These Mini Lighter Cufflinks were available on Etsy before the internet took over and sold out every last pair. Will they be back? Who knows, but lord, these things are awesome.
They’re cufflinks which are actual lighters, meaning you can light up a smoke without even reaching into your pocket. I wouldn’t recommend these if you go a little heavy on the cologne. That could end pretty messy and likely extra crispy.
I was just looking through Etsy user Edmdesigns’ store, and I must say – she does fine work. If you’re into the steampunk stuff we cover, like that spectacular ergonomic keyboard and non-functional headset, then you’ll go ape shit for some of the designs she’s come up with.
From steampunk cufflinks to steampunk bow ties, this store has 217 items for sale and all of them are creative DIY pieces you can wear or pretend you made. Whatever works best at cocktail parties.

While not as tasty as Apple pie or a Mac Pro, these cufflinks are sufficient enough to pick up even the dorkiest of women. Designed by Etsy user Beaujangles (what a great semi-racist pun!), these go for $50 a set. While you might find that expensive, consider what a good pair of cufflinks would cost you from Nordstrom or a similar store. Plus, this way you get to help out the DIY community and you get a pair of cufflinks that’s unrivaled in unique quality. Hurry up and get a pair before Jobs sues the living shit out of this dude.
Found on Flickr user Jmarler’s page, these EEPROM cufflinks are extremely beautiful. Soldered in place forever, these won’t be good for powering your Arduino but they could get your laid with a hot mom…
When you invent a time machine in the year 2094 and travel back to the year 1990, the first thing you’ll want to do is attend the premiere of the Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissorhands. You’ll be able to catch a pre-Pirates Depp and Winona Ryder right as she was turning into a hottie. But more importantly, you’ll be able to wear these out in style.
Designed by Georgo Phillip Pecenikov, these cufflinks are articulated scissors that don’t just sit still and look pretty, they actually open and close. Silver cufflinks plated in rhodium that are shaped like a bent pair of scissors don’t come cheap though. $550 or your soul.
