Ordinary speakers sitting out in the yard won’t exactly blend in with the scenery.  If you don’t like technology standing out in your garden, you might pick up this Creative speaker.  It won’t exactly fool people into thinking it’s a real rock, especially if they bump into it.  However, it will keep your patio from looking like it’s cluttered with technology. The speaker has one side that reveals that it’s definitely a speaker and not a rock.  Being a speaker made for the outdoors, it’ll work just fine no matter if it’s bright and sunny or a dreary rainy day.  It’ll also be perfectly safe out in the snow.  It has a 6.5 inch stereo speaker with dual tweeters.  Out in the open air it’ll offer contoured sound.  It also has a rechargeable battery that will run for 6 hours.  You can purchase it for $199.99 through Amazon .

Cars get all sorts of adapters to make sure that your devices stay well charged.  Unfortunately, bicycles don’t exactly come with those same benefits.  That’s bad news for those that are using a bike to get to work everyday.  Thankfully one crafty person has created a way to charge up your USB devices while you’re pedaling down the road. They’ve done it by taking your typical USB car adapter and connecting that to a voltage regulator.  The regulator is then in turn connected to a stepper motor mounted onto the rear wheel.  Not only does that mean you can charge your gadgets on your way to work, but you can also do it in an eco-friendly manner.  It offers a steady 5-volts of electricity to the adapter at a 70% rate of efficiency.  To learn just how to pull off this charger you can read through the details on Instructables .

Solar gadgets are usually a little more on the practical side.  This one doesn’t even serve a real purpose like the solar garden lights.  Instead, it’s purely decorative, but that’s plenty good enough.  It’s a great modern twist for those that enjoy stained glass hanging in their windows. When it is bright outside the lamp will shrink up and allow for sunlight to stream through it.  Then after dark it will bloom into a snowflake pattern and show off the LED lights.  Morning Glory was designed by Wendy Legro, who is graduating from The Netherland’s Design Academy of Eindhoven.  That sadly means that this hasn’t been created just yet for mass production.  At least so far it’s still a concept design, it’s possible it’ll eventually become more though.

When you’re drilling into the wall, it’s bound to make a little bit of a mess.  It’s not a big deal if you’re drilling holes out in the garage, but when you’re doing them inside the house it usually forces you to clean.  Instead of cleaning up the mess after you’re finished, just make sure that the mess never spreads to all of your funiture.  This small device collects all of the dust before it has a chance to make a mess. You just attach this directly to the wall that you happen to be drilling.  Then if you’ve managed to create too much dust for the little collector to hold, you can detach it from the wall to empty it.  Then it can easily be attached once again.  Although they don’t exactly mention how it attaches to the wall while it’s vacuuming up all that dust.  In order to keep it up and running you’ll just need to pop in the 2 included AA batteries.  You can purchase it for $19.95 through Buy Karcher .

It’s been a very long time since I’ve filled up water balloons, but I definitely haven’t forgotten the many times they’ve busted while still attached to the hose or faucet.  Now there’s a tool to make the filling and tying process a whole lot easier and faster.  Which means you won’t have quite so many water balloons wasted before they’ve been tossed at your opponents. Within 10 minutes time you can fill up to 100 water balloons, which means you’ll be doused in water even sooner than usual.  It’s just a small attachment that can hook up to your garden hose, the sink or even a spigot.  It comes with 2 different sink adapters.  It has a built-in table clamp for when you’re using the garden hose and a quick knot tying arm.  You can pick one up for $9.99 through Overton’s

Having birds in the garden might be something folks want as their general chirpiness is perfect to perk up your day, but it comes with a downside – they tend to poop all over the place, and their number one target would be your newly washed car. Instead of getting a cat, why not settle for the Solar Powered Bird Repeller ?

There are a great deal of solar lights that go down with the plants and make your garden look that much better.   Well instead of sprucing up your plants, you can add a little mood lighting to your deck or porch.  This could even be used indoors, you’d just have to make sure it stays close to a window to get the full charge it needs to run.  It’s not your usual solar lamp that you find in someone’s garden, which is exactly what makes it so appealing. In order for this to cast the pretty scroll design onto your tabletop, it’ll need to soak up the sun through the solar panel located on the top.  After it has reached a full charge though, it’ll give you light for up to 8 hours.  You don’t have to let it stay on all the time either like a lot of other solar lights.  This one comes with an on/off switch, so that you can choose when to use up that charge.  You can purchase the lights individually for £24.99 or about $39.
