Sometimes a gadget comes out that makes you think “Why wasn’t that invented a hundred years ago?!” In this case it pretty much was, albeit not as an iPhone accessory.  What you’re looking at is the iVictrola – essentially a gramophone attachment for your iPhone or iPod Touch.

I’ll let you make your own mind up about this one.  Found via uncrate (who’s take on this is that it won’t make you look like a sex addict) is this German-designed stainless steel condom dispenser.

These wall graphics by Hu2 Design are awesome.  The ideas are really creative and fun, and look like an inventive way to add character to bold-coloured walls especially.

If you’re after somewhere to hang your coat that doesn’t look like it came straight out of the IKEA catalogue then maybe this rather rugged idea from Touch of Ginger is more your style?

This jaunty looking device is set to be the best media-streaming solution for non-geeks since the invention of the TV.  If you haven’t heard of Boxee before, it’s an all-in-one application allowing you to play your movies and music on your TV as well as access online content.

As if there weren’t enough ways to spend well over 2 thousand dollars here’s another – a beautifully designed clock that features copper digits welded on to a bicycle chain that rotates around a gear to tell the time.

LaCie are no strangers to creating well designed computer accessories – from FA Porsche designed hard drive enclosures to brightly-coloured flat cables, they certainly seem to care about style as well as substance.  These new speakers, the Sound2, are no exception.

Say goodbye to dull shot glasses and upgrade to something with a little more “punch” for your next session!   These special shot glasses by US designers Fred are just the thing.  They are actually made of two layers of glass – one normal layer on the outside, and a frosted layer shaped like a bomb on the inside.

OK, so it may not be the ideal time of year to be investing in cooling devices, but you might want to put this on your Christmas list in time for next summer.  What you are looking at, strangely enough, is a fan – although not as we know it.

If you take your shiraz or pinot noir seriously you won’t need us to tell you that red wine needs to breathe to be at it’s best.  Allowing the wine to react with the air before you drink it enhances the flavours and makes for a smoother finish.  In the past this has meant uncorking and/or decanting the bottle and leaving it for hours, or at least spinning your glass around frantically in the manner of Oz Clarke.
