In the world of technology, time moves very fast. There are constantly new gadgets and toys being released. Some turn out to be pointless or over the top (like the iPotty for kids…yeah, just google it), but some of them can be worth looking at. I have picked out a couple of practical and a couple of fun ones that I have recently come across, that are worth sharing.
Xtorm Power Bank 7300
We all know the dread and panic that fills you when you’re about to make a call and realize that your beloved smartphone is running out of battery. We have in the past mentioned phone chargers that use solar power, but this one, you won’t even have to worry about having to stick it onto a window. You simply charge it from home and tuck it away into your bag for the next time your phone runs low on juice. This nifty little device let’s you hook up your own USB cable to it, making it compatible with any mobile device. It even lets you charge two mobile devices at the same time!

Mujjo Touchscreen Gloves
Having a smartphone is a blessing, but when you’re standing outside in the cold and wearing gloves, trying to use your phone can also be a nightmare. Personally, I’ll spend 10 minutes trying to find a way to use my phone without letting the cold get to my hands, before I actually pluck up the courage to just take off my gloves. On the other hand, I’m not so keen on the look of some of the touchscreen gloves I’ve come across. That’s where a lovely brand named Mujjo comes in. Their touchscreen gloves don’t have the tips of two fingers in a different colour, aren’t bulky and biker looking. They are wonderfully designed, and come in several different colours, including lavender. (If you are looking for something a bit more high end, Mujjo also make a leather version of their gloves, but these are of course a bit more expensive)

Bone Collection Amplifier
There are loads of cool and stylish speakers out there that you can take around with you when you’re out and about. However, how about one that is made of silicone and doesn’t actually use any battery from your phone? What’s more, this speaker brings back the gramophone look. Granted, it isn’t the type of speaker you would have at a party and the sound isn’t amazing, but if you’re just looking for a simplistic amplifier with a funky look that you can toss in your bag and take along to a picnic, this is the one for you.

Retro Phone Handset
There are very few that actually still have those old school bulky phones that people used to have at home back in the day. Now, almost every home has a wireless handset for their landline. However, if you’re feeling nostalgic and miss the good old days, you can buy a retro handset that you can plug into your phone. It’s big, bulky, and won’t fit in your handbag, but at least you’ll attract plenty of attention and have a good laugh!
Cost: £15 on overstock.com
