The first thing you have to learn to do as a parent is to blow up random objects. Actually, you might want to start practicing before you have kids to work those lungs out a little. You can’t afford to not be prepared for these sorts of things. Those of you that had blow-up chairs in high school will have a small amount of an edge. The rest of you though need to really get to working on this sort of thing. Of course for this particular blow-up crib they were nice enough to include a pump. Don’t let that make you think you can get lazy though, there will come a day when you’re stuck blowing up a whole assembly line of pool toys.

Chatimals could very well be the next best thing your household could have if your little one seems to be the chatterbox in the family. You will be able to choose from a dinky looking hamster or a meerkat friend depending on your taste, where it is smart enough to retain whatever you say to it, repeating incessantly in a slightly patronizing voice.
Want them to speak up? Just give their tiny paws a gentle squeeze and you’re good to go, where anything they hear will be spoken back to you. Of course, it might just keep your toddler who is now learning to speak quiet, but that remains to be seen as he/she might just get frustrated at the Chatimal in question, ripping out an arm or a leg in desperation to be the resident top dog where the chatterbox category is concerned. You can choose from either grey, beige or ginger shades for the hamster, while the meerkat has only one color – brown. At £19.99 each, they’re certainly worth checking out if you want to purchase a toy for your little one.
If you’re the type who absolutely loves arranging everything in their proper position, then the Coin Sorter is definitely your cup of tea. After all, investing a mere £19.99 for this contraption will definitely save you a whole lot more time in the future, where this time can be used for other more productive pursuits. All you need to do to get a bunch of coins sorted out would be to chuck the loose change into its little container on top, where it will then proceed to sort out all your UK coin denominations that range from 1p to £2. Capable of holding between 25 and 50 coins of each denomination in transparent tubes after sorting, all you need to do is pour out the sorted coins into a respective container or bag for future use.
Photo scanners are old hat, and so are portable, handheld ones. Well, don’t just dismiss the Renovo Photo Scanner as another has-been before you even know what it does, eh? This unique £69.99 purchase will not only convert your old photos into a digital file format, it will also send those files straight onto an SD memory card (which is obviously inserted into the Renovo Photo Scanner itself) so that you do not need to power up a computer and be tethered by a wire while you covert hundreds of old photos. No sir, with the Renovo Photo Scanner, you can sit down in front of the TV and watch Avatar three times over in succession while you scan in your stack of old photos, being safe in the knowledge that each photo that goes through will already be digitized into a file for future use. Of course, the memory card slot also supports Memory Stick or the MMC formats. All photos are stored in 2-megapixel resolution, which means you can’t blow them up too large down the road.
