The Wallet Ninja | Now that's handy...

If you’re getting ready for University this summer we’ve got some really useful gadgets that’ll not only make your life a whole bunch easier, they won’t break the bank either. Here are our Top 5 gadgets for students

First up at No.5 is the Wallet Ninja, a nifty bit of kit that transforms you wallet into a well equipped multi task tool that makes your old Swiss Army Knife look, well... naff. With no less than eighteen really useful tools, the Wallet Ninja slips easily into your wallet and comes jam-packed with: four screwdrivers, six handy hex nuts & bolts spanner, a bottle opener, box cutter, ruler, phone stand, letter opener and there’s even a veg’ peeler...Made of tough-as-you-like heat treated steel that will never chip, rust, or bend this fantastic multi tool is TSA approved too so there’ll be no embarrassing incidents at airport security either.

Our No. 4 Top gadget for students is a simple, but effective Door Tag.  Door labels might not be the sexiest thing to pack for Uni’, but when you’re away from home it’s a good idea to put your stamp on your room as soon as possible. These handy door tags are 12cm wide and come with strong double-sided sticky tape that makes them quick and easy to fix. Once you’ve bagged your student room, you can personalise it with a cute message or your name and make it your home in no time.  They’re also brilliant for popping onto the kitchen cupboard door and marking out your zone there too, but we can’t guarantee you won’t get your pasta pinched. 

The Handy Ideas No.3 ticks all the boxes for us. The T-Shirt Folder is: useful, a whole lot of fun and really good value too...  Why? Well, let’s face it, folding and ironing isn’t top of the student priority list, so anything that makes doing the laundry less of a chore at university is going to make life easier. 

So how does it work It's as easy as 1. 2. 3;

1. Pick out a crumpled shirt
2. Toss it into the middle of the shirt folder
3. A few flips and you're done 

Oh, and by the way, as an extra bonus, why not turn the T-Shirt Folder into a fun-packed student party game? See how fast you can fold a T-Shirt. The winner does the washing up...

The runner at No.2 is quite simply the best pen in the world. Your average biro has one function, you guessed it, to write with, but the Gadget Pen is not as boring as a biro and has no less than six handy functions. Your Grandad might have called it a DIY Pen because it’s got a built-in pair of screwdrivers, a ruler and a spirit level too, but this one works just well as a stylus pen for your tablet, or Smartphone too so we’re sticking with Gadget Pen.  Oh, and by the way, before we move onto our winner, the pen writes beautifully, which makes six handy functions...

The Gadget Pen | Not as boring as your average biro...

The Luna Chair | Luminescence par excellence

The Handy Ideas Top Gadget for Students and our No. 1 for this year is the Starlite Luna Inflatable Chair.  Away at university it’s important to create your own space and to put your own mark on your student house and boy is this a fun-packed way to do just that. Blow up your Luna chair with the pump supplied and your ready to impress.  Well, if you think sitting illuminating in a chair that flashes and fades in thirteen colours is impressive that is? Not only is the Luna Chair easy to control with its own remote control, its surprisingly comfortable too.  When your housemates come into your room the first thing they’ll notice is its mesmerising glow.  It’s jaw-dropping. They just won’t be able to take their eyes off it. The Starlite Luna Chair is so easy to blow up, deflate and pack away too and it’s a ton of fun whether you want to liven up your Student Room, sit chilling with your X-Box obsessed after a hard day of lectures, or glow in the dark while camping at the festivals.

Writing for Business | Thanks for the Christmas Jumper Switzerland...

As popular today as they ever were... 

Switzerland has given the World many wonderful things. Those little knives the Swiss Army use in battle, the 1960s woollies that kept skiers warm in the snow and Muesli. Which one is best? Well, you decide...

Up to 85 tools

First supplied to the Swiss Army in 1891 this elaborate cutlery originally had only four gadgets tucked away in its wooden barrel:  A blade, screwdriver, can opener and a punch. The original knives were used by officers and were known as the Swiss Officers Knife. Shortened to the "Swiss Army Knife" by the Americans after the second World War today there's one with a ludicrous eighty five tools.

What do Bill Crosby, Chevy Chase, Alan Partridge and Colin Firth have in common?  Yes, you guessed it...

Four ways to have fun with an "I'm a Twat" mug...

What a surprise...

It was twenty years ago now that my old boss shouted,

'Has anyone seen my mug'.  Then, belted out across a crowed office, came the bosses reply:

'It's the one with twat on it'

Let's face it, we all know one and wouldn't it be great if you could just tell 'em how you really felt? The problem is though, you can't just come out and say it, not really, it's just not nice. Then again, whoever they are, they do need to know.

Here's a few ways you can insult those you love to hate....
