Cool Gadgets

I know you’ve probably watched dozens of commercials about aerobeds…and I know they’re irritating and everything, but I still wanted to show you one of those. No matter how much you hate those beds you can’t deny that they do have their strengths. And everyone’s been in a situation where a spare bed is needed – some unexpected guests have showed up, you’ve moved in a new place that is still unfurnished, your parents have already turned your room into fitness…just some ideas where you’ll be happy to have one of those. Check out the bed’s features and we’ll talk again:
• An inflatable guest bed of standard double bed size and height.
• Your bed inflates in just 3 minutes.
• The bed deflates in 1 minute.
• An integrated motor that charges form the mains.
• A remote to adjust the bed’s firmness.
• Machine washable fleece cover and valance.
• Packs down into an easily stowed carry bag.
• Supports a combined weight of up to 204kg.
• Suitable for ages 14 years+.
• Requires a mains adaptor (UK adaptor included).
• Size: 188 x 137 x 61cm.
It’s not something you wanna miss out. And for those of you who doubt the durability – those things are tortured with some of the worst things that can happen and I’m pretty sure they’ve passed all tests before finding a place on the market. Well, there’s nothing like a real bed, but sometimes situations force us to look for alternatives – this is just the perfect alternative.

Message boards used to be boring…remember them - white with black pen attached (or black with chalk once when we were kids), but not anymore (have you noticed the tendency that everything that used to be boring once, now get’s colorful and funny). Now we have the lighted message board, which not only looks cool, but is also kinda impossible to miss seeing. I bet it happened to you, too – there’s a message on the board left for you (sometimes it can even be some very important message), but you’re just too busy or in most of the cases too absent-minded so you just pass it by without even noticing it. It get’s worse…imagine that you left the important message and the other person miss seeing it…it can ruin your day. Well, that is never gonna happen with the lighted message board – it’s just way too colorful to miss. So write the message you wanna leave, switch the LED lights and go out without the concern that it’s just the next message left in vain. This thing can be a lifesaver. Check out the original description:
•  Write on the screen of this funky acrylic notice board with one of the 2 special pens provided, then switch on the LED lights.
•  Select single color or multi-color mode, with changing or blinking lights.
•  Hangs on wall like a picture.
•  12¼” x 9½” x ⅝” (31 x 24 x 1.6cm).
•  3 AAA batteries or mains adapter, not included

This is not the first dog bed we’re showing you but we think it’s nice to have some variety in the products although they are almost the same. What’s different in this dog bed is that it’s mostly made for your car (it’s still gonna work if you use it at home, though). So if you’re one of those dog owners who like long rides and often travel that way, you may wanna spoil your precious a little bit and get him/her one of those. The SUV Heated Dog Bed sits in the back of your vehicle and provides a comfortable, and warm place for your dog to lie during those long car trips. You’ll have to run the electrical cord all the way up to your cigarette lighter, but other than that, it’s a piece of cake to install. It’s made of orthopedic foam padding with a waterproof liner and a stain and scratch-resistant removable nylon cover. The thingy doesn’t come cheap - $190, but I’m pretty sure it’s the only way to make your dog love you more (if you think that’s impossible why don’t you get the bed and see for yourself). Actually now that I think about it that bed is also a pretty good way of getting rid of the dog hair that seems to stick everywhere once Fluffy gets in the car. It’s up to you though.

I can think of so many boring situations, places to be and things to possess – like being stuck behind your desk for 8 hours in the office, or in that never-ending literature class in school  and don’t even start me on the large-scale-production goods every one of us is forced to have. To brighten a little bit those situations, places and possessions you all need those waterproof stickers. I know it sounds kinda childish, but after all we’re all aiming at making our life a little more interesting and fun – who’s gonna teach us how better than the kids. For just $5 bucks you get 124 stickers or just enough of them to equip every single one of your office appliances, textbooks or even sneakers with crazy eyes and curved smiles. Let the kid in you get creative make those around you smile every time they pass your desk. Next time you’re bored and all you wanna do is escape in a land far, far away remember my anti-boredom suggestion…find the stickers in your desk drawer and stick, stick, stick.

There are so many things (toys and gadgets) those days that help the new parents raising their babies that I just can’t help myself feeling sorry for our parents and their parents for the lack of that that help. Duh…for those of you who don’t have kids just try and imagine the sleepless nights, the complete mess, the constant need of attention. And what about the noise the little guys make…sometimes I wonder how such tiny thing can out scream my stereo…horrible. And for those of you who have kids and are right now dealing with the above-mentioned situations – I think you’re the ones that deserve this review the most. If you wonder what the Lullabub is – it is something you’re gonna thank me for till the rest of your life (or better thank the guy that actually invented it – his name is Christopher Mitchell and he’s from Australia). Lullabub is a remote controlled rocking system for a baby’s crib. I know it sounds crazy, but it is…and it works. It will help rock your baby to sleep gently without having you to expend whatever little energy you think you have left. The device consists of four pieces that are placed under each leg of most cribs, rocking them automatically. You can even choose from four movement choices - mother’s womb, mother’s heartbeat (no idea how that works), a boat on the water or a car ride. The Lullabub has a 30-minute timer which I think is absolutely enough to put even the most stubborn child to sleep. And if yours proves to out stubborn it…I really don’t think there’s anything out there to help you.

