Summer’s here, so why not make the necessary preparations in advance for your kid to enjoy their summer in the great outdoors instead of spending their time cooped up at home right smack in front of the video game console? The Children’s Inflatable 2MPH Speedboat should make for a welcome distraction to Mario and Metal Gear Solid, offering your little one that there is more to life than just achieving a high score or pounding baddies to submission via the video game controller.
This is the inflatable speedboat that provides a safe 2 mph speed on calm water, such as pools or small ponds (play the video). The outboard electric motor is controlled by a child sitting in the inflated hull–a handhold with a finger trigger turns the motor on or off immediately; the boat can accommodate two children at once. The motor drives a shrouded propeller with no exposed blades that provides smooth movement over calm water; the motor can be turned 360°, so even backward movement is possible. Requires eight D batteries that provides up to five hours of operation. Deflates for off-season storage. Hull constructed from 3mm thick PVC. Supports up to two children (or 100 lbs.)
This is one $99.95 toy that is worth considering if you want to get your kid to obtain a tan this summer!

Driving with one hand one the wheel while the other is used to hold a cellphone is a big no-no, as it distracts you greatly from your task, and this is where the Nexus Drive Solar Pro is here to help – it is a Bluetooth solar-powered speakerphone that not only lets you keep both hands on the wheel, it also allows you to carry out a conversation over the cellphone legally.
The Bluetooth Car Kit comprises a sleek black car speakerphone that mounts to your car’s windscreen via suction cups and ensures you stay safe and legal when driving, without ever missing an important phone call. The Bluetooth Car Kit comes with a variety of charging options, including USB and via your car’s cigarette lighter, but the most notable is the powerful built-in solar panel. Just two hours in daylight provides one hour of talk time, which is largely thanks to this environmentally-friendly car speakerphone using less energy than standard devices. With your phonebook transferred to your car speakerphone you can also make use of the handy Text-to-Speech feature which speaks the name/number of any incoming calls so there’s no need to take your eyes off the road. Save energy and talk for longer with the Bluetooth solar powered speakerphone!
This nifty little green device will cost you £44.95 – we love the fact that there is no need to worry about whether the batteries are charged or not before we head out for our destination since the good old sun will do its part in keeping this juiced up.

This is one of the rare USB drive necklaces that I didn’t envision some elderly secretary wearing around her neck. This one could almost appeal to the glam rocker type instead of the older crowd. Although it’s definitely not subtle, since it’s yet again covered in crystals, it does at least have a guitar shape to it. It’s yet again attached to a chain so that you can wear it as a necklace and always have it on hand.
One different thing about this is that the cap of the drive is attached to the chain. So you don’t have to take off the necklace to use it. My only issue with that is the concern that over time the drive would stop holding onto the necklace quite as well. Leaving the risk that you might lose the drive along with all the data stored on it. If you think it’s worth the risk though, you will be able to store 2GB of data on the drive. You can purchase it from Gadget4all for $22.

Now that it’s warm out, it seems the mosquitoes are everywhere. Leaving you with the joy of dealing with bug bites. There are various ways of killing the itch, be it in cream form or a convenient applicator bottle. If you can’t stand using the creams though, you could always take a slightly more hi-tech approach to killing the sting of those pesky bug bites.
Relieving the itch can be a bit important, since if you cave in and start scratching it can cause an infection. Which only extends the misery even longer and no one wants to deal with that mess. This works for all size bug bites, but larger insect bites may take several applications to take away the itch. To work it just press the head of it onto the bite and hold it there. It then neutralizes the insect-injected proteins that create that great itching feeling. It runs on 2 AA batteries and you can purchase it for $16.99 from Improvements.
