French Press by Ritual

This arrived just in time for my morning drink so after quickly unpacking it I decided to give it a whirl with a pot of coffee, the pot was well packed in a bubble wrap sleeve and came with a spare/replacement mesh, it feels very nice, has a good weight to it and with the wood offset against the glass and steel it’s very aesthetically pleasing even more so once it has the dark brown of the coffee inside. I would also note a wooden lid is ideal as the teapot I have has a metal one and...

Stick on magnetic key holders

Living in rented accommodation has several downsides. One of the more practcal being that drilling holes in things is frowned upon.  Bought these as I was sick and tired of having nowhere to hang my keys and invariably wasting time in trying to find them when I'm in a rush. Doddle to fit using the supplied 3M pads (there's a few spares included also). I was very surprised at how strong the magnets are. I stuck a couple up for test purposes and they handled kitchen knives, key sets and even pliers without any problem. Highly recommended - they...

Zenzoi bamboo fountain pen

There’s something very proper about using a fountain pen. As a kid, a pen was a privilege at school, not a right and had to be earned. Attending Grammar school, Sheaffers and Watermans were reserved for the rich kids. Us poor kids used Parkers or some dodgy plastic knock offs that leaked everywhere. I’ve two nieces, graduating soon, so decided to buy them a nice fountain pen each as a present, in the vain hope that they will use them in their chosen career paths. I also bought myself one as my trusty Waterman (A present from my parents)...

Silverline holesaw kit

My tumble dryer of 9 years packed up. It had a removable electrical plug, so it was fitted through a small hole in the adjacent cupboard, then into a socket. When the new one arrived, first thing I spotted was the moulded plug and there was no way I was going to cut the plug off for obvious reasons. As the hole wouldn’t be seen, way back in a low cupboard, I purchased this set of hole saws as they were cheap as chips (and in a case). Brilliant addition to my toolset. Having selected the right size and...

NinaQueen - Starry Night - 925 Sterling Silver Charm

This latest addition to my daughters charm bracelet is really lovely, it comes in a nice presentation box with a cleaning cloth so is ideal should you be purchasing this as a gift for someone, this has gone straight on my daughters charm bracelet and she loves it. I have attached some pictures that hopefully show the great quality of this homage to Van Gogh’s Starry Night with the cut outs around the stars allowing the light through and silver stars with deep blue enamel inside allowing them to stand out with the two gold stars being inset...

NinaQueen - Mom,I Love You Forever - 925 Sterling Silver Charm

Beautiful and great quality, I have attached some photo’s which hopefully show you the high quality of this and have put it on a charm bracelet to show the contrast of the stones, silver and clear lettering on the quarter moon. I have also given a shot of this next to a 5p piece to give a better indication of size. This is a really beautiful charm which would look great on either a bracelet or necklace with the inset stones around the heart and top rings it certainly comes alive once the light hits it. This comes...

GoolRC T6 RC Waterproof Drone Quadcopter

First off I have to say I am a total novice when it comes to flying drones, I have never flown one before ever, the nearest I have got is flying a helicopter on battlefield 3 on my Xbox One so this was a totally new experience for me. The drone came in a nice branded box with four replacement propellers as well although I am pleased to say I have yet to break one, assembly was very simple just a case of screwing in the protective rings which I presume are optional but in my case a...

TOGUARD® Wildlife Camera 12MP Full HD 1080P

This is a really great camera and I am very impressed with the quality, it arrived well packed and all the lenses had a removable plastic protective cover. I gave the manuals a good read and then it was time to give it a test, I fitted the eight AA batteries needed, inserted a Micro SD card, removed the battery disable tag from the remote control and switched it to test mode. Once done you get a very good menu on the front under the flap, I performed various test captures in different modes which all worked as...

Premium Reshow® HD Video Recorder Box

For a few years now I have been using a Roxio HD pro which is a nice capture card but as good as it is I find it a real pain to set up or leave set up having cables from my Xbox One to the Roxio and cables from that running to my PC having to capture live via the capture software which also gives you a several second delay so when I saw this I thought great idea that’s for me. The setup could not be easier just HDMI input from the device you want to...

20 x Children's Foam Animal Masks

I purchased these for a children’s party as a last minute impulse buy and really pleased I did, the children loved them all running round with different masks having loads of fun wearing them, the quality was very good with no hard edges with each individually wrapped. They fitted well and all seemed to stay on. Foam animal masks with elasticated straps in 8 assorted designs. Giraffe, Monkey, Elephant, Mouse, Tiger, Bear, Cat, Dog, etc. Ideal for school plays, fairs and party bags. Each comes in polybag. Price: £7.29 PRODUCT LINK ...

Kivors Sport Bluetooth Smart Watch

This is a very nice watch and far from a novelty item, there have been a lot of apple smart watch clones trying to mimic rather than innovate but this is different and has moved away from trying to be like an apple watch and has done it very well. The watch comes in a nice presentation case and is a lot slimmer than other smart watches it fits nicely on the wrist and is comfortable, the switchable watch faces are nice and I particularly like the green hand one on the black background. I linked this up...

Cosmetic Mirror with Removable 10x Magnifying Mirror

Nice design lightweight mirror with lights that pack a powerful punch, with four daughters there is always a shortage of mirrors and this is ideal for them to fight over while I get to use the bathroom. It has a nice sleek design with the addition of a 10x zoom magnifying mirror that attaches with the help of two small rubber suckers on the back, the lights go up to an almost blinding brightness but you can hold the button to adjust/dim them to the required level. The mirror comes flat with a clip in base and is...

AZALCO High Definition Virtual Reality Headset

I will start off by saying I am a complete novice with these devices and this is my first experience of using one so started with zero knowledge. This came nicely packed and had peel off protective screens on all the lenses, after unpacking and taking a few shots I fitted the straps which was a very simple process of slotting them through the strap slots on the headset, it was also very easy to adjust with the velcro straps. I then had to do a bit of research on games, apps and found many videos to use...

Swim goggles - Anti-Fog Coated Tinted Lens

I purchased these for my daughter, she’s 10 years old and really into her swimming now and had been using a very cheap set of goggles that really did a very poor job and finally fell apart. These came in a nice zip up case with the addition a nose clip and ear plugs, the screens had a protective film on you just peal off, the adjustment is fairly stiff to adjust but not in a bad way as this means they should not slip or loosen easily. My daughter has given them a good test and when...
