CAR
Seahorsepower
This cruiser would impress even James Bond. Made by Gibbs in the UK, the Aquada hits land speeds of up to 100 mph, thanks to its 175-horsepower V-6 engine. If your getaway takes you into the ocean, hit a button on the dash, and in six seconds the wheels fold underneath the three-seater's watertight body. A jet propulsion system keeps the Aquada going at 30 knots (that's 35 mph for you landlubbers). A foolproof mechanism prevents the car from transforming until it's afloat. Don't forget life jackets for anyone who isn't an MI-6 - AAA doesn't do deep-sea rescue.
Aquada: about $250,000, www.aquada.co.im
NECKWARE
Public Display of Affection
Turn your photos into a fashion statement with Nokia's Medallion I unisex choker. Send up to eight 800-Kbit JPEGs to the steel-and-rubber pendant from any PDA, PC, or phonecam that has an infrared transmitter. Images are automatically resized to fit the postage stamp-sized color LCD. A button lets you cycle through the shots - be they of your sweetheart or some sweet art.
Medallion I: $300, www.nokia.com
CLOCK
It's Throwback Time
Before LEDs lit up electronics, Nixie tubes made alphanumerics glow. Now the minibulbs are making a comeback, like in the retro-chic Dodocus. The time is displayed in fiery orange-red neon as determined by a precision crystal oscillator. This vintage clock is rarely remanufactured, so snatch one up before time runs out.
Dodocus High End Clock: $498, www.nixieclock.net
DVD PLAYER
Miniplex
Clamshell personal video players, which can be as cumbersome and expensive as laptops, have never really caught on. Joytech's tablet-style DVD player, however, is compact and affordable. It has an expansive 7-inch LCD with a film-friendly aspect ratio (16:9), built-in speakers, an A/V output jack, and a battery that lasts for 2.5 hours. Watch Spidey shoot his web right in your lap - or use the kickstand on your desk, counter, or tray table.
PlayScreen: $460, www.play.com
