Gadgets for the workplace are very much in vogue at the moment; and none more so than the office.  You can get office gadgets that perform a whole host of menial tasks, and whilst many could be described as novelty; some are truly innovative.  As boredom busters, office gadgets just cannot be beaten.  And as most places are still in sale, you can pick up some seriously fun gadgets for a relatively small outlay.  Let the mayhem commence!

Just consider how much fun you could get from these beauties!

Valentine’s Day Shortcuts at Tesco Direct

Tesco Direct Valentines Day Gifts
January 28, 2013 By In Entertainment, Gifts, Saving Money

Despite striking fear into the hearts of loved-up couples and sour singletons across the country, Valentine’s Day is most definitely here to stay. In fact, according to a recent survey carried out by MyVoucherCodes, almost half of us plan to splash the cash on a loved one this year – and the cost of all this love-addled lunacy, you ask? A whopping 668 million quid. Ouch.

To put that number into perspective, that’s enough money to pay for the Olympic opening ceremony 27 times, or – if we’re lucky – purchase a small island where we can bury any DVD featuring the ramblings of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. Much better.

Of course, while it’s customary for new couples to wrap enough pressies to cause a worldwide glitter shortage, you needn’t spend a fortune this Valentine’s Day. In fact, when it comes to finding the perfect Valentine’s gift, Tesco Direct has everything you could possibly ask for.

Strapped for time and cash, but still want to impress that special someone? Check out these fantastic Valentine’s Day shortcuts!

Cinema fully booked? Stock up on romantic movies!

Cinemas are notoriously busy on Valentine’s Day, so why not order a movie instead? It sure beats the sticky floors, overpriced popcorn and incessant bag-rustling of your local multiplex – and you get to keep the movie forever. Boasting romantic DVDs from £3, Tesco Direct has you sorted.

Concert sold out? Buy her a romantic album!

If you’re a clueless bloke, you’d be forgiven for thinking a “Bublé” is some kind of exotic, underwater crustacean. But you’d be dead wrong. The jazz-man known as Michael Bublé is, in fact, the world’s foremost weakener-of-the-knees among womenfolk, and you’d be smart to apply him liberally to your partner’s ears this Valentine’s Day. Set the right mood with these romantic CDs from £3 at Tesco Direct.

Meals, Chocolate and Wine Gifts

Restaurants are fully-booked months in advance of Valentine’s Day, so why not cook a delicious meal for your loved one instead? If all goes to plan, it has the potential to be even more romantic than a meal out – and you don’t have to pretend you like lobster or know how to use fancy cutlery either.

Tesco not only has a great number of recipes for you to try, but also features a variety of wine and chocolate gifts to satisfy the sweet tooth inside all of us. What’s more, Tesco Direct is also offering £5 off when you spend £25 on entertainment for a limited time – perfect for last minute Valentine’s Day gifts.

Looking for even more Valentine’s Day offers and discounts? Be sure to check out myvouchercodes.co.uk.

 

Love Don’t Cost a Thing: The Best Valentine’s Day Bargains

Valentine's Day Roses
January 26, 2013 By In Entertainment, Gifts, Lifestyle

You might very well be madly, hopelessly in love – but does the arrival of Valentine’s Day still seem to bring out the cynic in you?

Never mind singletons, the loudest critics of this annual ‘holiday’ are often those that struggle with the pressure of spending money. After all, with every shop you go into reminding you of all the gifts your loved one is bound to be expecting… it can work out to be a pretty expensive day.

Of course, we’re certainly not in the business of being bitter – and we’d happily encourage declarations of love on any given day of the year – but if the thought of splashing out on Michelin-star meals, clothes, holidays or jewellery spells bad news for you (and your bank balance), how are you meant to express your love without spending over the odds?

Luckily, we’ve decided to help take some of the stress out of Valentine’s Day, so you can forget those money worries and simply get wrapped up in the romance of it all.

Here’s just a few of the best 2 for 1 deals, February 14th offers and couple-related gift ideas…

Eating Out


If you’d like to wine and dine your partner, check out top eateries: Carluccios and La Tasca. Depending on whether you’re in the mood for Italian or Spanish, they are both offering 2 for 1 deals on main meals or tapas to share this February.

Experience Days


For a bit of bonding time, Red Letter Days are currently offering a selection of discounts on pamper and relaxation days for two. Or check out the INeedPampering.com Valentine’s Day special – with 10% off everything plus a free couple’s photo shoot.

Flowers


You could always say it with flowers; Debenhams are offering 10% off Valentine’s Day bouquets. Or, try Bunches, who have a great deal including free delivery and a box of chocolates with every order.

