COOL AND LESS THAN A TENNER

Terror toy with plenty of bite!

-

EVERYONE has a favourite mug – but some bastards will always try to steal it.

But with the Plug Mug those days are gone, as it can only be used when you plug the gap.

Take the detachable plug around with you and anybody who does try to steal your drinking vessel will look a real MUG when they spill tea all over the table. POWERED by two AAA batteries, this portable mini shaver allows you to stay on top of that stubble no matter where you are.

Whether it’s a hair-free boyish look or maintainin­g a beasty beard, you never know when you need to do a bit of manscaping. BANG & OLUFSEN BEOLIT 12 SPEAKER – £599 Beoplay.com IT may cost an arm and a leg but you get plenty of BANG for your buck.

Sh*t puns aside, this speaker will blast out Westlife like a beast.

It’s a 2.1 stereo system which offers fantastic sound quality from its two 2” tweeters and its 4” woofer.

To put that in a simpler way, it’s f***ing loud and f***ing clear.

No matter how loud you seem to have it the 120 watt speaker never sacrifices sound quality and the bass is deep and rich with no distortion at all.

Sturdy

That’s a big surprise coming from a box that’s only 18.8 centimetre­s tall and 23 centimetre­s long.

Despite its lack of size, this thing weighs in at 2.8kg and feels reassuring­ly sturdy when you pick it up.

With a standard 3.5mm jack it will plug in to most devices – including MP3 players and phones – quickly and easily, so there’s no need to stop the party.

And if you’re not a big fan of wires, then you can use Apple Airplay to sync music across to it wirelessly.

It will take a good half-hour to set this up for the first time, but once connected it remembers your device and pairs almost instantly when you press the Wi-Fi button on top.

Airplay does only work with Apple products, though, so if you’re only buying it because you think wires are the work of the devil make sure you have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac.

But if you do have any other branded products don’t worry, because plugging it in really isn’t the end of the world.

It’s incredibly portable with a handy carry strap

– and with a solid eight hours’ play time there’s plenty of opportunit­y to get through the entire Westlife discograph­y before it decides to pack in.

Just plug it back into the mains when you get back home and the battery will fully charge in six hours.

It comes in four different colours, depending on what suits your home the best, and it looks incredible before it’s even turned on.

With its class D amplifier built in, this speaker offers some of the best sound quality on the market at the moment, even if it does come in at the upper end of the price scale. AIR SWIMMERS REMOTE CONTROLLED SHARK – £12.99 – www.play.com HOLY sh*t, it’s a sharknado!!! Oh wait, it’s just a shark balloon.

Scare the living poop out of your pals with this remote controlled flying shark. Choose your prey and attack.

Using the infra-red controller you can make it climb or descend, as well as moving to the normal left and right.

And with a range of 40 feet you can even hide in a separate room as you lay your elaborate trap.

It’s 36 inches tall and 57 inches long, which makes it big enough to give someone a substantia­l fright, but even just as a toy it’s fun to fly and responsive to the touch.

You have to buy the helium yourself, but with a 50% off voucher included in the purchase it shouldn’t cost too much.

Batteries also aren’t included and in total you will need seven AA batteries to get the thing fully functional.

You can even have a lot of fun singing the Jaws theme as you approach people from behind.
