The desire to add a geeky touch to your baby is every nerdy mom’s effort. After the uber-cute R2D2 Toddler costume, here is another sweet pair of diapers that can make your baby’s butt look like a gamer’s plea. The Pocket Cloth Diaper and Microfiber Insert diapers are fun slip on diapers that feature various cool designs like Mario Bros, Star Trek, Kirby, Doctor Who and many more. The Pocket Protector’s design makes cloth diapering as easy as disposables for those reluctant family members or daycares. Just pop the diaper on and off like a disposable and remove the insert before dropping it into your wet bag or bin. Also, pocket diapers are trimmer and don’t require any special washing techniques like wool covers do.

There is nothing more comfortable than snuggling up with your kitten on a cold winter’s evening, no nap more peaceful. Cat lovers know what I’m talking about. Not a fan of cats?

Really, what’s better than taking a nap with the world’s cuddliest feline, everyone’s favorite Hello Kitty! The full length onesie, for adults, looks too comfy to be true. It is made up of fleecelike polyester fabric that is light, breathable, oh so cozy. Of course, it is baby pink in color, and comes with a polka-dot lined white cat hood with a “Hello-Kitty” pink bow, tonal stripes on the arms, and a hip pocket featuring Kitty’s face and “I Heart KT” embroidered on it. It even has a little cat-tail on the back. Adorable! Afternoon movie watching marathons on rainy days will never be the same.

Wearing our hearts on our sleeves isn’t always the best idea but wearing your heart in your t-shirt is novel and niche. The GIF t-shirt reads the wearer’s heartbeat and displays it on their clothing as pulses of light. How does it help? Try walking in a bar full of gorgeous mean or woman and see your t-shirt flashing or even when you exercise. This t-shirt displays your heartbeat by reading one’s EKG and produce flashes of light in time with the person’s own heart.

Size matters and how! Ask Karl Lagerfeld who made the point in this years Paris Fashion Week’s exquisite Chanel show where everything screamed big. Of everything oversized and impactful the one style that stood out very prominently was the giant hula hoop bags intended for use as a beach bag. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that this big beauty could pass off as the worlds biggest bag. I’m pretty sure the trend will catch on like wild fire as we girls never have enough space in our bags and this pretty much takes care of everything.

We have all had those days when we have felt all alone in the world, like your only friends were the virtual ones on your Facebook “friends” list. On these days, what wouldn’t you give for a warm hug from a caring friend. Alas! If only there was a way to convert your virtual friends into real ones. The closest we can get to achieving this is with the awesome Like-A-Hug vest. Created by Melissa Chow, Andy Payne and Phil Seaton from MIT, this inventive vest takes the idea of technological fashion to the next level. This inflatable vest will be connected to your Facebook account. Whenever someone “Likes” a photo, video or status update, the vest inflates inwards, which basically feels like getting a big ol’ hug! Best of all, you can even “hug” back by squeezing and deflating the vest.

The most amazing and unique pair of shoes we have seen in the longest time are these uber cool pair of molded t-rex high heels. Unlike other theme heels, the dinosaur isn’t merely painted on to the shoe — rather, the dinosaur is the shoe! They give the illusion that the dinosaur is walking in the opposite direction you are.

How much can a woman do in a day? Household chores, official work, kids and family, constantly trying to keep up with trends and after all this is tackled we are expected to keep our phones charged too. Thank god for Everpurse, an inconspicuous handbag insert that doubles as a docking station for an iPhone or Android smartphone. Isn’t that the best thing ever? Besides filling up the tank on the Everpurse itself is easy just place it on the included charging mat and you’re sorted.

Bored of dressing up like Dr. Frankenstein every Halloween? Here is a spooky costume for you. The Bloody Cutout Corset from Hottopic is a plain white corset with a zombie twist. The top has flesh and bone exposed on the front of the abdomen, with blood drips and splatters finishing the effect. Scaling throughout is the adjustable back busking.

For anyone who fell in love with Seiko Star Wars Collection and bought the stunner home there is something incredibly cool to complement your I-love-Star-Wars-to-death-look. Check out this too cool for school Dark Vader Bow Tie. I couldn’t imagine Mr. Vader sporting anything else if he were invited to a formal bow tie event. The bow tie is made out of shiny, pitch black ABS plastic.

Stack away your totes and classy hand bags this Halloween, and say Hello to the Brain Purse.

This purse will help you to stay in character with a handbag that will enhance your disguise. The compartment is large enough to carry around your ID, cards, lip balm, money, and other small personal belongings.

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when I say Harry Potter? His signature glasses of course. I doubt if anyone except Harry’s clone could carry off these glasses like he did but that doesn’t stop them from being a favorite. How about owning a pair of Harry Potter glasses but not looking absolutely nerdy by sporting them? The Harry Potter ring design solves everything. It’s the coolest manifestation of the glasses and you really don’t have to wear them the conventional way.

With Halloween just around the corner, you are probably hard at work looking for the perfect costume. All you pregnant ladies out there, you are probably having a tough time finding something perfect. The round Pumpkin that hides your baby bump is so overdone. Instead, consider these awesome Pregnant Skeleton Iron-On Patches. Why should your little baby be left out of all the fun? It features a skeletal structure (rib-cage and all) with a little baby skeleton positioned just where your baby bump will be. What a cute and whimsical way to tell people that you have a ‘baby on board’. This ensures that you have a fun and playful costume – and best of all, you get to be uber comfortable in your own T-shirt all night long. To apply the patch, all you have to do is iron it on a maternity T-shirt of your own. Detailed instructions are included with the patch.

Fans of the British science fiction classic, Doctor Who, are well aware of the Daleks and their dastardly plans to destroy the world. For the uninitiated, the Daleks are an extraterrestrial race of mutants bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse. If this is something you identify with (there are some days when I definitely want to destroy all humankind), then you will love the Felt Dalek Purse by Etsy seller Krukru Studio. The purse is designed to look exactly like a Dalek, with excruciating detail. The lovingly handcrafted bag is made from smooth felt. It may be an odd shape – long and thin isn’t exactly traditionally pursey – but we are willing to forgive the shape for the awesome “Who-ness” of it all. It comes with a top closing zipper, and also an inner zipper pocket with lining.
