City underwater
This cool effect for HSBC by Ogilvy & Mather Mumbai ad agency in India was made as an attempt to raise awarness of global warming. An aerial photo was taken of New York and then stuck to the bottom of the swimming pool. The end product looks like a city submerged in water.
Handi Drink For Your Dog
When going for a long walk or run, we tend to bring ourselves a drink bottle. So why shouldn’t our pets get the same? Here is a handy way to provide your dog with a drink whilst going for a walk or run without them having to resort to puddles or drains!
Bad breath-alizer
This gadget gives you an indication of whether you have bad breath. You simply blow into the mouth piece and it gives your breath a rating out of 6 with 6 being offensive bad breath and 1 being fresh breath. As an added bonus, it also acts as an alcohol detector to let you know whether you have had a bit too much to drink!
Anti-Theft Lunch Bag
You need to get one of these if you’re worried about your colleagues stealing your lunch. Don’t laugh it happens and I’ve even heard of people being sacked in some cases. If you’re interested in getting these bags, please send an email to skforlee@gmail.com.
Condom Dispenser
Previously reserved for gas station bathrooms, the condom dispenser moves into the bedroom (which obviously makes more sense) with the help of sleek materials and modern design. Condo-M, the personal condom dispenser, provides a discreet and stylish way to keep your condoms handy and in stock. Cool thing about this is everytime it dispenses a condom it tells you exactly how much you have left so you can always make sure your fully stocked.
ICE Hotel in Sweden
The ICE Hotel is situated in a small village called Jukkas, 200 kms north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. The heart and backbone of this village is the River Torne which flows freely through the unspoilt wilderness. During winter, the ice gets to a metre thick and is used as a source for all the art, architecture and design.
The rooms are decorated with ice art and sculptures. The website quotes ‘You sleep in a thermal sleeping bag on a special bed of snow and ice, on reindeer skins. You are awakened in the morning with a cup of hot lingonberry juice at your bedside.’
If you want to know how cold the rooms get, then try between -5 °C to -8 °C degrees. Be prepared to dress in warm thermal underwear and a hat and enjoy the experience of the Artic weather indoors with someone special.
Make sure you book in advance as most weekends are already fully booked. The prices range from £90 ($180) to £250 ($500) a night.
