Personalised Monopoly Board

Darren — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:40:22 +0000

Everybody has heard of Monopoly, one of the biggest selling board games over the past 70 years! Monopoly is a game that can be played from around the age of 8 and features the buying of streets and properties in order to take control of all the assets.

Rather than digging out the same game that everybody else plays, why not get your loved-one a custom, made-to-order Monopoly board direct from the official Monopoly factory? Hasbro have given players the opportunity to purchase this fantastic gift for their friends/relatives to give a truly unique Monopoly experience.

Everything from the title of the board, the names of the properties, names of stations and the artwork (to an extent) and be modified to suit your requirements. I would have liked to have been able to customize the ‘chance’ and ‘community chest’ cards individually but the options available will still allow you to create a unique game.

My Monopoly is available to purchase exclusively from Firebox.com. When you purchase My Monopoly you will receive a voucher which can then be redeemed for the board game and will allow you to choose your custom options. At £79.99 this isn’t the cheapest of gifts, but it will be sure to put a smile on the recipients face and each time it is played, they will remember it was from you.

Lump of Coal

Sudokube

Darren — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 13:15:43 +0000

What would happen if two of the most addictive puzzles the world has ever seen decided to have a child? Presenting, the Sudokube. A cross between the ever-popular Rubik’s Cube and a Sudoku puzzle, the Sudokube can provide hours of enjoyment (and frustration) to even the most hardcore of puzzlers.

The Rubik’s Cube, originally developed by a Hungarian waiter, has sold in excess of 300 million units globally. The challenge is to rotate the cube until all six sides contain just one colour each. The Sudokube adds an extra challenge by requiring each side to contain the numbers 1-9. The puzzle isn’t complete until all six sides contain all nine numbers.

For anybody who enjoys puzzles of any sort, the Sudokube will be the perfect gift. I actually bought one for my father last year and he loved it. As a child, having seen him ‘borrow’ my Rubik’s Cube for hours on end I knew that this gift would be ideal.

The Sudokube is available from Prezzybox at just £5.95 (plus postage).

TomTom Start Sat Nav System

Darren — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:00:55 +0000

When lost in a car, the vast majority of men would rather not ask for directions. It would seem we would rather spend the time and find our own way. The reason? Pride! Relying on somebody else telling you where to go is not a ‘manly’ thing to do. This was the case before satellite navigation systems (Sat Nav’s).

The TomTom Start Sat Nav System is the perfect item for a novice technology user. It has been built to be very easy to use and includes full maps for the UK and Republic of Ireland. The EasyPort mount, that attaches your Sat Nav to the window, folds into the unit allowing it to be easily carried rather than left in the car to be stolen.

One major advantage of the TomTom Start is the IQ Routes system, which can be helpful to avoid ‘rush-hour’ traffic by suggesting alternative routes depending on the time of day. Although the IQ Routes system is available, this Sat Nav does not allow the user to choose to avoid motorways or toll roads on their route like the higher priced models do. This could prove to be a problem to new drivers or those who are uncomfortable with motorway driving.

The TomTom Start is also customizable, with a variety of skins and bags available, however these are not provided along with this package.

If you are looking for a gift for somebody who isn’t very good with gadgets but would benefit from owning a satellite navigation system, then the TomTom Start is most likely the best starting point. At just £79.99 (with free postage) it falls in line with the price of lower quality brands, yet still holds on to what makes TomTom a market leader.

Light Up Football

Darren — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 19:25:42 +0000

During the summer, one of things I participate in with friends is a game of football after work. Unfortunatly, during the winter months, this is made difficult with the sun setting whilst I’m still at work. It isn’t worth paying for a flood-lit pitch when there are only five or six of us so we resort to local parks (when they are not being used for other matches).

We once even tried playing into the night and I’m positive that it was this night that we lost our best ball. If only we had a ball that had it’s own light source! Introducing the Zuru Mini Light Up Football.

Although it will be difficult to see the other players, everybody will be able to see the football as it darts around the pitch. The Zuru balls are available in three striking colours; red, green and blue, however they are picked at random so there is no way of knowing which you will receive.

This would be a perfect gift for football fans, both adults and children alike. The dimensions of the ball are just 14cm so they are by no means full-sized (hence the use of ‘mini’ the the product name).

Instant Snow in a Can

Darren — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:08:53 +0000

Following the UK’s coldest winter in 30 years, the snow is piling up across the country. Although people are complaining of the conditions, once it’s gone there are going to be people who moan that it is all over. Why not offer these people a gift that they can hide away for a time when they miss the winter-y look and feel of fresh snow?

Introducing Instant Snow in a Can. By just adding water to the sachet contained within the can, 20g of powder creates 1.5 litres of snow. After a couple of days the snow will dehydrate and can be easily vacuumed up, if you want the snow to last a little longer just add more water.

This doesn’t create the type of snow that you would use to build a snowman, yet it would be perfect for using as decoration on a table or on a Christmas Tree next winter.

So, once the snow has all disappeared from our roads and gardens we have no reason to wait around for the next snowfall, use instant snow instead. The price is just £3.99 for a can of instant snow plus the postage.

Please note that this gift is not suitable for children and is only recommended for ages 14+.

Huge Box of Sweet Nostalgia

Guest Author — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:30:30 +0000

If you loved sweets as a kid, you might have more than just one favourite. I used to love penny sweets, especially seeing how many tasty sweets I could get for my 20 pence a day. As I got older, the only thing that changed was my budget! However, old-fashioned sweet shops are pretty rare these days, so you’re going to have to work hard to find your favourite sweets.

Thankfully, the Huge Box of Sweet Nostalgia solves the problem of hunting for all your fave confectionery. Kids, big and small, will appreciate the range of candy in this 3.1kg box of sweets! The collection includes fried eggs, flying saucers, gobstoppers, blackjacks, dip dabs, rainbow drops, sherbet fountains, wham bars, Love Hearts, Parma Violets, Refreshers chews, and loads more.

With the huge number of sweets in this box, you’re going to be well-stocked with sweets for a good few weeks. However, unless you want plenty of fillings in your teeth, I suggest you share the box with your mates at the office! Although there’ll be less for you if you share, you will be popular!

This is a guest article by Dan Harrison, who has his very own online sweet shop, which stocks all kinds of sweets, from conventional chocolate raisins and pear drops, to the curious chocolate pebbles and chocolate crayons.

Roberts Ecologic4 Eco-Friendly DAB Digital Radio

Guest Author — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:05:27 +0000

I like to listen to the radio while in the workshop or outside doing yardwork. The Robert’s Ecologic4 digital stereo radio fits the bill for use outdoors. Unlike other digital radios, this unit has a really long battery life. It takes a lot of power to get good strong reception and quality sound out of a digital radio. This radio gets up to 150 hours of use out of one set of six LR20 (size D) batteries. That’s more than five times the battery life of what you’d get from any other digital radio. Plus the radio can be hooked up to the power mains so you don’t waste batteries while using it indoors.

Other features of the Ecologic4 are FM and DAB digital stereo operation, manual or search tuning, and 20 station presets. The radio has a 16×2 line backlit LCD character display that shows the FM RDS station information and all menu selections and functions. Sound is rich and full with the large front speakers and the radio has headphones and line output sockets.

The Robert’s Ecologic4 DAB/FM digital stereo radio is £89.99 including VAT. The radio is a portable 300mm x 180mm x 95mm deep, weighs 2kg and is available in either silver or black.
