Mobile Phone Jail Cell
We agree that smartphones have made our lives easier, but there’s a difference between swiftly responding to emails and doom scrolling on Facebook. If you find yourself mindlessly breezing through social media, knowing you’ve got more important things to do, then you need a Mobile Phone Jail Cell. Lock away your phone and spend more time getting things done! You can also lock away other things, from chocolate bars to your child’s (or partner’s) PS5 remote if they’ve been naughty!

Barricade BT Speaker
Be the life of the party, whether inside or the great outdoors, with the Barricade BT Speaker. It packs a punch, delivering crisp tunes with decent bass, and can take the punches just as well. It’s impact-resistant and waterproof in up to three metres of water, but it’s also buoyant enough that you don’t need to worry about it sinking. The battery also lasts up to 8 hours of playtime, which can also be used to charge your dying devices.

Oculus Quest VR Headset
For too long, virtual reality has been a budding trend, yet to break into the mainstream market. But the trend is expected to go gangbusters in 2021, mostly thanks to the VR gaming industry, with more than 15 new releases to hit the shelves (or online stores). We recommended jumping on the bandwagon and getting yourself a new Oculus Quest VR Headset, which can be used for more than just gaming. This one comes with touch controllers to easily make every gameplay that little more realistic.

GREPRO Car Battery Jump Starter
Nothing would be more awful than stalling your car in the middle of nowhere and in need of a jumper cable to jumpstart your car again. And that’s where the GREPRO Car Battery Jump Starter will come in handy. As well as rebooting your wayward car, this also doubles as a charging pack for your devices, and at 21,000mAh, it’ll get the job done on all size devices. It also has an LED flashlight that can be toggled between a standard beam to an SOS flicker.
