There may be some tech toys that you wish you'd never heard of, but to compensate, there are some you are so very happy you know about. The Hand Butler is absolutely, utterly, completely the latter.

The device couldn't be easier to use: Plop a snack (or a brewsky) on the inviting hand and point it in the right direction. Your new white-gloved helper will rush across the table and present the snack (or brewsky) to your human friend. The hand is pressure-activated and has a sensor that keeps it from falling off the table's edge.

The Hand Butler is powered by two C batteries (not included), and can be yours for $19.95. For that price, who wouldn't want their very own Thing running around the house?
