 Stylish bamboo speaker A speaker that does away with dangling, unsightly wires is definitely a good move in our book.
This slimline bluetooth speaker ticks the wireless box, but also brings with it a great design too.
The speaker is encased in distinctive bamboo wood and looks sleek and stylish. It works up to 10m away and can be recharged.
What’s more, the brilliant bamboo bluetooth speaker is currently half price in the sale at Cox and Cox.
There are lots more bargains to be had in their sale, which runs until Sun 28th October. If you’ve not looked at their site for a while, we recommend a browse, as its sporting a fresh new re-design.

 Hide your TV in a tank Looking for a way to hide or disguise your TV? How about a TV concealing aquarium?
This clever design innovation enables a TV to be completely hidden from view at the click of a button.
At first, the TV is above the fish tank, but when you’ve watched enough and don’t want your TV on display, it slides down into a hidden cavity in the tank, so you can instead enjoy the peaceful view of swimming fish.
The TV concealing aquarium was created by inventor and furniture designer, David Free, from the company Picture House and it’s an unusual piece of TV furniture that offers a new slant on TV disguises.
The tank is available to order in three different finishes and a choice of 16 colours. Most sizes of TV can be accommodated by the tank and, as well the TV hiding mechanism, there are three other concealed equipment storage spaces – one for hiding the filter, one for home cinema equipment and a third for general storage purposes.
If you want to see the tank in action, there’s one on display at Romsey World of Water in Hampshire.

 Musical pillow Has anyone tried one of these wireless iMusic pillows? I’m highly tempted to give it a go!
As someone who sometimes has to resort to sticking in headphones and listening to music to drown out certain noise at night, it’s not always the most comfortable way of drifting off to sleep. The earplugs can be uncomfortable lying on your side, and I invariably wake up tangled up with cables.
So this iMusic pillow sounds like the perfect solution. The pillow offers all the benefits of an MP3 player, without the hassle of wires and earplugs. It works wirelessly and has an inbuilt speaker in the pillow, so that you can listen discretely and comfortably.
It can even transpit audio from a TV, so you can watch your favourite TV show in bed, with the sound coming from your pillow rather than the TV set.
It all sounds very clever. If you want to try it out too, the iMusic wireless pillow costs £29.99 from I Want One of Those.

 Orla Kiely DAB radio
The classic multicolour stem print, by designer Orla Kiely, works effectively across so many different products, including mugs, cushions, bath mats and duvet covers. Amazingly, it looks right at home on this DAB radio, too.
The PURE Evoke Mio DAB radio has been emblazoned by Orla Kiely’s signature stem petal motif, giving it a modern retro feel. The radio can pick up numerous DAB stations, as well as FM radio, plus it has a USB port and can be used with an iPod, MiniDisc or portable music player.
If this is radio of choice for your kitchen, then there’s also a useful timer alarm function, that could be used as a kitchen timer. If you’d like music to accompany you as you move around your home, then the radio runs on a rechargeable batterty, or it could of course just be plugged in and left in one place.
The Orla Kiely PURE Evoke Mio DAB radio is available to purchase from John Lewis, where it’s priced at £149.

 Funky transparent phone Ever wished you could see what’s going on inside your telephone? When you’re making calls, or waiting for the phone to ring, this funky telephone allows you to peek inside at its inner workings.
The transparent telephone is a reconditioned and refurbished 746 model. Originally used in telephone exchanges, there are now less than 100 of these phones available, or so say Pedlars.
The phone has been refurbished inside and out and is fully compatible with modern BT phone services – all you need to do is plug it in and you’re away.
To get your hands on a reconditioned transparent 746 telephone, head over to Pedlars, where they’re available for £145.

 Leather Park Lane TV bed A leather bed is the ultimate in luxury and this one, from Furniture Village, has the added bonus of also having a 26″ HD LCD TV built into it.
The flat screen TV is in the foot of the bedstead and there’s space provided to house a DVD player too, with connections for a SCART and two HDMi cables. All the cables and wires are cleverly hidden beneath the slatted beech wooden base, so you won’t be faced by wires as you get in and out of bed.
The double leather TV bed is available in a range of five colours, including this lovely pale cream shade. The usual Furniture Village price for the Park Lane TV Bed is £4795, but if you buy it now, it’s only £2595.
