The Sun Jar is an amazing invention that stores daylight and then releases it again when it gets dark. As the name suggests the
Sun Jar is basically just a jar, and looks like any other jar in your home, only most jars don’t spontaneously start to glow when it gets dark.
The sun Jar stores the power of the sun in a solar powered battery and then automatically switches on an energy efficient LED light at nightfall, glowing with the brightness of approximately 1 candle. Totally automatic and portable the Sun Jar can be easily moved around and used both inside and outside.
In order for the Sun Jar to work efficiently it needs to be placed in an open space in direct sunlight, such as a windowsill or outside. Dimensions are just 16cm x 10cm.
The Sun Jar makes a unique gift for friends or family members, especially for those people that like soft mood lighting.

Like Ice Cream? Enjoy playing ball? Then you’ll love this amazing gadget!
The ice cream ball lets you create your own delicious home made ice cream whilst playing ball at the same time. The ball itself contains 2 compartments, an outer compartment where you add ice and a little rock salt, and the inner compartment where you place your ice cream ingredients.
Once packed with ice and your ice cream ingredients simply start playing with the ball. As the ice cream ball rolls around the ice cream is cooled mixed inside, ready to cool you off after your game.
It takes about 20 minutes to make a pint of delicious ice cream, great for sharing with your friends. Now I must admit that the ice cream ball isn’t going to stand up to being kicked around, but can be rolled or shaken. A great novelty for parties and picnics, as it requires no electricity or batteries.
Always carry your favourite photos with you, with the latest in must have gadgets. Forget scissors and cutting up photographs to slip into a clear plastic key holder.
With the old style photo keychains, you could only display a max of 2 photos at any one time. As you would expect in today’s high-tech age the number of photo’s these new new bread of digital photo keychains can hold has been dramatically increased, from 2 to over 100 depending on model.
The average size of the LCD screen on these digital photo keychains is between 1.1 & 1.5in capable of displaying 128×128 pixels, and allow for either manual display of a single photo or a slide show of all your photos. Some also double as clock allowing you switch between time and photo mode.
Photos can be easily transferred via mini usb cable in multiple formats. The usb cable also doubles as a charging cable to recharge the internal battery.

Jigsaw puzzles have been with us for hundreds of years. Originally designed as educational tools, they soon became an enjoyable pastime with thousands of new designs being made. Pictures were either glued or painted onto wood, before being cut up into pieces with a fine saw. Later cardboard was used and with the advent of modern machinery jigsaws could be easily mass produced.
The one thing all these jigsaws had in common was that they were square or rectangular. Today however, jigsaw puzzle design has come a lot further and are now available in many different shapes.
Globe Shaped Jigsaw Puzzle
There are circular jigsaws, jigsaws cut into fish or butterfly shapes, ball shaped jigsaws where the picture is wrapped around a full 360 degrees and even full 3d sculpture type jigsaws.
These shaped Jigsaw Puzzles make a great alternative to the normal square or rectangle shaped flat jigsaws, giving them a whole new perspective.

Here we have a great novelty item that will add a touch of class to any office desk. The globe amazingly floats in mid air as if by magic.
Inside this stylish gadget is a mini computer that controls a magnetic field around the globe, making alterations at a rate of 16,000 times a second, ensuring a seamless levitation. If the power is cut or it’s unplugged then the globe snaps to either the top or the base, so you won’t be hunting around the floor for the globe in a power cut.
Floating Insight Globe Antique
There are two versions available, the standard metallic looking globe (pictured above) and the larger antique coloured version shown to the right.
If like me you hate getting up in the morning, and are always reaching for the snooze button, then this little gadget may well be the solution. This is an alarm clock with a twist.
The secret behind this waker-upper is a small ball attached to a propeller attached to the top of the clock. When the loud siren type alarm sounds, dragging you from your sleep, the ball and propeller launches itself into the air, to land somewhere in the corners of your room. The only way to then turn of the alarm is to drag yourself out of bed and find the propeller top, by which time you should be awake enough to go and find your breakfast.
The flying alarm clock would make a great gift for any family members or friends who struggleto get out of bed in the mornings. If you are an employer you could even give one to your employees, then they won’t have any excuses for oversleeping in the mornings.

This is the second electronic cigarette that I’ve decided to write about. The thing that sets this one apart from the previous one is that it comes in two parts instead of three. Where the previous cigarette had a separate atomiser with the GreenSmoke electronic cigarette the atomiser is built into the cartridge. This means that each new cartridge that you use has an fresh atomiser ensuring that it produces a good quantity of vapour.
The 2 parts of the Greensmoke electronic cigarette are the rechargeable battery and nicotine cartridge. When you inhale on the cartridge the battery heats the atomizer that then produces the nicotine vapour.
As there is no smoke produced by electronic cigarettes they can technically be smoked smoked anywhere. The smoke produced by real cigarettes is also the most harmful part of smoking, so by eliminating this you greatly reduce the health risks associated with smoking, although you are still taking in nicotine.
The cartridges themselves are available in various flavours from tobacco to coffe, and also have varying nicotine strengths from 16mg down to 0mg, so you can even use the electronic cigarette to wean yourself off of the nicotine habit, whilst still going through the motions of smoking. Usefull if it’s the physical habit that you find hardest to break.
If you are interested in one of GreenSmoke’s electronic cigarettes I have 2 discount voucher codes:
disc5-13814 gives you a 5% discount. disc10-13814 gives a you a 10% discount on orders above about £62 (It’s actually $100 as it’s an American based company)

The Sound Asleep Pillow is an ingenious idea for people that like to fall asleep to their favourite tunes without upsetting their partner, family or neighbours.
Embedded in the Sound Asleep Pillow is a quality speaker connected to a low profile cable with a standard 3.5mm jack at the end, for attaching to a music device. You would thing that having a speaker in your pillow would be uncomfortable, but apart from the cable running from the corner you wouldn’t notice any difference from a normal pillow.
The Sound Sleep Pillow can also be used instead of uncomfortable earphones and is great for travelling. Simply connect the cable to your phone, ipod, tv or any other device and place the pillow behind your head. Great for flights, long train or car journeys.

Remote control toys have always been a hit with the kids. When I was young these type of toys wee limited to cars and boats, limited to just forward and backward motion with the odd left and right turn thrown in. Anything else was out of the price range of most people or needed an acre or two of manoeuvring room.
But as you would expect in today’s hi-tec world things have moved on. Now remote control toys have to be able to hover and fly around all the space of your living room. First off there were indoor helicopters followed by various flying insects and aeroplanes.
Now there is a new breed of flying toy in the form of SkyBots. The SkyBot adds the missing element in the flying toy arena, and that’s the ability to have a laser shoot out in the air. The PicoZ Skybot Attack set comes with two twin channel flying robots each with it’s own independent controller.
Each robot is equipped with a laser and sensor pad ready for battle to commence. Hitting your components sensor pad with your laser, temporarily disables your opponents robot causing it to drop out of the sky. Great fun for quiet times in the office or for challenging friends and family from the comfort of your arm chair.
