Mar 29, 2013 08:30 am | Alison Wine To-Go Sometimes you just need to take your vino with you. Maybe you are headed for a day at the races or a picnic in the park. Schlepping a bottle around sure is not convenient. There's the need to keep it from breaking and you have to find a bottle opener. Hassle for sure! Sure, there's the box-o-wine solution but is there actually GOOD tasting wine in a box? Firebox wants ladies to more easily carry their wine and look stylish too. Meet the Wine Handbag, £29.99. This designer-esque 'bag' holds 1.5 liters of vino and has its own spout on the side. The durable cardboard construction won't let you or your wine down.  It even comes with wine included – in either Cab, Chardonnay or Rose. So next time you head out and take good wine with you camouflage it!

We all probably invested in Betamax, Laserdisc or some other technology that didn't take off. Sounded like a great idea at the time, right? The famous UK TV program The Gadget Show recently polled 1000 viewers to determine the biggest gadget disaster of all time. Some were good technology, but were executed poorly and competitors pounced. Some were ridiculous technology that customers never adopted. But they all have one thing in common – they failed. The winner of this not-so-prestigious title? The Sinclair C5 battery and pedal powered three-wheeler, launched in the mid 80s. Yep, you don't see many of those on the roads. Nor did you ever as they only sold 20,000 units. Other gadget fails to make the list include Betamax, Sega Game Gear, Pizza Scissors and Rabbit mobile phones. OK, so maybe requiring a sort of receiver box in proximity to the phone wasn't the greatest idea. But the company went on to become Orange – so they have seen their fair share of success. View the top 10 list of gadget on the Daily Mirror's site and think about these fails the next time you ante up for new gadgets.

Of course, some of us live in extremely cold countries, where a blanket alone will not do the trick, but generally speaking, the average blanket ought to be able to get the job done for a decent night's rest. Well, the £34.99 Speaker Blanket does more than keep your body warm during those cold nights, as its name suggests, it also comes with a pair of built-in speakers to pump out your favorite winding down music so that you can drift off to dreamland sooner than you count to 99 sheep. The Speaker Blanket will run on a solitary AA battery, and there is an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack for you to hook it up to a decent pair of headphones just in case there are others in the same room who might not appreciate your eclectic selection of music that you use to relax. It would have been nice to see a Bluetooth-enabled version of the Speaker Blanket, but I guess that the lack of this feature right now would just leave the door open for a decent sequel sometime down the road.

Will we see Mickey Mouse cross over into the Star Wars universe sometime down in Episode 7? I do not think so, but who knows what the future might bring in the realm of cartoons? After all, Space Jam saw the amalgamation of Michael Jordan and the rest of the Looney Tunes cast, didn't it? This unique AT-AT bunk bed is definitely worth checking out, especially if you are a huge fan of the Star Wars universe. There is a flight of stairs that leads up to the AT-AT, while it would be ideal to place a couch or sofa under the AT-AT bunk bed, complete with a bookshelf attached to the wall so that you are able to catch up on your Star Wars fan fiction before retiring for the night. Good thing this AT-AT bunk bed is stationary, otherwise a wayward A-Wing might just wrap its legs around with an extremely tough wire, tripping you up. Now that would certainly be a nightmare to sleep on, wouldn't it?

Having said that, it would also mean it is more challenging to select the right kind of Bluetooth enabled speakers, considering the vast choice that there is available to the average consumer. This calls for a more discerning eye, and with the Satechi BT Touch Speaker, you know that your ears will be treated to quality sounds without having to break the bank. The Satechi BT Touch Speaker would come across as a compact and portable Bluetooth speaker which has been touted to be ideal for both office and travel use. It is capable of delivering powerful, dynamic sound, despite its relatively small size, of course. This is yet further proof of not judging a book by its cover, or in this case, the quality of audio by the speaker's size. This small yet mighty Satechi BT Touch Speaker is said to have the ability to fill a room with crystal clear audio thanks to its 2.5 X 2 watt dual-channel speaker system. The presence of a built-in microphone also enables the speaker to double up as a hands-free calling device which will play nice with just about any smartphone these days, as long as they support Bluetooth connectivity, that is. Good design principles are not compromised or forgotten either with the Satechi BT Touch Speaker, where it sports a glossy, sleek black look that ought to find a place in any office aesthetic. The speaker itself will boast of modern, blue LED touch buttons which are able to control audio playback, volume and answer calls. Not only that, the extra features that were thrown into the mix include a rechargeable lithium ion battery as well as a built-in 3.5mm jack so that it can handle legacy, non-Bluetooth enabled devices. Right now, the Satechi BT Touch Speaker is going for an introductory price of $49.99 a pop.

This would more often than not translate to a slew of chargers that you have to tote around, which will definitely weigh you down whenever you travel. Perhaps it is time for a paradigm shift, as you might need to call upon reserves of emergency power during certain situations, and this is where the new Trent Travelpak and Travelpak+ come in handy. Regardless of whether you are a business or leisure traveler, both the Travelpak and Travelpak+ will be able to work nicely together, where your eyes are greeted by a sleek, compact design alongside a powerful battery, with the Travelpak maxing out at 4000mAh while the Travelpak+ has a 7000mAh charge. These two gizmos will most probably be able to ensure that all USB-based devices, ranging from smartphones to tablets will be able to remain fully charged, without having to consume more precious space in your travel luggage. There is an integrated AC adapter and dual USB ports on both the Trent Travelpak and Travelpak+ which will conveniently offer users the freedom to leave all other chargers back home, as this seems to be the only charger that you need to pack whenever you hit the road. The Travelpak and Travelpak+'s integrated AC Adapter will boast of passthrough charging technology, and in plain English, that would mean you can juice up a couple of USB-based devices thanks to its 1A and 2.1A ports, as the battery pack remains plugged into an outlet that is being charged up for the next day. Other than that, there are 4 ambient LED status indicator lights which can also function as a nightlight which can be toggled on and off. Those who want the Trent Travelpak will have to fork out $44.95 for it, while the Travelpak+ is going for a slightly higher price at $54.95, which could very well be worth every additional penny since it carries nearly double the battery capacity.
