Cast out your mobile phones (but keep the SIM card it’s quite important) and get ready for a new dawn in mobile technology. The sWap Watch has arrived. For too long the mobile phone has dominated the landscape of techno communications while the trusty watch was left alone on the bedside table gathering dust while we its selfish masters galavanted from meeting to meeting keeping time with our trusty pocket sized PDA’s. The mobile phone heartlessly usurped the watch of its fundamental duties but the ‘sWap Watch’ is out for revenge and will not stop until the mobile phone has gone the way of the Sun Dial and the Dodo. The tables have now been turned. The sWap Watch doesn’t just double as a mobile phone – it’s like having a multimedia centre strapped to your wrist and all without the crushing shoulder strain. Want to check your emails? Surf the internet? Listen to music? Take Pictures? Watch a movie? MAKE a movie? It does ALL of these. It’s in danger of completely eradicating boredom revolutionising every minute of your day into a potential fun zone. The next time you’re stuck on the train you’ll just need to check out the 1.5 inch screen on your wrist for an instant fix of entertainment that’ll turn your commute into a pleasure cruise rather than a chore. The memory card slot allows you to insert a Micro SD card to upgrade the 512MB on board memory to a whopping 2GB. With all that memory you’ll have no problem storing all the MP3s and movies you’d need for a short jaunt. If you really get bored (and with this watch it’s hard to see how you could) you could even check the time (from one of the many different watch faces stored in it’s memory) or make a phone call. The watch will accept most SIM cards so upgrading is hassle free and making calls couldn’t be simpler – just plug in the hands free kit and you’re good to go. If you really want to go one step beyond and banish those pesky wires along with your mobile phone then you’ll be ecstatic to hear that the watch is Bluetooth compatible. You won’t even have to fork out for the headset as it’s included in the package. This may just be the last gadget you ever need to buy. The future has arrived and it’s a wristwatch. A watch a mobile phone and a media centre all rolled into one. Choose from a number of different watch faces stored in the sWap Watches’ memory.

The Brisbane Tabletop BBQ is custom-built for your summer. If you’re like us you’ll agree that BBQs can potentially be the meal of the year (unless they end in meat-sweats) and with one of these portable affairs you’ll be able to have that meal anywhere. All you have to do is load it up with charcoal close the lid and take it wherever you think could be improved by some burnt chicken wings. For ease of use and convenience the Tabletop BBQ is unbeatable. Not only can you fold it up and carry it like a culinary briefcase it can be assembled easily on a tabletop on the floor or any suitable surface. The grill itself is made of durable steel and is completely adjustable so if you’re fiercely battling to get closer to your meagre heat-source or simply warming some baps you can get it right every time. Unlike so many cheap and cheerful and supposedly-tabletop barbecues the Brisbane won’t leave a charcoal-y mess on your new garden furniture – this is a long-lasting serious little cooking device. So when the sun decides to put in an appearance you can pack up the Tabletop BBQ and sprint outside to the nearest suntrap and make the most of it while it lasts. Ideal for the garden the beach the park (when the park ranger’s not looking) or just about anywhere you fancy having the summer’s most enjoyable meal. What a sizzler!

Rubbish Bags., the name is very deceptive. Neither are these fabulously chic and environmentally friendly accessories for putting rubbish in, nor are they ‘rubbish’. They are however made from 100% recycled non-biodegradable juice packs and make ideal gifts for anyone that concerns themselves with the state of the environment, those who want to do their bit towards solving global poverty, and even those who just want to look good. With retail outlets ‘going green’ and gradually introducing charges for plastic bags what better time than to invest in a quality, reusable, environmentally and economically friendly piece of fashion?

Twoflower was a tourist the first ever seen on the Discworld. Tourist Rlncewind decided meant idiot. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own but which looks completely different. It plays by different rules. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers. But just because the Disc is different doesn’t mean that some things don’t stay the same. Its very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the arrival of the first tourist upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. But if the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers mercenaries and well Death is a spectacularly inept wizard a little logic might turn out to be a very good idea…
