Flying Hovercraft

Rise Above It

So you’re boating around the Jersey shore and come across an old fishing net full of guido debris: a gym bag, some lube, and a broken tanning bed. Without time to go around it, you’re forced to charge through it. In the Flying Hovercraft ($190,000) from Hammacher Schlemmer, you could simply fly over it and reduce the risk of catching an STD. The bright yellow amphibious and airborne vehicle features a 130 horsepower twin-cylinder, liquid cooled engine and can hit speeds of up to 70 miles an hour. The craft can take to the air in short bursts and reach heights of fifty feet above the water, sand, mud, grass, swamp, or snow. Capable of traveling 160 miles on one tank, the flying hovercraft can accommodate up to three passengers with a combined weight of no more than 600 pounds. So you’ll want to leave Snooki on shore.

Cocoon Fires

Turn Up the Heat

There’s nothing like sitting by an open fire to set the mood. Unfortunately, your apartment didn’t come with a fireplace, and last time you invited a girl over to huddle around your two burner stove she feigned a tummy ache and left early. If you’re going to keep your game (without moving) you’ve got to install a Cocoon Fire ($3,900). The contemporary fireplaces are made of stainless steel, and can be installed in any room of your house (we see tub-side in your future). They run on ethanol and are smoke-free, making them clean and environmentally friendly. The burner inside takes up to 2 liters of fuel and produces fire for up to six hours. That’s more than enough time to get your game on and then some.
