Soldier Egg Cup

Soldier Egg CupEgg and soldiers? This breakfast offering couldn’t be more fitting when describing the Soldier Egg Cup. Now you can barrage your boiled egg with this brilliantly silly eggy receptacle! It has 3 sword-wielding plastic soldiers protecting your egg from any aerial attack from an unwanted teaspoon!

Okay so the Soldier Egg Cup won’t really fend of uninvited yolk dippers and it won’t even stop you from cracking your egg, but the one thing it will do is bring a smile to your face every morning when it’s holding your egg in position with military precision!

Soldier Egg CupThe best thing about the Soldier Egg Cup is that it comes with a Perfect Soldier Cutter. It’s always a pain getting your soldiers cut to precision, but now with the Perfect Soldier Cutter you can do it with ease.

Simply press this revolutionary hand held gadget against your slice of bread and watch in wonder as it creates a series of precisely placed perforations. Once the bread has been toasted you can pop out 5 of your precision perfect platoon and get dipping. These soldiers are extra strong and won’t be snapping on hard boiled eggs because they have sealed edges where the Perfect Soldier Cutter has compressed the edges of the bread.

The Soldier Egg Cup and Perfect Soldier Cutter are perfect for military fanatics or for people who are just fed up of the old Asda Jobby that’s gathering dust in the cupboard. My verdict on the Soldier Egg Cup and Perfect Soldier Cutter – Egg-zellent!

Flip Flap Q

Flip Flap QThere’s nothing like a bit of greenery to brighten up your home or workplace; it helps you to keep in touch with your inner peace, apparently. The only problem is that your conventional houseplant has to be looked after 24-7, water, sunshine, general chit chat – you get the gist! But even if you’re a professional mushroom picker we can guarantee that you won’t have seen anything like the Flip Flap Q before.

These dinky little solar powered plant shoots are to take the world by storm simply because you don’t have to lift a finger to look after them. No more miracle plant grow, no more watering and no more hassle!

Wait, this is the best bit. When these palm sized plants are exposed to light they move and dance as if they were swaying in the wind. And they don’t even need a battery because they are completely solar powered – sun or artificial light! Standing at only 15cm tall Flip Flap Q's are extremely portable, so you can whack it in your back pocket, rucksack or handbag and plonk it down in any room to specifically brighten up your day!

If only your run of the mill house plant was this easy to look after. Unfortunately, they’re not. And that’s exactly why everybody from here to Timbuktu has gone raving mad for these adorable little green fellas. Anyway, Busy Lizzies are so last year and are hardly going to fit in with your ultra chic, uber modern interior design you’ve got going on in your town house luxury pad, are they?!

Designed in Japan (shock horror!), Flip Flap Q's really are an absolute marvel to watch. God only knows what those boffs in their white suits were thinking when designing a prototype for the Flip Flap, but whatever it was, it’s worked out just how expected and turned into a worldwide craze already. Pop one on your desk at work or the bedside table at home and every time you feel like you want to rip someone’s head off or you’re just having a bad day just stare at your Flip Flap Q and be hypnotised by its magical swaying leaves. Add one to your cart now before everyone’s gone Flip Flap Crazy!

Sing Sing Prison Food Tray

Sing Sing Prison Food Tray
Carl Panzram, Rudolph Duringer, Francis Crowley, these are all names you probably won’t be familiar with, but to the guards of Sing Sing prison of Ossining, New York, also known as the ‘Death House’, these are the names of scandalous villains and malevolent murderers that used to inhabit the halls of this notorious U.S. penitentiary.

Considering the crimes these scandalous shylocks had committed you could quite easily say the sort of treatment they received was probably well deserved. These cowardly criminals were kept in the clink for most of the day, with a few hours of hard labour and only a tray of jailhouse slop to keep them going.

But it’s not all weaving fishing nets and carving marble at Sing Sing, because at least inmates got to eat their daily prison slop off a cool tray. And believe it or not, little things like that go along way when you’re surrounded by a hoard of raving lunatics 24 hours a day. Luckily for you, you don’t have to start planning your next bank robbery to eat off this deplorable piece of dinnerware, because we sell an exact replica of the tray used in New York’s number one nick.

