressed with the idea of the LiteCup. It has a nifty and ingenious drinking valve so no water will flow until you suck at the lip of the cup. This prevents those unfortunate Tsunami moments when you misjudge the pouring angle.
Not only that, but the incredibly smart base of the cup emits a gentle glow when switched on, so you've got a nightlight to prevent you kneecapping yourself on the furniture when you get up to use the loo in the night. Can you tell that night time is something of a mini-disaster-ridden adventure for me at times?
The nightlight bit is light intensity sensitive, so it'll only come on in the dark and will last up to 3 months in regular use. To make the whole thing more practical the light base detatches so the rest of the beaker can just go straight in the dishwasher.
It's the ideal solution for anyone who's all thumbs until that second cup of coffee in the mornings!
The LiteCup - £5.99 from ShinyShack.com
Monkey Peeler
Nobody really enjoys peeling veg, so here's a cheerful little chap who'll take the boredom out of the job and brighten up your kitchen while he's at it.
With a twinkle in his eye, the Monkey Peeler will take the skins off a variety of veg and fruit including apples, carrots and potatoes, without peeling away all the goodness like a knife can.
The Monkey Peeler has a comfy handle and a swivel blade, so he's very quick and easy to use.
Just make sure you keep him away from the bananas...
Monkey Peeler - £4.99 from ShinyShack
iSwim iPod Case
If you can't bear to be without your iPod, even in the bath, then the iSwim iPod Case is going to make you smile.
The iSwim iPod Case protects your mp3 player from both sand and water, and if you drop your iPod into water while it's wearing the case it'll float harmlessly on the surface.
With the iSwim iPod Case you'll truly be able to have music wherever you go, so watery activities like swimming and sailing will never again have to be music-free.
The iSwim iPod Case comes with a variety of accessories and is a suitable size and shape to make it work just as well with other brands of mp3 player of a similar size.
iSwim iPod Case - £12.99 from ShinyShack
Apology Notepad
"Love is... never having to say you're sorry." But for those occasions when an apology really can't be avoided, there's the Apology Notepad.
The Apology Notepad contains fifty pre-printed sheets giving a range of reasons (or 'excuses', depending on how you look at it) for your behaviour. These include:
- I was drunk
- I hate you
- Mercury was in retrograde
- It seemed like a good idea
We can't guarantee that an apology from the Apology Notepad will get you forgiven, but it'll raise a smile - and once you get one of those, you're halfway there.
Apology Notepad - £3.99 from ShinyShack
RetroBoard
Keyboards are traditionally not the most fun things in the world. Conventionally boring beige or black, they hardly add much to your desk and once you've dropped some sandwich crumbs and half a cup of coffee on them, they're really not an attractive prospect.
Cool, brightly coloured and bendy with it this RetroBoard doesn't just brighten things up, but it's wipe clean too! Made from silicone, the RetroBoard is bendy and easy to clean. It's smaller than a standard keyboard so it's perfect for portable purposes and carrying around to LAN parties.
Definitely a good addition to any desktop.
RetroBoard - £19.99 from ShinyShack.com
