Sock MonKeys

Leigh — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:26:04 +0000

I have loved Fred products for so long! I will have one of each please. I just wish it was easier to get things here in Australia.

Yesterday while in a Wild store for work I came across these sock monKeys and just HAD to have them (note to self, it is probably best not to *squee* in front of clients) I had the old style monKeys which were great. They have a big range of other “keys” cooKeys and more.

Other than bits and pieces in random gift stores, I am not sure where else stocks Fred..anyone got any tips? I did find this eBay store than had a good range of products.

Noble’s Pureau pure water & and a giveaway!

rah — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:41:06 +0000

Thanks to Noble Pureau, That’s Noice has 5 SIGG water bottles worth $42 each to giveaway!

Have you seen Noble’s Pureau purified water at your local supermarket? I have to confess that I didn’t really understand the difference between what I filter at home and store-bought purified water.

Noble’s Pureau is the only Australian water that is 100% guaranteed to be completely free of all impurities including chlorine, bacteria, sodium (salt), fluoride, pesticides and other inorganic minerals.

The “Pureau Process” features a unique three-stage filtration method that removes all impurities present in water – one of the most advanced water filtration systems in the world.

The Noble website has a bunch of information about the benefits of truly purified water as well as the environmental impact of their packaging. They even have a blog, which always wins this nerd’s little heart

Alrighty, I know you want to know how to get your paws on one of these great SIGG drink bottles! These 750ml bottles are courtesy of our friends at Noble’s Pureau AND ARE FANTASTIC. I’ve been test driving the SIGG bottles over the last week or so and they are seriously great. They’re worth around $42 each!

To be in the running to win one of these beauties, just send an email to hello@thatsnoice.com, answering this question:

“What do you think is the best benefit of Noble’s Pureau pure water?”

(Hint: check out the the Noble website!)

Sorry, available to Australian residents only. The 5 best answers will by chosen by Noble. Entries close 11.59pm on Sunday 15 November 2009.

Personalised Jewellery

Personalised necklaces, rings, bracelet and bangles. They would make a great gift idea coming up for Christmas for Mum, your sister, manpet..or yourself (you had better get in quick to order to insure delivery in time).

I have been looking around for a necklace myself for months, there are so many..it is hard to decide.

Here are a few great Aussie and OS Personalised jewellery designers and artists (all post to Australia) I have collected in my travels.

Choosing your miniature pet

rah — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:01:07 +0000

Leigh and I are big fans of miniature pets – especially miniature piggies.

The Guardian has published a gallery of pics of adorable miniature animals that would make great pets – and some that definitely wouldn’t.

NYAW!!!

C’mon, how could you resist a hedgehog that fits in an eggcup?! But I think I’ll pass on the croc…

Underpants for your hands

rah — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:36:39 +0000

Just when you thought the interwebs had run out of original ideas.

Meet Handerpants. Y-fronts for your mitts. Undies for your paws. Oh dear:

They could very well have practical applications, but LOOK AT THEM! Hillarious. And check out the video and photos on the Handerpants website. Good for a laugh, that’s for sure!

Orders are taken by Archie McPhee, and they’re not exactly easy to buy if you’re not in the States. But it looks like it CAN be done… you’d just have to be very keen to make the effort!

Disturbing floor rug

rah — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:58:12 +0000

This. Is. The Chrissy Skin Rug.

And I am so completly grossed out right now. Disturbing, yes?

It’s an artwork by Chrissy Conant, and if you go to that link you can read her thoughts on the creation and reasoning behind this. Basically, she laid on the floor and had a cast made of herself, becoming the basis of the finish product.

Maybe this is a new take on the bear-skin rug?? I’m just hoping that the trend doesn’t go mainstream.

It won’t, right??

I could thank my friend Amanda for bringing this disturbance into my life. Maybe not “thank”. Perhaps “acknowledge”. lol

Flickr Time capsule

Leigh — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:42:32 +0000

We take so many pictures these days, but how often do you get to go back and reminisce over them like you did in the olden days, when you’d drag out the dusty old photo album and boxes. I often enjoying taking a peek back over my old pics in Flickr.

Ever wondered what you were taking pics of this time last year? Well the folks at photojojo have made it easy with their new Photo time capsule.

I SO love this idea!!

Quick, easy and free to sign up and twice a month you will be sent a time capsule of flickr pics you took this time last year.

Check out my first time capsule *giggle*

Magnation – magazine superstore

rah — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:12:57 +0000

One of my favourite things to do in shopping centres is to go into the biggest newsagent I can find and check out the magazines. Places like Borders are great places for checking out the local and imported titles available.

Magnation has opened its first Sydney store recently and already has five other stores in Melbourne and Auckland. Looking at the photos on their site, these shops look like they’re being run by fans of magazines. Lots of space, lots of titles and even comfy chairs.

They also blog quite frequently – and with a lot more honesty than I would expect from a store. Read up on their difficulties before opening up the Sydney store and their regular My Top 5 Mags section.

The stand-out feature on the Magnation site, though, is the Magdentifier, a funky flash survey with a good sense of humour to identify some mags that you might be interested in. I was told to try reading New Yorker, Red, Frankie and Yen. I’ve only heard of two of those titles, so I have some research to do!

Give the Magdentifier a go and tell us what magazines they think you should read!

Pencil shavings in necklace form

rah — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:38:14 +0000

If I could justify spending $200 on a piece of silver jewellery, I would be buying this in a heartbeat:

I can’t quite explain why, but I’m head over heels in love with this necklace from Oye Modern, a Sydney-based online store for limited edition designer jewellery.

I discovered Oye Modern through Elizabeth of Scarlet Words.
