Eye Fi SD Adapter

I sometimes get sick of not being able to share my images between devices because each one takes a different size USB cable, I mean, it’s not like they are universal.

With the Eye Fi SD Card and adapter, all you really need is a USB port and you are good to go. The adapter enables your camera to connect wirelessly with desktop and enables you to geo-tag hi resolution images as you shoot.

Sagaform has designed a trio of herb pots where you can grow 3 different herbs at once. Made from stoneware, the pot has 3 hollows where you can plant herbs, vegetables or even small flowers to brighten up your kitchen. There is a small opening on the one side of the pot to make watering simple and quick. Sagaform has a single and a duo version of the same stoneware posts available as part of the range.

The Sagaform Herb Trio is out of stock on Amazon.com, but the single and duo versions are still available.

PlasmaCars Run On Kid Power

PlasmaCars are powered by the kids riding on them so they require no batteries, no motors to send them speeding out of control and no dangerous electrical parts. They can carry up to 220lbs or 100kg, so kids can double up and they also come with a 6 month warranty.

Plasmacars can be purchased through Amazon for $57.70

DIY Glow In The Dark Pathway Edgings

I’ve seen on a few websites little rocks that you scatter along your pathway, these rocks glow in the dark and light up when the sun goes down after charging all through the day in the sun. They seemed like a really great idea, and they looked awfully pretty too but then I would look at the price and, well, they stopped looking so pretty after that. They can cost anything from $8.28 for 35 stones from Club Earth or $18.95 for 100 pieces from Alpine, and that’s not including postage! This less pricey project will cost you around $9.13 for a 7 ounce tin of paint from Rustoleum and the rocks are free! Assuming you have a sponge paintbrush hanging around, other wise they will set you back about $7.23 for a pack of 25 at Amazon.com.  This tutorial from Remodelista will help you figure out how to get Moon Rocks without the expense.
