Woot This Week

by Kathleen Richards

Welcome to Woot This Week, where every week we count down five of the coolest/weirdest/craziest items currently for sale on Woot!

And now, without further ado, the top five cool things I found on Woot this week:

1. Makey Makey Classic Invention Kit Collectors Gift Box Edition, $37.99

When I was a kid I asked my dad for a Barbie Dreamhouse and he told me I should make my own out of cardboard. And now kids these days have to make their own video games if they want to play them! I don't know if that makes them better or worse off than me. I guess better because even though they have to make their own video games, they could parlay those video-game-making skills into a career where they will earn enough money to buy their own Barbie Dreamhouses. I, on the other hand, still have no Barbie Dreamhouse, even though I am an adult :(

2. Whiteboards, $49.99-$69.99

Whiteboards are great, but traditional whiteboards just weren't fun enough. Luckily these whiteboards have cool stuff printed on them so you won't be so bored while you're talking notes on the wall. Use the map one to plan your world domination and the Rx pad one to...I don't know...play a prank on a pharmacist?

3. mojoSketch Mate 12" LCD Writing and Drawing Tablet, $34.99

Use this to write out your nightly dinner specials just like your house is an old-timey diner. Or draw crude pictures on it and giggle when they light up.

4. Pyle PCJD18 Wooden Cajon Percussion Box, $62.99

Have you ever wished you had a box just for banging on? Or maybe you do have a box just for banging on, but you need a better, louder box. We've got your louder, better box for banging on, right here.

5. Star Wars Plates and Cups, $14.99-$19.99

These Star Wars plates and cups made it all the way to the top of the list because they're so super cool but also so super stylish. If you'd like to replace all your dining ware with novelty sci-fi themed plates and cups, this is definitely the classiest, most adult way to do it.

And that's my top five for this week! Have you found anything weird and cool on Woot this week? Then share it in the comments, silly! These crazy deals aren't going to find themselves, that's for sure!
