Car Toys For Him and Her

January 27th, 2010

If you haven’t noticed, driving is very popular these days and car toys and gadgets are big business. There are a whole variety of toys and accessories that are intended to make you car more functional or just add a bit of character to your wheels. Let’s take a little look at 4 of the latest and greatest car toys for boys and girls.

Variable heated seats. When your in a car, especially for long periods of time, being uncomfortable or cold is never a nice experience. Heated seats have been around for a little while now, but the latest generation allows you to vary the heat for different body parts. For those people who enjoy having one leg hotter than the other, or a warm lower back, but cool neck…then this is the gadget for you my friend. These make spot on Christmas presents also as they are perfect for winter months.

360 TV. Guys like watching TV, fact. That said, they cannot enjoy it whilst driving around as men are terrible at multi tasking, as well as the fact it is very illegal. They need not suffer any longer though, as now you can get CCTV of 360 degrees around the car routed in to the dashboard from cameras mounted very subtly all around the exterior. Parking and spying on pedestrians have never been so easy.


Makeup mirror
. Probably more gifts for girls these things, rear-view mirrors that flip over to reveal a magnifying mirror, perfect for checking the makeup and applying lipstick. We don’t advise you use these whilst driving however, regardless of how important your date is.


Sound effects horn
. Every man dreams of owning a Ferrari or an apache attack helicopter. Unfortunately, unless you’re a millionaire or a helicopter pilot, you’re going to have to settle for a multi-effect car horn. These amazing gifts for men can replicate over 100 cool sounds, including explosions, super car sounds and animal noises. They may not be road legal everywhere, but at least you can scare the living daylights out of your in-laws when you pull into their driveway.

Top Gadgets This Christmas

November 16th, 2009

Boys have always liked their toys, and this has never been as true as it is today, where people have more free time than ever before. Men tend to get up to mischief if they haven’t got something to keep them occupied, and gadgets do this job beautifully, although they can sometimes cause more mischief to occur. Here are 3 of the latest and greatest boys toys to hit the market, and any men reading will likely want to get their hands on them straight away.


Swiss Army Phone
. We all know that mobile (cell) phones have come on a long way since the first models and can now do pretty much any digital task under the sun. However, Korea have announced the release of a new phone that doubles and survival kit and everyday super-tool.  According to the makers it will include a knife, bottle opener, pen, compass, scissors and even an electric razor, making them ideal gifts for men.

Glass Cleaning Bot. Men don’t like doing house work, its as simple as that. This gadget thorough makes part of it as easy as pie. This gravity defying robot secures itself to glass via vacuum suckers and has sensors on it that make it change direction when it runs out of glass. This means that you can leave it alone and it will clean the whole piece of glass using rotating cleaning brushes. The mini window cleaner runs on small batteries and is the size of a cell phone, so can be transported with ease. These gadgets also make great gifts for her, because let’s face it, women like to be lazy sometimes as well.

Double Video Shades. You have been able to get glasses that incorporate mini video screens in them for quite some time now. What is a new invention thorough, are glasses that not only have internal monitors, but have outwardly-pointing monitors as well.  This comes in very handy when in a class room or a meeting when you want to watch a bit of TV without anyone knowing. You can happily enjoy an episode of Friends on your inward-pointing and show the rest of the word a video of your eyes, wide awake and listening intently on the outward-pointing ones. Genius!
