Condiment Gun

Who ever thought you could possibly put together the words condiment and gun and come up with a gadget which will probably prove very popular at Christmas. Ever fancied yourself as a cowboy? A gunslinger? Or an assassin?

Now you’ll get the chance to show off what can do with this excellent Condiment Gun which comes with two “ammo” cartridges allowing you to choose your weapon. Then all you need to do is point, squeeze the trigger and an array of sauces and other condiments will literally be on a plate for you.

However the Condiment Gun will also prove a very useful tool to get the kids to eat a proper meal as it will take their minds off what they are actually about to eat. So next time you reach for your favourite sauce and there is a tiny bit at the bottom there is no need to wait until it dribbles onto your plate, simply load up your Condiment Gun aim and fire.

The only possible downside is if you mix your sauces, with the likes of mustard and other tangy options unlikely to go down well with a number of your meal guests!

Something different, yes, something useful, possibly, something for the kids?

Underwater Bath Light Show

It is difficult to know where to start with the Underwater Bath Light Show as it something which is both different but ingenious and will light up bath time for adults and kids all over the world. So what is it and what does it do?

As the name suggest, although you probably thought it was impossible, the Underwater Bath Light Show is literally that, a mat which you place on the bottom of your bath to bring bath time alive. A sparkling array of lights, colours of the rainbow all safe and secure in your very own bathroom. It may have been hard getting the kids into the bath before this, but you are likely to have more trouble getting them out after they catch a glimpse of the Underwater Bath Light Show!

The Underwater Bath Light Show will fill the floor of the standard bath and the fact it is only 0.1kg in weight has also allowed the manufacturers to give you the option of floating your Underwater Bath Light Show on the surface using their balancing cap.

You really do have to see this little beauty to understand what it is all about but one thing is for sure, bath time will never be the same again!

ATM Savings Bank Money Box

There can be few gifts as useful as the ATM Savings Bank Money Box. This little gem would make an ideal present for Christmas (or perhaps you could treat yourself?) for children and adults of all ages. Whether you are looking to save up for a holiday, next Christmas, your phone bill or your electricity bill the ATM Savings Bank Money Box could be just the job.

However, it does more than look good as it not only recognises the coins and notes which you deposit but it also comes with its own ‘bank card’ and pin number so that you can withdraw whenever you need some money. Interestingly, if you are saving up for a particular item just set the savings figure, insert your coins and notes as you get them and it will give you a running balance at the touch of a button.

It looks like a hole in the wall machine, it acts like a hole in the wall machine and the ATM Savings Bank Money Box is as safe and secure as one, offering something a little different to your everyday money box. So what excuse do you have not to save your money?

Shockolate Shocking Sweet Jar

As we move towards the festive period and all of the excess which that brings, many of us need protecting from ourselves when it comes to our intake of sweets, chocolate and all things fattening. Step forward the Shockolate Shocking Sweet Jar which could be the answer to your dreams (or your nightmares) and might be the best diet pan that you ever got involved in!

This ingenious jar is fitted with a timed locking device, which you can set, resulting in the jar of your favourite sweets being out of bounds for a set amount of time. However, if you fancy your chances at opening the jar before the time is up you will be in for a shock –literally!

Attempts to open the jar while it is locked down will result in a small, harmless, electric shock that will ensure your attempt to get your hands on your favourite sweets or chocolate will have to wait. However, there is also the added bonus that you will be able to protect you stash of sweets and chocolate from prying eyes and restless fingers which may belong to your family and friends!

While the Shockolate Shocking Sweet Jar may sound a little severe, the electric shock is mild and just enough to put off attackers.

Dyson DC24 and DC25 All Floors Vacuum Cleaner Review

This is a gadgets and gizmos first as we have never reviewed a vacuum cleaner before. However every now and then we come across something that really is innovative and deserves a mention. We have taken a closer look at the cleaner with a ball that has the suction of a cyclone.

In the past I had always believed all vacuum cleaners were the same and that spending more on one would really make a difference - I was wrong. We have tested the DC24 and DC25 Dyson machines to really prove you do get what you pay for.

Both cleaners benefit from the Dyson ball technology which make the cleaners much more maneuverable. The ball also houses the motor (the heaviest component) which improves the performance even more due to the low centre of gravity it produces.  Both cleaners also both use a turbine head (basically a spinning brush inside the vacuum head) which allows them to suck up even the most ground on the thickest carpet pile.

The DC24 and DC25 also both benefit from root cyclone technology which guarantees no loss of suction. During the last two months that we have used them this certainly has been true and we have used them a lot!  The air drawn in is forced through a filter (which has a life time guarantee and can be washed under the tap) that actually cleans the air in the room. When the air emerges from the exhaust it has been filtered to such a degree that it is clean again! This is amazing for allergy sufferers or people who generally dislike smelly vacuum air. Both cleaners perform well but are suited to different environments.

The two models in question do have some differences. The DC24 is smaller than the DC25 and is meant for appartments or small houses.  The DC24 has a removable collection bin of 0.85 litres and has a powerful air suction power of 120 watts. It works well on any floor and benefits from one touch brush control system which allows you to turn off the heads brush when on a smooth floor (such as tiles or hard wood). In other vacuum cleaners this is not possible and can lead to scratched floors - the Dyson does not have this problem and is truly versatile as it will keep suction on every floor surface.

 The DC24 has a collapsible handle which makes storing a breeze, this compact vacuum cleaner really is designed for the smaller home. I would say this machine would be ideal for someone who wants to keep their flat or small home sparkling clean. However if you have a larger home you will need to step up to the larger DC25.

The DC25 is a full size Dyson with a 1.5 litre collection bin meaning less emptying.  It also has a more powerful motor which delivers 220 air-watts of continuous suction. This makes it man enough for the largest of houses or offices.  It also has a nifty 16 foot hose which can be deployed quickly, this makes hoovering the stairs quick and painless. The DC24 and DC25 both have a nifty multi tool which allows users to reach any nook or cranny with ease.

We were very impressed with both models which both come with a five year warranty and as mentioned above are not the cheapest vacuum on the market.  However you do get what you pay for and these cleaners do exactly what they promise.

DC24 specifictation:

Dimensions	746 by 349 by 280 mm (HxDxW)
Weight	5.4 kg
Suction power	100 airwatts (constant)
Bin capacity	0.85 litres

Have you ever wished that you could take a step back in time, re-live the moment again? Well you can with this great little gadget, the Backwards Wall Clock!

This must be one of the craziest gadgets we have seen on the market for some time because as you look at the clock you know it looks different and then you realise, the numbers are on the opposite side to where they should be, the hours and minute hands move backwards and even the second hand goes in the wrong direction.

You will be surprised at the number of people who will look at clock, see something which they don’t understand and then finally realise exactly what it is. While we are not sure exactly what you would use the Backwards Wall Clock for, it makes a great conversation starter if nothing else!