The Sing Sing Prison Food Tray is an ultra sturdy dish perfect for any felon to feast from and you won’t have to worry about being whacked over the head with it every time you eat. The Sing Sing Dinner Tray has six convenient sections to keep your portions separate. So you could have mash in one bit, bangers in another and some goopy guardhouse gravy on the side.

It’s crafted in food-safe melamine and is dishwasher friendly so if you hate doing the washing up this is definitely the dish for you. It’s perfect for crashing out in front of the telly and makes a perfect talking point at parties. So, we hereby sentence you to eat your dinner from a Sing Sing Prison Food Tray from now on and add one to your cart immediately before they all ‘cell’ out!

Wooden Clock

Wooden ClockOkay, we know what you're thinking, a clock made from a block of wood makes about as much sense as teacup made from chocolate. Well, that's pretty much what we thought when we spotted this geeky chic wooden timepiece. It's the antidote to all those novelty clocks! But how can a chunk of wood be such groundbreaking news? Let us explain...

A slab of wood is one thing but a slab of wood, which displays the time in numeric digital figures floating on the face of it, is something else! They appear as if by magic on its smooth beechy surface.

Until the numbers illuminate it just looks like your standard piece of wood, but we suppose that's the magic really, because when you turn it on its glowing digital numbers look uber cool against its Swedish looking woody background. Don't ask how on earth this clock works because we've had it in stock for yonks and we still haven't been able to work the Wooden Clock out.

The Wooden Clock serves as an excellent bedside/desktop accessory and is perfect for anyone who likes great looking clocks or for people who just like wood, or both - we know you're out there. The Wooden Clock is the sort of product we love here at Shushhh! It's perfectly designed, elegant, fully functional and, to be honest, we've never seen anything like it before!

So forget about those digital cracker jobbies and those bygone bell clattering numbers, chuck a Wooden Clock in your cart and tell the time in serious style. Best of all, the Wooden Clock is different without being dorky; it's the perfect antidote to all those novelty clocks!

Jellephish Mood Lamp

Jellephish Mood LampAhhh, mood lighting. One of the most important things in the home, after the bedroom… If you’re looking to make your home a place for every occasion or simply yearn for some relaxing or atmospheric light glowing around your gaff then the Jellephish Mood Lamp is definitely the way forward.

Design. Some will utter yay, others will mutter nay. What they will probably all agree on is its resemblance to a jellyfish. Funny that. It could also be interpreted as the contemporary study of the human female form in its most basic state. Yes…, well in any case, some in the office have said it look like a woman!!! Up to the individual really… The Jellephish Mood Lamp uses processor-controlled digital LED technology to create an almost infinite palette of colours to match the mood of the hour. This comes in handy as us humans are a complicated species, prone to mood swings. You can use the lamp on its acrylic base for some low-level action or remove the dome and fix it to the wall for a completely different feel.

A squillion different colours are great but not if you have zero control over them. However, with the Jellephish Mood lamp you have maximum control. Using the included remote control handset, you can toggle between 4 different modes to find the ultimate light setting for your mood.

Scrolling mode allows the lamp to scroll through all the colours at a preset speed which you control (10 secs to 16 mins). With Static mode you can pause the lamp on the colour of your choice and with Sound to Light mode the lamp will change colour to the beat of the music. Finally Pearlescent mode produces a cool white light, with hints of red, green and blue, thus giving a pearlescent effect. This mode also has 5 different intensity levels to choose from.

So if you’re thinking of getting a bit smooshy with your other half or perhaps you want to create your very own chill out zone then the Jellephish Mood Lamp will cater for all your needs. And if your throwing a big party and have a DJ there, why not give them the controls to really create the ultimate moment?!

Luv Duck

Luv Duck
Some people never bathe. Okay so they use the shower a fair bit but there is nothing better and more relaxing than immersing your tired and battered body in to toasty hot water and bubblesw after a long hard day’s work. Light up a few candles, put on your favourite CafĂ© del Mar or whale music cd,relax for an hour or so and wash away the days trouble and stress.

