Rechargeable Cordless Heated Insoles
Since those of us living in the northern hemisphere are about to feel winter’s cold fingers wrap around us pretty soon, it makes perfect sense to once again bring out all the winter wear in order to keep ourselves nice and warm despite the dipping mercury. For those who feel that the standard pair of wool socks are not enough, here is something which might go some way in helping warm you up from the inside – the $99.95 Rechargeable Cordless Heated Insoles.
The name itself gives the game away – but bear in mind that this will be very different from your typical heated insoles that sport cumbersome external battery packs. No sir, these heated insoles will instead be powered by undetectable, embedded rechargeable batteries. The insoles will come lined with wafer-thin lithium-ion cells and carbon fiber heating elements that are able to maintain a heat level from 88º F to 106º F so that your feet remain toasty warm for up to six hours.
Each purchase includes a key chain-sized wireless remote control that allows you to adjust the temperature of the insoles to three different levels, in addition to turning them on or off, of course. Capable of molding to your feet in just a matter of hours, the six-layer design delivers a shock-absorbing, ergonomic polyurethane base and a layer of heat-retaining synthetic fabric. Any takers?
Chick-a-Dee Smoke Detector
You can never tell when a fire is going to begin – it is just one of those things in life, but this is where being prepared comes in handy. Every home should have a fire escape plan for all the family, in addition to a fire extinguisher as well as smoke detectors. Instead of getting a boring looking smoke detector, why not chic things up with the £34.99 Chick-a-Dee Smoke Detector? Yes sir, this unique smoke alarm will certainly shed the tags of being boring and ugly, where it resembles a bird on a twig instead.
It seems to be the perfect tool for any room in your home, where it will not issue a real life Chickadee mating call when it detects smoke – but instead will wake the dead up with an 85db alarm signal upon detection of some smoke in the room. There is a 1.5-year battery life with each device, and a test button will definitely help you make sure everything is in fine working operation. Should the battery die off, an alarm signal will be played so that you can do the necessary. Any takers?
Digital Spoon Measure
Since the whole world has become far more digitized today than ever before, it makes perfect sense for digital technology to permeate different parts of our life – including those at home, and especially for folks who love cooking, in the kitchen. While it might take years of experience to more of less figure out just how much salt or a particular condiment needs to be included in a dish, beginners would be greatly aided if they had some sort of tool – such as the £19.99 Digital Spoon Measure.
The name itself tells it all – it will eliminate the guesswork involved from all those “tsps” and “tbsps”, where it can measure just about anything – powders, granules, gels and liquids up to a generous 300g (or 10.58oz). Since it comes with a couple of interchangeable scoops, it doesn’t matter whether you are dealing with teaspoons or tablespoons. Just make sure you have a couple of AAA batteries around just in case it runs out of juice.
Star Trek Enterprise Light-Up Feeding System
You grew up watching Star Trek on your TV, and did keep your fingers crossed that one day, you will be able to pass on the love for the sci-fi franchise down to your next generation. Well, now that you’re married and all with a kid in tow, here’s your chance. Inculcate the early doctrines of Star Trek through subtle use of items around your kid, such as the $24.99 Star Trek Enterprise Light-Up Feeding System.
After all, feeding a toddler is not an easy taks, as he/she tends to be extremely distracted, and sometimes when you’re tired, you do not want a lengthy feeding session since there are still a thousand and one other chores to finish up. Not with the Star Trek Enterprise Light-Up Feeding System in tow though, since it will definitely capture the attention of your geekling, and guide all the food straight to his/her mouth without any problem. Batteries in the in plane are replaceable, although the ones in the bib are not.
T-Shirt Folder makes it a snap
The traditional roles at home have become somewhat intertwined – husbands these days also do the cooking and cleaning, while wives might have a hand at repairing that irritating leak. Still, when it comes to folding shirts, guys seem to have it tougher – it is as though something inside the brain cannot click to come up with perfectly folded clothes that are even on all sides. Nice to know that there is a gadget to address this issue in the form of the £14.99 T-Shirt Folder.
The name says it all, doesn’t it? Instead of spending time without any help to gain experience in folding clothes neatly, you can take shortcuts (some call it efficiency) with this unique device of sorts. Place the T-Shirt Folder (which is actually a plastic mat) on a table or any other flat surface where you are comfortable to work on, lay a loose T-shirt on top, and fold away. All the grooves on the T-Shirt Folder will allow you to flip both sides of your T-shirt inwards, one after the other.
The final and third fold will bring the base of your T-shirt in line with the neck, and you’re good to go – all in a neat and tidy package. If you want to stash away the T-Shirt Folder, it is easily foldable as well.
Motorized Inversion Table
Since we live in an era where most things are motorized or at least have some sort of robotics function built-in, don’t you think it makes sense to have a Motorized Inversion Table as well for fitness buffs? This rather unique inversion table will be able to gently recline and return to its upright position at the touch of a button. Just what benefits does inversion therapy bring to the table? For starters, it helps alleviate back pain through the decompression of the spine, helping relieve pressure on nerves as well as realign the ligaments that support the back.
There is also an adjustable rotation control to make sure you are able to achieve your ideal angle of incline, even being completely inverted if you will, in a single, smooth motion driven by the quiet motor. In addition to that, the vented, injection-molded plastic bed will further reduce friction in order for the body to readjust itself comfortably. Hammacher’s offering also throws in patented padded ankle closures to the mix so that your legs can be held securely. If you decide to go manual, just turn off the motor and you’re good to go.
The asking price? We’re looking at a rather hefty $1,500.
StarBath helps you soak up the atmosphere
While some of us love waking up early and greeting the day with the rising of the sun, others prefer a more subdued way of being in ‘the zone’, especially when dusk falls and the stars come out to dance all over the night sky. There is just something indescribable about the peaceful feeling one experiences when seated on the verandah, looking up into a clear night sky. For those who prefer the warmth of their bedrooms and yet do not want to draw the curtains open to look out the window, there is the £34.99 StarBath.
Basically, the StarBath is a tiny planetarium that is capable of projecting the Milky Way and thousands of stars right up on your ceiling, letting you relax under their perceived twinkling – while you remain nice and toasty under that comfort blanket of yours. As it is battery-powered, there is no need to mess about with a power cable, although I would recommend getting rechargeable AAA batteries if you’re going to use this often.
Up to 10,000 stars are displayed via its LED, where it has a projection distance of 150cm to 230 cm, while sporting a projection range of around 100cm in diameter. I suppose by the time the quartet of AAA batteries run out (3 hours thereabouts), you would have fallen asleep already.
R2-D2 Nutcracker
You know that Star Wars is one of the most profitable movie franchises to date – just check out the kind of merchandise that this particular series boasts and look me in the eye, telling me that George Lucas isn’t one of the richer people around. The guy hasn’t milked this particular cash cow dry, with his latest (non-viewable) efforts resulting in the £32.99 R2-D2 Nutcracker.
We all know that R2-D2 is one of the hardier droids around, having escaped from many a tight situation without missing a screw. Well, this time around, the little droid that could has expanded his repertoire of tricks to one that scorned ladies love – being a nutcracker. After all, with the festive season coming upon us in just a couple of months, it makes perfect sense for this astromech droid to crack nuts in just seconds despite coming in a 7″ frame.
