The ZipHolder might be made to prevent accidental unzippings, but it has eating pants written all over it. For about $7 you get a little strap that connects between your top button and the zipper that, as you can see from the picture, holds the zipper up regardless of whether the top button is fastened. So, the next time your gorge yourself you can get an extra level of comfort that loosening your belt just does not provide.

Since playing the Nintendo Wii is the most amount of exercise some gamers will every see, why not travel with your beloved gaming console in sport style (some people may argue that bowling is a true sport but I digress). The Game Traveler Brunswick Bag is fully padded and allows for the Nintendo Wii console and A/C cable to be stored in the zippered bottom section. The top portion can carry games, Wii Remote, Nunchuk controller, sensor bar and accessories. When not in use, you can store your bowling ball but since that might be too heavy for some gamers it might make a better shoe bag.

Here’s a bag that is ready to go wherever you are able. The pricey RLX Zip Travel bag is made of tough, dirt and water resistant materials. Constructed from cordura with a special Tizip zipper that is designed to keep water out. Such burly materials seem perfect for backpacks, but Ralph Lauren saw fit to make a travel bag out of them. It looks good, though is a tad expensive.
Price: $235
Don’t worry. The title makes this Zipper Wine Glass sound dirtier than it actually is. The last thing anyone would need on their wine glass is a zipper, which is what makes this glass undeniably cool. Who knows what magical puns can be thrown out as you and your friends sit and drink. “My word, it seems I’ve drank so much I left my fly open.” It’s not perfect but it’s a start. Can you do better?
Another interesting fact. The product site gives us a disclaimer warning that “the paint used on the outside of this product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm”. Only in California it causes defects? Whoa, thank god, I’m safe. That will show them Californians who’s boss.
Price: $99.99 for a set of 4
