Read MoreTwuffer – the Twitter buffer
Twuffer. Like there’s not enough tweeting to go round, now you can store them up and deliver them at predetermined times and dates in the future. That’s right, why not input a bunch of tweets telling the world what you’re going to eat for breakfast, before you eat it. Or something. More seriously though, it could be a useful tool if you want to keep your subscribers updated on regular scheduled events and stuff like that. Twuffer allows the Twitter user to…
Read MoreNo! No! Hair Remover – hot heat has her hair hazed
The No! No! Hair Remover uses heat, otherwise known as ‘Thermicon technology’ in marketing speak, to sizzle the hairs and make them wither on the vine. Apparently the touch of the hot wire is enough to scare the little follicles right down to their furry little boots, at which point they pack their bags and head off to cooler climes in Finland. Or something. The fact that the thing is a mere $250.00 has us enthused. After all, how could…

Collapsible Solar Traffic Cone. We’ve got no chuffin’ idea why you might need this, but hey, it’s solar powered so it gets our Thursday eco-conscious vote.

Light Reflection material in the cone surface # Solar Panel for charging up built-in rechargeable battery # Built-in rechargeable battery for…
Read MoreAnti-Static Keychains – save your fingers with a smile
I can’t be absolutely sure, but I have the feeling that these Anti-static Keychain doobries come with a little happy face which tell you when the static’s all gone from the door knob or whatever. Now what would be really cute would be a total Tamagotchi experience run completely off static. You’d have to run around hunting for more power to keep the little critter alive. Think of the hilarity. The tension. The weird looks as you scuttle up and…

Icon Restore lets you save and restore your Windows desktop icon layout at the click of a mouse button. Well actually you need to right mouse click on My Computer and select Save Desktop Icon Layout.

Read MoreCar Window Heater – consign your ice scraper to the history bucket
Stop wasting time with gloves and a plastic scraping scraper nonsense. Just dig deep into those fleece lined pockets and pony up the £56.50 for this Car Window Heater with built-in timer, and don’t look back. Hmm…on second thoughts, for that kind of cash I’m sure you could find a Boy Scout willing to do the early morning scrape for a winter. In the evening before your trip, just set the automatic timer to the desired operating time – approx. 30…
Read MoreXH-MO25 TV Mobile Phone – the dual SIM, dual simultaneous standby workaholic
This XH-MO25 TV Mobile Phone really knows how to work it. The two SIM cards are simultaneously active for your business and personal call needs, combined with not two but ‘THREE’ loudspeakers (one ‘shaking’?) as well as a 3 inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, FM Radio and two 300K cameras. Phew! Personally I think they should have gone for four of everything. After all, what’s a battery life of 10 minutes between friends? TV Mobile phone with dual sim card working at…
Read MoreMandun Multipurpose Charger and LED Torch – the power to shine out and give pleasure
The Mandun Multipurpose Charger and LED Torch is a clever beast in many ways, but mostly because it can directly charge up those generic black flat battery packs so beloved of gadget makers nowadays. No need to fiddle about with special adapters and wires, just plug the battery into the slot and go. It also helps that the device contains a 6000mA lithium polymer rechargeable battery pack, so you won’t be running back and forth to the power socket every…

Nice. Perfect for those who keep fully populated 8 GB memory cards in their…
