“Oh, aah, ooohhhh!” have been the noises coming from my home recently. Don’t Worry! I am not starting Valentines early, I have just taken delivery of the astoundingly good Homedics Swedish Style massager.
When I first sat in the Massage chair, I thought I might get a nice little caress. This chair is like a real Swedish massage. It goes deeper than I thought would be possible, giving a satisfying internal massage. I never thought technology could replicate the real thing – it has, and some.
4 independent balls travel up and down your back, pounding and kneading away at tired lumbar muscles. A heat function only benefits further.
3 rollers can also function so you can choose between a Swedish or roller massage of upper middle or lower back. A full back massage is simply out of this world. Due to the intensity of the massage, you only need 10 – 15 minutes before you feel 10 years younger and as dainty as a gymnast!
The massage chair is available at Homedics site for £149.99. If you consider the cost of a professional Swedish massage, this is such good value. It went around my living room like musical chairs, everybody enjoying and being completely impressed by the standard of massage given.
I recently injured my back and the heat treatment along with the deep tissue massage has sped up my recovery – Homedics, thank you for yet another great massager!
For Valentines, You really need to consider these powerful, effortlessly cool, hi – spec In ear headphones from Atomic Floyd.
Atomic floyd have featured in Iconic gifts before and the Airjax also warrants the attention. These headphones kick some serious audio butt. Atomic Floyd out perform market leaders Bang and Olufsen and Bose.
Part of the reason for this outstanding performance is the team of technicians and designers behind the Airjax, who have previously worked with Nike, Adidas and Philips. Their shared love for design and music has meant every component within the Airjax is the best it could possibly be.
At the heart of the Atomic Floyd® AirJax is a Sound Power SYSTEM™ 3X - A series of state of the art technologies, certified components, functional features, and special materials which combined create the Atomic Floyd signature World Class acoustics.
The headphones retail for £129.99, available from http://www.atomicfloyd.com. When you look at the top end of the headphone market, the competition is left behind. Performance and price like no other, Airjax, welcome to the Atomic Floyd family.
I know valentines can be a steamy affair yet this is something completely different and I had to tell you about it asap. Sometimes a product comes along that performs and delivers so well, it is staggering that not every home has one….yet.
I have lost my Fiancée for the last two weeks to a cleaning, steaming frenzy. She is completely unstoppable and determined in her quest for total cleanliness. No bad thing and understandable, but if I hear her say “urggh, look at the dirt on that” one more time…..
The Eco Steam Buddy is a floor cleaner, a bathroom sanitizer, a fabric steamer, a carpet steamer, a stain remover, an outdoor scrubber, a window washer And a power degreaser in one compact machine! It lifts dirt to such a degree, you may well be disgusted with yourselves!
It comes with 10 attachments, is the size of a small vacuum cleaner and weighs next to nothing. It will defrost your freezer AND EVEN DO YOUR IRONING!!!!! Well, it will steam the creases out of your clothes.
In short, The Eco steam buddy has survived 2 weeks at the hands of a manic clean freak. It has performed and impressed on so many different tasks and levels. Now for the biggest boast, its price. £99.99, go get one at Blueberry TV website or Sky channel 658.
Simplicity is a beautiful thing, not to be under estimated, but enjoyed.
If only everything in the world was as simple as Flip, the pocket video camera.
Flip uses built in software to install onto your pc, it has a flip out arm with USB connection. Connect flip up and it does the rest for you. I had my first videos on facebook in a matter of minutes, 3 minutes from install to upload.
Flip is well designed and has been designed for quick use. There are not many functions, which compliments rather than hinders. You get a big red record button where your thumb would be. A playback (on screen) and zoom. It’s all you need.
Because of the simplicity and the instant record, you will not miss a thing. I found that the flip promoted short bursts of film, which are perfect for uploading onto your social media site.
I also found that the size added to the filmic quality. Things seem more fluid than a standard (bulky, by comparison) video camera. I filmed (and chased) my Children through a soft play / ball pond room to great effect.
This is the way forward, it is refreshing to have something that delivers but is oh so simple to use and install.
In pink, the perfect gift for valentines day. The flip Ultra retails at £129.99, the HD version at £159.99, available from all good electrical retailers (Currys, PC world, Amazon and Play all stock).
This would make the perfect present for anyone, Technophobic grandparents, gadget crazy kids or just about anyone in between.
The simple things are always the best things….conkers, kiss chase, baked beans on toast. Add flip to the list.
This Earth and Constellation Globe from brightminds is truly excellent.
As a normal globe, it is well detailed geographically and is a more sturdier globe than most on the market.
In the polished metal base there is a light sensor, which changes the Globes appearance dramatically when the lights go out. The star map illuminates 88 different constellations in an electric blue. It looks stunning.
As a gift, I think this is perfect for little ones with enquiring minds. It makes a spectacular (yet subtle enough to be a) nightlight.
With this on site reduced from £54.99 to £39.99, this is great value….better get yours quick!!
Brightminds is a fantastic site offering toys that stimulate and inspire.
