Vinturi Wine Aerator

Most of us like a bottle of wine or two from time to time so what better wine gadget to get than this wine aerator to get the most out of a nice bottle of red. This is so simple to use and makes your wine taste better right from the very first glass.

Simply hold it over your glass and pour wine into the top which filters the wine as it pours through allowing it to take in more oxygen help bring out the flavours and aromas. Much less hassle than decanting the wine but with the same great results. Glass of rioja anyone?

Power Without Wires: Wireless iPhone Charger

 

The PowerPad has been designed with cutting edge technology, offering easy and reliable charging. The PowerPad uses inductive charging where power is simply transmitted through the case to the iPhone battery making charging your iPhone easier than ever. Your iPhone can be placed anywhere on the charge pad and does not require specific contact points and built-in magnets. Perfect!

Works with iPhone (WWi) certified, the compact charging pad fits perfectly into the home or office environment and simply plugs into the mains to transmit charge to the iPhone through the liquid rubber receiver case. The case acts as a robust protective cover when out and about and then, when charge levels are running low, place the iPhone on the charge pad to power it up wirelessly. With the same charge time as standard wired chargers, powering up your iPhone couldn’t be more simple.

Super convenient and looks pretty slick too; wireless charging technology is definitely the way forward.
