Each of the cases is rechargeable from any standard outlet and come with the required cables to plug your iPhone, iPod, Android phone etc into them, to create an instant party wherever you happen to be.

2013 Honda Grom
The brand new 2013 Honda Grom is one of the more exciting developments in the world of modern production motorcycles in recent memory, it’s a bike built purely for fun, it’s simple, it’s well made and it’s as cheap as chips. Well it’s $2,999 USD, so it’s as cheap as chips with some caviar and white truffle on them.

Garmin Rino 655t GPS/2-Way Radio
The Garmin Rino 655t is a GPS/2-Way Radio/Camera unit that’s waterproof, drop-proof, mud-proof and child-proof. Although I’m a little doubtful about that last one.

Vintage Edison Industrial Lamp
The Edison light globes, with their glowing filaments, have always fascinated me. Modern, energy efficient lighting with LED or fluorescent bulbs are useful for the garage or bathroom but when it comes to a desktop lamp, I think we need something a little cooler.