There are plenty of bathtime luxuries that you can have around you while you soak in the tub. The good ‘ol loofah is a time-tested classic and a squirt of Radox always helps to gently soothe your day's troubles away. But there's nothing more delightful, and of course iconic, than a yellow rubber duck. We have such a duck right here but this one has an added and unexpected bonus. He’s called the Luv Duck and he vibrates!

Once again, someone has taken an innocent childhood memory and tweaked it into a somewhat more adult version. So much for nostalgia… The Luv Duck is described by the manufacturer as a personal massager but it's completely up to you what you want to do with it. He certainly does look the part as he bobbles up and down all innocently on the surface of the water. Except for that overly happy smile on his face. It’s not a manic smile (that would be tasteless now wouldn’t it) but Mr Duck certainly appears overjoyed.

This starry eyed little critter conceals a waterproof motor beneath his yella belly which controls his powerful vibrating device. Just give him a quick squeeze and you can turn him on and off. Not only is the Luv Duck fully waterproof he's also extremely quiet too, so you won't be getting any unexpected visitors at the bathroom door asking you "who's playing with my electric toothbrush again"!?

Rub a dub dub three men in a tub. Well multiple men in a tub is not the name of the game here but we’ll leave details like that up to you and your imagination. Let the Luv Duck take you to the 'beak' of er…, relaxation. After all, that’s what he’s designed for, right…?

Cushties

Cushties
Hummmmm, soft and squishie. Just like the mammaries of a… erm yes right. Well back on task then. The Cushtie cushion is one of the loveliest creations ever made. It’s hard to describe in words just how squishably comfortable the Cushtie really is. Not only does it serve gracefully as a cushion but it has many other hidden talents within its unassuming stretchable covering. Could this be the ultimate multi-purpose resting implement?

If you have never had the Cushtie love experience then you don’t know the meaning of the word amour. Cushtie wants to be your lover and you need to understand its innermost thoughts for the relationship to work. Hidden within its silky smooth polyester/polyutherane outer shell are thousands of polystyrene micro-beads which hold the key to Cushtie’s heart.

Cushtie really enjoys being squished, squashed, used and generally abused by all and sundry. Strange relationship then, but it’s only a cushion. You’d be excused for wondering if it can withstand this kind of treatment but that’s the joy of scientific progress for you. Quite astonishing what can be done with synthetic materials. Cram it into a very tight space and it won’t mind, it will simply pop back into shape in a second. You can stretch the beejesus (how DO you spell that) out of it and we’re talking over twice its length or squash 2 tons of #%?* out of it should the desire take hold of you.

The possibilities with the Cushtie are almost endless. How’s about the world’s strangest pillow fight where each opponent would voluntarily offer up their head for a whooping such is its fluffy bunny yummy softness. Then on the other scale of things its stress relief capabilities are obvious. Cushtie’s are available in either pink or blue and come packaged in a handy drawstring bag.

Put on the telly, do a similar thing with a kettle and get sofa’d up to the hilt. You could even crush several together in a bear hug to exercise you upper body whilst watching the box.

So if you’re simply feeling tired or simply want to kick back and just chill Bill - only Cushtie has the answer. Experiencing some stress and the desire to kill Bill? Use the squishie cushion. Fancy a nice big fat hug because you’re feeling ill Bill? It’s definitely a job for a Cushtie or two.

Renova Black

Renova Black
Move over James, the name’s Black, Renova Black. This is something for all those sensual types out there who really want to go the extra mile and add a bit of luxury to even the most mundane parts of everyday life. The butt wipe.

A bit avant-garde, a bit daring but definitely very sexy, Renova Black is quite simply toilet tissue of the coolest kind. Yes we know, it’s bog roll but you wouldn’t believe how it makes your bathroom feel a bit more sophisticated, which in turn reflects on you. Of course some people may not want to have their precious toilet time disrupted by this black paper of death. However, everyone who uses your WC will make a comment. Now when does loo roll ever get talked about over dinner?

