Digital shower Grohtherm Wireless

Sorry, you can't surf and shower with this. What the Digital Shower Groththerm Wireless does is let you preset--by remote control--the temperature for your next bath, besides customizing different settings for the rest of the family. Which is a really nice convenience to have, if you happen to have US$1,376 lying around somewhere. Just make sure the remote's beyond junior's reach. Else you're likely to get a rude awakening quicker than you can say wireless be damned.

Ice Rocks

Anyone for prepackaged ice cubes made with premium spring water? Bottled water appears to have gone the way of beauty products, selling the idea rather than the product--at a premium naturally (pun intended). So if you fancy ice cubes that claim to make your drink that much purer, if it isn't already, Ice Rocks come in freeze-ready liquid form that's hermetically sealed in recyclable containers. Though for something that pure, this apparently stores for two years. Hmm…

Ice Jacket

Remember Mr Freeze, Gotham City's supervillain who dons a suit that keeps his body temperature below freezing and enhances his strength? Well, the Ice Jacket is a bit like that, cloaking your favorite tipple in a jacket of ice. If nothing else, it's a great ice breaker at parties. The process sounds simple enough. Just place the bottle on the base of the Ice Jacket, slip on the sleeve, and close the three cam locks. Then fill the assembly with warm water, plug and place in the freezer. After that, run briefly under water to release the cam locks and sleeve. And there you have it, an iced-encased bottle. Or perhaps the start of a subzero degree party at home? Apparently, the Ice Jacket is no gimmick. Drinkers say the drinkability of white alcohols greatly increases as the temperature drops. Well, bottoms up to that as you chill out with a bottle.

Hotpod floating spa

Fancy your own hottub floating paradise? Hotpod has a nice one here. You get to swim and you get to spa at the same time, which is what R&R should be all about. The Hotpod looks easy enough to set up. According to the literature, you only have to connect the suction and intake hose of the pool. The pod then takes water right from your pool heater and pumps it through six hydro-engineered jets. Meanwhile, it's cosy enough for up to four adults without having to sit on each other's laps (unless so desired). The only catch: It's doubtful any of the public or condominium pools here in Asia will let you connect this to the pool's heater. Shucks.
