LadyBag


Halliluiah! Al last someones’ clear head (they say these were six Canadian studends – is there any use mentioning they all are women?) invented a bag for forgetful ladies. This cute bag lets you know whether you put all living essencials into it before you leave home! Do you want to know how it manages to do that? RFID tags (I was racking my brains for hours over this RFID)! It turned out to be short for Radio Frequency Indentification. Truly speaking I still do not quite understand what this is) must be inserted into articles you have to carry with you every day. The reader which is placed at the bottom of this bag checks if you have everything you need and if you as usual forgot to put into your purse a necessary article the Ladybag lights up in a pattern to prevent you from leaving this thing at home.

I don’t know how about you, but I often leave at home things I need: money, cellular, keys and all this kind of stuff. This Ladybag seems to be made up specially for me. This cute purse is my dream! I hope with it I will not have to turn back for 3-4 times before I finally leave home.

I think they should make up a Gentleman bag of this kind. Don’t you think men sometimes are even more forgetful then women?

The pig radio

Oh, I do understand that all of us are serious grown-ups and we don’t have extra time for entertainment. And we don’t purchase tools like this one on the picture. It looks a little bit childish.
Yes it’s too unserious and you can’t even imagine how it can fit into your interior! You’ve also given up the idea to deal with these fun devices since you persuaded yourself not to buy Pig Speakers. And now you have to fight again against your desire to get Pig Radio.
You thrown out all stuff like this several years ago and now you are not going to be in ecstasies over this… pretty pink pig radio. Aren’t you? But I can bet that you’ve already imagine how you will enjoy the company of this USB FM Pig from Mageekstore. Am I right? So, don’t hesitate and restrain your desires. Just fancy, this “three P” (Pretty, Pink, Pig) has radio control on the ears!
As for me, even realizing the fact that it’s a simple radio, I can’t help purchasing this. Just because I want it!

The Blenderphone

Realy gadget for girls I can’t make up my mind whether this wonderful device is for men or women. The first idea was that it’s for women’s using. They cook more often and they like speaking over the telephone. The second idea was that men are more practical and efficient and they will appreciate this two-in-one device for sure. The third idea was: it really doesn’t matter!
By the way, its designer is the representative of the stronger sex. Tom Myers has already made something like this Blender Phone. Now he has invented the device which allows both blending something and speaking over the phone. The receiver is attached to the blender at the hip. But in this case I don’t quite understand how one can perform both things. They say that to answer one should pick the whole pitcher up and to put this to one’s ear. So, one will look really oddly with a pitcher near his or her ear. At the same time, I don’t even think that it can be a good gift. As for me, I consider that it’s a useless device, because it’s not comfortable for using. Moreover, he wants 300$ for each sample of blender phones. But I used to think, that household appliance should be handy. There are many other things you can amaze your friends with.

The Birth of the Baby Bed Revolution

Could we fancy that our children would sleep in cots like this one? This one was developed by four final- year students from Coventry University. The basic idea of this project was to create an intelligent cot for help in baby care. After the university exhibition they’ve that there was a great demand for this device.
And there is no wander! Featuring so many useful functions it comes handy for young parents. Having a cot like this there is no need to rock your baby by your hands because it has automatic rocking. This will free you from such duty as baby rocking and save your time. Air circulation is one more feature of this new age cot which will make your child healthier. At the same time, equipped with lifting system it will save your own health by reducing the cases of low-back pain. Your child won’t be left unkept any more due to the inbuilt video monitor. All additional functions will help you in keeping you baby in maximum comfort and avoid any stress.
Today, we wander when looking at this device, but in future it can become a common one in every house. By the way, it has already rather popular and won the third price in the Ideal House Show concept production competition.
The only negative thing that I think about is the possible lack of parents- child contact. Anyway, a child should feel parental love and kindliness. And no high tech device can substitute these.

