This has to be either the most wonderful idea ever, or the most impractical. Part of me loves the idea of carrying a laptop bag which looks like I’m packing some serious heat. Get away criminals! Stay away evildoers! Read more…?
This is one of those really funky devices we love at Pretty Gadgets. Firstly, it’s not bad looking and secondly it has a real practical purpose.
The solar beach tote actually recharges your PDAs, PSPs, Music players etc from inside the bag thanks to its nifty inbuilt solar panel. Read more…?
Somehow I don’t think I will be wearing these items any time soon, but I love the idea. Mike and Maaike have come up with pixelated leather jewelry called Stolen Jewels. Read more…?

Like an idiot I just put away the electric blanket last week. I also stored the UGGS - will be retrieving both this evening.
Who does that in March, huh? I’m sitting here in bed (under a luscious new duvet, mind) freezing my kneecaps off. USB Heated Gloves seem an appropriate item of the day.
Colourful, fashionable (apparently) with a warming pad inside. Plug these little wool babies into your USB port for toasty digits.
USB Heated Gloves Pricetag:$22.99
I spend most of my time outside America. Where carrying things like this, could get you in a bit of trouble with the Met. Not so in the lovely U S of A. If anything, handy little bottles of mace and pepperspray are considered absolute musts where personal safety is concerned. My mom wanted to send me something akin when I moved to Europe. If it’d been cute and shiny and from Pepperface, I may have let her. “Self defence that doesn’t compromise style or conveinence.” That’s the billing on the product page.
Get standard pretty-purple or go for a Prevention Purple™. For each of these models sold, Pepperface.com will contribute a dollar to support the National Center on Domestic & Sexual Violence. Best part? They’ve got a little number designed by Crabman himself. And Earl.
Pepperface.com Designer Pepperspray Pricetag: $35 - $395
I’m only slightly ashamed to say things tokidoki make me feel all pink and girly on the inside. It’s the same feeling you get from Hello Kitty. The sense that you’ve been slightly brainwashed into thinking something an eight year old would like is pretty.
A friend of mine, who is into all styles Japanese, dropped me a note to say that TokiDoki are launching a clothing line at the end of the month and that the tokidoki shoes will be available from Fornarina.
Ah, Japanisme!
TokiDoki Fashion Pricetag: Coming Soon.
I’m still using my almost-original, the iPod Mini - in pink no less - but it keeps falling off my arm at the gym. So I’m after a Shuffle. White bores me and black is for boys. Solution? These lovely aluminum covers with neoprene linings. Grab a four pack in red, pink, blue and green.
Aluminum Rhino Skin for iPod Shuffle Pricetag: $19.95
A funky design from otherwise prim and proper American designer Nicole Miller. The new cell phone case in lovely silk taffeta is as brightly colored as an Easter Egg and as Corseted as Ms Antoinette herself. The case measures 3.8″ x 2.2″ x 1.2″ making it suitable for a selection of different phones. I carry my iPod in it myself. So should you.
