MP3
Mini Amp Speakers - If you're just a little bored of mini MP3
speakers all looking as though they're desperately trying to leap
onto the iPod-look bandwagon, then we have a solution. This classic
styled MP3 Amp Speaker looks just like a good old rock band's concert
speaker, albeit a much tinier version. Despite its diminutive size,
it still pumps out 5W, and as any true rock amp should, has treble
and bass control. As well as hooking it up to your MP3 player, it
also has a USB port enabling you to hook it up to your PC or Laptop
as well. In our opinion it out-looks any other mini speakers out
there, is more functional and sounds great. We will rock you.
Features
A rocking 5W mini amp for your MP3 player and computer.
The detail and design on this mini amp speaker replicates the coolness
of that of a full-size version.
The speaker has adjustable Bass, Treble and Volume dials to really
get the best from your music.
The mini amp can be used as both an MP3 speaker (or any music player
with a 3.5mm jack) or a computer speaker.
Requires 3 x AAA Batteries (not included) or a USB lead for your
PC (included) to power the speaker.
Suitable for ages 8 years+.
Size: 12.5 x 10 x 9cm.
Wireless
Floating Speaker - Sound gadgets such as iPods and the like
are beautiful things, but when you want to listen to your music
around the house, in the bathroom, the Jacuzzi, the garden, or out
by your luxurious pool, you don't want to go ruining them with water
and dirt - or come to think of it drag round speakers festooned
with wires and cables etc etc. This Wireless Floating Speaker allows
you to leave your high-tech gadgetry (and indeed your stereo system)
safe in the warm while you take the speakers wherever you like.
You can even float them in the bath or the pool! A small transmitter
hooks up to your sound system (be it big or small) and wirelessly
transmits your tunes effortlessly up to 150ft away, to these incredibly
cool speakers. Wherever you wander round the house or garden you
can take your music with you. Hook 'em up to your iPod, your computer,
your stereo, your TV, i.e. whatever has a standard 3.5mm audio output
and is pounding out sound, and you've got music at your fingertips.
Ingenious and indispensable.
Features
A funky bulbous floating speaker.
The speaker is waterproof so can float along in your bath or pool.
A transmitter with a 3.5mm jack ready to be hooked up to your MP3
player and other audio/tv devices with the same jack.
The transmitter wirelessly transmits your audio up to a range of
a massive 150ft.
Requires 4 x AA Batteries (not included) for the speaker and 3 x
AAA Batteries (not included) for the transmitter.
Suitable for ages 12 years+.
Size: 14 x 14 x 13cm.
Old
Skool Leather Football - Ah those were the days, jumpers for
goalposts, scraped knees and muddied shorts, oranges at half time
(the height of luxury) and it seemed to rain a lot - nostalgia bound
up in a ball. This beauty is more a monument to the past than a
football (we didn't want to get it dirty, it looks so nice). Italian
made, hand-stitched and coming in its own cloth bag, this 'old school'
Leather Football is a thing of beauty, and deserves a plinth more
than it does a pitch.
Sat
Nag - The Sat Nag is the greatest in-car invention since the
Sat Nav. Actually no, it's better than a Sat Nav, and even if it's
guaranteed to get you nowhere fast, it's one of those jokes that
just keeps on giving. Press the button on the front and a very well-recorded,
patronising woman's voice will come out with one of a host of hysterical
Sat Nav-type commands. With such crackers as: "I know you're
a man, but it's been 35 minutes now, so can you please admit you're
lost and ask someone the way"; and "In 100 metres turn
left. No right, err, no left. Sorry, I never can tell my left from
my right", as well as "In 50 meters I'm going to put on
my most annoying voice and say 'Is your short cut really faster
when we get stuck in traffic like this, well, is it darling?"
and "In 100 meters I'm going to talk to you in that special
voice, which should let you know you've upset me in some way that
is bound to be your fault".
There are loads of them, and the main reason they're so darn funny
is that (whilst ducking a flying shoe) they're so accurate, we've
all been there, and boy are we all going there again. There are
a few 'not in front of the children' comments, but none that are
too offensive. This anti-compass has a holographic screen, highlighting
the important roads such as Whiny Lane, Backseat Drive and Earache
Avenue, and will have you howling with laughter both at the idiosyncrasies
of women in passenger seats and also how dumb men are behind the
wheel - every car should have one.
Features
The in-car gadget that gets you nowhere fast.
