Thanks for the Christmas Jumper Switzerland...

As popular today as they ever were... 

Switzerland has given the World many wonderful things. Those little knives the Swiss Army use in battle, the 1960s woollies that kept skiers warm in the snow and Muesli. Which one is best? Well, you decide...

Up to 85 tools

First supplied to the Swiss Army in 1891 this elaborate cutlery originally had only four gadgets tucked away in its wooden barrel:  A blade, screwdriver, can opener and a punch. The original knives were used by officers and were known as the Swiss Officers Knife. Shortened to the "Swiss Army Knife" by the Americans after the second World War today there's one with a ludicrous eighty five tools.

What do Bill Crosby, Chevy Chase, Alan Partridge and Colin Firth have in common?  Yes, you guessed it, they all found it cool to be uncool wearing an eye-wateringly  hideous Christmas Jumper. By today's wacky standards the Swiss ski-style sweaters don't look anywhere near ugly enough now, but it was the Swiss that really set the ball rolling and for that we salute you.

Christmas Jumpers sell out quickly so get yours while you can...

The Swiss gave us muesli one of the Pillars of good eating...

Once Switzerland's national dish this nutty-seed combo is now prescribed by Drs all over the World as an effective alternative to Allbran. Not only does Swiss muesli taste good it's highly nutritious too with a single bowl full providing as much energy as three packets of cheese and onion crisps.

So there you are, its a tricky choice we know. If its any help we wouldn't really want you to fall out with the Swiss Army, or your Doctor, but on the other hand...

Father's Day Competition | Win Dad the Funniest Socks in the World

The Handy Ideas Sock or Sandal? 
Father's Day Competition 

For Father's Day, we thought it would be a laugh to give away a pair of our popular Sandal Socks.

At first glance, when the family are down this Father's Day, it'll look as if Dad's wearing a really naff pair of sandals. To make it worse he'll appear to be shamelessly wearing the sandals with disgracefully embarrassing knee length socks. Once everyone realises they're not really sandals and Dad's not naff after all, believe us, it'll be funny...

The lucky winner will be announced on Friday 13th June.

From us all at Handy Ideas, good Luck everyone...

Socks and Chocs for Father’s Day? Nah, give Dad a gadget...

Father's Day is June 15th | Get ready to party

With Father’s Day just around the corner it’s time to start thinking about how you’d like to treat Dad again this year...  

Buying for Father’s Day isn't that easy though is it? Dad seems to have everything.  One thing for sure though, Dads love a gadget.

At Handy Ideas we’ve got some cracking fun-packed gift ideas for you and they’re not only really useful they’ll put a great big smile on Dad’s face on Father’s Day too.  Here’s five favourites we know Dad’ll love:

First up we’ve gone for one of our ever popular Comedy Sandals.  We’ll they look like a Sandal, but surprise, surprise they’re really a novelty knee-length sock.

Has Dad ever been out and about and wish he’d bought a bottle opener?  We’ve got him just the thing.  This sturdy little Keyring Bottle Opener blends in perfectly with your keys.  At just £6.95 you don’t have to spend a fortune either...

Barbecuing Dad's | Top Gadget

Next, and new in at Handy Ideas this week, is our favourite. If your Dad loves a beer he can turn up at the party armed to the teeth.  The Novelty Beer Belt hold’s a arsenal of six bottles, or cans and is another top gift ideas for under a tenner.

Father's Day Fun

We don’t know what it is about a barbecue, but somehow it brings out the cook in a man. We thought, that if Dad’s want to cook they’ll need to be dressed for it and here it is. The ManApron.  It’s sturdy, has plenty of pockets and hooks to hold all Dads cookery gadgets and best of all Dad’ll have a load of fun cooking with it on too...  

To finish up with we really like this iPhone5 cover that doubles up as a Retro Maze Game.  There are so many twists and turns for Dad to get around before the little silver ball reaches its goal that, once he picks it up he’ll find it hard to put it down.  

So there you are, our Top 5 Gadgets Father’s Day.   We hope Dad likes them as much as we do and there's 10% off for you here too..

Gadget George gives her tablet a great big hug and reviews the Coz-e-reader

Pick your fav’colour, grab a Coz-e-reader 
and make a date with your new bestie

Hello again, it’s Gadget George and time for me to review another top gadget from Handy Ideas.

Now, I’m kinda laid back, so I thought I'd chill-out with my tablet a while and try out the new Coz-e-reader Tablet Cushion 

I use an iPad, mostly for browsing and snuggled up watching the movies, so being all cosy with my tablet is a pretty appealing feature of this new gizmo.