Regardless of how you plan on spending the most romantic day of the year, try not to blow the budget – by being a little smart with your money, you could have enough to treat each other all year round.

FeatureImageWinterWarmers
January 24, 2013 By In Fashion, Lifestyle

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Men

supercar
January 22, 2013 By In Gadgets, Gifts, Lifestyle, Other

Men can be notoriously difficult to buy for, and finding that perfect gift for Valentine’s Day can be a real headache. If you are struggling to think of something special for the notable man in your life, here are a few ideas that might help you out.

February 14th sees the return of the annual ‘love-in’ that is Valentine’s Day; a day that couples will look forward to and dread in equal measure. Sure the first few are easy, think flowers, chocolate and smoochy teddy bears. But for established couples it isn’t so easy, and for that special guy doubly so.

What on earth do you buy men on Valentine’s Day? Guys are just not as sentimental as women, and many wouldn’t choose to mark the day if given a choice. But that would be a real shame, especially when there is so much doom and gloom about. A bit of romance can go a long way! So look beyond socks and cufflinks, so that blokes everywhere don’t get left disappointed on Valentine’s Day.

Here are a few blokey gift ideas to help you out.

Tabasco Chocolate Tin

Ok so chocolate is hardly original, but there is no getting away from the fact that it is a well-known aphrodisiac. But it needn’t be boring; the chocolate in this tin has been made with heat-seekers in mind, with a few drops of tasty Tabasco sauce dripped tantalisingly into the mixture. Spice up your love life for only £4.95 at Prezzybox.

Hand Weights

Using hand weights can increase flexibility, build muscle mass, and help lose weight. So as a subtle way of suggesting your guy needs to tone up a little, these weights that range from £3 through to £13 could be a perfect solution. Far less bulky than regular weights, which makes them usable for you too (obviously when he isn’t looking). Available from John Lewis.

Driving Experience

If you want to push the boat out a little further, why not consider an experience that will live long in the memory. From rugged 4x4s and Hummers to sleek supercars, there is nothing quite like taking out your stresses on the track. And for added romance, share the experience and make a bet on who will perform best. (The punishment will be up to you to decide!) From Under £20 at Virgin Experience Days.

Designer Underwear

Whilst socks may definitely not be on the romantic list, the same cannot be said for underwear in general. After all, what is good for him in the pants department is also good for you! So a gift of some designer boxers would be a win win solution. For a huge selection be sure to check out Figleaves.

Scanner for ipad

The DOCS2GO Scanner for iPad is a sleek, portable scanner for documents, photos and more. And whilst on the more expensive side at £149.99, just imagine all the favours he will owe you in return. Plus think of the fun you can have creating saucy valentines memories (although be sure not to leave them lying about) Order today from Firebox.

Remote Control Cushion

If your fella is a bit of a couch potato (pretty much all of us) then what could make a better gift than a novelty Remote Control Cushion. Losing the remote will never be a problem again, as it will be behind you. The cushion uses LED infra-red technology, and is universally compatible with TVs. Throwing a cushion at a loved one takes on a whole new dimension. Yours for £19.99 at Menkind.

Ladies Football Kit

Whilst it may strictly be a gift for you, it will certainly be a gift for him as you dress up in his beloved team colours. It may be a cliché, but it still remains a potent one for footle obsessed guys up and down the country. Who knows, it might even be enough to distract him on a Saturday afternoon! Find a large choice of ladies football kits at Kitbag.

Gaming Discounts: Last Year’s Games, New Year’s Prices

Hitman Absolution
January 21, 2013 By In Games, Saving Money

When it comes to video games and geekery, January is shaping up to be a fantastic month. Never mind the recent shower of snow, which has been spewing its way across the country for the past week; it’s possibly the closest we’ll ever get to being in a snow level from Super Mario World, after all. Besides, with workplaces and schools shutting down for the cold snap, you’ve never had a better opportunity to catch up on twenty twelve’s finest games.

Fortunately, with the sale season in full swing, there’s never been a better time to hunt for gaming bargains. Indeed, whether you’re buying a shiny new game or pre-owned gem, there’s a plethora of fantastic games out there for you to enjoy – and we’ve rounded up the very best of them. Here’s our pick of the biggest gaming bargains around…

Far Cry 3

While a tropical island might sound like the perfect holiday destination, you might want to think again. Set on an island ravaged by violence, players find themselves caught up in a bloody brawl between psychotic warlords and indigenous rebels. With a beautiful, sprawling environment to explore; mysteries to uncover and brilliant gunplay, Far Cry 3 is an absolute steal for thirty quid.

