Weather Station Shower Mirror – it may be rainin’ out there, but there’s sunshine in my heart…

Weather Station Shower Mirror. It’s warm, snug, steamy and fine in your shower. So why not wreck the moment by learning that it’s -18 degrees and tongue freezingly awful outside, with this atomic clock, fog resistant, LED lit, wall hanging mirror? There now, that makes sense doesn’t it? $89.95.  This is the only shower mirror that displays temperature, humidity conditions, and barometric pressure readings received from a wireless remote sensor you place outside up to 100 feet away, and provides…

Digital Audio Jammer – stop unauthorised audio recording and save your b**t

Digital Audio Jammer. One of the awful things about being famous, as we know only too well, is that people always want to record your words for posterity (well OK, to make a buck with the scandal rags). Which can be a real drag, especially when you’re ranting on a bit about the price of Beluga to your butler. Anyway, this battery powered product is designed to take the stress out of speaking your mind. It basically knocks out any cassette or digital…

Giggle Bug – locate that wandering toddler at the press of a button

The Giggle Bug is a charmingly named child locator which works the same way a key finder device does. You attach the ‘bug’ to the child’s clothing (no pinning it onto their ears, OK?) and if they disappear just press the button on the keyfob attachment. The bug will then emit a ‘child friendly’ beep until you can locate them. Range around 100 feet. Wouldn’t it be great if it emitted a loud and raucous giggle instead of a boring…

The E.G.G. – keep your fruit and veg fresher, longer

The Ethylene Gas Guardian – or E.G.G. – keeps your fruit and veg fresh and tasty by absorbing the natural ethylene gas that they emit. Ethylene is a ripening gas which is a natural part of the growth process, but if there’s too much of it in a closed fridge environment it makes surrounding stuff go off quicker (tip: that’s why you should never store bananas, which are ethylene emitting ninjas, near to any other ripe fruit). Priced from $4.99 (or £3.99).  The answer to…

Intelligent GSM Car Alarm System – protect your vehicle with ‘kindly human voice’

S3533 Intelligent GSM Car Alarm System. OK, so we’re not entirely sure what makes this an ‘intelligent’ car alarm system, but we’re willing to go along for the ride. Maybe it’s because you control the thing by giving it ‘kindly’ voice commands over the phone or something. Or perhaps it’s because it will dial a second number as an emergency alert if your number is unobtainable at the time. Or could it be the Parking Alert, which we assume calls and warns you…

Franklin Digital Cooler – or heater if you prefer

The Franklin Digital Cooler looks like a retro 50s record player, and confusingly heats up your stuff as well as cools. Why didn’t they just call it a heater cooler? Or cooler heater? Anyhoo, it comes with an in-built LED thermometer and thermostat which keeps the box at your desired temperature no matter what’s going on around you. It also comes with a power adapter for the car, which is great news for truckers and those living in a vehicle…

Remote Control Rubber Duck. [Note to self: must get through whole post without mentioning ‘bath time fun’] Fear not gentle reader, for while it may seem sheer folly to stick an electric motor into a bath time icon, with the risk of massive electronical trauma to innocent bathers and all, the makers assure us that both controller and duck are, in fact, waterproof. Ah thank goodness, we hear you cry. £12.99 guarantees hours of rechargeable bath time…enjoyment.  The classic yellow…

FingerCam – world’s smallest wireless colour video camera

FingerCam is apparently the world’s smallest wireless colour video camera. The size of a dime, which when you consider how low the dollar has fallen in currency exchange terms, makes it very small indeed. Of course you’ll need a hulking great 9V battery pack to power it up, so there’s still a limit to how invisible this is, but until the nuclear model comes along it’ll have to do, won’t it? $95.00. Video sample?  While many places claim to have the world’s…
