Most gadgets can be equally enjoyed by both genders but this one is definitely aimed at the ladies, the Miss Army Kit Knife (I’m sure it’s coincidence but it looks remarkably similar to the popular Swiss Army Knife).

Most blokes I know manage to carry all of a days essentials (money and keys) in one pocket (two at most) whilst my female friends don’t go anywhere without a bag packed to the gunnels with stuff they insist are essential, examples being make up for all occasions, bag of tissues, keys to every lock in the house, keys to every lock in their mothers house, switched off mobile phone, diary from 1998, the list goes on (and on and on).

Anyway getting back to the Miss Army Knife gadget. Instead of having lots of different blades and the compulsory (but often useless) saw the Miss Army Knife manages to squeeze in the following “essential” everyday appliances

• Mirror
• Flashlight
• Scissors
• Nail File
• Tweezers
• Pen
• Pill Box
• Perfume Bottle
• Knife
• Ruler
• Bottle Opener
• Screwdriver
• Corkscrew
• Safety Pin
• Needle and Thread
• Key Chain

You could always get this for your mum as it is Mothers day in the US this week end (14th May 2006). Available from Firebox.
