Are you sick of smart phones already? Well, I am not, so bear with me as we go through another review of the latest smart phone on the block – the LG Marquee. Like most other smart phones, it gives you the capability to surf the Internet, navigate around unfamiliar surroundings and all sorts of other fancy stuff. Of course, the question on your mind would probably be – how does the LG Marquee compare to other smart phones already on the market? Read on to find out if it is worth investing in yet another smart phone.

Like I mentioned earlier, the LG Marquee is definitely a lot like other smart phone’s of its ilk. You can do so much with your phone now that I won’t really go into the details of what this smart phone can do for you. However, it does come with Nova screen technology which means that you won’t have to squint at the screen while out in bright sunlight. I am sure that you would definitely have been in such situations before and found it annoying. I tested it by bringing it out to the garden at 12:00 noon and trust me, it works and it does make it a lot easier to use the LG Marquee anywhere you go.

It is slim, fashionable and sleek plus it works well in sunlight. What is there to hate about the LG Marquee? There is nothing bad about it actually. If it is your first time looking into purchasing a smart phone, make it the LG Marquee which is a good introduction.

Sibling Tricycle

 

No need for your two children to quarrel over who gets to ride the new tricycle now! Perhaps the argument on who gets to do the actual cycling may remain… but anyway, this Sibling Tricycle is designed with two seats, allowing two children to ride it at a time. Equipped with adjustable handlebars for the driver and handles as well as foot rest for the passenger at the back, the Sibling Tricycle is the perfect two-in-one tricycle for your kids to play with.

The tricycle features a 14-gauge steel tubular frame with two 9″ rubber wheels at the rear, built for stability and good traction on roads, sidewalks, and playground asphalt. Both driver and passenger seats are fully adjustable for your growing children and spring-cushioned for extra comfort in case of bumpy roads.

The Sibling Tricycle even has a 10″ x 12″ x 8″ wooden cargo box behind the passenger seat, ideal for your kids to store their toys and play date items as they cycle around your garden or the playground. With such a useful little box, maybe you can even send them out on errands and grocery-shopping and they will happily do it for you.

The tricycle can support two children for a total of 150 pounds and is recommended for children aged 2 and a half to 5 years old. The tricycle must be assembled manually and is priced at a total of $299.95.

It is almost that time of the year when ghouls roam the earth and witches fly on broomsticks. If you have no earthly clue what I am talking about, this gadget might not be the one for you. However, if you already have planned out what your costume will be and how to decorate your house come 31st October, and then you will simply love the Prelit Halloween Tree.

You know how Halloween is always associated with the colour orange? I think it’s all the pumpkins that have gotten to everyone’s heads. Anyway, the Prelit Halloween Tree has 240 orange colored LEDs which will definitely lend a Halloween air to your house. All you have to do is position it wherever you want to in your garden and put the plug in and you are good to go.

If you’re worried how it will withstand weather conditions, don’t be because the Prelit Halloween Tree is of weatherproof metal and has a stand which gives it stability all the time. It is 6.5 feet tall so you are pretty sure that it will tower above most things. You can purchase the Prelit Halloween Tree at $249.99 which is a small price to pay for the most beautiful house on the block come Halloween.

Also, the lights can go for up to 25,000 hours so you can expect many, many years of mystical mayhem with the Prelit Halloween Tree. There is no time like the present if you are already thinking of your Halloween decorations and this will add to your repertoire indeed.

10-Foot Macbeth’s Witches

10-Foot Macbeth's Witches

 

Standing over a bubbling cauldron at 10 foot tall and with two other sisters at 6′ 9″ and 6′ 1″ each, the three witches from Shakespeare’s play Macbeth will certainly make a great scare for kids trick-or-treating during Halloween. I, for one, wouldn’t want to walk straight into them alone in the dark the same way I don’t want to see mannequins come alive.

Here, the centre witch of the Weird Sisters as seen in Shakespeare’s play beckons to her sisters with outstretched arms. The three of them sport tattered robes and have expressions of total evil on their faces, made complete with beady, ominous eyes, pointed noses and snaggleteeth. The play’s most famous line “Double, Double Toil and Trouble!” is written on the burning cauldron with its green poisonous-looking brew spilling out as well.

The 10-Foot Macbeth’s Witches is an inflatable decoration that screams for attention eerily in the dark with its six integrated 7-watt light bulbs. Passer-bys will no doubt stop and stare, and is made out of strong, lightweight terylene for durability. If you are wondering, terylene is a durable polyester material used to make nautical sails. It even has an electric fan for continuous inflation and eerie fun in the dark, and can be easily inflated within three minutes. These 10-Foot Macbeth’s Witches weigh 14 pounds in total and are priced at $329.95, including tethers and stakes to secure it well.

Pick up the triad to spice up your garden and watch the kids scream in fright on Halloween night.
