Sanrio announces two Hello Kitty Digital Picture Frames
Although I’d like to get it out of the way that I do not under any circumstances enjoy Hello Kitty products and think that grown women look silly using them, this would be a great gift for a young girl. After all, kids are becoming far more tech savvy than their parents, so they might as well enjoy technology such as this as well. Having around a digital picture frame would give them the ability to display a lot of photos without the clutter of a lot of picture frames. The only downside to this is that someday they may outgrow their Hello Kitty phase.

Minus Trashcan Concept eliminates trashcan odor
It’s funny that I should come across this trashcan now, since I just this morning remembered that I tossed a touch of raw meat into the trashcan two days ago. Two days old raw meat that sits in room temperature makes for a charming smell in the kitchen. Even after I took the trash bag out, the damage was done, so now my kitchen has a fairly strong odor to it that will take a little while to go away. Now, if I had this trashcan around, none of this would have ever happened. The food wouldn’t have spoiled so quickly and I wouldn’t need a face mask to toss things into the trash.

The Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
When you’re lazing about in the pool, that is the one time you should never ever be lacking music. Without music, you’re left listening to your own thoughts or even worse, birds. We all know that’s no fun and not fulfilling in the least. You need music to play and loudly. Well with this speaker around you can float it right alongside of you and never have to worry about getting out of the water to crank the volume. Just add a little alcohol to the mix and you have the perfect at home vacation.

Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat
Summer’s here, so why not make the necessary preparations in advance for your kid to enjoy their summer in the great outdoors instead of spending their time cooped up at home right smack in front of the video game console? The Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat should make for a welcome distraction to Mario and Metal Gear Solid, offering your little one that there is more to life than just achieving a high score or pounding baddies to submission via the video game controller.
This is the inflatable speedboat that provides a safe 2 mph speed on calm water, such as pools or small ponds (play the video). The outboard electric motor is controlled by a child sitting in the inflated hull–a handhold with a finger trigger turns the motor on or off immediately; the boat can accommodate two children at once. The motor drives a shrouded propeller with no exposed blades that provides smooth movement over calm water; the motor can be turned 360°, so even backward movement is possible. Requires eight D batteries that provides up to five hours of operation. Deflates for off-season storage. Hull constructed from 3mm thick PVC. Supports up to two children (or 100 lbs.)
This is one $99.95 toy that is worth considering if you want to get your kid to obtain a tan this summer!
Nexus Drive Solar Pro
Driving with one hand one the wheel while the other is used to hold a cellphone is a big no-no, as it distracts you greatly from your task, and this is where the Nexus Drive Solar Pro is here to help – it is a Bluetooth solar-powered speakerphone that not only lets you keep both hands on the wheel, it also allows you to carry out a conversation over the cellphone legally.
The Bluetooth Car Kit comprises a sleek black car speakerphone that mounts to your car’s windscreen via suction cups and ensures you stay safe and legal when driving, without ever missing an important phone call. The Bluetooth Car Kit comes with a variety of charging options, including USB and via your car’s cigarette lighter, but the most notable is the powerful built-in solar panel. Just two hours in daylight provides one hour of talk time, which is largely thanks to this environmentally-friendly car speakerphone using less energy than standard devices. With your phonebook transferred to your car speakerphone you can also make use of the handy Text-to-Speech feature which speaks the name/number of any incoming calls so there’s no need to take your eyes off the road. Save energy and talk for longer with the Bluetooth solar powered speakerphone!
This nifty little green device will cost you £44.95 – we love the fact that there is no need to worry about whether the batteries are charged or not before we head out for our destination since the good old sun will do its part in keeping this juiced up.
The Jewel Guitar Necklace USB Drive
This is one of the rare USB drive necklaces that I didn’t envision some elderly secretary wearing around her neck. This one could almost appeal to the glam rocker type instead of the older crowd. Although it’s definitely not subtle, since it’s yet again covered in crystals, it does at least have a guitar shape to it. It’s yet again attached to a chain so that you can wear it as a necklace and always have it on hand.
