Writing your autobiography. All the famous people are doing it- especially those that only appeared a couple of weeks ago and haven’t had time for you to learn their names
Remember walking round in the height of 80s Britain, with a ghetto blaster slung across your neon clad shoulder, your shades bigger than Victoria Beckham’s and your cares few except
So, are things going OK with the spy pen I told you about earlier in the year? Found out who was stealing your paper clips, or what your colleagues REALLY thought of you? Glad to hear it- you’ve passed your initiation into the world of spies, and now you’re ready to move on to catching the bigger fish.
The great thing about the spy pen was how mobile it was. If, however, you’re looking for something a little more static and more able to be hid away in the corner, then you may be better equipped with the Mini Spy Video Camera. To me it looks a little like an MP3 player, or a really slim line phone. Other people think it doesn’t really look like anything- certainly not something interesting enough to attract any attention. Perfect- leave it out and get I spying.
There’re approximately a million USB ‘friends’ available to you. Most will make some kind of noise and remind you that there is someone who cares for you, even if they’re
Ninjas are eternally fascinating. They're just so much cooler than any of our Western alternatives will ever be (Pirates Vs Ninjas? Please- the Ninjas would win every time, no matter how hot Johnny Depp makes Pirates). And our need for all things Ninja is at an all time high with the success of recent video games and certain animes. I even have a ninja tattoo (it's a theatre thing- long story!) so Ninja addiction is very real and very here.
Unfortunately, most of us can't pull of stalking around in black with our faces covered, and carrying a katana is likely to get you thrown in prison, so how do you express your Ninja alter ego without looking daft or making friends with the boys in blue?
With Core 77's Secret Throwing Stars Magnets of course.
Say what you will about the Rubix cube, but it’s really stuck the test of time. Ok, so it might be the worlds most annoying puzzle, and they might be neigh impossible to solve (even with the help of the many YouTube videos on the subject) but whether you were born in the seventies when it was first invented or not then you’re bound to recognise the iconic design and deceptively simple mechanism.
Well, now the Rubiks cube is getting overhauled not once but twice for the naughties and it’s weirder than ever.
I remember the good old days, back when I was Girl Guide. Camp fires, crafts, badges, chasing Boy Scouts… ah, good times. Unfortunately along with those came camping out in the freezing cold in a tent. A good sleeping bag was essential, and anyone who enjoys camping will tell you the same. Sadly, sleeping bags just aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. They get twisted around you in the middle of the night, and the ones with the built in hood pillows will inevitably smother you. And then there’s the issue of having to get up while it’s still cold. They might be awful to sleep in, but once you’re snuggled up nice and warm, rabid Brownies couldn’t drag you out of your sleeping bag.
This is why Selk Bags were invented. They’re sleeping bags Jim, but not as we know it…
I’ve been sat here trying to transcribe the noise from the Mario games. I got as far as ‘duh do do dodo duh do do’ and then scrapped the idea.
Why the Nintendo nostalgia? Well, I’ve found the cutest little gadget I’ve seen all week. It’s the Mushroom Desk Mini Vacuum Cleaner. Available in red, green, purple or orange it’s a handheld hoover for your home
