The Shot Flask

You can shoot from the hip – without harming anyone in the process other than your liver, of course, and when you have drunk enough, it is time for you to shoot from the mouth as well. The £19.99 Shot Flask is nothing quite like a hip flask. It oozes with class, and sure as heck beats carrying a keg on your shoulder, where the latter is definitely far from being subtle, and it just makes your entire look so unrefined.

Of course, that is not all, the Shot Flask itself is a gorgeous, leather-wrapped, stainless-steel hip flask. It sports a collapsible 60ml metal shot glass which is carried within the flask itself, thanks to a recess that has been carved out on the the flask. At first glance, it does look as though it is an embossed badge, where the shot glass will pop out and extend telescopically so that you end up with a solid 60ml cup. This allows you to share a toast with the rest of your mates – ideal when your favorite sports team wins, or for you to drown your sorrows in them. All without having to worry about any mess whatsoever to clean up after that.

World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle

There are jigsaw puzzles, and then there are jigsaw puzzles. What you see here is touted to be the World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle, and it definitely does not come across as cheap, either, considering how you will need to fork out a rather hefty $299.95 for this puppy. To literally put things into perspective, the World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle measures more than 17 feet long and 6 feet wide, and has been recognized as so by the Guinness Book of World Records. Just how many pieces of manic puzzle solving do you need to go through before it is completed?

We are looking at 32,256 pieces, where the entire jigsaw puzzle will tip the scales at 42 lbs., and to make life a wee bit easier for you, it will be accompanied by its very own hand truck. Made by Ravensburger, the very same crafters of fine German puzzles since 1891, these jigsaw pieces are definitely hardy and of high quality, being made from 1/16″-thick cardboard with glare-free linen-structured paper and cut using hand-crafted tools. The result? Smooth, dust free pieces which fit together – perfectly. When completed, the puzzle shows a retrospective of world-renowned pop artist Keith Haring’s ebullient, graffiti-based art.

Retro Telephone Shaped Hand Shower

Are you one of those who love spending hours lounging in the shower, singing your heart out? It works out great if you are single and living all by yourself, but if the home has only one bathroom, and during the early morning rush hours where everyone wants to have their turn in the bathroom, you would best hurry up. The thing is, if you absolutely want to get your singing kicks in, perhaps it would be best to avoid purchasing the £12.99 Retro Telephone Shaped Hand Shower and installing it in the shower stall.

Functioning like a standard shower head with a universal fitting, the Retro Telephone Shaped Hand Shower is definitely a sight to behold, especially when you have water spraying out. The telephone itself is shaped perfectly to function as a shower head, where it will be able to give a different take on an everyday item, transforming it into a fun, albeit slightly wacky but definitely unique, “talking” point! Those who grew up with a 1950s Bakelite telephone will definitely be able to appreciate the humor in this.

Star Wars Holiday Lights

So, your beloved Star Wars movie franchise has just been bought over from Disney, and you can more or less say that Ariel and Leia can duke it out for the sexiest princess title considering the kind of suits that they wore in the past. Perhaps for this Christmas or holiday season, you might want to bring some Star Wars cheer to your home, and how do you do exactly that without any outside help? Fret not, Thinkgeek is to the rescue yet again with the $29.99 Star Wars Holiday Lights, allowing you to light your tree with friends and allies from a galaxy far, far away.

There are 10 lights on each string, with individual strings measuring up to 138 inches in length. It is rather unfortunate that one cannot choose from the Dark Side of the Force, presumably because the Light Side of the Force is in a far more grammatically correct position. You can select from either Yoda or R2-D2 to light up your room, and we do recommend you have a healthy mix of space-related ornaments as well as other Yuletide decorations.

Shirt Shuttle MK2

So much for the war cry, “Cease and desist!” but rather, with the £34.99 Shirt Shuttle MK2, you will be able to see creases desist – for good. Frequent travelers, especially business people who tend to pack in those working shirts that look best when pressed or ironed, will definitely find the Shirt Shuttle MK2 to be worth every single shilling that they forked out for. After all, you have put in your fair share of effort in ironing your clothes, so why waste all of the hard work by placing the crisp shirt into your suitcase, only to have it doomed?

With the Shirt Shuttle MK2, all you need to do is fold your shirt, and attach it to the Shirt Shuttle MK2 for a crease-free journey right up ahead. There are soft rounded edges to support your shirt, and you need not apply too much pressure to a particular spot, and your shirt will be more than ready to hang upon your arrival. As long as you follow the easy folding instructions carefully, you will be able to look extremely stylish when you step out of your hotel room, ready for the night’s pleasantries. The board itself fits inside the travel case in a jiffy, while pads ensure that the shirt remains in place. There is a recessed carrying handle, and the entire shebang is waterproof and secure – what more can you ask for?

