Crumpler Chinese New Year 2011
Crumpler is a brand which Dats Cool has watched flourish over the last couple of decades. That cute little logo can now be spotted in many stores around the globe. This year, Crumpler is also paying tribute to Chinese New Year in the Year of the Rabbit with a limited edition line. The bags are in a bright red – a colour of luck for the Chinese. We’re not sure whether carrying one of these will necessarily bring luck, but we sure do like them!
Brita Fill & Go Bottles
Water water everywhere…maybe we can drink it? Sick of paying for water when you are out and about? Concerned about the environmental impact of buying water in plastic bottles? Well, perhaps the people at Brita have a solution!
Dats Cool have been using their water filter jugs at home for years but here is a portable version. There is a filter inside a 700ml bottle meaning that you can have filtered water when you are out and about. The filter lasts for about 80 refills which means money saved and another step towards a better environment!
Biodegradable Bags by 60
Wanna be cool then you need to go green, yep just look at every yuppy in their Prius. That’s why we’ve put this Biodegradable bag by 60 up there on the cool list. The bags are made out of flax-viscose fabric non woven fabric which is manufactured in Poland. The flax-viscose fabric is made from flax fiber industrial waste, meaning it doesn’t exploit any natural resources and requires very little energy to produce (unlike solar power panels).
With this new technology, the bags naturally decompose approximately 60 days after being discarded. Therefore, there is no need for expensive recycling or disposal in landfills.

iBreath for the iPod or iPhone
The latest gadget for the iPod and iPhone is the iBreath which allows users to check their blood alcohol content.
