SMART STUFF #1, VOLUME 3. JANUARY 2007 |..1..2..3..4


New thermo glasses from Bodum
New thermo glasses from Bodum.
It's been a while since we posted on the first smart double walled thermo glasses from Bodum. The glasses must have been a success, since Bodum USA are introducing a new range of double walled thermo glasses. The new glasses are meant for drinks, champagne, beer and schnapps, and they are available from USD 9:95 for the cute schnapps glass (2:nd from the left) up to USD 24:95 for the tall beer glass.

Rotating adapter makes room for more transformers
Rotating socket adapter makes more room.
After yesterday's post on the new wall socket, we happened to stumble upon this pretty clever device . It reminds us a bit of the very smart rotating wall sockets from 360° Electric, but probably easier to install. The adapter is simply a piggyback middle plug that goes between your wall socket and the transformer you want to plug in. It's USD 9:99 on Improvements, but there does not seem to be a EU version, alas. [Via]

Three-way flat wall socket.
We are always on the lookout for new smarter electrical plugs and sockets. After all, we use so many electrically powered products and gizmos, that power supply for all our gear becomes crucial. During our first two years with Smart Stuff, we have found some that made us wish they were available in European standard. And some that are. The wall socket above is one of them. From electric supplier Gelia, it sports one grounded socket and two flat Europlug sockets. We found it at Fredells in Stockholm right after Christmas when we were shopping for something else. It was not exactly cheap at SEK 225:- (approx. USD 32:50), but we will nevertheless test it by replacing one of the wall sockets in First Daughters apartment. She really needs more power outlets.

See the other smart plugs and sockets we have found after these links:

Kids bicycle safety handle.
After inventor-to-be Marie-Louse Jansson's son fell off his bike and had several of his ribs broken by his bicycle's handlebars, Ms Jansson started thinking of ways to prevent such accidents. The results of her thinking is the bicycle safety handle above. The innovative handlebar ends expand and provide a cushioning effect should they impact the body of a small rider. The safety handles are sold in Swedish bike stores and also in several other European countries.
