HBO haa recently upped the stakes (sorry for the pun) in branded TV merchandise, by releasing premium price franchised products on their online store (http://store.hbouk.com). Shows such as Sex And The City®, Game of Thrones® and True Blood® have all been the focus of the merchandise treatment.
Just to let you know, if you don’t already, True Blood is HBO’s hugely successful Vampire centric soap opera. Currently in its Fifth series, the show is one of the network’s flagship programmes.
And today I am introducing the limited edition V-MODA True Blood® MAKER Headphones…

Now, let’s find the ultimate Valentines Day gift for him! These Audéo PFE 132 earphones could just well do the trick! They will provide your loved one with breathtaking sound and perfect fit comfort – you know that he’ll love them (hopefully not more than you though!). For those who are constantly on the road, these earphones really are the perfect gift!
Audéo says:-
“At only 14 grams, the small, delicate Audéo PFE 132 earphones are extremely light and, with their ergonomic design, offer excellent wearing comfort - even on longer journeys. The supplied silicone and foam ear tip pieces guarantee a snug fit in the ear canal and make sure that any external noise is effectively blocked out. Even at low volume, Audéo PFE 132 earphones offer an impressive listening experience, without harming your hearing.”
Sounds good, doesn’t it! Not only are they snugly fitting, but the sound emitted is tremendous! You are guaranteed crystal clear sound with precise, detailed playback. What’s more is that both bass and treble can be individually adjusted and adapted to personal listening preferences. They also include a very useful Mic and volume control.
The Audéo PFE 132 earphones are priced at £179.99 and are available from http://www.audeoworld.com. So go on, treat him – you know he deserves it!
I love these earphones! OK, so they’re not the most beautiful bits of tech you have ever seen, but you get a quality piece of kit for the price!
The Etymotic HF3’s are understated, comfortable and perfect for the most demanding audio connoisseurs. Using noise isolation these earphones offer a high-end experience at a rather reasonable price of £134.95.
Comfort
One of the overriding perceptions that people have of in-earphones, is that they are uncomfortable – this is certainly NOT the case for the HF3’s, as their soft and flexible ear buds provide a superbly comfortable listening experience. Due to their malleable form, they sit snugly in the ear canal and lodge firmly in place, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out.
As I have larger and more cavernous ears, the large buds suited my needs just fine. However, if you’re not jug eared like me, then there are diddy ones for you to wrap your lug holes around. The provided ear bud shapes also vary just to make sure they suit your needs. Furthermore, Etyomotic offer a service that provides users with customisable earplugs – just to make sure you are comfortable! - http://www.etymotic.com/customfit/index.html
Sound
In terms of sound quality – the HF3’s score good marks, yet again! The speakers deliver crisp, sharp notes, which are a joy to listen to. The bass is relatively good for an in-ear headset, but sometimes suffers at higher volumes. But it has to be said, the audio quality is comparable to far more expensive headsets, if not better!

The weather has been pretty savage recently, with parts of the UK losing power to homes as a result. In the event of a power cut, how prepared are you?
I bet there is a stash of candles somewhere, maybe with a lighter close by if you are lucky. But that is so last year and the many years before.
My first favourite product of 2012 is the Bright Light Ranger, a rechargeable torch that is a home necessity, it’s that good.
So how is a torch really that good?
Firstly, my eyesight is really bad…I mean really bad. I cannot see a thing once it goes dark, so a good light source is important to me.
The Bright Light Ranger is a great light source, with 12 Power LED’s (much brighter than ordinary LEDs – and 12 of them) and a huge wide angle beam that spans a 40 square metre area.
Secondly, this is an eco torch, with no doubt. The LEDs are low energy, the rechargeable element displaces batteries and it also has a hand crank when the charge runs down.
The charge running down would be rare though as a full charge lasts for over 12 hours continuous use.
The re-chargeable battery can be charged via the mains adaptor supplied, a 12V car socket, or with the wind-up handle in emergencies.
A 6V DC socket is provided on the rear to allow even more lights to be plugged when required. It is all housed in a tough and compact casing.
There a not many portable high-intensity lighting solutions that can match the long range, wide scope beam.
The uses for such a torch are endless. It is a home necessity and would be perfect for camping too.
The Bright Light Ranger’s final good point is the price, retailing at £69.95, you will not find a better performing torch at this price.
You can get this awesome product from Amazon, you will not be disappointed.
Nevada’s Managing Direct says, “Power LED’s are a fantastic new light source and when used in the “Bright Light” will illuminate a complete back garden, workshop, stables, or other large area, for over 12 hours between charges.”
At Iconic Gifts, it takes a lot for us to sit up and take notice of a new gift idea. We have seen it all…or so we thought.
Check out Sweet Arrangements and their range of beautifully crafted Sweet trees. Perfect for weddings and corporate events, yes, but also a perfect gift for sweet lovers.
London based Sweet Arrangements offer a huge range of trees and filled vases. The choice is vast and each order is handmade.
The range of unusual sweet gifts is also comprehensive and the best bit? The price!
The trees are bespoke to your requirements, so prices vary but Sweet Trees are around £40 - £55 with arrangements £35 - £60.
Do you know a sweet lover?! Would this be the perfect gift? The trees could be a great anniversary or birthday present and would also work really well in the corporate sector.
In short, I think I am going to start tree hugging. Totally love this great use of sweets.