Hard-line goths will love the Renova Black toilet paper for obvious reasons, poncy would-be sophisticates likes ourselves will quite simply adore it and then of course your parents… Well, they just won’t understand. Bless em.

In case you’re wondering if it will leave black marks all over your behind (at first glance we thought it might), it won’t. It isn’t some cheaply dyed random khazi roll. Which is a good thing because the company behind this actually has some rather reputable customers. The paper itself is of very high quality. Soft is not the word and you’ll never want to stop wiping your bott bott or indeed pulling more off just to cope a feel. Incidentally, they’ve added a lovely fragrance to heighten the senses while… Er, yes but it does actually smell rather nice. Good place for it…

Dark as the soberest of black nights, even down to the actual cardboard roll itself, the Renova Black toilet paper is “Fashionable, Sensual, Sophisticated, Fun, Unique!” as the manufacturer states. So remember darlings, black is the new white this year.

Glow Brick

Glow BrickFor the majority of us a single light bulb in each room of the house is quite satisfactory for our lighting needs. But for gadget loving grown ups like you lot (well you must be if you're on this site) that just doesn't serve well. A single bulb in each room? It’s unheard of! If you want to get a bit more experimental with your lighting illumination now you can, with a little help from the Glow Brick!

This odd looking acrylic block is one extremely strange piece of mood lighting, as it contains a phosphorescent light bulb that appears to float within its transparent walls. When it gets dark, the bulb begins to glow an eerie shade of emerald green.

By day the Glow Brick is an eye catching ornament and by night it lights your room with an almost unbelievable glowing shimmer. Because The Glow brick has no leads, no batteries or On/Off switch, it almost appears as if it's powered by unknown forces! Mind you, that would be stupid, considering it's really powered by the sun and soaks up the light during the day and releases it at night.

As well as giving your room a very eerie glow, it's also a great centre piece for any gathering. Wait until your mates clap eyes on it, we can guarantee that you and your Glow Brick will be talk of the town. The Glow Brick is the next best thing to remote-controlled lighting. In fact it's probably one step better because you don't even have to switch it on!

CUBees

CUBees
What do cats, dogs, pigs, cows, chicks and ducks have in common? Absolutely nothing until you put them together and get them singing. Singing animals?!! Yes, that’s right, Cubees are a bunch of animals that just happen to enjoy stretching their vocal chords for your listening pleasure. But there’s much more to them than meets the ear…

Cubees are a collection of 6 little cubes formed like the aforementioned sextuplet of animals. Big language aside, these gadgets are vocally voracious and love to sing solo or as a combo. In their own animal way of course. That is their party piece but you have options. As the musical director of this band of unlikely Xfactor hopefuls, you decide who sings lead and who does backing vocals. It’s all about the way you stack ‘em up. Let one of these little lovelies fly solo and he will sing up to three tunes. If you choose pig for example, you’ll get a song sung with nothing but oink oinks. Select duck features and it’s all a bit quack quack quack.

This is good enough in itself but things get really interesting when you start joining the Cubees together. Stack two vertically and they’ll both do different parts of the same song and harmonize while they’re at it. Their faces also flap up and down in time with the music. Ridiculous. But stick them all together and you’re in for a right riveting rendition of all your favourites.

Their group repertoire consists of timeless well-loved classics such as If Your Happy And You Know It, Yankee Doodle, London Bridge, Old MacDonald, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Now if you think that’s only for kids, think again. Cubees make such silly sounds that these songs are simply hilarious. You know your children are going to adore them but so will the big kids at the office. They’ll all be woof woofing and moo mooing like nobody’s business instead of work working. Until the boss walks in and declares war on the audio animal kingdom…

By the way, we haven’t told you everything. As if these creatures weren’t endearing enough, they come complete with excessively sweet offspring hidden behind those flappy faces and are stored inside like Russian Dolls. Each of the six animals has two tiny square little babes each. They may not sing but they do ‘cute’ very well.

