Dealextreme
What's not useful about a 100-pack super mini die set? Or what about a USB Sim Card reader?
Dealextreme is a site for all the things to make your life easier that you didn't even know you needed. For example, if you are tired of holding your mobile to your ear like some sort of square, why not purchase a trendy, old-school receiver that plugs right into your mobile to wow passersby?
That's just a small sample of what is on offer from Dealextreme. Questionably-practical items at an ultra-practical price. Why not bring childhood stories to life with some magic beans (they come in brown and white). You could also exterminate pests with the digital mosquito repeller, which includes an armband, or the bug zapper tennis racket.
Dealextreme also cares about your health and well being. We have all seen the images of diseased arteries adorning cigarette packets. Well Dealextreme have taken it one step further and stock a realist lung replica ashtray, that coughs and screams, to help you kick the habit.
Some may say that the delightful treasures available are strange or useless, but those cynics clearly haven't given their threads the once over with the hand-held electrical clothes shaver. Other joys include the breast-shaped stress ball with nipple, digital buddhist jukebox and MP3 playing Sunglasses. What more could you want really?

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
