Sanyo’s HNV-M70 ALBO space age digital frame

Sanyo_space

There are plenty of digital frames on the market, but none as stylish as the Sanyo HNV-M70 ALBO digital frame.

Packing those 70s-style space age looks, this 7-inch frame has Wi-Fi connectivity (so it can pick up images from online photo sites), as well as 256MB of internal storage, a card reader (so you can transfer your images from a camera easily) and an email, should you want to keep up with your correspondence or email images to friends and family. There’s even a media player, should you want to add a bit of music.

The one downside is availability – Japan only right now, selling for the equivalent of £220.

Offside – the table football coffee table

Offside

Looking to liven up the TV ad breaks? You need the Offside coffee table.

As the name suggests, this is a coffee table…with table football. Yes, beneath that solid oak and glass structure is a fully-functioning footie table, complete with  wooden players, goals, scoreboard, steel handles and a mirrored pitch. Just drop in the ball and you’re away.

And when the TV livens up again, it’s back as a coffee table, with plenty of surface area for your food, drinks and magazines. Not the cheapest coffee table you’ll see at £1,495, but certainly the most fun.
