Illoom Balloons add an LED twist to your balloons

Balloons seem to have lost their appeal to most of us.  They’re still just the same boring balloons we’ve had for years.  Sure, those ones made into cool shapes will keep us a little more interested, but it’s still not enough.  Well these Illoom Balloons bring new life to balloons.  Fill a dark room with these and you’ll have some interesting child-like lighting that will keep everyone entertained.

Each balloon has a tiny LED light, which makes the whole balloon glow.  In order to get the balloon started you just pull the tab to activate it, then air it up.  You can as usual either just blow them up and have little glowing spheres on the floor or put helium inside to give yourself some floating spheres.  Surprisingly these will actually glow for a full 15 hours.  They come in packs of 15, you can get a blue pack, a pink/white/purple pack and then a mixed colors one.  Each pack of them will cost you £8.99 or about $14 through Firebox.

Thanks to the Lego generation growing into full grown adults, Lego has found its way into creating fully functional electronics that kids and grown ups can enjoy.  This MP3 player is one of the many Lego themed electronics spotted.  This one will allow for your music to be played.  Plus unlike many of the normal MP3 players out there, this one has an LCD screen to view upcoming songs on.

The 2GB MP3 player will hold up to 500 songs, which should be enough to keep you happy for a little while at least.  It’ll also play continuously for 8 hours before it dies.  In order to power it up again, you’ll just need to hook it up to the USB port of your computer.  It also has the typical 3.5mm headphone jack.  The biggest feature on this MP3 player is that you can add real Legos to both the top and the bottom.  You can purchase it through Amazon for $29.99.

Pure Oasis Flow Radio works in the great outdoors

I have managed to see my fair share of radios with a retro twist and plenty of radios made for the outdoors, but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one that actually combines the two.  This Pure Oasis Flow does exactly that, it shows off great style while actually being capable of dealing with the weather outdoors.  It also looks small enough that it would be a great sized radio to take with you to the beach.

The radio is actually splash resistant thanks to the case, plus the rugged case is weatherproof as well.  It has cast aluminum framework and rubber seals to finish off the deal.  As far as the electronic portion goes it has internet radio, podcasts, PURE sounds and music streaming anywhere that you have a Wi-Fi connection.  Plus it has your normal FM radio reception.  As far as keeping it powered goes, the radio has a built-in rechargeable ChargePAK battery.  You can’t purchase it just yet though, it’ll be released sometime in the first half of 2010.  Sometime closer to the release date they’ll probably release the pricing information.
