I know in the winter walking by the front door in the morning can be pretty cold on the feet because of the draft coming under the door. This gadget should eliminate all hot or cool air loss through the door, depending on the season.

The draft guard consists of two pieces of foam covered with tough, durable fabric. The foam is the same foam we Canadians insulate pipes with, so you know it has to be good! The fabric is also easily removed so it can be easily washed.

I think this gadget would be really neat for outdoor gettogethers or providing unoffensive light where you need it. The Glow Stone by day looks like a normal stone lying in your yard, however by night it becomes a motion-sensing, glowing stone.

The Glow Stone is equipped with a motion sensor on one side of it which can detect motion within 12 feet so you have to make sure you have it pointing towards the most active area. It only will attempt to turn on when it is dark out, and only is activated for 15-30 seconds when it detects movement (unless of course there’s constant movement) so it is very energy efficient.

I think this gadget could be very useful considering its size and where you would be using it. The USB Powered Mini Vacuum Cleaner is pretty self explanatory. With so many little cracks and crevices all around your computer, this gadget would be extremely helpful to keep a tidy workspace.

If you enjoy listening to music while your out on the veranda but you don’t want big ugly speakers around your flower beds then this is the solution, planter speakers.

Each planter contains a 125-Watt Outdoor speaker so you can confuse your guests with them wondering where the music is coming from or you could be really sneaky and make them think you have talking and singing flowers :).

Available from Smart Home for $249.95.

This gadget could be the ultimate toy for all the lazy iPod fans out there. The iJoy ZipConnect Massage Chair has built-in speakers and sub woofer to surround you with sound while you relax in your massage chair.

Here in the United States, a lot of people don’t get the concept of a bidet and that’s a shame. To me, it’s a simple equation: when “cleaning up” with mere toilet paper and one suffers a little accident by way of “poo poo” on the finger does one just wipe that finger off? Of course not! You wash, with water and soap. Why must the buttocks suffer the slings and arrows of crass paper while the digits enjoy a nice soapy washing? 

Like many Americans I was blissfully unaware of the incredible array of toilet technology until that master thespian Paul Hogan showed me the light in his landmark epic “Crocodile Dundee.” When the lovable lout Dundee stumbled upon a bidet in the fancy hotel and quickly figured out its use, the bathroom scales fell from my eyes.
