Till now the impression and expectation from a portable speaker is that you go for hiking, you setup basecamp and then you bring out the gadgets from the rucksack. But Philips plan to change it all, they want you to listen to your favorite songs while you are at climbing that cliff face , just like Tom cruise in MI. The rugged Philips Shoqbox ($180) is a roughly tube-shaped speaker and features two 4-watt neodymium speaker drivers, dual bass radiators, an eight-hour rechargeable lithium battery, Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming, a water resistant cover to protect the USB charging port and 3.5mm aux jack, a shock- and splash-proof design, and a built-in metal loop for clipping it to your bag or belt using a carabiner.

This is something I have been looking for or atleast thinking that something of this kind should be there .The most painful part about barbecuing is that you need an elaborate setup for burning charcoal and then deal with the initial smoke till the charcoal is red hot. But the traditional charcoal taste is something one yearns for while grilling with best grills. For the taste of a traditional grill without the need to go outdoors please get the Element Indoor Smokeless BBQ ($225) . This unique cooking system uses a gas or electric stove element to heat a bed of lava rocks, creating the flavor of a traditional grill without the smoke or charcoal dust. Other features include a specific section for catching grease — making for easy cleanup — an adjustable grill height, and a removable handle

Ray-Ban is stepping up the innovation with these Ray-Ban Folding Aviator Sunglasses ($195). Available in a variety of frame and lens combinations, they collapse down to fit neatly into the included carrying case, leaving more room in your bag for other things. And hopefully there would not be an imitation copy on the market for some time for these ones , so you can be rest assured you are original.

I have been thinking of something like this for a long time now, and finally spotted this. The Rinser Brush ($22) is an ingenious toothbrush that sports a built-in scoop which funnels water to a small hole on the top, creating an instant fountain for rinsing out your mouth. Features include a button to control the fountain, a no-nonsense design, and GreenerStep Snap replacement heads to ensure that the brush stays useful way after its first bristles are shot.
