The X Factor is now a national institution. It can be likened to past Saturday night favourites, like The Generation game, The Price is right, Saturday Night takeaway and, um, Noel’s House Party.
Ok, scrap the last one…
But, The X factor has surpassed all of these shows with it’s popularity and winning formula. Everyone has an opinion – Me? Lay off Katie, what’s she done to you? Matt to win…or maybe Wagner, just to see Mr. Cowell’s face…I could go on.
Now, you can bring the excitement and entertainment closer, right to your doorstep in fact.
This is the Official X Factor online karaoke service, brought to your by the professionals at Gear4.
Unlike other karaoke systems, The Party Box is very interactive. Sing all the songs from The X Factor immediately after the show. Just connect up your computer and speakers to the Party Box (cables and instructions included), plug in the mic and read the lyrics off your computer screen to get singing!
The online Catalogue ranges from new chart hits to old karaoke classics, with Over 7500 songs at your fingertips and Up to 70 new songs added every month.
This is more than a plug in microphone. The set includes the Party Box mixer with echo effect for the professional effect.
The site, http://www.xfactorkaraoke.com, is a sleek, full screen karaoke player that allows you to stream all the songs from The X Factor as soon as the show’s finished and create exclusive ‘The X Factor’ playlists.

With a variety of products available, from electrical goods to lifestyle products, all your Christmas shopping could be complete with just a few clicks, saving you a lot of money at the same time.
Founder Jonathan Ruff states: -
“We are offering high quality branded current products across a wide range of product areas. Every day will be different, but whatever is for sale will always be a bargain.”
One product that Dealtastic can offer us is the fantastic Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control.
I am an avid watcher of Dragon’s Den and when this Magic Wand was on the show I was completely and utterly in awe with it. I knew there and then that I would have to try to sample it for Iconic Gifts, and now, I am so glad that I did. It really is totally astounding, and is one of the most beautifully crafted gizmos that I have in my humble abode.
You cant magic your enemies to eat slugs like in Harry Potter, but you can use it to control your television, sky, digibox, stereo or any other infra-red devices in your home with just a simple flick of the wrist.
You can teach your wand how to control your devices very easily. It can learn up to a staggering 13 infrared codes from your existing remote controls, and then fling them in a particular direction to perform one of the 13 predefined gestures. The gestures allow you to turn on your device, change the channels, adjust the volume, and much more. The gestures are as follows: -
1 - Rotate anticlockwise (typically used for “volume down” function)
2 - Rotate clockwise (typically used for “volume up” function)
3 - Flick upwards
4 - Flick downwards
5 - Flick left
6 - Flick right
7 - Tap on top
8 - Tap on side
10 - Push forward
11 - Pull back
12 - Double tap top
13 - Double tap side
The wand comes in a stunning decorative presentation box, fully lined with beautiful material. I think that this will be one of the most popular gifts this Christmas, as it is sure to be on many individuals wish lists! It is the perfect gift for those who are hard to buy for, and also for those who love anything magical and Harry Potterish. Let them have an abracadabra-ish Christmas this year.
The Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control will cost you only £39.50 from http://www.dealtastic.co.uk, saving you an amazing 21% of the RRP £49.95. Now, that is magical!
Paper Jamz unleashed their proper rocking guitars earlier this year…Now you can pretty much get a Paper Jamz band together with the release of the drum kits and amps.
I was a massive fan of the guitars. I am the same with the new products. The fact the drums and guitars can link to play the same tunes is really good…It’s going to be a noisy Christmas morning round mine, especially when using the amp.
The amp is lightweight and small, but do not let this fool you. The output is really clever, and I have used the amp with my own MP3 player since – it is good enough for this.
The drums are designed excellently. You can play using fingers or improvise…a couple of pencils work a treat.
Four modes for jamming include -
Perfect Play: play perfect drums to the 3 included hits
Rhythm: control the drum beat for each song
Freestyle: play real drum sounds — create your own songs
Karaoke: sing and play along with the 3 included songs
Along with features like Active Graphics™ Technology that allows you to jam out by simply touching the surface! A Built-in speaker , volume control and line-out jack for earphone or amplifier connection also make this a perfect drum set for Christmas.
The price? How about £22.95? Stunning.
A choice of 4 lightweight Paper Jamz amps that plug straight into your Paper Jamz guitar or drums are an absolute must if you are buying either guitar or drums . Incredibly, you can also use them as regular speakers. At £14.75, these are hard to resist.
Paper Jamz have done it again, These new releases are nothing short of awesome. The whole range can be purchased at Amazon .
Philips, for me, are bang on with their new products right now.
There is no regurgitating of old product, just for the sake of it. Philip’s are producing items that we need, that we want.
When I heard that Philips were collaborating with O’Neill, I was very excited by the prospect.
It’s like Barbie getting together with Ken. This great match has given us a set of headphones that have all the hallmarks of O’Neill styling, coupled with the technical and audio quality that Philips bring.
Their new, ahem, baby, The Stretch headphone is an awesome masterpiece of endurance, style and audio power.
No other headphone can match the toughness of the Stretch. It was made for skaters, clumsy people or just anyone that wants to look like a dude. (I think I tick two of those boxes)
Beautiful little touches like the detachable cord from the headset make these headphones stand out from the competition.
Inspired by the heavy-duty materials and styling of wetsuit materials, The Stretch headphones deliver high performance. Both impact and high stress-crack resistant, it retains flexibility and strength for a whole new level in headphone resilience.
The Stretch maintains its toughness and durability, whether you’re in the most extreme conditions – be it the hottest place on earth or the coldest climate down to -250C temperatures.
Nick Andrews, senior manager, Consumer Marketing at Philips, comments: “This range realizes the synergies of Philips’ simplicity and innovation and O’Neill’s set of core values based around the concept of innovation in style and technology. Our new headphones are totally uncompromising in their durability”.
The coolest cans I know…Philips, well done with yet another stunning product.
The new Philips / O’Neill Headphones are available at The Philips store online for £99.99.
The ultimate big boy’s toy this year has got to be this Remote Controlled Mechanical Arm from The Present Finder.
When I received this, I was impressed, but not as impressed as my man! His very own robot arm is something that gets him excited. A proper toy that he will enjoy for hours. It is a great challenge to construct and will allow him to use his technical skills to assemble himself, getting an understanding of basic robot technology and control systems. A great gift for many out there!
The Present Finder state:-
“With five motors for multi-directional control of five different joints, the robot arm features base rotation, shoulder, elbow and wrist motion as well as a functional gripping claw. The gripping claw also has an integrated LED spotlight for extra illumination of anything that you are going to pick up. The five-way directional control allows the robot arm to grab, lift, position, lower and release items smoothly and efficiently.”
So by controlling the arm with a wired remote control, he will be the master of his own robot! And, at the end of a hard day at work, let the arm reach out for that well earn can of beer! It is priced at £39.99.
If that’s not enough, The Present Finder also offers us the Touch Screen ATM Bank (£34.99).
