Washing and drying your hands has traditionally been a rather mundane, perhaps even dull, task. Part of the blame for this is down to the fact that few, if any gadgets, are involved in the process. Well, that is about to change, thanks to Dyson. The British firm has revealed to the world a sleek high speed hand dryer which also offers hot and cold water. It is called the Airblade Tap and is expected to cost around £1,000. Sir James Dyson is the man behind the company and he said that device would offer users a saving in the longterm when...

If you are a big fan of gadgets and an equally big fan of your bed then you might be wondering why beds have traditionally been less than well represented in the world of gadgets. Well, that could about to change by the look of this amazing aquarium headboard. It was custom built be the people at Acrylic Tank Manufacturers and costs over £7,000.

We looked at a Darth Vader lamp a few days ago, and blooming nice it was too. Who can resist lighting up their room with the help of the man formerly known as Anakin Skywalker?

This cheery little fellow doesn’t mind blasting out Star Wars themes and moving about your floor at 5am, 7am or even earlier if you want it. Some Sort of Princess Needs Help It lights...
Have you ever seen a goldfish circumnavigate the globe in your living room?

The project is called World Trip aquarium and was an entrant at this years Designboom’s TIFF awards. It’s an ultra modern table with clear shatter proof glass on the top and bottom sandwiching 3-Dimensional continents (note the UK is on the left and not in the middle of the world as we’d have it ;-)).

We get sent all sorts of quirky gadgets here at Gagdets and Gizmos towers, some are big and some are small. This week we received a new type of pen named FountainBall; a ballpoint pen which thinks it’s a fountain pen. At first glance it appears to be just your run of the mill pen, until you unscrew it and see it uses standard ink cartridges. You pop one in (one supplied) and within a few seconds can be writing using the style of writing that usually comes with a sharp nibbed fountain pen. The Differences The pen uses a rollerball...
I’ve had five or six shredders in the past and each and every one has let me down in some way shape or form. The main thing that usually goes wrong is it would jam up, sometimes to the point where the shredder was useless. Therefore I was pretty excited to receive Fellowes most recent business shredder, the Powershred (PS) -79Ci because it claimed to be completely jam proof. That sounded too good to be true, which is how this Fellows PS-79Ci review came about. Contents and Setup The PS-79Ci comes in a pretty hefty box which contains...
In our opinion doodles and doodlers are the way forward in design, after all Matt Groening created the Simpsons on the back of a napkin.

You can doodle, sketch or design...

The calendar sports a number of squares that represent each day. When one of the squares is rubbed by one’s finger, the black cover disappears to reveal a historical...
Some things in life just go well together, don’t they? Where would bread be without butter or hot dogs without mustard? However, every now and then we see a combination which makes us stop and think, and a tea making machine with a USB recharger is one of those. How Does It Work? Well, it makes tea and recharges USB devices obviously. As well as that there is an alarm clock built into it. The recharging slot is on the back of the Teasmade Automatic Tea Maker with USB Recharger and the water goes in the…ok, so you can work that...