So next time you need some light relief from the everyday hustle and bustle of life, remember to choralize, harmonize, animalize with the Cubees. They’re all a bit Oink oink, chirp, woof, moo, meaow, quack!

Selector Mug

Selector Mug
Thanks to the Selector Mug our hot beverages will never be inaccurately-milked or over-sweetened again. People get very particular with the way they have their tea. Methods range from adding the milk as you pull out the teabag to plonking milk and sugar in at the same time. Up until now, having another person make your own brew correctly has been everyone’s utopia. Now we’re glad to say it’s a dream come true. We present to you - The Selector Mug!

Every one loves a cup of tea first thing in the morning. But you're hungover again and your throat feels like you've swallowed a pint of sand. You can't be bothered to make a cuppa yourself and you haven't got the energy to ask someone to do it for you. We have the solution! Now you don't even have to open your mouth to get your perfect hot drink! Twist the rings on the Selector Mug to reveal your choice of drink, milk and sugar preferences, extend your paw from the duvet with cup in hand and look sorry for yourself, as you cunningly watch your missus make you the finest cup of char on the go.

But how does this witchcraft work? Well this understated beige mug sports three (as if you hadn’t guessed by now) twistable selector rings which reveal the drink of your choice. The top one shows Tea, Coffee, Decaf, Latte, Cappuccino, Mocha, Hot Chocolate or Herb Tea. Move down one ring and you can choose Black, Milk, Cream, Lemon, Ginger, or even Whipped Cream! Finally on the bottom rung select how many sugars you want (0, 1, 2 or 3) or whether you need Sweetener, Honey, Cinnamon or Syrup.

We have demonstrated the Saturday morning effect, now witness the power of the three rings in the office environment. You know what it’s like when someone pipes up “Im gonna get a coffee, anyone want something”. Next thing the poor blighter knows, he/she is inundated with requests for tea with one sugar and honey, hold the milk, black coffee please two sugars, and so on. If you’re the unfortunate person who gets to make the whole lot then a tray full of Selector Mugs will make life so much easier. And of course if you’re the lucky ringleader reclining lazily in a comfy office chair waiting for your new office junior to return, you’re guaranteed an accurate order. Nothing worse than sipping on stodgy Bovril instead of a cup of Gold Blend!

The Selector Mug is made from strong ceramic with lovely gleaming stainless steel rings and looks ‘Tea’lightful. Now no-one has an excuse to make a bad tea or coffee again and we owe this to the clever people at Suck UK. They have once again designed something stylish yet highly practical at the same time. We like!!!

Swiss Cheese Door Wedge

Swiss Cheese Door Wedge
Doors. A great invention there is no doubt about it and very useful too. The door population is generally are very well-behaved group. You grab the handle, turn it, then push to open and the whole thing does as it’s told. It’s a similar story when it comes to closing. However, doors also have a dark side, a darkness hidden beneath their unassuming flat faces. Despite cohabitating with us humans in our natural environment, they have a tendency to disobey quite a bit. Our secret weapon to quash this rebellion? The Swiss Cheese Door Wedge.

How many doors do you know stay open unaided? For sure some do, but in most cases the pesky rectangular blighters enjoy teasing us by slowing creaking to a close every time we push past ‘em. Very annoying. This is where a Swiss Cheese Door Wedge comes in very handy. Delivered in an authentic cheesy shade of yellow, this triangle-shaped house accessory does just what it was designed for. Whether you have one door or more around the house, our valiant door stop will serve its master well, time after time. Cleverly designed as a wedge, it fits nicely under any door or whatever else you want to stick it under.

You know that door you have in your house which probably doesn’t need to be there? There must be one or two. It’s still there because it may come in handy one day and anyway if you removed it, the remaining gap would still has a door frame and would like a little unsightly? Well the simple solution is to block it open with a Swiss Cheese Door Wedge.

When the summer beckons, you’ll want that cool breeze blowing through your house or flat. Fresh air to wipe away the staleness of winter. A Swiss Cheese Door Wedge is the, er…, man for the job. Here at Shushhh! we seem to have adopted quite a few. So forget cheddar, this is British-made ‘swiss cheese’ at its best with the added advantage that it won’t attract mice. In case we didn’t mention it, it isn’t real.

