Unusual household gadgets for 2009

This New Year will bring the usual host of new innovations and inventions, in technology and in the home. The year 2009 promises to be an even more inventive one than usual, with a new tech-savvy President in the White House and improvements in communications across the board.

But what does this mean for your home?
Well, try out the new Slouchpod: a new chair based on a bean bag, which means super comfy, fitted with an inbuilt speaker system so you can play your favourite tunes without leaving the comfort of your seat. It even has a 10Watt RMS sub-woofer. Its perfect for gamers, movie watchers or just chilling at home.
For a more surreal experience, try the new LED Faucet Light, which turns the water coming from your taps a translucent blue. The glow is activated when water flows through a special chamber. Now you can brush your teeth in the dark.
A USB Powered Mini Vacuum Cleaner is exactly what every home office needs. Clean out those cookie crumbs trapped in your key board or scare the cat off it, with this little vacuum cleaner which plugs into any standard USB port.
And then, just what youve always wanted: a bubblegum dispenser right in your own home. This nifty gadget comes framed in its own post-modernist chrome frame and dispenses that gum when you need it most. And you dont even need any pennies at hand.
If you are planning on owning one of these gadgets, then visit the store online today, and then make sure you get them insured with your other gadgets under your home insurance policy.
Its a sure bet that any housebreaker will want to run off with your shiny new glow-in-the-dark faucet, and certainly your comfy Slouchpod, so contact your home insurance provider and get covered.
