G-Clip Compact 4-in-1 Golf Tool
Golfers have their fair share of gadgets too, you know, although the selection might be rather limited compared to a true blue geek. Well, if you are only allowed to purchase 3 gadgets for your golf hobby, then perhaps the £14.99 G-Clip Compact 4-in-1 Golf Tool should be made compulsory, never mind that it is relatively affordable. Not everything that is expensive is good and vice versa. After all, when 9 out of 10 PGA Tour Partners Members would recommend it, you know for sure that this is going to be one impressive gizmo. Just what do you do with it though?
For starters, this highly portable device comes with a built-in magnet that will hold your place markers, while a stainless steel divot tool will help repair and aerate greens. Not only that, it also doubles up as a club rest so that your grips remain dry, now how about that? A sprung holder is able to hold a couple of thick or thin tees of any length, while molded Velcro will securely hold your loose glove. Not only that, it will attach in a jiffy to your belt or waistband, being easily accessible whenever you need it.
Considering the fact that it tips the scales at a mere 1oz (28g), this seems to be the perfect gift for dad if he has made mom a golf widow. Perhaps it might just prove to be the tipping point for him to play more golf than he would want to, turning away from the game completely after that.
Drinking Extinguisher quenches your thirst
I realized something very true at the dinner table – no matter what kind of delicacies I shove down by throat as well as the array of drinks that slide down smoothly, nothing beats clean, cold water. There is just a refreshing feel to it, especially when so much of today’s food contain MSG that tends to induce thirst afterwards. Well, if you’re going to make sure the fire in your mouth is put out because you had one too many jalapenos in your pizza, how about doing it in style with the £17.99 Drinking Extinguisher?
Bear in mind that this is meant for drinking only and not to put out any fire in the vicinity – that would call for an actual fire extinguisher. Of course, this might also mislead the uninformed and clueless that it is OK to drink out of fire extinguishers, so make sure you influence those around you the right way. This drinking vessel seems to be the perfect thing to have around parties, and it will definitely put you on the cool list even amongst strangers. Each Drinking Extinguisher can hold up to 1500CC of life saving water – or your favorite poison, of course.
Norton Anti-Theft lets you lock down stolen or lost notebook
I remember the sinking feeling I had a couple of years ago when upon returning home and opening up my car’s trunk, I realized that my notebook was stolen. Not only that, this happened while I had dinner, and raced all the way back to the crime scene but the chances of recovering my stolen notebook is as high as that of the world ending next year. Having made a police report, my hope turned into a flicker and died out as I became another statistic.
Man, if only the Norton Anti-Theft Web service was available back then, where it allows one to remotely lock, locate and recover a lost or stolen Windows powered notebook, or to keep up with modern times, an Android powered smartphone or tablet. Norton Anti-Theft supports the Norton Everywhere initiative, which would further extend Norton’s security expertise and technologies to protect consumers no matter where they are regardless of device or platform.

Hercules XPS 2.0 30 DJ Club speakers
Ever heard of Hercules before? Sure you have, even if it is just the legendary deity who has unsurpassed strength, and has long been touted to be the ancestor of the Spartans. Well, this time around, the Hercules that we’re talking about has nothing to do with ancient legends, but it will still retain its strength and character as the company churns out audio products that are said to rock your world and bring the roof down.
Being a leader and pioneer in digital DJ controllers and a digital audio specialist, Hercules has introduced a renewed style of multimedia speakers in the form of the XPS 2.0 30 DJ Club.

Working Recycling Truck
Recycling is the way to go in this day and age. After all, being green is all the rage, and at least you get to preserve the earth for the next generation. If you want to get kids in your home to go green, you might as well begin with the basics – that is to have them recycle. Hence the $119.95 Working Recycling Truck that is actually a rear-loading recycling truck which will compact, store, and dump refuse – similar to the real deal.
Created by Bruder, renowned German toymakers for 85 years, it will come with a couple of 3.25″ x 2″ recycling bins which are dumped by hand into the truck’s hopper with a lifting grapple. Twist a knob on the Working Recycling Truck and a packer blade will kick into high gear that scoops debris into an internal storage compartment that allows it to hold up to 100″ cu. of crumpled paper or other small items.
I don’t think putting food items in there is going to work though, that might just stink up the whole place (or just your cubicle) as last week’s pizza starts to decompose.
Spooky Ice Planet Laboratory
If you think that you have the imagination of Geiger and can come up with something as creepy as aliens and other xenomorphs, then you might want to invest $19.99 in the Spooky Ice Planet Laboratory. This is one unique way of creating creepy crystalized creatures, and it also allows you to study the properties of crystals in this science kit itself. While anyone from as young as 10 is able to use this, I’m quite sure the older ones out there would also be able to have their fair share of fun with it as well.
Who says that you need to wait until Halloween to have your fun with creepy, spooky, and scary stuff? This crystal growing kit will allow those with a penchant for science to check out crystal properties while creating their own version of monsters. There is also a workbench tray that will hold all of the crystal making tools, not to mention molded wells for planting trees and situating sentinel bugs, a skeleton, and the Ice Lord himself.
A full-color Instruction Booklet is thrown into the mix to help you get started right out of the box, and even better news is this – there is no need for a fridge to get this going.
E FUN APEN A4 Digital Pen plays nice with Apple
Whenever a hardware or software developer works on something, they would do best to cater to just about the entire spectrum of consumers, and among them include Windows and Apple products. Well, E FUN does the iPhone and iPad right with the APEN A4 Digital Pen, where it makes note taking easier than ever before for owners of both Apple hardware. This will be an app-based accessory, where the APEN enables one to write freely on any paper or notebook, while having your notes get sent over simultaneously to your Apple product via a 30-pin cable.
Would have been great to have a wireless setup here with Bluetooth technology, but perhaps battery life might be a potential banana skin, so being tethered is the way to go right now. Imagine accessing your drawings as well as notes in just a few finger swipes, just remember to make a backup of whatever data that resides on your iPhone or iPad just in case something goes awry.

Kanex AirBlue Portable Bluetooth Music Receiver
This little disc that you see here is the Kanex AirBlue, and it is very similar to the Orb Music Player that I covered a few days ago.
It its own words, the Kanex AirBlue is a portable Bluetooth-based music receiver that enables a user to wirelessly play, listen and control all favorite media from an iDevice, smartphone, or any Bluetooth compatible device.
I got to try it out, and it involves pairing a phone with the AirBlue disc and plugging it into the speakers. The range is about 33 feet away, and it works with the “high fidelity and premium sound” that it advertises.
