Aroma USB – Freshen Your Space and Your Mood

One of my first jobs was working in a huge office in one of those little cubicles. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the guy that worked directly across from me didn’t bring the most horrific things into the workplace to have for lunch. I’m talking liver and onion leftovers, some sort of day old curry and a runny brown concoction that I never was able to identify. I used to just sit in my rickety old desk chair and gag.

If only I had the Aroma USB, an incredibly useful USB operated cold mist ultrasonic fragrance dispenser. This non storage USB can be used with almost any fragrance oil available on the market, and it can deliver its ambiance enhancing scent for up to an entire week on a single refill. The Aroma USB promises to envelope up to a 10 foot area in aromatherapy -like bliss.

The Aroma USB allows you to adjust its fragrance strength and use just what you need in order to mask any unpleasant smells perhaps emanating from your neighbor. This may be the perfect secret santa gift for your less than sweet smelling roommate or office buddy, and, it could be the only hint they need.

The Aroma USB is currently only available in white and sells for under 30 bucks. So get one for yourself, or for one of your smelly friends at yankodesigns.com and then feel free to have that chili for lunch… or wear your dirty socks for another day.

Powertools PLAYMAT 4-in-1 Workshop

I am quite glad that the local Ikea which is just a 10 minute drive away from my home is housed in a shopping mall that also holds a huge hardware store. In this way, the missus can spend her time figuring out just which curtain patterns blend in with the living room, while I can check out what other power tools I want but do not need are on sale. If you want your little one to explore the world of power tools safely, then there is no better way to do so than with the $79.99 Powertools PLAYMAT 4-in-1 Workshop, which essentially is a power tool set designed for kids.

This is not some makeshift, imaginary plastic set, but rather, the real tools that are full well capable of sawing, drilling, sanding and even perform wood turning. The machine will be able to change from one function to the other in just a matter of seconds, so that your little one is able to saw, drill, sand, and sculpt wood to their heart’s content. As for safety issues, fret not – the Playmat was specially designed to prevent tiny fingers from being injured. Best to get your own pair of safety goggles to go along with this.

Tick Tock Bluetooth Alarm Clock Stereo

A dedicated alarm clock is something that not everyone owns these days, simply because our smartphone carries a plethora of functions that makes a slew of other once useful devices obsolete. I’m referring to the portable media player and the alarm clock, and today, we shall take a closer look at what kind of value that the $79.99 Tick Tock Bluetooth Alarm Clock Stereo is able to deliver right out of the box.

Sporting a modern look with a classic retro design, the Tick Tock Bluetooth Alarm Clock Stereo will boast five preset alarm functions as well as an LCD display that will show the audio input selected, in addition to the date and time, as well as any active alarms which have been set prior. Not only that, it comes accompanied by a couple of 360-degree omni-directional speakers that are neatly disguised as two classic speaker bells. An international FM radio tuner with 24 preset channels adds more variety to your musical tastes just in case you run out of tunes to listen to.

iClassic Phone Docking Station

The old and the new worlds collide with the $49.99 iClassic Phone Docking Station. As you should be able to deduce from the name of the device itself, it will sport a classic phone design – receiver and all, although there is a docking port available for you to dock your iPhone inside. Basically, whenever you receive a call on your iPhone, you can pick up the receiver on the iClassic Phone Docking Station and start talking away.

It is nice to know that the iClassic Phone Docking Station plays nice with your handset’s very own AC charger, and will come with built-in volume slide switch as well as a receive/disconnect button, accompanied by a flashing blue “light ring” call indicator, and will play nice with majority of the smartphones out there. Heck, it will also juice up your power hungry smartphone whenever it remains docked, and at least you need not worry about having too many unseen rays bombarding your head while you talk. A quartet of ancient C batteries are required to power the blue call indicator light.

Brightness Zooming Bedside Lamp

So the new Kindle devices have just been announced, where you can now have another option to read late into the night without disturbing your already snoring partner. However, for those of us who still stick to traditional paperbacks and hardcovers, you would need to enlist the help of a bedside lamp. Some of the bedside lamps do not have that many lighting options, but not so for the $129.95 Brightness Zooming Bedside Lamp.

The name itself does give the game away somewhat – this bedside lamp comes with an additional directional light which is capable of widening or narrowing its beam in order to deliver optimal illumination for reading. When you slide the supplemental lamp’s head, it intensifies its light from a diffused glow to a focused beam. Want to redirect the focused beam over to where you are able to get a better look? Use its flexible gooseneck and you have pinpoint control. The clear, white light hails from a 50,000-hour rated LED that makes it perfect for reading an irresistible page-turner. Of course, it is of not much help if the book you hold in your hands is a dozer.

