Soft Kitty Singing Plush

 

If you’re a fan of the “Big Bang Theory” television comedy, you’re already familiar with “Soft Kitty”. Now you can have your own Soft Kitty Singing Plush toy. Next time you’re sick and in need of some tender loving care, what’s better than having your own Soft Kitty to soothe and comfort you, just like when Penny first learned to sing “Soft Kitty” to Sheldon. Don’t remember, here’s a clip of that memorable episode …

With your own Soft Kitty Singing Plush, just press the front left paw and it will sing a verse of “Soft Kitty” for you. And it never gets tired, it will sing over and over again if you like.

Here’s the Soft Kitty Verse

Soft kitty, warm kitty
Little ball of fur
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty
Purr purr purr

Motorola Digital Baby  Monitor

 

We’ve featured baby monitors in the past at Mint Gadgets, but there are so many advancements in wireless and streaming video technology including a host of expanded functionality available in the latest baby monitors, we want to bring you up to date. The Motorola Digital Baby Monitor is a perfect example of the improvements and new features you’ll find in today’s baby monitors.

If you’re new parents or you want to upgrade your existing baby monitor device, the latest baby monitor products make this a perfect time to jump in. Baby Monitors are all about providing the reassurance that your baby is resting comfortably without having to jump up and check on your baby every fifteen minutes. After all, you need to get some rest too!

You’ll be impressed with the design of the Motorola Digital Baby Monitor and all the useful features and functions this advanced baby monitor offers. First, the Motorola MBP33 Digital Baby Monitor is equipped with 2.4GHz FHSS technology to improve the audio capability and provide the clearest sound possible. The 2.4GHz FHSS technology is vastly improved, more reliable wireless technology compared to the previous 900MHz systems.

And how about 2-way remote communication that lets you talk or sing to your baby remotely. You can also use the two-way audio to speak with a partner in the room. Now that’s pretty helpful! The monitor also has 5 LEDs that display the level of sound activity in your baby’s room. This gives you an additional quick “at a glance” view of what’s going on with your baby.

Security is important too. With the wireless devices in your home, that last thing you want to do is start broadcasting a real-time video feed of your baby all over the neighborhood. The Motorola Digital Baby Monitor employs full data encryption to keep your wireless baby monitor signals completely private and secure.

If you have a larger home, you’ll also appreciate the the Motorola MBP33 monitor’s 200 meter range. That’s almost 2 football fields in length, plenty of range for even the largest home. And if that’s not enough distance, the monitor is also equipped with an “out of range” warning so you can move around the house or outside yard and never be concerned that you might be missing or losing the monitor signal.

The Motorola Digital Baby Monitor has a room temperature sensor that displays the temperature in your baby’s room on the monitor’s LCD display. Now it’s easy to check at a glance if it might be too hot or too cold in your child’s room. And the digital baby monitor can also take still digital pictures and that come in handy as well.

Parents really love the the polyphonic audio playback that can play five built-in lullabies to help lull your baby to  sleep. Look, no one is saying you can replace mom’s soothing lullabies, but what if mom doesn’t always feel like singing? Dad’s definitely appreciate the built-in lullabies when mom is trying to get some sleep herself. Pretty cool, don’t you think?

With the Motorola Digital Baby Monitor you’ll be making the best choice to conveniently, easily and securely monitor your baby, the ideal baby monitor solution parents and caregivers.

SpyNet Laser Trip Wire

 

Seeing valuable property protected with a network of laser beams in movies is a familiar sight. How nice if that were an affordable reality! Even as kids, lasers were merely fantasies which we adopted in our play to liven things up. Until now! With the SpyNet Laser Trip Wire, you can have peace of mind knowing that your valuables are safely guarded with a reliable security system.

Each SpyNet Laser Trip Wire set comes packaged with a four base unit that is able to protect the area enclosed by a class one laser. The class one laser is detected by the Receiver Unit, creating a string of light. Anything that tries to make its way across it will sound the alarm.

Obviously, one laser beam is not enough to offer sufficient protection. You can use the mirror units to redirect the receiver unit while forming a perimeter around the object you wish to protect. You may set up multiple SpyNet Laser Trip Wire sets to strengthen your security system.

OK, let’s come clean. The SpyNet Laser Trip Wire is not exactly a commercial grade security device, more of a kid’s toy. But it’s for real and actually works. Yes, you can actually deploy this inexpensive security device in a real security protection application.

The SpyNet Laser Trip Wire – For Your Entertainment

Each kit comes with an instruction manual so you don’t have to worry too much about setting it up. It has simple instructions that allow you to get the job done in no time. SpyNet Laser Trip Wire runs on 6 AAA batteries. However, these batteries do not come packaged with your kit; you’ll have to purchase them separately.

SpyNet Laser Trip Wire is ideal for protecting small areas such as bedrooms, precious artifacts that you like to display at odd corners of your home or that huge yummy Toblerone you have been saving for a rainy day.

The Toddler’s Soapbox Derby

The Toddler's Soapbox Derby

 

It is a bright and sunny Sunday morning where you are out jogging in the park when a blurry object suddenly zooms by in front of you and stops a few feet from the main path. Shifting your attention to the object, you spot a lady picking up a grinning toddler and fussing over him.

Every toddler deserves some fun and exercise before they are placed into the cruel society to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, nowadays, many toddlers are spoilt with their parent’s iPhone or iPads. They might not know how to play it, but the curious nature of the toddler certainly attracts them to these technological apparatuses. Fortunately, Hammacher Schlemmer’s Soapbox Derby kids gadget – priced at $149.95, is here to save the little one’s day!

The Toddler’s Soapbox Derby consists of a platform and a gently inclined 6-foot track. To play, a ride-on coupe can be placed onto the platform while the toddler ascends a sturdy step up the platform. Upon mounting the coupe, toddlers will be able to zoom down the ramp for an adrenaline filled ride across the room or an open field. In addition to that, toddlers can also pit their miniature race cars against each other by launching them down the ramp or even slide down the ramp without the coupe for a variety of fun.

The Soapbox Derby is in fact, very compact and can be easily transportable as each section can be removed and cleaned separately before fitting into the base, which comes with an integrated set of wheels.
