I can’t believe how fast the nights are drawing in now. It’s brilliant! I love the dark, there’s something so calming about it. While the autumn nights get cooler, what better way to end a stressful day at work than in a nice warm bath.
Candles and bath salts are so yesterday- check out these 5 funky gadgets to help you relax in the bath for some quality chill out time!
Glow Flow Tap
The Glow Flow tap, with its LED lights turns your plain old tap water into a colourful waterfall, lighting up dark bathrooms or kitchens. With a set of universal adapters, it will fit to most taps. Now for the clever bit, the unit has a built-in temperature sensor; it can tell whether the water is hot or cold and changes the colour of the light appropriately! It requires 3 x LR44 (watch cell) batteries and costs £12.95 from Genie Gadget.

LED Shower Light
Now you can shower funky style with the LED Shower Light. Similar to the Glow Flow tap, it has a temperature sensor; turning cold water blue and hot water red. The shower head requires no batteries (that’s what we like!); the LED lights are generated by an internal turbine, so when the water flows, the light flows! The head will fit onto a majority of fitted pipe showers.

Underwater Light Show 
Underwater Light Show – does exactly what it says on the box! Described as looking ‘a little bit like the rose off a watering can’, this cool little gizmo can either float on top of the water, or be weighed down to the bottom of the bath. With red, blue, orange and green LED lights, the ULS performs 5 different light shows; rapid colour change, fast flashes of one particular colour pattern, gently phasing of all four colours, non-changing pattern of all colours and a sequence of all the light shows. The Underwater Light Show requires 3 x AAA batteries and costs £7.95 from PrezzyBox.

Wireless Floating Speaker
Relaxing in a cosy warm bath and listening to some soothing music is just heavenly. Unfortunately, electronics vs. water, resulting in possible electrocution is not so heavenly. This funky, floating speaker allows you listen to your music, well, in safety! A small transmitter hooks up to your sound system via a 3.5mm jack and transmits music wirelessly up to 150ft away to the speakers. Requiring 4 x AA batteries for the speaker and 3 x AAA batteries for the transmitter, the Wireless Floating Speaker will set you back £39.95 from IWOOT.

LED Glow in the Duck
And finally, to top of the theme, the good old rubber ducky… with a twist! Meet the new generation. Appropriately named, Glow in the Duck, glows with colour phasing LED lights as soon as it hits the water. The batteries unfortunately are non-replaceable and should last for 180 fifteen minutes or 90 half hour baths. And at £2.95 from Shiny Shack, it’s hardly going to break the bank. These cute and colourful duckies will take to water like… well… you know.
