From the "Why didn't I think of that" file...

Sick of your children asking you how long until their birthday, how long to Christmas or the weekend?  Or the dreaded "How long until we get there" (Are we there yet?). 


Just enter it into the clock and hand it to them.  Hours and hours of fun watching the clock count down. 


Everyone's had that sneaking suspicion that there's a little bit less wine in the bottle than you thought there was when you polished off half of it last night. Could you really have drunk that much?  Or has some cheeky person half-inched a few swigs while you were out?

With a padlock-style four digit code device, all you have to do is pop the lock in the neck of the bottle, change the code, scramble the lock and rest safe in the knowledge that only the most bored of liquid thieves will have the slightest chance of getting to your precious liquid. Turning the lock mechanism will expand it so it locks tight in the neck of the bottle, so that when you lock it no-one but you can get in.

So, short of smashing the bottle to pieces and sucking the carpet, any untoward individuals coveting what is rightfully yours will be thwarted by this ingenious security measure. Or, if you're feeling mean, stick it in someone else's bottle and delight in their frustration.




Have a crack in the wall?  Don't have a very handy fix it man or woman in the house?  Or need to sell the house and cover up a crack?  Why not make the branch part of a wall decal.  That's right, turn your wall cracks into art!   Add the birds and leaves and hey presto you have unique wall art. 

Convince the Real Estate agent that it is worth a fortune!  I'm not sure what the solution is if the wall has holes.  I'll leave that one to you.


The Pizza Boss may just be the manliest pizza slicer you'll ever own. It's shaped like a circular saw (the manliest tool in the garden shed second only to the drill, which takes first place based solely on the fact that it looks a bit like a laser gun) and will make short work of your freshly baked pizza.

If it encourages my husband to get back in the kitchen then that is a good thing!
