Spread Heads for zany moments at home

October 27th, 2009 by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

spreadheadWant to introduce some laughter to your home? The Spread Heads collection will be a prime choice, where we have covered some of them in the past before. Among them include Ketchup Charlie, Mustard Marvin, Toothpaste Pete and Toothpaste Oscar, where they retail from $4.49 to $4.99. Of course, we’re wondering when will they come up with a BBQ sauce version under this brand.

Hanging Flashlight Lamps

October 26th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets

flashlight-lamps

Usually people do their best to keep their flashlights out of sight.  Be it that they stay out in the garage or the top drawer in the kitchen, they usually stay hidden.  Well if you’re not one that feels the need to keep a flashlight tucked away, you might like these strange pendant lights.  They’re perfect for anyone that is tired of the usual shape lights seem to take.  Of course, getting items with a quirky design always seem to cost a bit more.

Voice Activated Crib Light with Womb Sounds

October 26th, 2009 by Edwin in Childrens Gadgets, Home Gadgets

crib-lightIt has been a long nine months before your bundle of joy popped out, and now you have to grapple with the issues of parenthood with your spouse. Sometimes, you tend to end up at work as a zombie due to the lack of sleep as your little one keeps on crying throughout the night. The Voice Activated Crib Light with Womb Sounds might be of some help for new and desperate parents.

Strap it to your baby’s crib and it will monitor for noise coming from your child. Enough cranky will turn the unit on – and that’s when the magic happens. Soothing womb sounds (actual recorded womb music) and three colored lights cycle on for ten minutes the moment it hears your baby cry. They’re the perfect combination to ease your baby into slumberland – which means you can get back to sleep, too.

Do you think it is worth forking out $14.99 for this bad boy? Certainly beats paying the pharmacist some money for over-the-counter sleeping pills…

Wearable Hummingbird Feeder

October 26th, 2009 by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Pet Gadgets

eye2eyeThe Wearable Hummingbird Feeder which is also known as “eye 2 eye”, was specially formulated to help you get up close and personal with the way a hummingbird feeds. Based on a full-face face shield, you don’t have to worry about having your eyes pecked out while you see your pet hummingbird feast right in front of your face.

Using and enjoying the feeder is a two step process. The first is to acquaint the hummingbirds with the feeder. We set an old can of paint on a small shelf on the side of the barn and slipped the feeder onto the can. It wasn’t long before the hummingbirds found it, and after a little searching, found the feeding station. (See the Longer Video for how this happened.) Then we let them get familiar with the feeder for a few days. Finally we set a chair next to the shelf, removed the feeder from the can, slipped it on and waited. One never forgets the first time a hummingbird suddenly arrives at the feeder right in front of your eyes. It is truly an awesome experience! (Definite adrenaline rush!) There you are, just sitting there, when WHOOSH a hummingbird jumps into your vision as if by magic! Definitely a treat.

Definitely a treat if you want to introduce your little ones to the wonderful world of nature and all that live in it, where the Wearable Hummingbird Feeder is currently going for $79.95 each.

Kandle Heeter Candle Holder

October 25th, 2009 by Edwin in Home Gadgets

candle-heaterCheck out the Kandle Heeter Candle Holder which will actually collect, retain, concentrate and radiate dry space heat from a candle, although there is a tiny catch to it all – one must use a jar candle or a new GlowWarm Electric Candle to get it going. Do take extra precaution not to place it anywhere near curtains, bedding or other flammable materials. Before we go any further, here’s a science lesson on how it works…

Heat is collected and concentrated in the steel and ceramic radiator. The Multi-Core Steel and Ceramic Radiator is suspended above a jar candle on a Three Legged Steel Stand so that the Solid Steel Inner Core is directly above the flame. The Radiator Assembly is secured to the Stand with Solid Brass Chains. The jar candle sits in two Interlocking Ceramic Saucers. Steel has the ability to approach the temperature of its heat source, so the Steel Inner Core is driven to Very High Temperatures (500-550 deg. Fahrenheit) by the burning candle flame (550-600 deg. F.) and becomes a very hot Internal Thermal Mass. The intense heat of the Steel Inner Core is transferred into the Three Ceramic Modulators, one into the other. The High Inner Temperatures are gradually reduced by the Increasingly Thicker Walls and Larger Surface Area of the modulators. The outer surface of the radiator becomes a Dry Heat Radiating Body with surface temperatures of 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit and a surface area of Over 88 Square Inches. The Heat from a Candle is effectively Transferred into your Home or Office! Amazing!

Guess with the cold winter season ready to be upon those of us who happen to live in the northern hemisphere, one might want to check out the viability of getting the Kandle Heeter Candle Holder for their homes. After all, every little bit in helping save electricity use helps cut down greenhouse emissions, which is always a good thing.

Slotless Toaster offers new design

October 25th, 2009 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

slotless-toasterToasters are often taken for granted that when a totally new design comes about, not many people would even notice. This model does not come with a couple of cavities to hold your bread – no sir, the Slotless Toaster is as described, where there are no slots available for you to get that perfectly brown toast, ready and waiting to be spread by some marmalade or jam.

Since bread is placed directly on the heated flatbed surface – not inside narrow slots, you can toast thick bagels or croissants, Texas toast, or baguettes. The unit has a 700-watt heating element that radiates through the 10 1/4″ x 7″ stainless-steel surface, browning or defrosting bread quickly and evenly. You can select your preferred level of browning with the turn of a dial and the under-mounted crumb tray slides out for fast, easy cleanup. When not in use, the slotless toaster can be stored on its side, freeing up valuable counter space.

Sounds like a dream come true for those who love having a perfect, piping hot slice of toast each morning, although you will need to make a $89.95 investment in the first place.

Basalte comes out with the fancy Mona Light Switch

October 25th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets

6a00d8341c5dea53ef0120a6681f07970c-800wi

Light switches have had the same boring design for many years.  The only way it can be changed up is typically to add a decorative light switch cover and usually those look incredibly cheesy.  Which means it’s best to just attempt to make the switch blend in with its surroundings.  Well now you have another option and yes, it is actually something that’s available for purchase.
