Here are some items I came across while visiting other blogs. Some good gift ideas for the spatially inclined.

Global Warming Mug – a mug with a map of the world on which the coastlines disappear, mimicking the projected effects of global warming when you add a hot drink to it. Via All Points Blog.

Rubik’s Cube Earth – For those looking for a new challenge to solving a Rubik’s cube (I had to resort to cheating) comes the Rubik’s Cube Earth, available from a Japanese company for about $20USD. Don’t try to solve this while trying to find your way home. Via The Map Room.
