Sweep Big - store small FP3














For sheer versatility, this ergonomically-designed, lightweight Dustpan and Broom set from across the pond, takes some beating. A patented design of triangular and square-shaped banks of stiff bristles are configured to ensure the maximum collection of dust, hair etc on most surfaces – including wood and laminate floors! In ’closed’ mode, the brush head measures an ample 10 inches [25cms] across, however one twist of its 2-part handle almost doubles this to a full 18 inches [46 cms]. Furthermore it comes complete with a clip-on, transparent dustpan that acts as a brush protector and doubles as a stand. Our SWEEP BIG – Store small Dustpan & Broom set measures 46 x 136 x 6 cms when fully extended but reduces to just 25 x 50 x 6 cms for storing.

Helicopter Alarm Clock JT2801












Less like ‘Black Hawk down’ and more like ‘Lazy Bones up!’ with this fabulous facsimile Helicopter Alarm Clock. In ‘park’ mode its large back-lit LCD clearly displays the current time [12 or 24-hour format] plus day of the week and the date. The fun begins immediately the alarm time is reached when the rotor blade begins to spin accompanied by a very loud and distinctive ‘whirring’ sound that only a helicopter engine can make. Once full take-off power is reached, the rotor heads skywards – with the alarm now on full volume and the only way to stop this infernal noise is to physically return the rotor to its base station which means you have to get out of bed and search it and because the rotor is mounted on a knuckle, it’s impossible to predict where it will land. Powered by 4 x AA batteries or a 6-volt mains adaptor [neither included], we really put the ‘Hell’ in ‘Helicopter’ with this one!

Multi Tool Pen MTP01














Believe it or not but concealed within this elegant ball-point Pen are no fewer than 12 other accessories! Craft Knives, saws, a file, tweezers and screwdrivers plus a hole punch, ear-pick and wire stripper are all there ready for immediate action. Measuring a mere 14.5 x 0.75cm diameter, it makes an ideal standby for virtually any small DIY job around home or at work.

Microwave Bread Sleeve MBS01











Defrosting or warming bread, rolls or croissants in the microwave invariably makes them go horribly soft and soggy. But no more, because if you put the bread into this ingenious ‘pocket’, the padded polycotton sleeve with absorbent microfibre inner lining absorbs the moisture created by heating, thereby preventing sogginess. It emerges not only thawed and hot but also with its original crispness. Also suitable for reheating pizzas

Mini Nicer Dicer 1026













Although our ever-popular ‘Dicer Pro’ is great for chopping and dicing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, when it comes to smaller produce, the expression ‘overkill’ comes to mind. We are therefore delighted to offer you this same concept - in miniature.
Ideal for dicing garlic cloves, shallots, chillies, radishes, herbs and much more, the close-coupled, cross-cut blades in this mini-me version, slice through these smaller items in one swift downward movement. Easy to clean - it’s completely dishwasher safe – each ‘Mini Nicer Dicer’ measures 21 x 7 x 6cms and comes complete with a polycarbonate storage bowl and separate lid. If you like the ‘Dicer Pro’, you’ll love our ‘Mini Nicer Dicer’!

Dual USB Port Travel Adapter PP380













Every once in a while a product makes such an impact in the market, it re-sets ‘the standard’. Just such a product is the ‘ONE’ Adaptor. Believe us when we say "this truly universal travel adaptor could well revolutionise the way you travel".
Comprising a dual-port USB charger AND travel adaptor, "ONE” Adaptor ensures you have a compatible socket for virtually anywhere in the world!

It’s even fitted with two separate fuses to protect your valuable electronics from powerful surges and spikes.

(Not to be used with electrical devices demanding power over 125V/6A or 250V/3A.)

Fresh Drop Toilet Deoderant FD40













Despite our best efforts, it’s virtually impossible to use tact and sensitivity when attempting to describe the benefits this superb product offers, but here goes….
‘Fresh Drop’ is nature’s way of combating those nasty niffs which are so often the cause of much embarrassment after a visit to ‘the smallest room’. Made from natural plant extracts, just one drop – strategically placed – instantly neutralizes what could otherwise be considered an unsavoury odour. Best used prior to ‘the event’ for maximum effect, each 20 ml bottle contains enough liquid for 300 – 400 Vinda’loos’.
Thanks to ‘Fresh Drop’ we can now do what nature intended without fearing the consequences. Each pack of Fresh Drop contains 2 x 20ml bottles.