The Swiss Cheese Door Wedge is a great gift for everyone, as we all have a door that needs propping open from time to time! It's made from a hard wearing rubber and will last a hell of a lot longer than that old bit of Camembert you've been hiding away in the fridge! Just tear the top flap off and it's easy-peasy doorstop-cheesy. No refrigeration required.

Spa Lights

Spa LightsHow often do you take a bath? Some people never do. Of course initially they sound like dirty people but they shower right? Well hopefully… However they really don’t know what there are missing. Immersing your battered, bruised, tired, work-abused body into a tub of hot water is good. Very very good. And these Spa Lights add a whole new dimension to your relaxing sensual home aquatic experience.

The Spa Lights are little waterproof battery-powered orbs that give off a tantalising glow while you soak your stress away in the bathroom. They are completely waterproof so thanks to handy suction cups, you can attach your Spa Lights to the sides or bottom of the bath to obtain some underwater mood lighting. Have a few floating on the surface too to produce a multi-level luminous experience. Of course you could also fill the sink with water and drop a couple in there, then stick a few on the bathroom tiles to get the whole room glowing mellow yellow. Nice.

If you get home from work first, prepare for your other half’s return by littering the house with your collection of Spa Lights. Start a subtle trail at the front door, work it up the stairs, and finally have it culminating in an amazing bathroom display fit for a king or queen. This will prove far to tantalising to ignore. You could always add some wine, grapes and selection of meats and cheeses for your loved-one to enjoy, keeping the best (that’s you) till last. Smooth.

That’s all a bit naughty really but of course it doesn’t have to be that way. You could make your everyday bathtime an ultra-mellow one with the Spa Lights and avoid the harshness of the bathroom’s normal light. Put on your best whale-mating call CD, take off your best trousers (and the rest of your clothes), turn off the lights, take a deep breath and slip into that welcoming water for a nice relaxing bath. Okay so the whale thing might be a bit cheesy but the whole sensual and relaxing side to bath times is really heightened by these lights. Ooo lovely jubbly.

The soft yellow glow emanating from Spa Lights really does create a chilled-out atmosphere that’s perfect for some auto-tranquilizing self-indulgence action or indeed for some other type of action altogether. You decide. Either way, these are a great gift idea.

Mathmos Aduki Ni

Mathmos Aduki Ni
A pair of clever geologist types are on a dig somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Huddled around this strange object, they try desperately to figure what on earth the thing is! And indeed if it originates from our glorious blue planet.

Andrew (the older one with the large, slightly-greying scientist beard and red lumberjack shirt) declares: ''It’s a stone I assure you, probably from the Neolithic age. Although I can’t figure out why it’s so polished.'' But Peter (the younger one with a medium-sized scientist beard and black 'Bring Back X Files' T-shirt) is not convinced and instead replies: ''Nonsense! I tell you it’s not of this planet. It’s clearly extra-terrestrial.''

Thanks for that Peter. Either way, the Mathmos Aduki Ni will certainly leave everyone perplex. Until it lights up. At rest, it’s somewhat reminiscent of the space craft in Flight of the Navigator. Anyone remember that? No? Oh dear we are definitely getting a bit old here at Shushhh! Okay so maybe it looks like a highly-polished rock, but switch it on and you will marvel as it cycles through colours in a soothing spectacle of sensual light. The clever people at the Mathmos design studio have clearly come up with the goods again and this visual gadget is certainly more than an eyeful.

There are 3 versions to choose from when buying. In each case, the Mathmos Aduki Ni slowly cycles through a range of colours, starting for example with Red and ending with Green, or Blue to Red, or Blue to Green. Choose to either leave it on continuous rotation or pause on the colour of you choice. Naturally you can turn the thing off if you suddenly realise you’re about to enter a trance-like state.

