Walk down the street in any city. How many people have earbuds in? The percentage increases at a frightening rate. The trend is here to stay, that is for sure. So the next quest becomes how to make our mobile audio experience better. We certainly don't want to risk dropping the phone or device while fumbling around to advance songs. So the device stays securely in our pocket while we sift through layers of clothing to access it. Not convenient at all.

Sync with your phone or audio device and plug your headphones in to the 3.5mm jack and you are in business. Easily advance or back up with controls on the Ribbon. So the hassle of digging through your belongings to switch songs is over.  Also, for those that don't have Bluetooth in your car you can now! Attach the Ribbon to your auxiliary jack in your car and stream from your phone. Amazon.com is out of stock at the moment, but BlueAnt's website sells the Ribbon for just $69. Go ahead, enable Bluetooth streaming of tunes wherever the need arises.

ID Guard Stamp

We do have our concerns when it comes to protecting our identity online these days, but on the other hand, one cannot remain too protective or coddled up. If you are concerned that your personal information on a printed piece of paper, such as name, address, Social Security number, bank account numbers, the mistress' phone number – anything that you deem was necessary to be included on the print at one point in time but is no longer needed, then the $19.95 ID Guard Stamp would certainly come in handy.

The ID Guard Stamp is an amazing little stamp which is said to be able to mask all personal information, including the above mentioned – and anything else which has been written or printed that you would like to cover up. This is made possible thanks to a specially designed, indecipherable, permanent ink pattern that will jumble up confidential information which has been printed on mail, checks, magazines, and letters among others. No longer do you need to shred mail, tear off magazine covers, or rip up checks to help prevent identity theft – although if you have hundreds of pages of sensitive information, the paper shredder is still the most important and efficient tool. Each inkpad is said to offer up to 1,000 impressions.

iShaver

Not only have iPhones become handy ways to manage our lives – but there is a sense of style to them too. So much so that there is a developing sort of underground of 'make it look as slick as an iPhone' type products. The iShaver adds to that collection, but also proves a really effective tool.

Available at red5.co.uk for just £14.95, the iShaver is a portable shaver. No, it's not a shaver you attach to your phone. It simply takes after the Apple design. With a slick looking high gloss finish, it looks nothing like most shavers. So it would be easy to throw in the briefcase or backpack. Great for those on the go, iShaver is chargeable via USB. Yes, USB. Floating blades help give a close shave too. OK, so maybe a portable shaver that looks like an iPhone is a little overboard. But take away that factor and you have a stylish looking unit that is easy to charge and perfect to take in the bag wherever you may need a quick shave.

Air Mail Launcher

We do know that communication has gotten a whole lot more effective these days, especially with email and text messaging (in addition to a slew of other methods such as Whatsapp and the likes) allowing you to be able to reach another human being in a matter of seconds, but here is something that you might want to get for the office as part of a prank. The $12.99 Air Mail Launcher does what it says it is, and boy, does it do it ever so well.

It will literally send a message from your chair or cubicle to another from afar (within a reasonable distance, and obviously within the same room) – and with much practice, you ought to be able to deliver your messages par avion without misfiring, or even worse, to have it land on the bee hive hairstyle of your single, Nanny-like voice cougar of a colleague only to have her turn her attention and affection towards you. Each purchase will come with a set of mail themed notes sit, and it is said to feature a firing range of up to 15 feet away. You have got to make allowances for the air conditioner's air speed, though.

Bigtrak XTR for some remote controlled fun

Do you remember the feeling of being invincible when you are in a M1 Abrams tank, taking down old school T72 tanks from the Soviet era with ease while remaining nicely protected within? Well, here is the £69.99 Bigtrak XTR that might just give you that sense of invincibility, albeit in a slightly different manner. After all, the first of Bigtraks did make their way into homes all the way back in 1982, sporting high tech features as well as programmable movement, making it the ideal toy for the 8-bit generation. Fast forward by three decades, and here we are with the Bigtrak XTR which completely revamps the design and comes jam-packed full of onboard technology.

For starters, the Bigtrak XTR is a 6-wheeled, foot long programmable rover that boasts an exciting range of features, and will definitely be able to live up to its name XTR (which incidentally, stands for eXtra Technology Rover). Some of the more noticeable features include control of the XTR over a smartphone or tablet device (it can be an iPhone or the iPod touch and iPad, or basically any other device that runs on the Android platform), using the computer for driving with a joystick or via the onboard keypad. You can even record movement and playback that are dialled in using the onboard keypad, making it the ideal situation for you to plan and execute missions throughout the home.

Sporting a couple of accessory ports, the Bigtrak XTR can be further expanded using optional accessories (where each of them are sold separately) such as a missile launcher or an IR gun that are great ways to cause mischief. Not only that, there is also the wireless camera which allows you to "see" exactly what the XTR sees thanks to the computer command centre. With an intelligent loading bay that detects whenever you place something onto it, it is also one of the more fun and innovative ways of transporting snacks from the kitchen to your couch in the living room whenever you do not feel up to it. Talk about rolling back the years in style!

Virtual and Terrestrial Battling Robots

What kind of future do you envision? Some of us figured out that we could enjoy the days ahead with docile and obedient robotic slaves, while the rest of us might think that a Terminator-style or I, Robot apocalypse is going to be how things pan out. Regardless, man has control over machine at this point in time, which is why it makes perfect sense to single out the $99.95 Virtual and Terrestrial Battling Robots as a prime choice for a gift – whether it is for yourself, or for other folks.

The Virtual and Terrestrial Battling Robots are remote controlled robots, and using your imagination, they are embroiled in intergalactic combat at home or on the Internet. These two-wheeled robots will send radio frequency waves which are capable of striking opponents from up to 49′ away, while the remote controls will allow rapid forward movement as well as hairpin turning as you furiously attempt to avoid enemy fire. The robots themselves are capable of generating explosive sounds whenever they launch an attack or when they are hit; and each direct hit will be logged by LEDs on the remotes.

The robots will also hook up to a computer thanks to the included USB cable, and the manufacturers were so kind as to throw in a website that lets your creativity and imagination run wild – in fact, on the website, you are able to create your very own avatars of the robots, and if time permits on your side, you could even write up the history of an intergalactic conflict that started eons ago, and has continued all the way down until this day. What do you think of letting your imagination get the better of you this time around then?

Not only that, users are also able to resume battle via an online video game, and as a reward for your efforts, you are able to earn additional “weaponry” which can then be downloaded to the robot itself as you pick up victories against other robots in the terrestrial arena. The robots will run on a quartet of AAA batteries each, while the remote controls will need three AAA batteries each to work. Guess getting a ready bunch of rechargeables around the house makes plenty of sense.
