Check you meal’s sodium levels with The Handy Salt Meter

The older we get, the more we realize just how much we should be paying attention to the food that we put in our body. It starts out with watching how many calories we’re eating, then cholesterol, and eventually, you’ll even be looking at the sodium content of your meal. However, when you’re in a restaurant, you might not be able to get a straight answer about just how much salt is in your food. If you have a health condition that depends on you knowing this detail, you’ll need a little extra help finding this out.

BoostTurbine 4000 lets you literally crank out power

Keeping your phone charged is a pretty important task. After all, these days our smartphones are practically our lifeline to the rest of the world. Most people can’t be without theirs for more than an hour, without worrying that they’re missing important messages, emails, or calls. So what do you do when you’re in a situation where the power is out, or you simply don’t have access to an outlet? Well, sometimes you have to make your own power.

Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab

So, you might not be a very good scientist, and neither are you a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but at the very least, you have $29.99 in your pockets or bank account to pick up the Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab from Thinkgeek, right? Bring to life your aspiring desire to be the fictional Tony Stark (of course, one does wonder, would Tony Stark win a battle against Bruce Wayne?) with this Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab, where it has been described to be a science kit for little Tony Stark wannabes. Boasting of two dozen different combinations of chips, it even comes with a nightlight mode with a display stand – you know, to scare away monsters from under the bed or inside the closet.

This will definitely bring the creativity level of your wee ones to the next level. After all, leaving them with a box of scraps will see them create something with enough time, all thanks to the wonders of their imagination despite their limited physical resources. This Arc Reactor is not going to power your home anytime soon, but rebuilding it in different ways would result in different light and power effects, how cool is that? Each Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab purchase would be accompanied by an educational poster that ties Iron Man to real world science, and a trio of AAA batteries are required to power this thing.

Hi! Magnetic Voice Recorder

For the older generation out there, to leave a reminder for your family members or colleagues, you would more often than not rely on the standard Post-It note. The thing is, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Good thing us humans are an enterprising lot – and some of us out there love to reinvent the wheel (and actually succeed), which is why there is the existence of the £12.99 Hi! Magnetic Voice Recorder that will come in blue and red shades.

With the Hi! Magnetic Voice Recorder, you will be able to use it to record your very own messages that would max out at 10 seconds in length (definitely better than a 6 second video, don’t you think so?), allowing you to be as helpful, remorseful or silly as you like. Made out of an extremely soft silicone rubber, when accompanied with a handy magnetic back, it should be able to stick to the home’s fridge for the rest of the family to know what kind of 10-second message you have in store for them for the day. All it takes is a single press of a button to record your message, and you’re good to go.
