It drives on the ceiling.

You know, random nonsense from places like Sharper Image have really come a long way. (Is Sharper Image still a place, even? It used to be a place. You could go there.)

Where once an oddball gadget impulse purchase would have meant a handheld neck massager or a singing plastic fish, today it can get you a gravity rover that can literally drive around on your ceiling. Seriously? That’s amazing. A couple of decades ago one of these would have been as mind-blowing as an aggressively ticklish Elmo doll (give or take) and now you can grab one on a daily deal for $19.99? Outrageous.

Anyway, if you haven’t pieced together how this thing works based on the picture, it’s basically part drone and part remote-controlled car. Except instead of using its drone propellers to ineffectually fly around like most drone and drone-adjacent toys, this just uses them to create enough suction for the rover to stick up against the walls or ceiling or whatever other unlikely surface you can come up with.

Oh, and it’ll drive around on the floor, too.

It’s pretty great.

Just grab one. They’re fun. They’re great stocking stuffers (yes we broke the pre-Halloween Christmas promo embargo) and equally great just for giving something unexpected to the sort of person who would appreciate such a thing.

Gravity rover!
