Giant Keyboard
Ever wanted to re-create the scene in 'Big' where Tom Hanks plays the giant floor piano with his feet? Surely it's not just us? Well, with our Giant Keyboard, you can - it's like the 80s never went away! We're glad they did though… Still, this huge pianoforte just has to be laid on the floor, turned on and walked over to create a sound. No matter if you're a novice of notes or a musical maestro (with your feet), you'll be able to make music in no time at all.
Because it's a modern sort of keyboard, it comes fully equipped with 8 different musical instrument sounds, including standard piano, saxophone, violin and even vibraphone for fans of exploratory jazz… not sure there'll be too many of you though. It's also a great way to get younger folk interested in playing an instrument. Rather than having their fingers snapped with a ruler by a fusty old teacher each time their hands lose position (again, just us?), why not let them dance about on the keyboard and create sounds for themselves?
But why let the nippers have all the fun? If you're of a certain age and Tom Hanks-loving persuasion, then you can team up with a friend and play 'Chopsticks' until the cows come home (or the neighbours complain). You can record your efforts with the keyboard's 80-note memory and then play them back, or let the keyboard itself show you how it's done by listening to one of the ten demo songs. It's also a fine accompaniment (see what we did there?) to a good party - sort of like a mixture of karaoke and Twister, of you like.
Basically, it's an excuse to muck about with your mates or a great fun way to get your kids taking an interest in and learning about musical instruments. However you end up playing with it, just make sure you move your feet to the beat!

Wireless Speaker Dock
Unless you’ve got speakers wired in to every room in the house, listening to impromptu blasts of your favourite ear candy requires the assistance of a decent pair of wireless speakers. But why stop at speakers alone when you can dock your iPod/iPhone aboard an accompanying base unit? It’s a doddle with the Wireless Speaker Dock.
As well as its handy idocking capabilities, this multi-tasking sound system wirelessly sucks the tunes out of your computer, blasting ‘em through its quality stereo speakers up to 30 metres away.
Simply pop the included USB transmitter into your PC or Mac and stream away. Cleverer still, the detachable, rechargeable speakers sit on a base that miraculously whooshes juice in every time you plonk ‘em onboard.

Pocket Towel
As anyone who has ever tried to jam more than a few days worth of kit into a rucksack or beach bag will know all too well, towels are the arch enemy of packing light. For something you only need once or twice a day it takes up way too much space that would be far better used for your travel speakers, picnic, camera, mask & flippers, or dare we say it a few chilled bottles of something delicious. Not only does a trad towel hog way too much space when dry, but post plunge it gets everything else you've so carefully packed wet, and somehow weighs as much as a small child. Charming as small children can occasionally be, you don't want to be carrying one around for long. The Pocket Towel is the perfect solution. Not only does it pack up absurdly small taking up less space than a lemon, but it dries in nano seconds (figuratively speaking). Made from an ultra-fine woven micro fibre it unfolds to 80 x 40cm and its super-absorbency will soak up three times its weight in water. Better than a traditional towel in every way we can imagine, the Pocket Towel is your ultimate travel companion (with perhaps the exception of a porter) whether you're going to the beach for the day, or the Amazon for considerably longer. It's a backpacker's dream and a day-tripper's delight.
