‘Instant’ steam-on-demand for cleaning all round the home

• This superb high-spec steam mop from cleaning experts, Ewbank, is a fast, effective and chemical-free way of removing stubborn grease, grime and stains from tiles, vinyl, sealed wooden floors and even outdoor decking and patios. And, thanks to its ‘carpet glider’, you can now clean your rugs and carpets with minimum fuss too. Unlike cheaper imitations from other manufacturers that take an age to warm-up, the powerful 1500W Rapid steam mop is ready to produce steam in just 60 seconds which can be released when you want it, where you want it by using the trigger. The large 750ml water tank provides 25 minutes usage – enough to get most jobs done without a refill – and the integrated water softener treats tap water to prevent a build-up of limescale which can reduce the efficiency of a steam cleaner.

Ever wanted to re-create the scene in ‘Big’ where Tom Hanks plays the giant floor piano with his feet? Surely it’s not just us? Well with our Giant Keyboard you can – it’s like the 80s never went away! We’re glad they did though… Still this huge pianoforte just has to be laid on the floor turned on and walked over to create a sound. No matter if you’re a novice of notes or a musical maestro (with your feet) you’ll be able to make music in no time at all. Because it’s a modern sort of keyboard it comes fully equipped with 8 different musical instrument sounds including standard piano saxophone violin and even vibraphone for fans of exploratory jazz… not sure there’ll be too many of you though. It’s also a great way to get younger folk interested in playing an instrument. Rather than having their fingers snapped with a ruler by a fusty old teacher each time their hands lose position (again just us?) why not let them dance about on the keyboard and create sounds for themselves? But why let the nippers have all the fun? If you’re of a certain age and Tom Hanks-loving persuasion then you can team up with a friend and play ‘Chopsticks’ until the cows come home (or the neighbours complain). You can record your efforts with the keyboard’s 80-note memory and then play them back or let the keyboard itself show you how it’s done by listening to one of the ten demo songs. It’s also a fine accompaniment (see what we did there?) to a good party – sort of like a mixture of karaoke and Twister of you like. Basically it’s an excuse to muck about with your mates or a great fun way to get your kids taking an interest in and learning about musical instruments. However you end up playing with it just make sure you move your feet to the beat!

In this the age of communication you need never be far from home what with email telephones and the like. Yet technology becomes rather sterile and impersonal compared with the comforting warmth of this Sweet Talking Bear. There’s nothing like hearing a loved one’s comforting voice when they are far away and this teddy bear goes some way to making up for the lack of their presence (unless of course your loved one is less than 30cm high fluffy and has a voice recorder hidden inside them in which case it will go a long way). Simply pre-record your personal message and the ones you leave behind will have a mini fluffy replacement that will console your family with the sound of your voice. Make sure you don’t stay away for too long though as you may find that within a matter of weeks your wife or girlfriend would rather go to bed with this snuggly bear than you (husbands and boyfriends may take longer to sway). Comforting and microwaveable this teddy is perfect for children and grown-ups alike when that special someone is far far away.