This mock-up Sat Nav is crammed with totally unhelpful and embarrassingly
familiar offerings from a patronising woman's voice such as "In
100 metres turn left. No right, err, no left. Sorry, I never can
tell my left from my right".
The Sat Nag has a holographic screen highlighting roads such as
Earache Avenue.
Suitable for ages 16 years+ (some strong language).
Size: 10 x 8 x 2cm.

Lighting Laserpod Space, the final frontier. These are the features
of the Laserpod Supernova - to boldly glow where no Laserpod has
glowed before, to seek out new lighting effects, to transform your
ceiling into a laser studded sky of infinite depth and variation.
We may be stretching the analogy a bit now, so let's move on. This
total re-design, re-fit and re-vamp of the Laserpod into its current
incarnation as the aptly named Supernova is quite simply stunning.
Looking not a little unlike the piston head from some kind of sexy
super-car, it hides a brilliant (quite literally) lighting display
system. A cluster of powerful LEDs and a laser are embedded in the
aluminium body of the light, and shine up through a revolving multi-faced
crystal that splits and fractures the light sources into a galaxy
of ever changing effects. Great sweeps of stars (including shooting
ones) unfold across your ceiling, interspersed with clustered novas,
and probably a quark or two. The Supernova comes with three filters
to change the style and impact of the display from crisp stars and
space clouds, to ever transforming fractal light show, to gentle
undulation colour shifts, and you can place any glass item over
the top lens to add even more lighting effects. Each element creates
different but equally mesmerising lighting effects that are both
mellow and yet decidedly funky. The Laserpod Supernova is set to
be the 21st Century answer to the lava lamp, only stratospherically
cooler.
Features
A super slick aluminium projector unit.
Red and green lasers project a galaxy of starbursts and shooting
stars onto your ceiling.
The classic red and blue LEDs synonymous with the Laserpod create
gaseous blue clouds to add to the scene.
Pure crystal refracts the LEDs to project different laser effects.
A holographic lens is included to adjust the lighting effects.
A domed diffuser is included to create a tighter, more restricted
light show.
Suitable for ages 12 years+.
Requires a mains adaptor (UK adaptor included).
Size: 17 x 8 x 8cm.
Digital
DVD Bring the past back to the future by digitising your old
VHS and Camcorder tapes. VHS may be just sooooo yesterday, but that
doesn't mean you don't have a whole heap of memories piled up on
those quaintly huge tapes lurking the cupboard. Now you can transform
your memories into digital movies, from your old VHS tapes or camcorder,
straight to your computer. Better still you can then put those same
blasts from the past onto your iPod, rip them to a DVD or pop them
on a compatible mobile phone. The old wedding video, that unfortunate
holiday vid from '86, or even that obscure movie you bought in an
old video shop that was never released as a DVD. The clothes you
may have been wearing back then might be a bit dodgy, but boy is
it a scream seeing them again. Hey you could even post your wedding
vid onto YouTube so old Aunt Hatty in New Zealand can watch again
as she leaps from the top table into the unsuspecting arms of the
vicar. Dust off your memories, because the past is priceless.
Power
Popper The Power Popper is the ultimate in low tech stupidity,
oh the joy of being juvenile. Filled with a dozen foam balls, this
pump action popper is a must for anyone with a young heart and a
wicked intent. As fast as you can pump, the balls will power out
and annoy the heck out of anyone in their path. We've managed to
deeply irritate most of the people working here without having to
try very hard at all, which has to be a good thing. It's great fun,
it's very silly, and in the words of the late, and very great, Douglas
Adams, it's "mostly harmless".
You know this'll be the best thing to have at the office party ever!
Intelligent
Wine Cooler Whilst we all enjoy our wine, and well know that
it's best enjoyed at the perfect temperature, there are few among
us who know exactly what that temperature is, and how to get our
wine to it, so to speak. We don't want to freeze our Pouilly Fume,
or toast our Malbec, so what to do? Well this rather clever piece
of kit knows exactly what to do, and how to do it. With an internal
heater and chiller unit, it can get your favourite tipple to the
perfect temperature in short order. Its databank stores the exact
temperatures for 30 of the most common (but in a good way) wine
varieties, you simply select your Pinot Noir, Chablis or Beaujolais,
you name it, and the unit will warm or cool it accordingly. If you're
a clever clogs and know the temperature you should choose, then
you can set it that way. It's so easy to use even a Chardonnay drinker
can master it, you just tap the buttons by the clear back-lit LCD
screen. Perfect wine every time, and it even has a bottle opener
tucked into the back of it.
