Keep the Beep Egg along with the rest of the eggs in the refrigerator so that the device records their temperature. Now when you boil them, the device would keep a check on the temperature, and give you warning signals in two separate settings. Accordingly, when the eggs become soft boiled, the song ‘Killing Me Softly’ starts playing. And when the eggs become hard boiled, the song ‘CarminaBurana’ starts playing. This way, you would never have to worry about digging into undone or overcooked eggs. The LED Colored Egg Light Forget about the painstaking task of painting several eggs for the egg hunting game next Easter. These LED colored egg lights would be perfect just perfect for the game. Compact and bright, the egg lights are available in the colors of red, green, blue and yellow. They come in a groups of 4s (one for each color), and can be perfect for these egg hunting games.

Top five cellphone accessories you don’t necessarily have to buy

The first thing most of us do after buying a cell phone is shop for accessories to keep our prized gadget safe. And without even realizing it, we tend to spend huge amounts of money on these so called accessories when we can actually opt for cheaper and equally sturdy alternatives. Here are five cell phone accessories deemed necessary for your phone, which can be made at home itself, thereby saving you big bucks in the process. 2383978_120919185533_378969_100921162245_6_set_iphone_4_screen_protector Car Docks If you own a cell phone and a car, then one of the first accessories you would opt for would be a car dock where you can safely place your phone in while driving. Most phones also come with navigation options that would need you to keep them in these docks while driving in order to look for directions. However, most car docks are quite expensive. As an alternative, you can make your own car dock with just some binder clips or rubber bands. Beats paying loads of money to buy a new car dock or keeping your phone in a cup holder as you drive around. Screen Protectors Most smartphones come with touch screens that can easily develop scratches and smudges with constant use. And opting for a screen protector every once in a while can become an expensive option. Alternatively, you can make your own screen protector at home. Just buy a piece of cheap vinyl, measure the dimensions of your smartphone screen, and cut them out on the vinyl using a knife. Carefully position the piece over the screen to get your very own homemade screen protector. Rubber Cases Cellphones usually have glossy finishes which would make them a bit slippery to handle. Which is why many individuals opt for rubber cases. Rubber cases can be expensive though. And as an effective substitute, you can use a product that can actually give a rubbery texture to your cell phone (the back). Called Plasti Dip, the product can be applied to the back of your cellphone to give it a rubbery feel. This way, you can have a better grip on the cell phone and eliminate the need of a rubber case or cover for the same. Portable Speakers If you want high quality sound, you would probably have to opt for expensive iPod docks (the cheaper ones are not worth it). As an alternative, you can choose to boost the volume without hampering the sound quality, by simply choosing to place your cell phone in a cereal bowl or a paper cup. You can also use paper cups or wooden blocks to make your very own portable speaker which would offer amazing sound quality when compared to cheap iPod docks. Headphones with Remote Controls It is very rare (and expensive) to find a headphone that combines high quality sound with a fully functional in built microphone remote control. Added to this is the phone compatibility wherein one set of headphones would not work with any other device. So the best way to get what you want and not spend too much money on it is to splice an existing headphone and remote control, hack the headphones to work for other cell phones (in case of Android phones) or just convert the existing remote control headphone to an adapter. Either way, you would get superb sound quality along with awesome microphone and remote control functionality.

The advent of smart phone has made many individuals texting addicts. From stores, roads, parks and restaurants to even the bathroom, these texting addicts would always be on the phone, texting someone or the other. Keeping them in mind, a few inventors have come up with some really crazy texting gadgets, the most popular of which are given below. iphone-cup-holder-case-1 Touch Screen Gloves Say goodbye to stiff, frozen fingers that would usually result from countless minutes of nonstop texting.

The gloves are also scratch proof which means your smartphone would not be damaged when you use them. Brolly Texting Umbrella The perfect excuse to keep on texting even if it rains cats and dogs! Forget the days of running for cover when it rained, or desperately trying to cover your smartphone from the rain. The Brolly Texting Umbrella would help you hold an umbrella and text your friends at the same time. The gadget comes with a finger grip handle that is soft and rubbery. The handle minimizes the need for you to hold the umbrella at all. All the umbrella needs is the loop of your fingers to remain poised above your head. What’s more, it would not harm your smartphone in any way. The Mobile Visor Find it really annoying to notice someone peeping over your shoulder when you text someone? Well then, the best way to shoo them away would be to use a gadget called the Mobile Visor. The gadget needs to be clipped on to the smartphone and comes with a telescopic neck and a set of well-tuned eyeballs that can easily penetrate small sized LCD screens even from a distance. The eyeballs and the telescopic neck are the only things that peeping toms would get to see if they try sneaking into your texts from behind you. The Textminator Want to show everyone how fast you can text? Then opt for a Textiminator, an arcade like box with a small keypad that would give you several texting challenges to choose from. You can play in the single player mode and race against time, typing whatever the box asks you to type within a stipulated time frame. Or you can invite your friends for a two-player challenge to find out who is the fastest at thumbing. Practice well here and you can definitely sharpen your texting skills on a smartphone! Built-in Cup Holder Case Holding a drink and texting cannot be done at the same time. Or so we thought until we came across the Built-in Cup Holder iPhone Case. Priced between $25 and $30, the gadget is for those who can’t do without coffee and texting. The gadget comes with a pop-out holder which allows you to hold your drink as you text on your smartphone. This way, you can move about when you text without worrying about not having to carry along your drink with you.
