My gym buddy and I meet most evenings at the gym: I arrive in my gym gear with nothing more than a bottle of water and a towel whereas my friend comes straight from work, although you could be forgiven for thinking she just jumped off a long-haul flight by the number of bags she brings. The issue she faces is that she needs carry both her work stuff and gym gear without either coming into contact on the way home. Neither sweaty gym shoes nor laptop should ever know the other exists!

Let’s start off by saying ‘this isn’t your everyday backpack’; it’s a little over-kill for popping down the park or taking to the gym; it is serious army grade gear, as we discovered when we read that it can hold a 24” rifle…not something you would need in a regular camping weekend with the kids.

This Winter we wanted to try something different and have an outdoor Christmas Dinner, so last week we trialled the Weber Pulse 1000 and 2000 Series Rotisserie on our Weber Pulse 1000 Barbecue.

As we have 10 guests coming to share dinner on Christmas day I didn’t want to leave it until the big day and hope everything went smoothly, if it didn’t, there would be 12 guests fighting over a tin of baked beans! 

The AgeLOC Galvanic Body Trio is a three-piece set from Nuskin that comes with the new ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa unit and two advanced anti-ageing body products, the ageLOC Body Shaping Gel and ageLOC Dermatic Effects, with the aim of providing a more contoured, smoother and firmer looking body. I mean who wouldn’t want that? Nuskin recommend you use it with the shaping gel once a day with three days a week on thighs, arms, buttocks and/or abdomen and the Dermatic Effects is to be applied daily morning and night on targeted area for best results.

Dogs have basically been obsessed with the same game ever since the first caveman chucked a dodo skull and the dog ran after it, tripped over it then brought it back to be thrown again (pretty sure this is how it went down)! However, if you have the same weak pitching skills as me, it can leave the poor doggo rolling his eyes as he trudges the two meters to retrieve my pitiful throw.

When everything you own requires charging, there comes a point when the side of your sofa or bedside table looks like it is been strangled by a cable version of the Kraken. The Eclipse Charger (which isn’t exactly a charger) is a self-indulgent system that tidies away all those ugly cables ready for when you need them.

With so much talk about kids leading increasingly sedentary lives its important to find fun ways to get them moving that they don’t lose interest in it after 5mins. The Morfboard is a rather unique set up that lets you morf from one configuration to another. We received the Morfboard Skate/Scoot combo which is the starter pack, from here you can add extensions that are sold separately (Bounce Xtention and Balance Xtention), allowing for a low-cost introduction to building new skills.

The iStorage datAshur Personal², a USB 3.0 flash drive available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB and comes with the option of personalisation with either laser etching, text and text front or laser etching logo. It couldn’t be simpler to use, simply enter your 7-15 digit pin, plug in to use, then the flash drive will automatically lock once it’s removed from your computer.

You could show this little car to some people and they might rightly assume it’s a matchbox car from the 50’s as it has that attention to detail and built to last quality that harks back to the toys of Christmas past, however, show it to anyone with a games console and they will recognise it as Fusion Flea, the vehicle from the Fallout series. This 1:18 scale die cast replica was the go-to vehicle for the folks in the Fallout universe, this scaled down version of the sweet little three-wheeler is manufactured by the Chryslus motoring company who gift it to
