Every once in a while, some new gadget comes along that is so obvious that you have to wonder why someone else didn’t invent it.

The NDrive G400 PND is one such device. At first, the NDrive G400 looks like any other Personal Navigation Device. It has a 3.5 inch screen that is completely touch-friendly, along with the usual application menu of a GPS.

What makes the G400 stand out is that one of the applications is a breathalyzer test. That’s right, a device that helps you drive can actually recommend that you don’t drive. All you need to is touch the application, wait for it to calibrate, and then literally blow into the device itself.

Draft beer in your own home is most beer drinkers’ preferred way of having their pint (no tinny taste from the can). Krups are now about to launch in the USA the BeerTender which delivers a crisp, fresh perfectly chilled draft beer which will stay fresh for upto 30 days. The unit has been engineered to work exclusively with Heineken and Heineken Premium Light DraftKegs.

The BeerTender is simple to set up and operate, and you have a choice of chill temperature settings depending on your preference. It also has a display which tells you how much you have left, and how long you have before you need to re-stock. It’s the perfect thing to have when you’re having a summer BBQ or a bit of a gathering (which we seem to do rather too often, particularly when we decide to have a poker night!)

Ah, with the holiday season upon us yet again, many people will be celebrating it with some drinks to make the occasion all the more merry. The Shot Caller targets thrill seekers who love getting smashed at parties, functioning as a timer for those who want to indulge themselves in the Power Hour ritual. For those who are out of the loop, Power Hour requires a person to take one shot of beer, each minute for the whole hour - that amounts to approximately five beers. A loud buzzer from the Shot Caller lets you know it is time to gulp yet another shop, keeping track of the time gap. I suppose after having too many shots, even a stopwatch in your hand is useless, hence the need for this $15 device.

This is a great gadget for the lazy cocktail lover, the professional Electric Martini Maker.

The ultimate in convenience and class, this commercial-quality martini maker allows for effortlessly preparing a martini at home. The unit’s polished stainless-steel 20-ounce cocktail shaker features a built-in strainer, while its touchpad ensures easy operation. Simply add favorite martini ingredients using the 1-ounce shaker cap, turn the appliance on and watch the green olive light up, press Shake or Stir, and voila–a timeless cocktail is made.

Almost every geek and gaming enthusiast has always desired to have their very own arcade cabinet. Admit it, you know this to be true. However, there are several problems that generally arise which prevent you from reaching this goal: space, money and a spouse. Granted, not all spouses will be opposed to the idea, however, that usually seems to be the case. While I can’t help you with the issue of money, here’s an idea that might help with the others. Get an arcade cabinet that combines more than one household device. In this case, a kegerator.

I don’t normally see the point of buying a tiny iPod and then sticking it in a massive case, but the bevy is different, not only does it protect your iPod Shuffle it can also open bottles of beer.

Have you got an iPod Shuffle? Do you drink beer? Do you use keys? If the answer is yes to all three, then you need the Bevy. This ingenious sliver of sturdy plastic and bottle top-biting metal functions as an iPod Shuffle case, a bottle opener and a keyring. Talk about multi-tasking!

If, like many people, you don’t have the luxury of having a cellar in which to store your precious bottles of vintage wine, there is now a solution.

Spiral Cellars can come into your home and excavate a hole directly under your floor (be it in the kitchen, lounge, garage, or any other ground floor room) in which you can store upto 1,600 bottles of wine down a spiral stairway cellar system. The stairway is a watertight, pre-cast cylindrical system which is installed into said excavated hole. They use the earth as a natural insulator and they use an air-flow system meaning no power is needed. This ensures optimum temperatures can be maintained in order to keep your precious vino in tip top condition.

Spiral Cellars will send round an engineer to ensure you’re not trying to put in a cellar through your property’s water pipes and carry out a full assessment of the suitability of the cellar you have chosen.

Dimensions for the Mini Cellar start at 1.35m deep (holding upto 650 bottles) to the Spiral Cellar going upto 3.00m deep (holding upto 1,600 bottles). Check out
