If you enjoy eggs and toast for breakfast then this has got to be the toaster of choice, the egg poaching toaster.

The egg poaching toaster will simultaneously tan your toast and cook your egg with a cooking time of 4 minutes. I never have time to cook breakfast in the morning so if I could load this up the night before and set it on a timer then I would eat at least one hot meal a day.

This is a neat looking little ornament, it may look like a low tech wooden toy helicopter but it’s rotors are also solar panels. Leave the solar powered helicopter in sunlight and it’s rotors will spin around. They’ll never spin around fast enough for it to take off (shame) but it’s still pretty cool.

Got a spare bit of garden you which you’re not sure what you’re going to do with? Then have you considered having a bespoke kid’s playground or perhaps a junior assault course? If so, have a look at Arrow Fencing. Just imagine the absolute joy on your children’s faces when you unveil their new play area (of course the adults will have to try it out first!)

If you find putting up your patio umbrella too much like hard work then you’ll want one of these remote controlled umbrellas. Goes up or down by the flick of a switch, crazy!

Available from Smart Home.

This is a different idea that lets you show off your extension cables rather than hiding them, the Electrici-tree.

I saw the patio misting system over on Uber Review which is cool but static (it gets hot at the end of my garden too, 4 days a year). If you need a mobile cooling system you can get a misting fan.

It boosts to reduce the temperature by up to 25 degrees and covers 950 square feet which is more than ample for my BBQ area and would probably cover the rest of my garden.

Available from Smart Home for just over $100, which in the UK would probably work out at $25 per day for how often we’d need it.

These cute little figures could leave you in a quandary, do you keep them or plant them. The eyes on each figure are actually seeds and the body contains nutrients to help it grow. You can get a melon, tomato or pumpkin. Plant them or keep them, you decide
