World Cup Soccer Player Thumbdrive
World Cup Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It’s mega-super-insanely popular everywhere but the United States. In the US it’s called soccer, everywhere else it’s football. Coincidence? Maybe. These really cute little World Cup soccer players are also USB flash drives. Using the ever-popular removable head format, just pop off the head and insert the body into your computer. Available in one of five countries: Italy, Portugal, Germany, The Netherlands, Croatia. Seems like a random selection of countries to me. Are these the likenesses of famous players? I have no idea. They definitely look like they’d be fun to mess around with, making one kick the disembodied head of the other. Each 1GB drive costs around $30 and is available via Rinkya.

Eco-Friendly Kettle
The Eco Kettle may look like a fairly standard piece of water-boiling apparatus, but it’s on the inside where this kettle really shines. Featuring a patented dual reservoir, you can fill the Eco Kettle to the rim and with a press of its measuring button, release only the number of cups you require into the boiling chamber – cutting down on your energy use.
Designed and developed by the UK’s Project Creation Ltd, the Eco Kettle is a great idea – especially for those who find their power conservation efforts thwarted by family members, housemates or partners.
Personally, I drink a lot of coffee and only boil enough water each time to make a cup. It makes sense. You use less power, plus it’s very quick. But when you share a kettle with people who like to keep it full, it creates a dilemma. You don’t want to boil the whole thing, but at the same time, you don’t want to pour the excess down the sink. The Eco Kettle solves this problem and makes consistent energy savings by making everybody in the household happy.
Including all the usual modern kettle features like boil-dry protection, steam control and a washable limescale filter – this 3kW cordless boiler is available with international delivery over at the Ethical Superstore for £30 | $50 | €35.
