Gourd Amplifier

The Gourd Amplifier from Mountain Melodies Manufacturing was born after the company owners, Paul and Sue Bergstrom, found themselves with lots of kettle gourds laying around and thought “Why not?” Each amp has its own unique shape and sound. You can use it with instruments or to play music from your MP3 or smartphone. It runs off a 9-volt battery (not included), so it is totally portable, and connects to your music or instrument via a 1/4″ input jack only (no Bluetooth here).

When you think of air pollution, your mind probably conjures up images of smoggy city streets packed with cars or huge factories pumping out plumes of grey smoke, but did your ever stop to consider that your home could also be filled with polluted air? Probably not, because you are a normal person, but consider the things we have and do in our house on a daily basis: cleaning, cooking, wood burners, and even outdoor polluted air getting trapped inside. The Foobot is an in-home monitor to give you a greater insight into your rooms’ air quality.

Ok, so some of you will look at this pour-over kettle, then look at your electric or hob kettle (commonly called a tea kettle amongst us coffee snobs), and wonder why you would need another kettle cluttering up your kitchen cupboards. If at this point you are thinking that your supermarket own brand, instant coffee in your Sports Direct mug is wonderfully tasty, you can probably stop reading here.

Edifier R1800 BT Speakers

The Edifier R1800 BT Speakers are bookshelf speakers that can be connected by either a dual RCA input or through Bluetooth. It has a Class D amplifier and 10-degree angled fronts that help to direct the sound straight to your ears. So, the first impressions is a little mixed, I love the high gloss black body, it is very attractive and looks great on the book shelf, however the front of the speaker lacks any distinction. I think more could have been done here to finish the quality aesthetic off.

Distil Union Wally Agent

Distil Union was formed by Nate Justiss and Lindsay Windham in 2011. The micro-collective of designers aims to create products to improve experiences in our everyday lives by self-funding from Kickstarter (six projects to date). The Wally Agent is part of their leather Wally range; this take on the typical billfold aims to offer a slim profile with easy access via the interior pull-tab pockets. It sports four interior pockets plus a section for notes, intended to make the Agent the ideal choice for a front-pocket storage.

MindShift PhotoCross 13 Sling Bag

I am comfortable saying that I haven’t been much of a fan of the MindShift bags in the past. I tend to view them as ThinkTank’s younger and uglier brother, but I was really surprised by the high-quality construction in the PhotoCross 13 Sling Bag. The PhotoCross has been made to withstand all weathers and is comfortable enough to wear for hours on end, with a wealth of useful features to keep your camera gear safe and close to hand when in the great outdoors.

Quad Lock Motorbike Mount and Car Suction Mount

Earlier this year we looked at the Quad Lock Cycle Mount and were impressed by how sturdy it was, but how bumpy does it really get on a bicycle? Could it really be as secure on a Motorcycle? It came with the iPhone 7 Plus case and the iPhone 7 Plus poncho to get us started, you can buy them separately or as a kit. The Quad Lock Motorcycle Mount is a flexible mount for your phone that allows for a convenient and visible location on your bike. It features a rotating head and comes with an extension arm if extra clearance is required.
