There are garden accessories and then there are garden accessories, know what we mean? You can buy exotic stuff like fountains with glowing light shows and leaping dolphins, or you can invest in a couple of simple traditional garden gnomes. Your call. But if you really want to combine maximum security with utility, then this device takes the cake.

USB Visible Light Charger Cable shows how well your device is charging at a glance
No matter which way you dice it, charging our smartphones, music players and other portable devices can be a right royal pain. It’s not just the hassle of having to carry around the right cable for the right device – thank goodness microUSB is becoming more of a standard – but also the guesswork as to how the charge is progressing.
Read MoreHuman Calendar keeps you up to date with a nice bit of people style
Sometimes it’s the simple ideas that work best, and that’s the case with this Human Calendar service. No clever web tricks, or fancy graphics…just a bunch of people who clearly took the time and trouble to sit down for multiple poses in order to serve us today’s date in an innovative and interesting way. I particularly like the way the site has a sort of live action feel, with the gifs animatedly twitching as though to mark the passage of time….
Read MoreUzi Tactical Defender Pen will have you ready for anything
There seem to be a lot of shows where people are being robbed, mugged, or worse nowadays. It’s gotten many people to think that everyone is out to get them. While that is obviously not always true, what if someone is out to get you, and you’re not prepared?

Tactus Technology will give your touch-screen actual buttons
Many of us are now equipped with touch-screen phones. This particular craze began some time ago, but many of us still miss the ability to press down a physical button when we type an email or a text. There have been many different simulations of the feeling of pressing a button on a phone, but they all basically just vibrate after you touch the corresponding key.

The Self-Emptying Dehumidifier makes your life easier on a hot day
Humidity is almost a tangible thing. I say almost, because you can’t exactly reach out and grab it, but if it’s humid, you will know because you feel sticky and gross. It’s one thing for it to feel that way outside, but it is absolutely dreadful for it to be like that inside. The obvious fix is to get a dehumidifier, but should you forget to keep up with its collection tank, you’ll have a humid living space again in…

The Suntracking Shelter will guard you from UV rays all day long
There are some days where you want to go and sit outside under a canopy for hours on end. Cool breezes and the warmth of summer make being outside a worthwhile excursion. However, if you’re wanting to keep away from the sun’s rays, you will note that over time you’ll have to readjust where you sit to keep in the shadows.

Rinser Toothbrush streamlines brushing your teeth
We all have a certain way we brush our teeth. Some brush side to side or up and down, and others go in circles. That part only takes about a minute, but the real task is getting all the toothpaste foam out of your mouth. You can buy paper cups, but eventually you’ll have to toss them out. The next best option is to have a glass in the bathroom, but that’s still one more dish you’ll have to wash.

Dual Snowboards gives you a whole new way to experience snowboarding
There are many different ways to go careening down a snowy slope. You can go with skis, where both feet are on parallel planks and you’re facing forward, on an inter-tube not really knowing which way you’ll end up, or facing sideways on a snowboard. For those of you adventure seekers out there though, these options may not be enough for you.

Eccotemp L5 Portable Water Water Heater Shower delivers luxury bathing off grid
Who says you have to rough it when you’re out in the wilds? Well OK, maybe the Marines do. And the aboriginals. And that crack Russian boy scout troupe that was in the news a while back. But for the rest of us mere mortals, it’s hard to give up the comforts of home. Face it, it’s bad enough without the comfy pillows and bed-socks.
Read MoreThe Spectator Umbrella Seat is a chair anywhere
You’re on your way to work, and you have to wait at the bus stop along the way. Of course, there are a limited number of seats at the stop, and sometimes you don’t want to be the awkward person that sidles into that last bit of free space on the bench. You could just bring your own seat if you have a habit of coming earlier than the bus, but you likely don’t want to bring a fold-able chair…

PlayStation Move Racing Wheel wants to give you a more immersive gaming experience
We all want to be more immersed in our video games when we play them. For some, it’s an escape from the real world, for others, it’s a means to relax. It’s the same as those who want to go to the beach, but can only listen to sound of the ocean and hold some sand instead.

Assisi LED Planter lights your way through a nighttime garden
Sometimes taking a nighttime stroll can clear your mind. Something about the stillness of night can make things a lot clearer. The only problem you’ll be stuck with is returning to your doorstep with the task of not tripping over anything. Placing little solar lamps in your garden can work, but that’s just one more thing you might trip over if you’re not paying attention.

Mobile Phone Signal Blocking Bag makes sure your phone can’t send or receive calls
There are times when we need to be alone, free from distraction and the everyday noise of life and living. During these contemplative moments, we seek the silence of meditation, the peace and harmony that can only come about through strict sacrifice. And what bigger offering to our soul can we give, than to do without our mobile phone? Yes, yes we can!
Read MoreCloak Camera Bag is perfect for photographers on the go
Many of us aspire to be photographers. While most just stick to taking neat filtered photos with a smartphone, some take up the challenge and move to an SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera. This is not a small purchase by any means, so the next logical step is to buy a carrying case to keep it safe.
