iDream speaker pillow good for snoozin’

Travelling can be a nightmare, especially when you’re trying to sleep with fiddly headphones jammed in your ears. The iDream Speaker Pillow can resuce you from all of that. It’s an extremely comfy, soft and colourful cushion upon which to rest your weary head, but the inbuilt speaker can be hooked up to your iPod or MP3 player. This lets you snooze your journey away to an ambient playlist of your choice. There’s a little pocket in the side of the pillow that hides a lead that will allow you to connect your iPod or MP3 and it even has a volume controller which is handy. Plug in your iPod and drift away while these tiny cushions play you into a soothing snooze.

Mio Navman Spirit 300 Sat Nav

This is a stylish, compact sat nav from the Navman Spirit range which is one of the slimmest, most lightweight sat nav devices I’ve seen for a while so won’t take up too much valuable space in your handbag! It’s got a simple, colourful menu system that takes you to all of the features within a couple of ‘taps’. It comes with a host of other features including explore mode, pedestrian mode helping you to explore on foot and nav pixs – a geo tagged photo navigation feature, so you can tap on the photo of the Eifel tower and it will tell you where it is and how to get there! Good for the car and exploring.

Live Luggage power assisted suitcase!

 Calling all yummy mummies and all other yummy people for that matter who struggle with wheeling big bags (that are super heavy) as well as buggies and handbags and starbux the list goes on…well not anymore.

Live Luggage is a power assisted bag that has flat motor technology built into the wheels which basically means it assists you when going up hills, curbs, steps etc. It also has an anti-gravity handle putting 85% of the weight over the wheels. My favourite bit is the handy umbrella storage so you dont have to go rummaging around in your handbag if it starts to pour down!

Check out the youtube vid to see how it all works, it’s that bloke from the Apprentice (noooo not Alan Sugar).

Features

  • Soft ballistic nylon case with removable lap top and weekend luggage bags
  • Multi bag design allowing owner to check in whole bag or the flexibility to remove two pieces and treat as hand luggage
  • Live Locator ID – a unique ID to help locate your suitcase in the event of loss
  • Unique umbrella storage (umbrella included)
  • 100% recyclable luggage
  • Made in Britain
