Now fans of the Atari classic Space Invaders can wax nostalgic over ice — yes, ice — thanks to Ice Invaders. This flexible silicone tray makes 18 alien-shaped ice cubes at a time. Even if you’re not a fan of video games, it’d still be kind of awesome to have these little characters cooling off your favorite beverage. Plus, the tray is oven-safe and dishwasher safe, so for only $7.99 you can make all kinds of sci-fi themed treats.

Sure, it’s still March and the snow’s barely started to melt in some places, but you’re probably already thinking about spring cleaning. And once your brain gets started down that road, it’s easy to start anticipating balmy summer days. If you just can’t wait to get a start on your warm-weather decorating, IKEA’s introduced a line of solar-powered lighting options to prettify your patio or garden. The SOLIG series includes stake light chains (left, $19.99), uplight chains ($14.99), hanging lamps ($19.99) and lighting posts ($9.99). All SOLIG solar-powered products come with auto mode and an on-off switch. Even the SOLIG battery-operated lighting is greener than most; it uses LED technology, which is more energy-efficient and longer-lasting that traditional lighting.

Maybe you’re tired of shelling out all that money for tiny bags of microwaveable corn. Maybe you’re looking for a healthy snack without all the oil of regular microwave popcorn. Maybe you like special seasoning in your microwave popcorn. Or maybe you want to control the quality and origin of the corn going into your favorite movie night snack. Whatever your reason, the Nordic Ware Microwave Corn Popper delivers. This simple lidded container holds 12 cups, can be used with or without oil, and is also safe for the dishwasher and freezer. The Nordic Ware Corn Popper is only $8.99 at Amazon.com.

In the market for more serious skin care, but not able to make it to a spa? There are quite a few tools available for those seeking more intensive at-home treatments for their skin. More and more gadgets are coming on the market that use electricity, LED light, and even lasers to treat conditions like acne, wrinkles and dark spots. Tanda Skin Care (above) is available in the U.S. through doctors or retailers like Sephora.com. Their Clear Acne Treatment Kit, which includes a special cleanser and anti-blemish gel, is $250, while the Regenerate Anti-Aging Starter Kit sells for $275.

If it’s hair removal you’re looking for, there’s the $250 no!no! hair removal system (left). And if you’re really serious about getting rid of unwanted hair, a company called Tria will deliver “a hair-free existence” for $795. It’s not exactly cheap, but compared to similar spa treatments that cost thousands of dollars, it is something of a bargain.

That classic 80s time-waster, the Rubik’s Cube, is back. Actually, it never went anywhere but this version of the 3-D puzzle has been re-imagined for a new generation. The Rubik’s TouchCube, developed by toymaker Techno Source, responds to a simple touch of your fingers rather instead of requiring you to turn parts of the cube. (Kind of like when the Wheel of Fortune set got revamped.) If that upgrade isn’t good enough for you, the new cube also gives out hints if you’re really stumped. The TouchCube is expected to cost about $150 when it hits stores this fall. Hey, this time around, you might actually solve this thing.

You really shouldn’t be eating and drinking around your computer, but chances are you do it anyway. And when crumbs and spills get all over your keyboard and mouse, you probably break out your trusty can of compressed air and freeze your fingertips off, only to find out you’ve only gotten rid of half of the crumbs and none of the other collected gunk.

Enter Seal Shield and the Meditech Magic Keyboard. Yes, magic. While it won’t perform coin tricks or anything, this wireless keyboard is washable and fully submersible. That’s right, people. It goes right in your dishwasher, and you don’t even have to remove the batteries first. (Seal Shield also makes a washable mouse, in case you’re interested.)

Both keyboard ($41.90) and mouse ($34.25) are available through Amazon.com.

The Wovel is deceptively simple. Sure, it may just look like a wheeled snow shovel (hence the name), but it’s a pretty ingenious contraption. The Wovel basically operates like a seesaw, using your own weight to lift the snow without putting extra strain on your body. No more breaking your back to clear your sidewalks in the winter, plus you get done in a third of the time. (You can see short movies of the Wovel in action, as well as the physics of how the Wovel operates, here.)

Maybe you’re wondering, Why not just use a snow blower? In addition to being ergonomic and heart-healthy, the Wovel eliminates both gas-powered emissions and noise pollution. It also eliminates the risk of finger injury or amputation, which happens more than you’d think when people try to clear a jammed snow blower.

The Wovel is regularly $119.95, now on sale for $77.97. You might want to get yourself one before the next snow storm hits.
