My job is to find cool stuff. Throughout the week I spend hours scouring the web for things that are useful or fun or ridiculously cheap. Often times, these choices coalesce into a guide of like items—for example, Apple Watch accessories that are worth your time, nine products to give your kitchen some smarts, or items to elevate your binge watching. But I often stumble across some pretty awesome gear that doesn’t really fit into a list. So I made a list for those.

A football drinking game

A good thing about your team not being in the Super Bowl is that you have more attention to give things like drinking games. This one is fairly elaborate, with a football field, ball launcher, and six shot glasses. Launch the ball between the goal post to score points. Drink. A good time will be had by all. $20.

An LED football

If all those chicken wings and Coors Lights have you itching for some activity, take into consideration a game of nighttime football. This GlowCity regulation-size ball has an impact-activated LED inside it. After touching the ball, the light stays on for 30 seconds. The ball is powered by three LR44 button cell batteries, which are not included. $25.

Football shaped ice

ROX

Two things really liven up a party: blasting Hey-Ya! and novelty ice cubes. The ROX ice cube tray makes two frozen footballs that measure more than 3″ x 2″. You can do your very own touchdown dance every time you spike a cube into your lukewarm bev. $10.

Football cookie cutters

Impress your friends and family with homemade helmet, football, and jersey-shaped cookies. The cutters are made of tin-plated steel. $9.
