Toy Ideas - Gio Petrucci


1) Scarf that communicates weather conditions and other interesting facts. For the more, adult young person.
2) Earmuffs with musical inclinations. They double as headphones for those cold days.
3) Mirror that can read emotion or lackthereof in a facial expression.
4) Message board for living place with multiple roomates, family members, etc. Comes with everything.
5) What You've Done: drinking game where a car is read and 5 things are listed. If the person being asked has done one of these things, after having heard all 5 things, they must buzz the buzzer. If the person reading the card gets it right, buzzer person drinks a shot. If they are wrong, after only one guess, the guesser must drink.
6) The Will Ferrell Collector's Figure: interchangeable outfits, hairstyles, and microchips to fit your favourite Will Ferrell sayings! Each outfit sold separately.

My partner is Gi0.

1.) Scarf – I think this scarf is a very clever idea. The fact that it has the ability to speak is very user-friendly and interactive. However, cell phones and other devices also carry weather conditions and various sorts of information.
2.) Earmuffs – I like this idea a lot, very practical – warm and plays music. The earmuffs should have buttons on the side that one can push for different types of music. Also, consider being able to upload your own music on them. For one who doesn't like earmuffs, consider also creating a hat.
3.) Mirror – Interesting idea. I think this could be taken a bit further, just not too sure how. People may possibly get easily annoyed with their feelings being displayed in front of them. For instance, an angry man goes to the mirror to fix his hair, and then the mirror tells him he is angry.. next thing you know he punches the mirror. Could get a bit annoying being told how you already know you are feeling..
4.) Message Board – This seems very useful, and a good way to enable extra communication between people living together. But I’m not quite sure if this is necessary. Plus, I think the white board is already quite popular and seems to be the same kind of idea.
5.) Drinking Game – Sounds like fun and a good way to get drunk –fast. Haha, very suitable for anyone our age. Not quite sure about the rules, sounds a little simple, maybe something more complex to confuse the drunks ?
6.) Will Ferrell – Random choice of character, but very amusing. I think this idea could actually take off and become really popular. Perhaps the next fad... I'm just not too sure on how many people are actually that obsessed with Will Ferrell that they would consider buying his collectible.

Good ideas Gi0 ☺

The mirror is really interesting, and could be pulled off with a trip to active surplus to pick up some two-way glass, a motion sensor and some LED's. Or maybe it could take on a personal character - could it ask you a question every you walk by?