And when sitting in your room or at your desk, if extreme boredom rears its ugly head why not pull your best/worst face and view the horror that is your gob in the Mathmos Aduki Ni’s mirrored surface. It will be distorted just like those walk-through funfair rides with all the long mirrors. Fan-bloomin-tastic!

The Mathmos Aduki Ni looks great just about anywhere around the home and can even be used outdoors to help to create a mellow evening ambience under the stars. It can be hung from tree branches thanks to the included cord. Combine a few and you’re in for a real treat. Alternatively, you could leave one at work and use it as a rather special paperweight. After all it has got a solid feel to it.

Ni… Can’t help thinking of a certain order of knights who used to say the word ni all the time...

Dart Coat Hooks

Dart Coat Hooks
Something is wrong in the world. This is ground breaking news and the people need to know: there is a household accessory most of us have a tendency to overlook. And it’s the poor old coat hook. We generally settle for a bog-standard boring example but that is all about to change now with the introduction of the Dart Coat Hooks. Courtesy of those Suck UK types, the Dart Coat Hook is one very sexy hooker. If you look closely, while they look like, well, a dart, these sturdy stainless steel missiles have a screw thread at the pointy end.

And you don’t have to be a darts fan to appreciate the irony of having what looks like real darts poking out your wall. You can pretend you have a very laissez-faire attitude and don’t care about having a bit of target practice aimed straight at your wall. If people come round don’t forget to bung all your coats in a room to free up the hooks. This way, your visitors will be able to marvel at how funny and quirky you are by having darts for coat hooks and good-looking ones at that.

Spice up your life and get your pad looking proper sexy with these sleek subtle and classy Dart Coat Hooks. Their reassuringly solid feel and obvious good looks will turn you into the stud you always were beneath that jacket of conformity. And they come in a cute little display pack too if you’re offering them as a gift.

The Good Book

The Good Book
Hiding your alcoholism from your loved ones can sometimes be a tricky task, especially with the amount of whisky you’ve got piling up in the kitchen. In all honesty though, everyone loves a sneaky snifter, but stashing a whole bottle of your favourite sauce up your jumper can sometimes look a little bit suspicious! That’s the exact reason why we all poured our selves double bourbon on the rocks and stealthily went forth into drunken merriment when we saw this ingenious hardback book that features a crafty cut-out section containing a high quality stainless steel hip flask.

The Good Book has been specifically designed for drink lovers across the globe to have a quick tipple without raising suspicion. It’s simple. Just fill the stainless steel hip flask with your favourite spirit, pop it into the cut-out section of the Good Book and snap shut without batting an eyelid. No-one’s the wiser, except you and your bootlegging book!

Dead Fred

Dead Fred
We know why people die, that’s a given, but one of the great mysteries of our time is the reason for pens disappearing. How do they do it, where do they go?!! Do they have a little secret community somewhere in the building perhaps near the stationary cupboard? It’s something that has baffled scientists for decades, a bit like how hair clips seem to multiply at an alarming rate and just randomly appear all over the place.

Well, the sick and twisted designers at Suck Uk have devised a plan to keep those rebellious pens under control with Dead Fred, a rubbery being of extreme importance. Indeed, unbeknownst to Frederick, in his deceased form he has a dual or even triple purpose in life. First of all, in a bid to relieve stress at work you can use and abuse his silicon self by repeatedly stabbing him in the heart several times a day like a crazed ex-lover would. Hum… Or if you prefer, the hole in his chest can accommodate your favourite pen.

Of all pens to lose, that’s the one to keep by your side, or in Dead Fred’s insides and he does this very well. He’ll actually sex up your desk thanks to the underling irony of having a stabable corpse in your workspace. This will impress your colleagues and hopefully take their minds off thoughts of revenge. Revenge for your sneak Popshotz sucker-tipped dart attack the other day on their computer monitor.

Dead Fred is actually quite cute really. Might sound strange but there is something very huggable about his lifeless little body. If this is getting a little weird for you, sorry but maybe he just needs some love. Trouble is, love is the last thing he’ll be getting as his tiny tactile body can double as a stress ball. Go on, bash him around a bit. It feels good.
