Powermat to the rescue!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Powermat. All opinions are 100% mine.

wiresIf you are any thing like me and every other 20-something-year-old, you probably have a ridiculous amount of electronic devices, and therefore a ridiculous amount of cables, wires and chargers!

At the moment sitting on my desk I have chargers for three phones, ipod, nintendo ds, rechargeable batteries, digital camera and my wireless headphones. I try to keep them all nice and tidy in a little plastic box, but of course it doesn’t work out like that and they end up strewn all over the place – causing the neat freak in me to cry a little inside!

Powermat It seems like I may have just discovered the perfect solution though in a product called Powermat. As the name suggests it’s simply a mat that will charge various popular gadgets such as your DS, iphone or blackberry – all without wires and the need to keep swapping chargers. The mats come in various sizes for use either at home or on the go and can charge as many as four items at a time, simply by placing them on it!

Erm, bliss.

Why didn’t I know this product existed before now?

I think with Christmas on the way and gadget loving relatives galore I am going to have a pretty easy time when it comes to buying gifts this year :)

The name’s Bond…

james_bond_skiingEver noticed that James Bond likes to Ski? Probably not as it’s a bit of a random fact, but as someone who grew up on James Bond movies thanks to my Dad it is something that I noticed because I always seemed to come away from watching them wanting to look up and book myself ski holidays despite previously having no interest in them. I believe we’ve seen James Bond skiing, usually away from gun wielding criminals, in at least 5 of the films – including the first Bond film I ever watched way back when I was just 5 years old – A View to a Kill. Also in my all time favourite Bond film – The World is Not Enough.

I was just thinking the other day that it’s been a while since a Bond movie came out and went to see what was coming next, and I realised I have not actually seen the last two! That would definitely explain why it seems like it has been a while as the last one I saw was Die Another Day in 2002. I have not even seen Daniel Craig in action yet.

Looks like I know what my plans for next weekend are, James Bond catch up time. Awesome :)