New Level of Easter Eggs



Actually, these Eastern eggs could be hardly named gadgets. They are rather little masterpieces. Nevertheless, we’ve decided to place the short review about Franc Grom work to set your mood on the eve of Easter.
Franc Grom is a person who’s famous for his talent, creativeness, using of modern technologies and, I think, patience. Imagine, he had to make about 2,500 little holes in an eggshell to create the piece of art you can see at the picture. And it’s not the limit; some of his works have up to 3,500 holes. His eastern eggs can compete with Fabergé samples in their unique beauty. In fact, Grom continues old traditions in modern art. He uses an electric drill to pierce shells and make his works even more sophisticated.
Being a hand-made, Grom’s eastern eggs are very precious and couldn’t be compared with any of mass devices. We hope that even if you don’t have the opportunity to buy a sample of these, we managed to remind you of soon coming holiday and cheer you up.

Portable Washing Machine

I do travel a lot and take only necessary stuff along. I have to be nuts to take my refrigerator, bed-side table or my washing machine. That’s true, except for the latter. Hong Kong company Astone Innovation proved that washing machine doesn’t need to be a weighty thing for you, when you really need your clothes clean. It may look like a toy-like stuff, but actually functions as a full-operating machine with all the main features. The Mobile washer is just 2 kg weight until you inflate it to the full size. Due to unique technology, it may hold up to 6,5 L of water. When you no longer need it, you just blow it off and get a small portable case. Though not released yet, this washing machine will surely hit the market for regular travelers. You may be an unmatched person, who owns very useful device, when all your friends return from the walking tour with all their stained clothes. And here you go with your Mobile Washer. You will be sure that no unforeseen circumstances will catch you on the hop!

KUKU Alarm clock

Though I am an early riser, waking up is still a thing I do not adore. Nothing’s easier than turn off your alarm clock and keep on sleeping with the thought “just few minutes more”. What could make me change this habit if not this wacky KUKU alarm clock? The principle is just as simple as ABC. This lovely clock stores 5 little eggs (not real thankfully), which begin to crow and come out in the basket at the right time. You will say: ”Let it do its job”. No that fast actually! You will need to put all eggs back in order to make your alarm clock shut up. This is really fun. At least any ideas about sleeping disappear in no time when you engage in this tricky practice. One, two, three, four…where is this damn five? I know nobody who will stay in bed and be “cock-a-doodle-doo” resistant with this alarm clock. I feel like a pretty mother hen, who needs to guard her cutie future chickens! I won’t suggest it for those nervous cases, but highly recommend for those who really need to be hale and hearty in the morning or any other time of the day.

Tunewear's Charm Shuffle cases

Tunewear has come with their new series of gadget cases. What can I say? In my own opinion, the picture has already said everything.
I mean that I almost fall in love with these quaint pretty cases. I can only add that the cases are available in four variants. In fact, you can choose which of them is worth being a decoration of your device. Which of them you like the most: butterfly, flowerpower, honeybee or ladybug? No matter which of them will be given your preference because all of them are small pieces of art.
The cases were designed for iPod shuffle portable audio player. Each case features a special open window and slider switch. The window was made for gadget’s control pad and this allows you to use your iPod without any problems.
I think that sometimes we are too serious. Spending the majority of time at our work-places and being surrounded by office stuff we don’t pay attention to the fact that our life becomes a dull routine. These small funny cases were developed for those who choose another life-stile, for those who prefer being different. As a matter of fact, they are right for me!

Miss A Kit

Frankly speaking I’m a little tired of all these pink devices. Actually, I have nothing against this color, but I really don’t understand why fair sex is associated with pink color only. As for me, there are very few things of pink in my wardrobe and among my adorable gadgets too. Do you think that I’m too austere? Ok, I’ll tone down my anger.
In fact, I’m fascinated by this Miss A Kit. It’s really useful and functional. I like it so much that even its color doesn’t matter. I’d willingly purchase the item like this one. They recommend this pink Swiss Army knife as travelware. Undoubtedly, it will be especially useful when being on business or simply traveling. But I’d wear it in my handbag everyday. It features so many items that I’m afraid that soon I won’t be able to do without this. Miss A kit is equipped with such standard items as knife, scissors, corkscrew and bottle opener. At the same time it houses some very feminine featured tools: perfume bottle, nail file, mirror, needle and thread, tweezers, safety pin and some other not less useful items – flashlight, keychain and ruler.
So, you can make sure that Miss A Kit is a pretty multifunctional PINK device, that sooner or later will become a must have.
