Petron Fun Hand Bow
I never get tired of watching Braveheart over and over again – that is just one movie that is worth diving into, with all the love, passion, intrigue and well, for the more bloodthirsty audience, battles. No pansy pilot-less drones bombing targets who wield nothing but sticks and stones for protection – here is what unbridled testosterone is all about, with the Petron Fun Hand Bow.
Archers of yore were useful in cutting down an advancing army in size, but when the line of defense gets breached, archers are in deep trouble – unless you’re Legolas who is also a skilled close quarter combat participant. Well, relive those Braveheart moments with the £11.99 Petron Fun Hand Bow, where it relies on lightweight plastic arrows to hit the target. These projectiles will feature suckers on its tips, which means it ought to stick onto most smooth surfaces without missing a beat.
X2 Water Blaster
Since we are right smack in the middle of summer, surely the rising temperatures will send you to cool off somewhere at a retreat, or perhaps for you to take up the sport of swimming, and even chilling out at a nearby waterfall. For those who have kids who do not want to go out and smell the flowers, but prefer to remain cooped up at home, enjoying the latest video game, here is the £9.99 X2 Water Blaster to help entice them to do so.
This device is actually a 2-in-1 blaster – not only does it send streams of water at your target, it will also be able to shoot foam darts. The working range for foam darts stand at 35 feet to soften up your opponent from afar, while it also has a 30 foot range for its jet of water. Splat or splash – it really depends on how merciful you are feeling that particular day, just make sure you have good aim.
Too bad there are only four foam darts to play with, and you have got to collect them once they’ve been fired. Best to just stick to the water option which comes in a removable water clip.
FINIS introduces AquaPulse Heart Rate Monitor
They say that swimming is one of the better sports to get yourself involved in – after all, there is no impact on your joints, and you get a total body workout. Even better is this – you will end up as hungry as a horse right after your exercise since you’ve burnt up so many calories in the process, making you look slim and trim in no time at all. For those performance enthusiasts who want to make sure that they maximize their fitness regime via swimming, FINIS might have just the thing for you – the AquaPulse Heart Rate Monitor.
This is an interesting device since it is an audible version of a heart rate monitor. Small enough to fit into your goggle strap, all you need to do is attach the soft rubber clip to your earlobe, and take to the water like a duck. The infrared sensor is able to pick up your heart beat via your earlobe by capillary activity. Such information will then be relayed to you in real time audibly, now how about that?

Sony HD-PG5 external hard drive
To hear the name Sony associated with the world of external hard drives is something not everyone has come across – in fact, many of us would be wondering, just what the heck is Sony doing in the world of portable storage?

To know more about what the Sony HD-PG5 is capable of, you can always check out the extended post.

SensoGlove helps improve your swing
If you are a huge fan of golfing, and practice your swings religiously, surely you are always on the lookout for something better to help reduce your overall score. It can be said that the game of golf does subscribe to the adage “practice makes perfect” in some way, but not 100%. After all, once you have conditioned your muscles to swing in a certain way, correcting or improving that swing could prove harder than expected.
Well, good thing there are tools out there which might help you improve your swing to a reasonable level. We are looking at the £49.99 SensoGlove, where it was specially constructed from ground up to help you improve your game. After all, the right grip goes a long way in the make up of a perfect swing, and a slight miscalculation or overexertion of strength might send the ball flying far from where you intended.

Smartfish Whirl Mini Wireless Mouse with matching Mouse Pad Travel Pouch
We have written about the Smartfish Mouse Pad Travel Pouch before, and it was made for products like the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse.
I got a chance to try them both out. I can honestly say that I like the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse with its patented ErgoMotion pivot system. The company says that it is like “floating in air”, and the mouse tilts to adapt to your wrist, which helps eliminate static joint pain.
The Mouse Pad Travel Pouch is also handy, as it can zip up to become a pouch for the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse. When unzipped, the Pouch becomes a 9-inch diameter mousepad, which is also handy for when your mouse doesn’t react well to your table surface.

FIJIT Friends targets the fairer sex
They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but we suppose that claim holds true only after the poor girl has been jilted numerous times, and got her heart broken for the umpteenth moment. This might lead to her release stress via retail therapy, but how many diamonds can one actually afford before scraping the bottom of the financial barrel? Why not settle for something far more affordable – but equally engaging and mesmerizing as a diamond (to look at anyways), which comes in the form of the FIJIT Friends?
This £54.99 pre-order are adorable to look at, where it boasts some rather realistic skin that can be ‘squished’ if you so desire, and FIJIT Friends will even dance to any tune which reaches their “ears”. Not only that, they can perform their own songs, make a joke, and even chat with you to help you chase away those Monday blues. Heck, they might even be more responsive than Fido with the ability to react intuitively to your voice, boasting the intelligence to identify more than 30 commands and responding with over 150 phrases.
Best of all is? You can shut down the FIJIT when it gets too yappy, where the same cannot be said of your best pal or husband.
