FIVE UNNECESSARY [BUT COOL AND MUST HAVE AWESOME] GADEGTS

There's no crying need for any of these gadgets--that doesn't make them uncool.

Some people have more money than good sense, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in our books. Think about that time your wealthy uncle said he'd invest in your unique *cough* business idea, but a new Porsche and three new Gucci suits later, you're still doing the same ol’ thing (now in style, granted).

People need to be entertained, and people need to spend (even if the two don’t always share a harmonious relationship). Bearing that in mind, GQ proudly presents a selection of unique gadgets for the man who already has everything, so he's going to go out and buy something ridiculous.

Elite Gold iPhone 4S

Costing an eye-watering £6 million, this gem has more diamonds and gold on it than Maharani Gayatri Devi has in her lockers. Designed by Stuart Hughes, only two Elite Gold iPhone 4S' exist in the world today, for obvious reasons. The phone boasts of a solid platinum and polished pieces of original dinosaur bone....don't bother asking why.

WiFi Umbrella

Those crazy monsoon moments only look good in the movies, but instead of constantly checking for weather updates on your Elite Gold iPhone 4S, let your umbrella do that for you. Materious’ interactive umbrella, called (rather aptly) Forecast, uses WiFi to get the latest updates on the weather and then glows to alert you when it is expected to rain. It’s not available for mass order yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Till then, we’ll just have to rely on the terribly difficult and inconvenient old-fashioned way of predicting rain by sticking our head out the window and looking up.

UE Personal Reference Monitors

Billed as the world’s first personally tuned custom in-ear monitor, Logitech’s new UE Personal Reference Monitors (we’re talking about a pair of headphones here) are the bomb. They have to be, with their price tag of $1,999. The big draw is their customised moulded shell that’ll fit your hobbit ears perfectly. When you place an order, you’ll have a dedicated ‘personal service specialist’ assigned to guide you through the process of fitting, designing and tuning them. Your Justin Bieber collection will never sound better.

Digital Dice+

Traditional dice are so boring – 6 sides with dots on them (yawn), so it was only a matter of time before someone somewhere decided to jazz it up for the Twenty-first century. Say hello to Dice+, the world's first electronic dice. Amongst their many highlights, Dice+ change colors as they are thrown around, with interactive numbers popping up only after they stop moving. The product is scheduled to be available for sale next year and you can be sure it won't cost anything lower than Rs 300, which about what we pay for perfectly serviceable die whenever we're in the mood for some craps (which is almost never, except when in Vegas).

USB fridge/warmer

Ever sat at your desk and wondered why you couldn’t just bring the fridge to you? Well, your prayers have been answered. There’s actually a USB-powered device, now available through USBGeek.com, that will keep your drink either chilled or warmed in a mini-fridge of sorts for only $40 because, heaven forbid, you actually get off your rear end to do anything these days.
