Friday Fun Find: Keyboard/Charging Dock

April 27th, 2012

Most of us sit behind a computer for a large portion of the day. And oftentimes there’s a phone lying next to it. The Omnio WOWkeys keyboard combines the two in a quite clever way. It’s basically a keyboard with an iPhone or iPod dock on the right side. It has a USB connection and will charge the phone while connected!  We love multitasking at eEvents!

Friday Fun Find: Crayola MyPhone and more…

April 20th, 2012

Kids love playing, but most of the time these days, the kind of games that they play are of the video variety. It is about time you helped them get out of the house and lose that pasty complexion, where running around in the park and rolling in grass should be made as a mandatory childhood experience – not to mention climbing trees and having hours of fun in a treehouse. Well, apart from playing, I have yet to find a normal child who loves colors – the more, the merrier. This is where Griffin and Crayola’s partnership looks set to bear plenty of fruit – in the form of the Crayola MyPhones, Color Clickers and Crayon Classics, where we shall take a closer look at all three right after the jump.

Friday Fun Find: Utensil Pot Clip

April 13th, 2012

I have discovered a new handy-dandy kitchen item, once again at SurLaTable.  They are called utensil pot clips and they obviate the need for spoon rests or the constant search for where you left that spoon! They just hook on to the pot and the spoon fits through the opening. They are available in a variety of colors!

Enjoy this Friday fun find from eEvents!