Best Price: £30 at Amazon Total Saving: £9.99

Assassin’s Creed 3

While not quite the pinnacle of the popular stealth series, Assassin’s Creed III is still worth your time and money. Set in an alternate history, the game follows Renaissance stabber, Altair, and bland-o-man Desmond Miles as they embark on a journey through time to discover hidden truths. It’s a bit like the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are, but with less Jeremy Clarkson and the more disembowelling. Well worth a look.

Best Price: £29.99 at Amazon (Pre-owned) Total Saving: £10

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

Okay, okay, so the campaign makes less sense than Inception watched in reverse, but that hasn’t stopped Black Ops: 2 selling like hot cakes. While it’s certainly not as brilliant as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Treyarch has done a fantastic job emulating the style and sass of Infinity Ward’s military cash cow. While the campaign mode has its fair share of highlights (nightclub shootouts, anyone?), it’s the multiplayer that truly stands out here.

Best Price: £24.99 at Play (pre-owned) Total Saving: £10

Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Good old Criterion Games, eh? The Need for Speed franchise had been waning for years until the arrival of NFS: Hot Pursuit – a high-octane, arcade racer that breathed new life into the ageing series. Now, the Guildford-based developers have done it again with NFS: Most Wanted, a game that’s every bit as explosive as its 2005, cop-dodging original.

Best Price: £18.99 at Play (Pre-owned) Total Saving: £21

Resident Evil 6

Essentially three games in one, Resident Evil 6 gives a lot of bang for your buck. While not as terrifying as previous instalments, thanks to a new-found emphasis on kicking things in the face, Resident Evil 6 is an adrenaline-packed adventure that should appeal to anyone who loves the Gears of War franchise. With ballsy set pieces, honking melodrama, and a soundtrack worthy of the biggest Hollywood blockbuster, Resident Evil 6 is certainly worth a look.

Best price: £12 at Amazon (Pre-owned) Total Saving: £28

Hitman: Absolution

After the lukewarm reception of IO’s Kane and Lynch, fans were overjoyed to see their favourite, follically-challenged agent return for yet another stab-fest. With decidedly Hollywood production values, Hitman: Absolution takes a more story-based approach to proceedings, as opposed to the mission-based structure of previous games. While there are certainly a few missteps, Hitman: Absolution shows great promise for the future of the franchise, and comes highly recommended for fans of the series.

Best Price: £14.99 at Play (Pre-owned) Total Saving: £25

Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect 3 is a storytelling experience like no other. Picking up where the last game left off, players once again assume the role of Commander Shepard – humanity’s last hope against the Reapers, a synthetic race of star ships, hell-bent on wiping the galaxy of sentient life. Boasting incredible dialogue, stunning visuals, and voice acting from Hollywood’s finest, Mass Effect 3 is essential.

Best Price: £11.99 at Game (Pre-owned) Total Saving: £28

Dishonored

When it was first announced, games critics fell to their knees at the mere sight of Dishonored – and it’s not hard to see why. Mixing the best elements of Half-Life 2 and BioShock into one cohesive package, Dishonored is a first person shooter like no other. Oh, and it’s dash pretty to boot.

Best Price: £24.99 at Game Total Saving: £15

Max Payne 3

Max Payne 3 is arguably the darkest game in the series yet. Double-crossed and locked in a city of violence and bloodshed, Max must blast his way to the truth in this third outing, resulting in one of the most electrifying experiences of the year. With breathtaking animation and some of the most cinematic storytelling ever committed to a video game, Max Payne 3 is a full-on assault on the senses.

Best Price: £14 at ShopTo Total Saving: £26

Halo 4

Nothing gets pulses racing faster than the launch of a new Halo game. Helmed by new developer 343 Industries, Halo 4 is a game of tremendous scope, and one that far outpaces its forerunners when it comes to narrative. With powerful new weapons to wield, vehicles to drive and enemies to battle, the game rarely sports a dull moment. Couple this with a brilliantly addictive multiplayer mode, and you’ve got of the best games on Xbox 360. Halo 4 is about as essential as gaming gets.

Best Price: £25 at Play (Pre-owned) Total Saving: £15

Borderlands 2

The follow-up to the original ‘looter shooter’, Borderlands 2 once again returns to the land of Pandora – which now finds itself in the clutches of Handsome Jack, a corporate bigot who is mining the planet of its precious resources. Needless to say, it’s up to you to defeat him before he awakens an ancient alien evil known only as “the Warrior.” With beautiful cel-shaded visuals, an imaginative world to explore, and an anarchic sense of humour, Borderlands 2 comes highly recommended.

Best Price: £19.85 at ShopTo Total Saving: £20.14