Sceptre does it again with a new 32” LCD HDTV

If you are on a tight budget and have always had a mind to upgrade your TV or purchase a new one to replace the older model in your bedroom or living room, then the name Sceptre would definitely have crossed your mind. After all, isn’t this the kind of brand that most folks can resonate with, especially when it carries the values of delivering the best bang for your hard earned buck? Sceptre has proven itself in the past with quality LED and LCD HDTVs as well as computer monitors, and they are back again this time around with their latest 32” LCD HDTV which was specially designed to deliver superb image quality as well as long term energy savings, and it is better known as the Sceptre X328BV-FHD.

The new Sceptre X328BV-FHD comes in a trend setting jet black slim design, and is more than capable of handling brighter and more robust colors thanks to a wide range of features such as a 1920×1080 resolution, 60 Hz Refresh Rate, 5,000:1 contrast ratio, and 3D Comb Filter among others. The unit itself will also be equipped with all the necessary bells and whistles of more expensive units, where among them include 5.1 digital audio capabilities, multiple HDMI and a USB port for easy connectivity, with the option to mount it to a wall or to have it function as a computer monitor.

Since you are a cost conscious consumer, surely you would also be right on top of things where being environmentally friendly is concerned. The Sceptre X328BV-FHD is Energy Star V5.3 compliant, and is touted to use up just approximately $11 of energy each year, now how about that for savings in the long run? Not only that, it is said to have a rated lamp life of over 50,000 hours – and that is equivalent to over 5 years of continuous usage, which is far more TV than you should be watching in the first place anyways.

The best part of the Sceptre X328BV-FHD? It retails for a mere $499 a pop.

Molecular Inspired Comfort

Somewhere in the world exists the ultimate lounging furniture. Recliners are ok, and certainly have come a long way. Heck you can get massagers, phones, heating and even a fridge built-in. And comfort is good, but it is still a chair. Bean bags have made a resurgence. But have you ever tried to nap on a bean bag? You can’t get away from constantly shifting foamy bits inside.

The creative brains at AnimiCausa found a line of  stylish furniture that can join in the “ultimate comfortable seating” game. Welcome to the Feel Seating System. Composed of a number of soft round cushions, you arrange the Feel System based on your needs. Stretch it out as a bed, curl up one side as a chair or couch, or just create a nest based on how you want to cozy up. The design was inspired by molecular structure if that helps illustrate its versatility and flexibility. Do a Google search for Feel Seating System for more ideas on how to fold it, bend it and shape it.

Like the recliner or bean bag – there are drawbacks. In the case of the Feel Seating System price may play a part. The small child version, the Petit, goes for $599 with the mac-daddy deluxe going for $7,950. So though it may not be an addition for the average household, for businesses or agencies looking for a stylish addition check it out. And perhaps the day will eventually arrive when the ultimate in comfort and price arrives. We shall see.

How many of you still have a landline at home? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you are surely part of a dying breed. In fact, mobile phone proliferation has been going on for quite some time already, that I cannot remember the last time someone called me on my landline. Wait a minute, it was a couple of weeks ago when one of those pesky telemarketers who seem to know just when you are about to sit down and have a delicious, home cooked meal, when the phone rings.

Pac-Man Ghost Lamp

So, you have a very soft spot for all of those retro video games that you grew up with, ranging from Centipede to Dig Dug, Asteroids, and of course, the wakka-wakka sound of Pac-Man. Here we are with a blast from the past, although this would mean you are on the bad guys’ side this time around with the £34.99 Pac-Man Ghost Lamp. There is nothing quite as classic as Pac-Man, where this is one of the four ghosts that go around haunting Pac-Man – at least until he gets to a nearby Power Pill and turns the tables on them ghosties.

The Pac-Man Ghost Lamp does what it does best – lighting up your room with a ghostly glow, and not only that, it can be remote controlled and is a 100% authentic lamp to light up your room (or wherever else you decide to place it). Unlike the ghosts in the original Pac-Man game, the Pac-Man Ghost Lamp is capable of delivering a spectrum of 16 different colors in a range of settings, among them Strobe, Flash, Dim and Smooth Fade. While this is not an actual ghost, you will need to ensure it remains plugged into the mains at all times to work.
