The Teddy Speaker has arrived to brighten up your bedroom or desktop with its psychedelic demeanour. It’s just perfect for the big kid who doesn’t want to sully their house or office with yet another sterile techno-cube of noise. There’s nothing worse than trying to nod off when your ears are stuffed with uncomfortable headphones and the Teddy Speaker is perfect for those of us who just can’t drift off without some soothing sounds lulling them into a soft slumber. It will happily sit on your bedside table without ruining the bedroom’s mojo because it looks just like any other teddy bear. The speakers have been tucked away in the bear’s feet and the battery pack is cleverly hidden inside the teddy so you’ll barely even notice that this loveable bear houses a great sounding sound system for your MP3 player.
Price : £ 12.99

Cult Film 
This box-office hit from 1969 is an important pioneer of the American independent cinema movement, and a generational touchstone to boot. Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper play hippie motorcyclists crossing the Southwest and encountering a crazy quilt of good and bad people. Jack Nicholson turns up in a significant role as an attorney who joins their quest for awhile and articulates society’s problem with freedom as Fonda’s and Hopper’s characters embody it. Hopper directed, essentially bringing the no-frills filmmaking methods of legendary, drive-in movie producer Roger Corman (The Little Shop of Horrors) to a serious feature for the mainstream. The film can’t help but look a bit dated now (a psychedelic sequence toward the end particularly doesn’t hold up well) but it retains its original power, sense of daring and epochal impact. — Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
