ghetto blaster

Here's why I like this silver Ghetto Blaster Watch: it's useful. Not only does it represent a moment from my youth (double decks! Holler!), but it also tells me the time. Accessories that can do more than one thing — in this case, look cool and keep me on top of the passing hours — always get a positive nod from me. But to every high there is a low, and here's why I don't like this silver Ghetto Blaster watch: the price. It's $234! Way too rich for my blood, but still totally crave-worthy, especially if you've got a retro mixtape jewelry collection already started.

It's pretty hard not to love a baby onesie — especially when there are so many irresistible geek designs to choose from. Well, if you've got a little one in your life that you love buying onesies for, this trio gift pack of Punk Rock Retro Onesies ($36) is as hip as they get. Within one gift box, you'll get a lime onesie with a ghetto blaster, a white one with headphones, and a black one with Space Invaders on the front. Sizes range from 3 to 18 months.

Everyone needs to eat, so why not cover up that vintage hand-me-down table you have shoved in your dining room with some geeky placemats like the ones I found on Holy Cool?

For about $16 dollars for a pack of six (plus tax and shipping of course), you can get your own set of record player, cassette, or old-school ghetto blaster placemats and stay totally entertained during dinner. Unfortunately, they don't actually function as working gadgets, so you'll just have to pretend and break your mom's rule of no singing at the table.
