Grown-Up Girls' Gadgets
Sponsored by SONY BRAVIA B-Series
Forget boys toys, the latest trend is girly gizmos. Did you know women spend three times more on gadgets than cosmetics? We've trawled the net to find tech treats for the ladies.
1. Dare to be different
Ever wished your TV was more colour co-ordinated to fit into your interior style? Or that you could pick it up and take it next door without any hassle? Sony has stretched the boundaries of traditional TV design with their latest decor-friendly creation, the portable Sony BRAVIA B-Series LCD TV, which comes in 20-inch and 23-inch models in pretty pearly white or glossy mocha. Virtual Dolby Surround, BBE ViVa audio signal processing and the Bravia engine means the surround sound and vivid image quality is scarily life-like. The convenient handgrip and all-in-one design means there's no separate stand to bother with when you move it around your pad. Forget nights out with the girls - invite them over to watch videos so you can smugly show off your HD Ready BRAVIA LCD TV.
2. Vintage tech
Cutting edge technology meets vintage design with this Washed roses Roberts radio (£200) from yummy mummy classic Cath Kidston. It boasts PausePlus meaning you can put your radio on hold while you pop out to do the shopping. And you can 'rewind' if you missed the weather report or want to dance (again) to your favorite track. Music to our ears.
3. Whip up a storm in a coffee cup
Fed up of paying for overpriced cappuccinos, then why not bring a touch of Starbucks to your kitchen with this aerolate milk frother (£15) from John Lewis. Never has making a latte been easier, simply heat up the milk add the frother and away you go, the aerolatte does all the hard work for you. Impress your girlfriends with barrista style skills.
4. Master chef
Follow the example of mothers and grandmothers worldwide and invest in a chrome Magimix 4200 (£199) from The Conran Shop. Be it for baby purées or slicing vegetables, this whizzer does it all. The 3-in-1 food processor has a quiet induction motor, sabatier blade and handy extras like a citrus press and egg whisk. Guaranteed for 12 years. Mother knows best.
5. Snap happy
Get a camera that works without the bore of fiddling with a zillion settings. The simple and sexy Casio Exilim ex s10 digital camera (£171.80) from Amazon fits into the back pocket of the tightest skinny jeans - and is fool-proof to use. Best of all, it comes with snazzy YouTube software making it easier to shoot videos, upload and share. Hen nights, baby's first steps? Just point and squirt.
6. Feminine film buff
Watch girlie movies like Sex and the City and Audrey Hepburn classics on this Sony pink portable DVD player (£119.95) from Amazon. It's the ideal companion for long train journeys. Who needs a man?
7. Foot the bill
Love the spa but hate the prices? Then it is time you bring the Champney's foot spa (£59.99)from The House of Fraser to the comfort of your own home. Why not kick your shoes off at the end of the day and indulge yourself with the additional accessories of dry heel reducer, stone pumice, finishing pumice, nail brush and nail buffer. We can guarantee that your feet will feel 100% refreshed.