First, pick a Coz-e-reader from the big range of colours. They all look pretty snazzy, but the cool black and red was more “Gadget George” so I went for that. It feels really cushiony and there’s a slot on the front to slip the long side of the tablet into.  The Coz-e-reader holds it nice and tight which is good. The tablet then gently reclines to a comfortable 45 degrees, maybe a bit more, which makes it look pretty chilled itself resting on its cosy cushion.  The bottom of the cushion is flat so I found it sat easily on my lap, both sitting and lying back.  In fact, I’d say it performed best the more cosy the pose.

Another great feature is that you can get at the buttons on the sides of the tablet while you’re using it. Other tablet holders I’ve seen pop the gadget into a recess, which makes the controls hard to get at, so that’s another plus point for my cosy friend.

Comparing it to using my iPad without the Coz-e-reader, it left me with a really steady screen and both hands free. Perfect...  

There's a cushion for your Kindle too... 

I love the Coz-e-reader and would go so far to say that from now on, whether I’m chatting online, tucked up watching catch-up TV, or just browsing around on the web, I’ll definately be using my new tablet cushion. 

See you next time. George.

Oh, by the way, if you’re a Kindle or, e-reader fan, there’s also a smaller Coz-e-reader cushion for you too!  Wow, these guys think of everything...

Off on your holidays? Here's some really handy Travel Gadgets?

Who’s going travelling this Easter?  Well, if you are you'll be pleased to know that at Handy Ideas we're  always on the lookout for a good gadget and we're going to take you on trip to see what we've found. 

The Language Bangle does your talking for you... 

On your journey you’ll find a useful Bottle Clip, a scratch-as-you-go Travel Map, some really snazzy Language Bangles, a handy London Underground Map and our favourite, a really handy waterproof iSwim for your iPhone...

Let's face it us Brits aren't good at learning the lingo when we're away on holiday so these Language Travel Bangles help a lot. If you need something, like a bus, a bar, or "toileto", just apologise that you "speakie no Spanish" and point at the symbol of what you need on the Language Bangle.  Great idea and a great way to get talking when you're on holiday abroad.

Hold's your water bottle so you don't have to... 

Pops into your wallet like a credit card

I don't know about you, but when you're out and about on Holiday and it’s really hot you don't want to be holding onto a great big bottle all day?  With this clever little Bottle Clip now you don't have to. Just clip your bottle safely to your bag, or belt and off you go; hands-free.

If you've ever been on the London Underground you'll know how useful a map can be to find your way around the tube - but they're all so big. We've been looking for a little one you can keep in your wallet and we've found just the thing. It's tough, durable and slips into your wallet like a credit card...

Next up we've got the iSwim, the handy idea that lets you take your iPhone swimming with you. We dare say the iPhone enjoys a dip, but that's not why we love the iSwim. The beauty of this little gadget is that you don't have to leave your expensive iPhone pool-side to get lifted as soon as you jump into the pool.

100% waterproof your iPhon with an iSwim

The Scratch Map is great fun for anyone back-packing around the World, or if your're the kind of person who loves to record where they have been at home afterwards. It's a bit like sticking a pin into a country you've been to on an ordinary map, but instead, when you scratch off where you've been it changes colour.

Oh and, by the way, the Scratch Map rolls up into sturdy little tube so that you can tuck it away safely into your rucksack.

The Scratch Map rolls up safely into a sturdy tub on your travels

We hoped you've enjoyed you're journey through some of our top travel gadgets and that you've had a chance to have a quick look around the shop to see what other great gadgets we've got for you...

Happy Holidays...

Just before we go just a reminder that there's FREE UK POST at Handy Ideas and from just £5.99 Worldwide

Gadget George at Handy Ideas takes a look at the smart way to selfie...

Snap Remote' | The smart way to selfie 

Hello fellow gadget enthusiasts. This week I'm diving deep into the future of group photos and selfies and to tell you that Handy Ideas have just the gadget get the job done... 

With the ‘Snap remote’ you can now capture awkward-to-take images on your iPhone with ease.  In the snap of a button this lightweight and simple to use little gadget remotely activates your iPhone camera enabling you to take photos from up to three metres away.

The remote comes with a free App which you can download on any Apple, or Android device. Alongside the remote, you’ll get a handy little stand which grips onto your phone and helps you to set-up your shot perfectly before snapping away.

I was thrilled with the ease I could use the remote, which enabled me to take better timed photos and include myself in group shots too! After finally avoiding the awkward arm in a ‘selfie’, I’d highly recommend the snap remote.

See you next time...
