Bose Sleepbuds II
Your neighbour, for whatever reason, decides to rearrange his furniture every night at 11 o’clock while sporting cement shoes. Meanwhile, his stereo seems stuck at 50’s country, the golden age of yodelling. You’ve had enough. Consider Bose Sleepbuds, a set of tiny and comfortable earphones that work with the Bose Sleep app to deliver relaxing sounds to help you fall asleep. The Sleepbuds come with noise-masking technology, so you stay asleep all night. Unlike ordinary headphones, Sleepbuds don’t stream music or podcasts; they play content only from the Bose Sleep app.
Dyson hairdryer
Consider this a PSA. You remember your SO’s last birthday don’t you. You put off buying her a gift and then finally dawned on you on your way home on HER birthday. You remember her reaction when you presented a withered bunch of roses and generic box of chocolate you picked up at the petrol station on your way home. You convinced yourself you are better than that. And you are. This year get your stuff together early and order this Dyson Supersonic hair dryer well ahead of time. The digital motor in the Supersonic spins up to 110,000rpm, propelling 13 litres of air up to the amplifier every second. Dyson says this stylish hair dryer helps prevent extreme heat damage to protect natural shine. The air temperature is measured 20 times every second, keeping the temperature under control.
