Yurbuds Inspire Pro
€70
If you’re always on the hunt for that perfect pair of earbuds – ones that won’t fall out of your ears at the slightest movement, ones that will stay put whether you’re undertaking punishing exercise or lolling about on the sofa – check out Yurbuds. The silicon earbuds twist and lock into place in your ears, but don’t put pressure on any part of your ear, so they can be worn comfortably for hours.
iPhone users can use the dry mic to make calls, and there are volume controls that work for calls as well as music. The company has even received the stamp of approval form the Ironman contest for its range – high praise indeed.

Carrying your USB key around just got easier – well, if you are in the habit of wearing cufflinks, that is. These discreet 2GB flash drives multitask, storing your documents while also keeping your shirt cuffs secure.
Although they’re a little more expensive than you would normally pay for 4GB of storage, these are rhodium plated and would easily pass for a standard set of cufflinks. Most importantly, they allow you to keep your important documents within arm’s reach at all times – surely worth paying a bit extra for.

Fisher-Price Laugh Learn Apptivity case
€17
iPhones are fascinating to lots of people. But babies and toddlers, in particular, seem attracted to the smartphones, something that can result in expensive accidents. Now Fisher Price has come up with a case that could save your iPhone while also allowing your child to use baby-focused apps. The sturdy case has textured handles to allow babies to grip the device easily, with beads and a mirror to make it a little more “baby appropriate”.
Most importantly, it will keep baby drool out of your iPhone, neatly sidestepping any water damage issues, and prevent any accidental calls at awkward moments. The Laugh Learn apps are free on the App Store too.
