You know that soldiers are made out of tough stuff – if you were to get a bunch of geeks to defend the country’s honor, or to send them out to war, you would most probably end up making plenty of widows in the process, with mourning families in tow. No sir, a country needs a strong army to ensure that one’s sovereignty would not be trampled upon that easily, and churning out a tough batch of soldiers is easier said than done. Well, you might want to have some of these troopers around your home, too, where the £24.99 Soldier Doorstop will not stop advancing enemies, but rather, use their inherent toughness to prevent doors from slamming shut.

We know that war is hell, but ensuring that everyone around the home has enough peace and quiet is also important, as slamming doors not only send a shock down the spine of some of the weaker hearts around the home, they are also not too good for the ears in the long run, not to mention you might just have an extremely painful finger or two in the event that your finger/toe is parked somewhere on the doorpost itself by accident when a sudden gust of wind arrives. Made from sturdy plastic polyresin, the Soldier Doorstop tips the scales at a solid 1.75kg, ensuring he remains firmly entrenched whenever you place him, without suffering from fatigue or fear round the clock.

Over the years, I am quite sure that you have heard medical research being done on coffee drinkers – some say that drinking one cup of coffee a day is going to help lower the chances of heart attack, while some time down the road, another report says otherwise, placing you in two minds as to whether to continue to drink coffee or not. I say bollocks to all of that, and just settle for what you want to drink, as you can never tell whether today is going to be your last day here on earth or not. Having said that, you might want to check out the £34.99 Koziol Unplugged Coffee Maker which comes in lime green, red, white or black colors.

All you need to do is fill up the Koziol Unplugged Coffee Maker with coffee (or other flavors if you so desire), add some boiling water, and you’re good to go. Sporting an extremely classy design, it is the de facto coffee maker to purchase especially if you happen to be a young, working single who is just starting out in life, living in an extremely cramped apartment at a rent that would cause your father to cough up blood when he hears about it. Best of all is, this is one coffee maker that keeps on working even when there is no electricity in the region, thanks to its traditional drip-style form factor.

Now here is a Tequila shooter that lives up to its name – the £29.99 Tequila Guns. The next time your mate asks you whether you would want to go shoot some tequila right after work, all you need to do is give a knowing nod, open your drawer and pull out the Tequila Gun that has been sitting in there for this opportune moment. No need to wait until after work, although your boss might not approve of a little tipple during the day. You will be able to pick from the classic cowboy 6-Shooter, or the more contemporary Glock 9mm and shoot – not people, but rather, tequila, as you end a particularly strenuous day at work.

Of course, it goes without saying that these are not actual guns, but rather, they are tequila bottles which were made south of the border. These beautifully realized glass bottles have been filled with high-quality tequila, and each purchase comes with a pair of shot glasses as well as a display stand. Definitely not the kind of glass bottle that you would discard once they are empty.

I know that with the advent of smartphones and tablets, not many people bother to buy a watch anymore to tell the time. Most of the time, the devices that we use, as well as computers that we sit in front of, will have a clock program built-in so that you know whether it is time to punch out and head home, or to take a break for lunch. Having said that, the luxury watch market is not affected by this phenomenon, but ordinary watches? It will take far more than just a pretty face to capture the attention of potential buyers. Watches need to offer more than just to tell the time, which is why the £24.99 Eu Watch does make plenty of sense, coming in a variety of colors such as black, blue, Funky Black/Red Face, Funky Blue/Red Face and purple.

The Eu Watches were inspired by the building blocks of our childhood (and adulthood too, some say), where this oddly euro-centrically named EU Watches will feature a beautiful, blocky design that arrives in different and bold color combinations. Apart from sporting all the digital bells and whistles that one might expect from a modern-day digital watch, they are also highly durable and will not cause your biceps to bulge when you wear it. This unisex timepiece will come with functions such as Day/Date, an alarm, a stopwatch and of course, the all important backlight.

You know something? Back when I was a kid, I never would have figured out the day would come when computers could surf on this thing called the “Internet”, and that we would be toting around wireless devices everywhere we go. Well, I guess things can change a whole lot in just a couple of decades, and it is going to be an exciting ride to be on this train that is gonna ride for a good half decade more, assuming all goes well with my health before I call it quits in the game of life. Still, it amazes me that something as basic as a bathroom scale would be on the receiving end of WiFi connectivity, no? The £99.99 Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales can be said to be a “sequel” of sorts from the original, where it has obviously gone to the fat house and lost some weight, while being faster and looking all the more fabulous – just like you should, when you have shed off all those accumulated pounds over your holiday feasting.

The Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales comes in a tempered-glass and aluminum body that will automatically record your weight, fat mass and BMI (body mass index) each time you step on it. Your efforts (or lack of it, depending on which side of the disciplinary fence you’re on) will be stored on a secure website, social network or smartphone app, allowing you to access such data at any point in time – as long as there is a decent Internet connection around, of course. Do expect this puppy to be able to keep track and store data for as many as eight users simultaneously, where it will rely on previously recorded data to identify each user. I would assume you would not mind sharing your results over a social network if they have been encouraging, but otherwise, it would be best to keep on working at your fitness regime.
