Tetris Light

Now here is something interesting that you might want to consider the next time you are thinking of going about remodeling your home – the £29.99 Tetris Light would be just the thing. After all, we do know that there are plenty of options when it comes to lighting up your home, and with the game of Tetris, there are seven different Tetrominoes for you to choose from. It is really interesting to see how phenomenal the game of Tetris had ended up ever since it was released from Soviet Russia all the way back in the early 1980s, ending up as one of the world’s favorite computer games to date. Heck, it even has a multiplayer version on the social network Facebook today.

Well, introduce a little bit of Tetris magic into your living room with the Tetris Lights that you see here. It does not matter where you place it, as it will light up in just the way your video game mind might work. If you collect all the different Tetrominoes, then you can play a very short game of Tetris on your very own – although there is no way you are able to obtain a perfect line clear with all the parts. At least this is one instance where money can get you just the right Tetromino.

Podtime Sleeping Pods

They say that getting the adequate amount of sleep is highly important for everyone regardless of age, and I do agree whole-heartedly with that observation. After all, my performance at work tends to drop if I do not have a good night’s sleep before, so what are some of the options to clock in uninterrupted shuteye? Well, apart from the right temperature and bedding comforts, not to mention quiet surroundings, how about this unique device known as the Podtime Sleeping Pod? It will not come cheap that is for sure at £1,375 a pop, but it offers you a chance to catch a quick snooze in order to recharge your batteries.

It has been touted to be a practically indestructible polycarbonate tube, sporting heavy-duty frosted doors, a luxurious fitted mattress and outstanding air circulation so that you are able to relax in comfort and privacy. Being flat packed to follow Ikea’s footsteps, it is a snap to transport or stash it away somewhere, letting you set up your bedroom wherever you fancy. It does not seem to cater for two in the Podtime Sleeping Pod itself, so forget about getting the horizontal tango on.

R2-D2 Mug with Lid

You have just got to love Firebox’s tagline for the £14.99 R2-D2 Mug with Lid which goes like this, “I’m thirsty R2, you’re my only hope.” I am quite sure that there are numerous mugs out there in the pantry cabinet, but how many of them are worth having a look at considering the coolness factor of Star Wars is far higher than that of a standard issue porcelain mug? Even if you are not a Star Wars fan, I am quite sure that this particular mug looks good on your desk – after all, who can resist such a cute looking drinking apparatus?

The R2-D2 Mug with Lid’s function is far more limited than his usual repertoire of tricks, as he does not pilot any starships, nor does he carry any secret Imperial documents for the Rebel Alliance to plot their next move – no sir, what he does this time around is plain and simple, to let you sip your favorite beverage (hot or cold, it does not matter as he is made out of some pretty tough stuff) without missing a beat. Made out of high-quality ceramics with sculpted detail and colored glazing, his head functions as a removable lid.

Now here is something that brings together the old and new under a single roof – with the Ultra-Portable USB Turntable, of course. You can choose from two flavors – the £49.99 LP 2 GO or the £59.99 Duo Deck. Regardless of your choice, both of them were specially designed with easy transport in mind, making them an extremely portable version of the turntable.

Game of Thrones Replica Iron Throne

I don’t know as to whether you have been swept up by the craze known as Game of Thrones, but if you have answered in the affirmative and have some serious coin left in your bank account to spend, how about checking out this particular purchase which might not be pleasing to your other half when he or she finds out that you blew a whopping £20,000 on the Game of Thrones Replica Iron Throne?

Fictionally, it was forged from a thousand enemy swords in the fiery breath of the dragon Balerion the Black Dread, where the Iron Throne is one imposing sight, being the seat of power in King’s Landing. Nice to know that a replica is now available for sale, although it might just do nothing much other than to reinforce the false notion that you are the king of your own castle, never mind that the proverb should be updated to reflect the cramped apartments that many of us live in these days.

This is a unique purchase that is guaranteed to be a conversation starter, as it was specially crafted by robots, using fibreglass and fire rated resin. Such an incredible work of art will obviously be a highly limited version, so do not wait, as “Winter is coming.” Sorry, that bit was hard to resist.
