Dynamism Launches Gizmine, for Stylish Gadgets from Japan

Looking for something sleek and cool and design-y that can pretty much guarantee you won't find anywhere else? (That is, unless you feel like schlepping all the way to Tokyo, and then schlepping all the way back with a heavy paper shredder.) If that sounds like you, discerning gift-giver, then you'll want to head straight over the the just-launched Gizmine, an online boutique run by the same folks who brought us online Japanese-gadget--emporium Dynamism.

This is the place to come for said Red-Dot-Award-for-Good-Design-winning paper shredder, the latest curvy designs by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa (new alarm clocks, subtle calculators, distinct watches), as well as hot red leather backpacks by venerable Tokyo luggage-maker Isaburo. You'll find everything from iPod accessories and headphones to robots and video games.

Whereas Dynamism is the place to get the latest cell phone or laptop from Japan or Europe -- a gadget nerd's favorite gift, by the way -- Gizmine caters to a more aesthetically-minded gadget lover, said CEO Douglas Krone when he called us to preview the site earlier today.

As is the case on Dyamism, if you want something, but can't find it on the site, you can probably ask the folks at Gizmine to order it for you.

We're just psyched we won't have to schlep stuff like that humidifier from retro-chic gadget label Amadana in our return-from-Tokyo luggage anymore, since it looks like we can now get home delivery of this kind of gear. [From: Gizmine]
