Singin’ in the Shower

Do you like to sing in the shower or enjoy some tunes at the beach? You're not alone, however, with all our music loaded onto and iPod, there are a couple of challenges; damage from water or sand and a speaker to share the music at the beach.

We love discovering cute solutions to small challenges and the Zumreed Drop Speaker is one such solution. Water and shock resistant, this adorable little speaker system works with any music player with a 3.5mm earphone jack and the buttons on the outside of the drop control volume. It's great for the bathroom as there is a little rope to hang it from. Available in white, pink or blue, it's just so simple and cute.

The Zumreed Drop Speaker is available on The Shopping Channel website for $57.95 plus $7.97 shipping and handling.

This is One Good Earbud™

What does your personal safety have in common with music?

With the evolution of ipods and smartphones and the handsfree driving laws, a lot of our time is spent with earbuds plugged into our ears. The problem is that we can't hear what's going on around us.  Jogging around the neighbourhood, walking through the busy city streets and driving has taken on a whole set of new safety issues. Taking one of the earbuds out doesn't work well either because the sounds quality is impaired.

Stereo music has two channels which often sound different and each channel typically is played through one side of the earbud set. If you remove one channel you lose half the music. One Good Earbud™ mixes the two channels so you have all your music in one ear, leaving the other ear to listen to the world around you. Take a look at the video from Daily Grommet featuring One Good Earbud™ creator Kevin Goldstein.

Available in three different styles with option of a microphone add-on, One Good Earbud™ is available online starting at $19.99 with shipping to Canada at only $5.50.

The Callet = A Handsfree Outing

Don't get us wrong - we LOVE handbags of all shapes and sizes, however, sometimes we just don't want to carry one - especially when we're doing some heavy shopping! The problem is, where do we stash our phone, cash and cards?

The Callet solves the problem. Relatively new to the market, the Callet is a phone case and wallet in one. Available in several different colours and customized to fit many of the smartphones on the market, the Callet features easily accessible slit-style pockets that holds cash and cards without adding a lot of bulk. That means it slips easily into your pocket for a handsfree outing.

We haven't seen the Callet in stores yet, but it is available online for $14.99 and ships directly to Canada.

Twitter with Twittens

With the cold weather upon us, the need to wear gloves while outdoors has seriously impeded our ability to browse our smartphones.  Touch screens just don't work with gloved fingers.  Well, the world of communication and social media has just reached a whole new level.

Enter Twittens.  Billed as "Gloves for the text generation", Twittens are mittens that keep your hands warm but allow for easy access to your touchscreen with a flap on the thumb and forefinger.  Made of lightweight, black PolarTech™ fleece, Twittens offer warmth and perspiration management.  There are patches on the palm and the fingertips to prevent slipping while texting and the elasticized wrist cuff keeps the cold and snow out.

Twittens are brand new to the marketplace and are available at twittens.ca for $19.99.  They don't have their online shopping cart running yet, however, they are accepting orders via email and their homepage has an ORDER NOW box on the left side.
