LIP was a very famous brand of watch during the early 1970’s not that I remember them you understand! Anyway those watches were dreamed as a sort sci fi fantasy item, yet if you think about it, we are talking about over thirty years ago, but the watches have been reissued and even now they are still remarkable, the designer Roger Tallon was a man well ahead of his time with the design for the LIP Mach 2000 and the reissued model is a very clever redesign of the original watch.

You know how it is its lunch and you decided to take your pasta salad outside with you for lunch and then you find that you have forgotten a fork, what do you now?

Well if you had an emergency cutlery set then it would be no problem at all, because this credit card sized packet contains all you need for a lunch outside in the sunshine.

The set is designed by Ineke Hans where a knife and fork have been compacted into the size of a credit card and then packaged into a sealed pack, which can then be placed into your wallet or handbag where it will stay until the emergency occurs, whereas you would have to make do or have something unhealthy.

At first you would assume that these would be very handy for food outlets to hand out free with their meals etc, however the price is around $10 per set, and so the freebie disappears.

The busy person dream come true, a tea pot that comes with a base, that is rounded so that the pot fits nicely into it, that way the teapot when full can just easily and effortlessly swing back and forth pouring the tea into the cup, and when finished the teapot ids gently released back into the upright position and there you have it, a perfect cup of tea.

But that is not all, the base can actually boil the water and keep it warm and keep it at a temperature you like your tea at. How great is it that? They’re no details on prices or availability yet.

Having any pet can mean a complete change of lifestyle, but more particularly dogs need to have more love and care than other pets, but what if you have not got the time or the inclination for all the TLC, but you still need to have a pet dog, well “Tomy Dacky” have the right product for you.

They call it a healing dog, so I suppose that it is meant for people with illness, but younger people can use it too, when you first get it the dog will only bark, but over time it learns because it have six internal sensors which will react to touch and even praise.

They do say that after they are fully trained up the dogs will be able to speak, unfortunately they only speak Japanese! All of that for just $99.

Sleeve maker iStyles has brought some new designs out for the their iPod sleeves, this autumn leave one is very fetching with natural background and the leaves being a nice shade of brown.

Each one of the sleeves is made by hand and is really limited to as long as the material lasts for, so if you see a design that you like, then you had better order it fast before they run out. Inside all the sleeves have a micro fiber cloth lining, this will protect the iPod from getting scratched and as a bonus it polishes and cleans the device every time you put the iPod in the sleeve and take it out again. There is also a pocket for the earphones etc,
