British Bulldog from Skyfall
Those of us who have seen Skyfall have fond memories of this little fellow from M’s desk, he has a small but surprisingly meaningful role in James Bond’s latest film.

1966 Chevrolet Batmobile and 1966 Yamaha Batcycle
It’s not everyday you get to buy 2/3rds of the Batcave in one fell swoop. These two immaculate Batmobiles are heading to the auction block on the 1st of December this year with an estimated cost of $125,000 – $175,000 USD, which is less than a new Ferrari 458 Italia and an order of magnitude cooler.
American Red Cross FRX3 Hand Turbine Radio
The American Red Cross FRX3 Hand Turbine Radio and smart phone charger is something that I am convinced every home should have, it can be powered by a hand-crank, batteries or solar and can receive AM/FM/weather band radio.
The PowerPot
The PowerPot is a relatively small, portable power generator that just requires a campfire or heat source to operate. It’s capable of charging everything from cell phones to GPS units and radios, or anything else that runs on lithium ion battery units.
Vintage Computing
In the days before Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even Silodrome, computers were a lot better looking. Though they didn’t have solitaire installed and it wasn’t yet possible to look at pictures of naked women on them. Not all progress is bad I guess.
Oru Folding Kayak
The Oru Folding Kayak is a staggeringly clever piece of design, it’s the brainchild of San Francisco designer Anton Willis and it’s been created to fold out..
Groundsurf by 1135Garnet
The Groundsurf is a new innovation from 1135Garnet, believe it or not, it’s an electric skateboard with front wheel drive, a rear suspension/steering mechanism and a sensor that can detect you falling off and stop the power to the wheels.
Leverage Carbon Fibre Bottle Opener
This opener, dubbed “leverage”, takes minimalism to new heights with a total thickness of .059″ and a weight of .3oz, it’s made from solid carbon fibre and is the exact same size as a standard credit card.
SpareOne Emergency Phone
If you’re one of those people, like us, who has a habit of accidentally destroying your iPhone every time you leave the house, the SpareOne Emergency Phone might be just what you need.
Cirrus Ice Ball Press Kit
Ice balls are a relatively new discovery of mine, I first encountered them when my brother, who was a bar manager at the time, pulled out a contraption and loaded a giant cube of ice into it. The device slowly melted the cube into a clear sphere of ice which was then dropped into my bourbon.
First Aid Flask
Sometimes, it really is medicinal. If you find yourself in a pinch and their doesn’t happen to be a Saint Bernard handy, this flask should just about do the trick.
Honda F1 Titanium Suspension Stud Keyring
This clever little keyring was brought to my attention earlier this week by one of our regular readers, it’s a titanium suspension stud from a Honda Formula 1 car and you can buy it, along with a whole series of other Formua 1 related keepsakes over at Ledon Gifts here.
