The ingenious Airship is a huge eight metre long sleeve made from a thin black plastic film (like the stuff bin liners are made of) & is simply filled with air when you are ready to fly. To describe the Airship as solar powered is technically true although perhaps a bit misleading. There are no solar panels but it presumably works by absorbing heat from the sun through the black skin, heating the air inside which makes the Airship rise. It is incredible to have something so big hovering up to 50 metres above you, & even possibly slightly unnerving, but as it weighs next to nothing it is completely harmless. Easily repairable if damaged, & re-useable. Excellent entertainment value. Does not require Helium! ...

We love our Sound Asleep Pillow so much, when we saw this all-encompassing blanket version we just had to share it with you! When the weather turns chilly listen to your favourite music in snuggly comfort: this soft, luxury fleece blanket features a hooded section within which are secured a pair of speakers.

Soothe yourself to sleep with this amazing invention! The special pillow has a built in speaker (which can't be felt through the pillow) to connect (via a 3.5mm jack) to any music source such as Ipod, mp 3 player, CD player etc. The volume can then be adjusted so the snoozing music lover can listen to their favourite lullabies without disturbing anyone sleeping, even right next to them, & with no need for headphones. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it! The Sound Asleep pillow could potentially help insomniacs or act as an alarm clock that doesn't wake sleeping partners. (Music device not included). ...
