Red Hot Chilli Jellies. TRU VIRTU Wallet Oyster Series. When it comes to keeping your cards and cash safe and secure, you could fold them up in a bit of cowskin. After all, we’ve been doing the same thing for hundreds of years. Why change? Well no reason... only that technology, taste and materials have come a long way since our ancestors tanned their first leather pouch. So why not make like it’s the 21st century and keep your important stuff in something suitably up to date? The TRU VIRTU Wallet Oyster Series is a range of formed aluminium cases that’ll hold everything from coins to credit cards. The Oyster is also the first aluminium case to offer two completely separate areas for cash and cards.

Anodised in a range of colours, there’s an Oyster to suit all tastes. G-1 Glass Pool Table. The surface is just pure glass When hustlers in the distant future fancy a few frames, they won’t be racking up on some baize-covered antique made from wood and slate. No, they’ll probably knock their balls about on something resembling the truly stunning G-1 Glass Pool Table. The ultimate in ball-pocketing show-offery, this astonishing slice of ultra-modern design will completely redefine your perception of pool, without changing the gameplay one iota. Built to order by our Antipodean friends at Nottage Design, the award-winning G-1 employs patented technology to maximise your pool-shooting pleasure. We’re talking premium quality 15mm Monolithic Float glass with exposed polished edges, a lightweight skeletal frame with fully-visible ball-return mechanism, BCA-spec pockets and K-66 bumpers.

The words illuminate to tell the time We know that it’s normally considered bad form to sit and watch the clock, but in the case of this gorgeous digital time-piece, we’re making an exception. Sticking to the essentials, the QLOCKTWO dispenses with hands and numbers all together, preferring an elegant typographical display. This minimalist clock keeps you on time using statements such as ‘it is half past nine’ and ‘it is twenty five to twelve’, while the intervening minutes are indicated by a light in each corner. The clock body is made from hardwood with a high strength, glossy acrylic front plate available in several different colours with a polished finish.

Completely adjustable, the QLOCKTWO has an automatic light sensor and multiple brightness settings, as well as the option to show seconds and the date. Available in four colours: Also comes with desktop stand If it’s about time you made a statement (about time), then look no further than the QLOCKTWO. Skatecycle. Skateboards, rollerblades, snakeboards... we’re not short of ways to get around town, over park benches and up old people’s noses. But the Skatecycle, from US company Brooklyn Workshop, outclasses them all.

Already making waves across the pond, this cool piece of kit is the world’s first self-propelled hubless skate. Just slot your feet into the space where the hubs should be and carve down a hill (like a snowboarder), or weave along the flat. The clever set up lets you propel yourself along indefinitely, without ever taking your feet off the plates! The design looks like something straight out of Tron! Propel yourself along the flats Choose your Skatecycle in original white for wowing the crowds as you pass by. Sure, mastering the Skatecycle takes time (20 minutes in our case. Pistachio Nut Serving Bowls. Picture the scene. You’re sitting around with pals, putting the world to rights, and you decide it’s time for some lush, fresh pistachios, served in your amazing Pistachio Nut Serving Bowl set.

What a glorious idea. Nuts in one side. Shells in the other. Suddenly everyone starts cracking into the nuts, gorging, scrapping for the next one. But here’s the thing: shelled pistachios just cannot be rushed. Kite Patch Makes You Invisible To Mosquitos. It’s summertime and everyone is complaining mosquito bites. Me? I’ve got a clever solution to avoid the problem. It’s called being a hermit and never opening your windows. It’s pretty effective, but some people actually like sunshine and human interaction (go figure right?) So it doesn’t work for everyone. Via: io9. Flip Alarm Clock.
