Solar-Powered Bluetooth Headset – Infinite Standby Time

What’s the advantage of Bluetooth headsets anyway? Admittedly, you don’t have a wire dangling around, but on the downside it’s yet another device that you need to charge. And now you have two batteries that can run out in the middle of a phone call and two chargers to plug in. Here's an excellent solution to that problem.

First camera with built-in projector – Nikon COOLPIX S1000pj

It’s never been our intention to cover every new digital camera or every small advancement or gadget in digital photography, but since a projector built into a camera is something radically new – and a world-first – we think that the Nikon COOLPIX S1000pj deserves its place on this blog. It allows you to take pictures or shoot videos during any event and show them to the participants before they’ve even left.

Freeloader Pro Solar Charger Charges all Your Gear (yes, even your reflex camera)

We’ve written a few articles on travel adaptors and multi-chargers that help you to get rid of cable clutter and charge all your devices through one single charger. This solar charger takes the idea a step further and allows you to give those power-hungry devices a full charge without being bound to a power outlet for a few hours. Several of these are around, but this Freeloader Pro even charges those high-voltage Li-ion batteries needed for DSLR reflex cameras or camcorders.

Doc XL Convertible Sofa from Bonbon Converts into Bunk Bed

Convertible sofas are typically used, for instance, in rental holiday homes where space is limited and the number of sleepers can vary. Another useful application is for people who invite friends over regularly but who don’t have the space for one or more guestrooms. So far so good – but what if your guests aren’t a couple and don’t fancy sleeping in the same bed? This Doc XL bunk bed solution from Bonbon is very original and, as far as I know, unique.

Care Plus Click-Away – Stop Mosquito Bites From Itching

Everyone has his or her own – usually ineffective – household remedy to ease the itching from mosquito bites. Among the things that do work are cortisone-based creams. They’re very effective, though they can be greasy and stain your clothes. But the Click-Away from Care Plus is incredibly compact and light, doesn’t need batteries and does what it’s supposed to do: stop the itching.

WaveBox – Portable Microwave Oven for Vacation, Car and Boat

I can imagine that most of you can live without a microwave oven for a day or two, but let’s say that you leave on vacation and you’re not sure if your holiday home is equipped with a microwave oven. Or you need to warm the baby’s bottle of milk in the car on the way to your destination. Or maybe you want to cook the fish that you just caught while you’re on your boat with friends. Well, the WaveBox portable microwave oven can do all of that.

Travel Light – Titan Razor with Shaving Cream Reservoir

A shaving can with enough cream for you to shave 50 times is simply unnecessary when you’re going away for just a few days. It can make the difference between hand luggage only and a suitcase that’ll mean a longer wait at the airport and baggage retrieval, and makes life difficult when using public transport when you get to your destination. This Titan razor helps you to travel light and efficiently.

Racor Gravity Bike Rack – Organize Your Garage

Bikes are a nuisance in the garage. They always take up too much space, making it hard to park your car or to open your car door to get in or out of your vehicle. The obvious garage-organizing solution is to store them vertically by hanging them on the wall. Many space-saving bike racks are around, but most require you to drill holes, and once mounted, you can’t easily move them to another place in the garage when required. The Racor Pro PLB-2R Gravity Bike Stand might be your solution - no bolts required.

Travel Light, Save Space and Replace Your Shaving Cream with Shaving Oil

… or The Incredible Shrinking Shaving Foam Can

When backpacking, every ounce counts, and – just in case you might want to shave from time to time – that 10 oz shaving foam can is not what you’re looking for. And on overnight business trips, you might want to restrict yourself to hand luggage only, when that same can of shaving foam is just another nuisance making this harder to achieve. Worse still, the severe liquid restrictions that apply at airport security checks might get your can confiscated and see you take off with no can at all. So instead of taking a can, why not travel with shaving oil such as the one from Somersets or the Pacific Shaving Company?

Enjoy Your MP3 Music on Your Factory Car Stereo – Without Static

Once you get used to the comfort of an iPod, iPhone or other MP3 player, having your whole music collection at your fingertips, the next thing you obviously want is to be able to connect this to your car stereo and enjoy the same flexibility when driving. New car stereos are often equipped with an AUX input or even with an integrated iPod docking station. When you’ve got a more basic or older car stereo, there’s generally no direct means of connecting your MP3 player. In that case you have to revert to the well-known FM transmitters and live with the interference of neighboring FM radio stations – unless you go for the Scosche FMMOD02 FM modulator.
