The Geyser Tube is nothing more than a novelty toy really, but a novelty toy that will provide you and your friends hours of fun and frolics. The Geyser Tube will transform any fizzy drink bottle into a fountain of bubbles and fizz.

The Geyser Tube is not going to cost you the earth either, coming in at under a fiver. You will obviously have to buy the fizzy drink too.
Not only do you need the Geyser Tube and some fizzy pop, you also require some fresh mint sweets. Instructions aren’t really needed for the Geyser Tube really. All you need to do is screw the Geyser Tube on to the fizzy pop bottle and load the mints in to the tube and voila, you’re ready to create a huge geyser. There’s a handy little tab on the bottom of the Geyser Tube to stop the mints falling in to the fizzy pop before you are ready.

These geysers are not for the faint of heart; some of them can reach 30ft high! That’s pretty impressive in my book. The Geyser Tube works best with diet cola drinks, but will work with pretty much any fizzy pop.

All you’ll need after a few hours of playing with the Geyser Tube is someone to clean up all the sticky mess that will be left behind.

Owning a real helicopter can be an expense most of us can’t afford. So the PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter is the next best thing. Small enough to fit in your hand, the PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter is one of those gadgets that you’ll love straight away. The PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter is made from strong foam so those little accidents you may have whilst learning to fly it won’t damage it.

The PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter is controlled via infra red. This might not be the ideal solution in my opinion, but it works well. Charging the PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter takes about 30 minutes and in return you’ll get approximately 10 minutes of flying time.

The PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter has an impressive range of up to 30 feet! More than enough to chase the cat around.

Costing under £20, you’re hardly going to break the bank buying the PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter, and buy it you should.

You’re going to absolutely love playing with the PicoZ Apache Micro Helicopter because of its simplicity. Once you’ve mastered the controls you’ll be zooming around the living room like a pro. Planning your imaginary raids on the sweets on the coffee table, and swooshing over your mates’ heads.

Today I received a Nintendo DS Lite. I had reservations about getting it to be honest, having owned a Sony PSP in the past. I used the PSP for a while, then the novelty wore off.

The Nintendo DS Lite will be different I hope. The ability to play Nintendo GameBoy Advance games on it is obviously an added bonus. Incidentally, I got the black version of the Nintendo DS Lite.

When I get a new gadget through the post I’m like a child at times. I get really impatient waiting for the post, then there’s pure joy and elation when the gadget arrives. Today was no different. The postman was late this morning too, prolonging my torture. But, when he did arrive, it was pure joy. The Nintendo DS Lite is a beautiful gadget, and I’m sure I’ll make a lot of use of it. Obviously in order to use the Nintendo DS Lite to its full advantage you need some games. I overlooked that minor point, but have place an order for the brain training games. I also have GameBoy Advance games, so all it not lost.

If you haven’t got one of these, you really should get one. I know it’s going to be extremely useful for me on my long train journeys.

I suppose we all have moments when we get a mental block. Thinking putty is quite unique because you can stretch it, bounce it, tear it, make it drip and even shatter it. It is perfect for stress relief, and we all get a bit stressed sometimes. The Thinking putty is perfect for the office or home, even students can make use of it.

In all honesty I can’t think of any practical use for the Thinking putty. I do know however that it does pass the time quite nicely. It can even help those grey cells get working again by giving them a rest for a while. Everyone needs to take a break from the daily grind and Thinking putty is ideal for that. It definately is great fun.

Give it as a gift to the stressed out members of your family. Costing less than £7 it is the ideal novelty gift to give.
The Thinking putty comes in a variety of colours. There are even magnetic and glow in the dark versions of the Thinking putty.

Christmas is just around the corner, so why not start getting those stocking fillers in now. Kids and adults alike will love playing with the Thinking putty. I promise you, you’ll not be able to put it down.

On Tuesday the 9th September, Apple had a special event. At this special event they unveiled a couple of new things. One of them was a new, redesigned Apple iPod Nano. As you can see from the picture they’re very sleek and shiny. So what exactly is new about them? Well, the new iPod Nanos come in nine vibrant colours from yellow to pink. Also there’s the Genius function. This function allows you to create a playlist by searching through your entire music collection and playing songs that go well together. Another new and quite frankly, pretty amazing addition that Apple demonstrated was the “shake to shuffle” feature. Just shake the iPod Nano and a random song from your collection will be played. This is all down to the new accelerometer that they’ve built right in. Having this new feature also lets you play games that have been specifically designed for the iPod Nano.

In addition to all these cool new features, there’s a high resolution, 2-inch widescreen display, so you can watch TV shows and videos on the new iPod Nano. This also means that you can view your favourite pictures too, whether they are landscape or portrait. Just rotate, the Nano will automatically display your picture in the correct format. The new Nano even has CoverFlow. This will allow you to scroll through and view all your album art.

What I haven’t mentioned yet is that the new iPod Nano is beautifully curved. This alone makes me want to go out and buy one.
The battery life is impressive too, with 24 hours for music playback and 4 hours for video. All this packed into a device that’s less than half an inch thick. It’s the thinnest iPod ever. The new Nano comes in 8Gb or 16Gb capacities and costs from £109

If you can’t wait for the new iPod to become available on PriceGrabber, then have a look at the existing range of Apple Nanos that are available to buy today.

