Tefal Gelato: Dangerously addictive ice-cream maker
Up until a few weeks ago I had no experience of ice cream makers. I'd even go as far as saying was a little sceptical of their abilities. No-one I knew had one or had used one.

Eton’s Solar iPod Speakers
The off-grid lifestyle really appeals to me. Not in an "I'm a neo-nazi and I don't want to pay taxes" type way, but in a "I'd like to live in a cabin in the woods and make furniture out of hazel twigs" type way. So, when something like the Eton Soulra XL Solar Powered iPod Speaker Dock (£199.99, … [Read more...]