Ready, Set, Draw…Your Thermometer

Overcooking food. There is no better way to kick a nice evening off than burning the steaks or overcooking the potatoes. Think of it, you have friends over, you are trying to be host(ess) and get all the food finalized. Make sure the grill is a certain temp, make sure the water on the stove is hot enough, keep the side dishes warm…but not cooking. It is a challenge to juggle all the tasks! Arm yourself with a tool that can help you manage times like this, and more.

The Kintrex IRT0421, built to measure temperatures from a distance, requires no contact with food. Using an infrared sensor, the unit provides temperatures from -76 to 932°F. Hopefully your meat doesn’t get hotter than that. The pistol-grip design makes it easy to handle and by not touching the food you maintain a sanitary environment. Beam it at the grill to check temperature, beam it at the warming items to ensure they quit cooking. Not to mention the fact you can use it to stay on top of temperatures anywhere. Two AAA batteries for power means you can replace them as needed. Manage all the temperatures in your life for $46.45 on Amazon.

World’s Largest Toe Tap Piano

I just love the way that Hammacher tends to use superlative words in describing their goods, and this time around, we have what they deem to be the $79.95 World’s Largest Toe Tap Piano. Of course, I do not doubt them after seeing the size of that thing, which measures a whopping 10-feet in length, making it indisputably the largest dance-on piano around the globe. Boasting a 35’ square space, this piano mat allows your merry home of budding virtuosos to compose their own music as they dance, jump, and basically romp on the keys, using their ever increasing body weight to their advantage.

The thing is, chances are they will not be composing the next big tune, but rather, make a large, random din around the home. You ought to be best prepared if you intend to work at home while your kids are having the time of their lives with the World’s Largest Toe Tap Piano, where a pair of ear plugs would come highly recommended. After all, screaming kids are already something that takes getting used to, but with the accompaniment of music – random one at that? Its insane, but worth every penny you pay for. Replicating sound from eight different instruments (piano, saxophone, violin, organ, trumpet, harp, vibraphone, guitar), it can also hook up to an iPod or another MP3 player, letting budding musicians play along to their favorite songs if they want to.

Talking Teaching Solar System Scale

There is nothing quite like learning from an interactive device, which is why we figured out that this $49.95 Talking Teaching Solar System Scale is worth every penny if you want to start teaching your little ones on all the planets in our solar system. I do wonder whether Pluto has been given the boot this time around, but we do know that with the Talking Teaching Solar System Scale, you and your family are privy to 40 fun facts concerning our solar system, where it will calculates each stander’s weight on each planet.

The voice you hear is that of renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, where the mat’s speaker reproduces a series of facts each time someone steps onto a planet, making sure concepts of gravity, weight, and mass are introduced along the way. Powered by a trio of AA batteries, it might get rather boring after a while – especially when those sponge-like minds around the home has absorbed all the facts spewed out many times over.

Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Electric Toothbrush

Oh look, what do we have here? Another Dr. Who device that will definitely charm the masses. The thing is, Dr. Who deals plenty with time machines, time travel and such, so do you think it would make perfect sense for a time-travelling toothbrush to make an appearance? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you will be pleased to hear that £11.99 will net you the Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Electric Toothbrush. After all, even Time Lords are able to develop tartar as well as gingivitis, hence having something as simple perfunctory as a toothbrush attachment for the Sonic Screwdriver makes plenty of sense.

Of course, you are not able to change TV channels with this puppy, but at least you know that this is an officially licensed product, and has also gained approval from dentists to boot – across many dimensions, of course. A single AA battery is all that is required to power this puppy. Would you go manual instead if you run out of juice on this?

Instant Geodesic Dome

Do you think that children these days tend to rely too much on modern day technology to keep them entertained? If you have answered in the affirmative, then surely you are part of the adult group who have asked your kids (or your nephews and nieces) to actually turn off the TV and console, and head towards the great outdoors to play, get some sunshine on their skin and basically explore what the natural world has to offer. Of course, it would help if your garden or backyard had some sort of kiddy props to begin with, and if you do not have any idea at where to begin, the $199.95 Instant Geodesic Dome does seem to shape up to be a decent place to start.

To put it in a nutshell, this geodesic dome gains the “instant” tag since it can be assembled within 15 minutes (or less, depending on your engineering proficiency), making it ideal for indoor or outdoor play. Assuming you fix it up good and proper, it offers a durable, safe structure for children to scramble over, under, and through, helping them gain +1 to their agility as they climb and monkey around. Each of the 52 bars are capable of supporting up to 150 lbs. in weight when secured with the included snap-in connectors, meaning small sized moms can join in the fun as well. Thanks to the sturdy PVC plastic construction, the Instant Geodesic Dome is lightweight, and it will not rust, peel, or become too hot or cold to the touch as seasons make their mark.
