Shoeps
I have trying Shoeps, these brightly colored stretchy ties replace the laces in shoes giving them a new lease of life.
They are easily fitted and interchangeable to match an outfit or mood and you never have to tie your laces again.
They seem a brilliant idea and the kids loved them as well.

Colored Heel Tips
Colored heel tips are brilliant as they transform your shoes, so a pair of simple black shoes look like stunning party shoes, they come in a variety of colors and sizes and are easily fitted.
I have been trying the bright red heel tips on a pair of black heels and they have certainly given these shoes a new lease of life.
A brilliantly simple fashion accessory.

Persil Warm Spice washing up liquid
There are lots of washing up liquids about and I have tried most of them, but I came across the Persil warm spice one of a new range from Persil.
It has a lovely Christmassy smell and a really lovely rich red colour and does bring the dirty dishes up really sparkling clean removing even hard baked on food.
At £1 for 500ml it represents better value than the cheaper alternatives
So it really does do what it says on the bottle

Hex Styli 6 in 1 Pen
I was recently given the Hex Styli 6 in 1 pen it came in a presentation box from online retailer mobilefun.co.uk and cost less than £10 so would make an ideal gift for the gadget loving man in your life.
The build quality for this gadget is good, metal barrel and knurled grip. It is useful because it has a very good stylus on the top which worked well on all the touch screen gadgets I have, iphone/Blackberry and Samsung Tablet etc, but it has more functions, take the stylus off and you have a double ended screw driver, flat blade and cross head and along the side is a useful 3 inch imperial and metric ruler and a small spirit level, which is useful for hanging pictures straight.
The only criticism is it has a small ink refill, so using it as a main pen the ink would not last long, but brilliant for just signing documents and taking quick notes.
But otherwise a great gift which is well made useful and good value.

Omni-Holder Universal case compatible car mount
Having received the universal windshield mount to test and review, I knew that I would be tested really hard as I was going to be driving through France, Switzerland, Italy and Greece.
The mount is compact in design and is flexible on the way it mounts either on the dash or window with 360 degree turn around with the fixing mount turning through 90 degrees
It held a variety of phones securely my iphone and friends Blackberry and Sony, It did not hold my old Nokia 2730 though, so it is really just for smartphones and gps units.
The mount was easy to fix securely without having to press down to hard
The holder performed well in very hot conditions, not falling off, so another plus point.
Two criticisms, one is that in some positions either mounted on the dash or the windscreen there was not much stability and the phone was shaking, (the phone was still held securely within the grip), this was cured by adjusting he phone so that it rested on the dash and the other is that the mount feels a little flimsy.
But overall the mount performed very well, not even coming loose or detached in the heat of Greece
So for the price I would recommend the Universal Windshield Mount
It can be purchased at http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/One-Car-Holders.htm for £9.99
