Rhinestone-studded 'phones

Wear your heart on your lobes

An audio accessory for really girly girls, these rhinestone-studded heart eardrops are sure to do a roaring trade over Valentine’s day…

Unromantically dubbed the EHP-AIN30, Elecom's encrusted earbuds come with adjustable ear pieces so they're guaranteed a squishy fit in your lobes.

Linda & Leonora LapBag

My, what a long way laptop bags have come from their black canvas beginnings. This raspberry leather carrier is too, too chic…

Available in two sizes – small and large – and two shades -- raspberry and chocolate - the bags tote a removable laptop sleeve as well as a pocket for leads, mobile phone and other frippery.

Philips Bikini Perfect Trimmer

Philips Bikini Perfect trim-trimmer will ensure that you’re in tip-top shape for Valentine’s Day…

The pamper product trims, shapes, shaves and epilates. Its stainless steel bod’ is perfectly sized for a woman’s paw and fabulously free of wires. This is a good thing if you’re going to get technical and snip-snip in your man’s initials.

Microfolio Chic iPod case

Treat your iPod to the best wrap out there

These iPod wallets live up to their name – they're as chic as Jimmy Choos! The pink or white cases have a detachable carabina and a selection of nifty pockets to tuck your cards or dosh into...

Gorgeous and practical, just the way we like it.

JBL alarm clock

Getting up in the morning is never going to be a pleasant experience, but at least you can soften the blow with this beautifully designed iPod alarm clock from JBL...

With a giant snooze button on its curvaceous top, you won't have any trouble putting off the inevitable – although you're more likely to want to leave it on as you yawn back to life.

Diamond-encrusted hair straighteners!

Enough with the semi-precious hair straighteners already

Don't mail that wish list off to Santa just yet - you're going to want to add this diamond-encrusted pamper product to it...

Worth more than the down payment on a starter home, the limited-edition hair tamer flashes six Dutch Crown Rose-Cut diamonds and an 18-carat yellow and white gold bod'!

Plus, it comes nestled inside an Italian leather pouch so the big man won't even have to waste time wrapping it for you!

Hip-Pop Pets

Hip-Pop pets are speaker-toting trolls that jig about to your tunes. Quite frankly, we don't think any self-respecting diva should be looking at them with any reason other than their niece's Christmas pressie in mind...

There's a doggy, an owl, a piggy and a froggy in the Hip Pop Pets farmyard. The 'Pod-friendly speakers let you listen to the music from your precious player way or you can mess around with their built-in jingles.

Hip Pop Pets also let you make like Gilles Peterson and mix your own sound effects with your favourite ditty.

Marware shuffle dock

Apple’s new shuffle’s a master class in minimalism, but those pint-sized proportions come at a cost to connectivity...

Slip an extra dock in your pocket and sync your shuffle on the go.

The new model’s done away with its predecessor’s direct USB connection. That makes it an absolute mutha to charge outside the safety of the house, as you always need a dock to hand

But rest easy dear readers – accessory makers Marware have come to the rescue with an extra dock designed specifically for your laptop, or any other PC with a USB socket for that matter.

It’s almost as diddy as the shuffle itself, and it’ll only set you back a tenner too.

Pink George Foreman grill

This purchase barely requires thinking about. It's pink, it's £15 and it's a lean, mean fat reducing grilling machine...

It'll sizzle up to three chicken breasts at a time, and has fab extras like non-stick cooking plates and channels to carry excess grease and fat into a separate drip tray, both of which make cooking that much less icky!

Creative Zen V Plus gets tickled pink

Punk products have taken centre stage over the past few weeks, but the deluge of blushing gadgets for Breast Cancer Awareness Month has yet to subside. See, Creative has just lifted the lid on a candy-coloured Zen V Plus….

The special-edition 2GB audio player flashes a photo and video player and a built-in FM radio with 32 station presets. Add to that a 1.5-inch screen and a fuchsia pink shell, and you've got yourself one hot little package with a heart.

Bubblegum pink Bendiboard!


The bubblegum pink Bendiboard from Aria is sure to up your office cred. Or not. Either way, you can't deny that it's wateproof curves makes a lot of sense considering the number of cups of tea you'll be exposing it to on a daily basis...

Plus, you can roll up the blushing keyboard and pop it into your tote at end of the day, just in case someone else in your office takes more than a passing fancy to it. This bendy bod also means that it's far more forgiving on your fingertips.


She has doodled on iPod cases and a couple of Roberts Revival radios before. Now Cath Kidston, Grazia Designer of the Year, adds a touch of feminine chic to a selection of Nokia handsets…

Launching on 1 November, Nokia's 6111 and 6320i blowers have been plastered with three of Cath’s vintage-inspired prints: Bird, Pop Flowers and Star.

‘Mobile phones have become an essential part of every day life, so it was lovely to add a completely new twist to the one accessory we all can’t get by without," says Cath Kidston. "It’s important that your mobile phone functions well and is easy to use but there is no reason why it can’t look gorgeous as well!’

Hannspree's nipper-proof tellies step off Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark has just docked in the UK, spewing forth Hannspree's 'kid-chic' goggle boxes. Available in a selection of domestic, zoo and farmwayd animals...

... the nipper-proof LCD tellies come encased in a squishy material that is capable of withstanding sticky hands and chocolate bars. Yep, we tested.