There’s only one thing that you can hate about the winter time – the cold of course. I just hate being cold. But then I also hate wearing two sweaters, thick pants and two pair of socks at the same time. But it’s always one or the other. I’ll tell you what I find out recently that solves the “cold” problem…at least at your working place anyway where it’s kinda inappropriate and embarrassing to wear those two pair of socks - the Foot Warmer Mat. See what the manufacturers have to say about it:
“Warmth from this unique rubber floor mat travels upward, circulating around your feet and legs so you stay comfortable while you work. It fits neatly and discreetly under a desk or in front of a workstation…and it won’t cause your electric bill to spike!”
The thing works like charm, trust me. And if you’re not sick hearing it from your grandmother let me tell you what mine’s always chiding about – keep your feet warm or soon you’ll keep the bed that way. And don’t you hate it when they’re always right?

Pleo is the name of this absolutely amazing mechanic pet you can have. Or at least Pleo is his original name and you can call him however you want once he’s yours. But what makes Pleo different from all the other robotic pets out there? Besides being a dinosaur (we’re more used to robotic cats and dogs as pets) every single Pleo is unique. For real – every single one has a different personality and behavior and what it is depends entirely on you. Pleo begins his life as newly hatched Camarasaurus and according to how much time you spend with him and how you treat him he develops his personality – just like a real pet of yours. This is all thanks to his super-advanced internal sensory system that is full with receptors for sight, sound and touch, enabling him to move autonomously and explore his environment without requiring any remote control unit, making him so much more like a real pet than any old R/C robot. He has an internal battery which will give him an hours run from a four hour charge, and you’ll know when he needs ‘feeding’ as he’ll get tired and lazy - and possibly a bit irritable if he’s really hungry. You’ll really fall in love with this cutie – maybe not at first sight but once he blinks his eyes and comes sniffing you with his tiny dinosaur nose there’s just no way you don’t fall for him. He starts life as a baby, and his character will mature over time, how fast he develops and what sort of Pleo he becomes is entirely up to you. Make sure you treat him well as at one point he’ll really become a part of your family.
Features
• A newly “hatched” Camarasaurus ready to be nurtured.
• Your influence, attention and interaction shapes the Pleo’s ever-developing personality.
• Pleo has four different states: ‘Happy and Curious’, ‘Playful and Lively’, ‘Scared and Surprised’ and ‘Sad and Vexed’.
• These states are affected by how much time and fun you spend with Pleo and as he adjusts to his environment and gains confidence with his surroundings.
• Sensors on his chin, legs, back, shoulders and head.
• A tilt and shake sensor.
• Ground sensors.
• Infrared communication and interrupter.
• Binaural Microphones (so he hears in stereo).
• Front and rear speakers for his dino utterances.
• A in-built color camera.
• Requires a rechargeable internal battery (included).
• Suitable for ages 8 years+.
• Size: 52.5 x 28 x 15cm.

Are you laughing your lungs out right now? Looking at the thing’s face with that tissue in its nose…it took me a while to pull my self together after seeing it. I mean, I’ve seen some strange and funny tissue dispensers, but not something quite like this one. There was just no way I don’t share it with you. I know it’s kinda ugly looking and may not totally fit the surrounding of yours (unless your decorating in some Eastern Island style) but with measures 34 x 15 x 14cm you can be sure that it’s gonna be the center of attention in your home or office and all your friends are gonna love it. On the other hand you should probably stock up quite a quantity of tissue boxes for the demonstrations you’ll be making. Tissue anyone?

Those are two words that rarely go together…except in that story about the race between the rabbit and the tortoise and of course in those cartoon movies we all like so much. Luckily those little fellows look just like taken of some carton movie so we can easily call them turbo…although it’s gonna be a lot of sarcasm applied to the “turbo” word. What we’re really dealing with are two wind up racing Turbo Tortoises that actually race along at a snails pace. And if those are probably not the best thing to get to your kid as kids get bored easily, I bet you and your coworkers are gonna have a blast in the next office race you arrange. (I know, because we do). The thing is sometimes the coffee break may not be enough for the race to be completed, but if get your boss all nuts about the tortoise race too, you’ll be ok.

Think of one person who doesn’t think seals are cute. Can you? No? Of course you can’t…of all the animals out there seals are the cutest. Ok, that was a little harsh and I’m glad my dog can’t read…actually every baby animal is cute, but come on…baby seals just make you wanna hug them to death. And if this is not the smartest thing to do with the real thing (because mama is always watching, you know, and you may take away some seal teeth marks) you can hug those little thingies as much as you want…and notice – not only the baby seal but also its mommy, because they go as a pair. They’re as cute as real seals only cleaner, fluffier, softer and definitely less smelly than the real ones. With mommy approximately 60sm long and baby 32sm long this is the best present I could think about for your kid. And yes, you can have them separately, but looking at this picture will your hear allow you to separate them?
