I ran across Fred’s site today and it stood out for it’s clever simplicity. As a designer at heart, I appreciate things that are well designed and more often than not, less is more. Check out the website “Worldwide Fred”. They have some of the coolest little gadgets I’ve ever seen. Below are a few of my favorites from their site.
SHAPE UP!â„¢ wake up with a workout
This dumbbell-style alarm wants to start your day off right! Just set the alarm and in the morning it will buzz until you’ve done 30 reps. Annoying? Maybe. Effective? Unquestionably! Shape Up! is the perfect gift for sleepy-heads. Individual recyclable clear boxes.
TOASTED NOTESâ„¢ the hot buttered desk accessory!
This piping hot slice of toast is pretty hard to miss on your desktop, so you’ll always be able to put your fingers on a buttery little self-stick note when you need one. Old Fred really wanted to call it “toast-it notes†but he just doesn’t want to deal with another lawyer. Whatever happened to America’s sense of humor? Toasted Notes comes with 5 handy pads in each peggable clamshell.
SALT & PEEPERâ„¢ a bird in the hand
This little peeper just wants to please. Turn his head to the right — his eyes change from blue to white and his beak dispenses salt; turn it left — his eyes turn black and of course his beak pours the pepper. Peggable recyclable clear boxes.
You can find out where to purchase these items and more on their site. There’s a ton more that is worth checking out. Design Brilliance at it’s finest.