This gadget is one for the ladies. I bet you’re thinking how the WineRack bra is going to save you money, right. The answer to that is quite simple; you can fill the WineRack bra with your favourite beverage. Be that alcoholic or non-alcoholic, the choice is entirely up to you. It’s a fantastic way of carrying 750ml of your favourite tipple, and it has a drinking tube that’s long enough to route to wherever you wish. No longer will you have to pay vastly inflated drinks prices at festivals, gigs, or special events, just take your own. You can even use it down your local pub or club.

The WineRack bra comes in stylish black, and is available in two sizes; small and medium. The small size will fit 32A to 36A and the medium will fit 34B to 38B. And that’s not all; the WineRack bra will increase your cup size by 2.

With prices going up in pubs and clubs across the UK, and supermarkets being so much cheaper, this is the ideal solution. No longer will you have to sacrifice your much loved night out because of the cost. The WineRack bra will make your partying can become cheaper than ever before. Costing under £20, this will pay for itself over and over again. It will probably pay for itself on the first night that you use it. Grab yours today.

This one is especially for all you chocaholics out there. The Chococlock is a clock, but with a difference. Every hour this lovely gadget will deliver a scrumpteous chocolate treat. It’s definately a gadget for the serious chocoholic. The Chococlock will even tell the time, but there’s a sting in it’s tail… you only have 30 seconds to get your hands on your chocolate treat. Obviously if you can’t wait an hour to get some chocolate the Chococlock has a “cheat” button, which will allow you to get a treat whenever you wish.

The Chococlock holds 30 pieces of delicious chocolate treats. Which is more than enough isn’t it? Coming in at under £20 it’s not only a chocolate treat, but a treat on the pocket too. The chocoholic in your life will love you forever for getting them this gadget.

I love chocolate and having to wait an hour for a treat helps me with my diet. But for some reason my finger keeps slipping on to the “cheat” button and a piece of chocolate magically appears, which is obviously a shame to waste. The only complaint I have about the Chococlock is that it’s pink. Pink doesn’t really appeal to me, but I’m sure you girlies will love it.

So what are you wating for… get the Chococlock today.

Wow! That’s what I said when I came across this lovely piece of gadgetry. And if you have shelves and shelves of video tapes, you should be going wow too!

Video cassettes have been around for a long time, almost 30 years in fact, so the USB VHS Converter has been a long time coming. The USB VHS Converter will let you convert those dusty, bulky, noisy cassettes into digital format. And according to the manufacturers, it’s idiot proof - which is good news for me
You just put the tape in the machine and let it do the rest. Not only will it convert your tapes into digital format, you can use it as a regular VHS player too. Just connect it up to your television using a scart lead.

I can see this being a huge hit with all those people who desperately want to get their precious memories converted to digital.
At present you have to send your tapes away, or invest in expensive equipment to do it yourself, but with this it’s a doddle, and at a price that isn’t going to break the bank. I’ve known some people to go to the trouble of buying a DVD Recorder and connecting all the cables between their VHS Recorder and DVD Recorder, only to find out that they’ve missed a vital step after going through hours of tape.

The solution is now a simple one. Get the USB VHS Converter. The only problem you’ll have after converting all your tapes to digital format is what to do with all the shelf space you’ve freed up.

The Beijing Olympics got off to a flying start yesterday with an absolutely fantastic opening ceremony. The Chinese have set a very high standard for any future games. I wish all the best to the Great Britain team.

Fancy having some Olympic fun of your own? You need to get your hand on Sega Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
Developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and DS systems, it includes all of your favourite characters from Nintendo and Sega.
Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi and Tails all make an appearance plus many many more.

This game will keep you entertained for hours on end, whether it’s running the 100 meters, swimming or taking part in the high jump. Compete against 3 of your friends, on both systems, and the games really do begin.

Will you get the coveted gold medal?
There’s only one way to find out. Sega Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is a game for all the family and is highly recommended, receiving 3.5/5 from the reviewers on pricegrabber.

Hopefully Sonic and Mario can team up for many more games in the future and I’m sure they will. The success of this game has been amazing and for under £30 you can’t really go wrong.
It’s a must have game for the Nintendo Wii and with the Olympics on the television you too can pretend to take part.

Sega Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has flawless graphics and the gameplay is amazing. Highly recommended

The weather we’re having at the moment is terrible. We should be out enjoying the sun, but its hardly to be seen.
My guess is that it will be hot in September when all the children are back at school.
So how do you keep the kids entertained when it’s too wet for them to go outside?

There are some great indoor games that they can play. I’m not talking about sitting infront of an XBOX360 or PS3 here. I mean the games that involve more than moving just your thumbs. A favourite in my household was Twister - we could play that for hours on end. Then there’s Lego. If you don’t know what Lego is let me explain. Lego are building blocks that you can piece together to create a huge number of things from houses to cars, boats to planes and even animals or spaceships. And, provided you have the right kind of block or accessory you can let your imagination run riot. I’ve spent many a rainy day playing with Lego.

Or what about a play tent? Set it up indoors, make a picnic and let your kids pretend they are camping in the safety of the house? They can even sleep in it, while you relax in the knowledge that they are safe. And when the rain eventually stops, you can take it outside and continue with the adventure.

So just because it’s raining outside doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. There are a whole lot of things you can do, as I’ve pointed out, that don’t involve a television and control pad. So next time it rains reach for a board game, the hours will fly past.
