Cyber Clean, a silly-putty-like slime that blots out the muck from every crevice of your keyboards with a grime-slapping antibacterial action. While compressed-air sprays and tiny brushes will just move the dirt around in your keyboards, telephones and other electrical gadgets, this devilish ooze will splurge into every tiny corner, swallow up dead skin, hair and food and absorb it back into itself. Because it's made from an unique antibacterial formula, the dirt is actually neutralised and sanitised while it's inside the putty - up to 80% of all germs can be destroyed in this way. Cyber Clean is available through Firebox and costs just £7.99.
The Uglydoll brand is very distinctive and if you get a chance to hear how the company began then visit their website, it is very romantic. We have spotted this very colourful cookie jar which would look good in any kitchen that has a sense of humour!
TUMTUM is an innovative UK company that offers a range of well-thought out tableware and cutlery for kids that make eating times so much easier for parents. Designed by parents the products are a result of totally fresh thinking that address common everyday problems such as food landing on the floor, kids chasing their dinner around the plate and general frustration from both parents and kids. We love all the products which we also should mention are bright, stylish and affordable. The trainee egg set is so clever with the egg cup built-in to the plate and the cutlery is longer and easier to use for kids. The curved plate with corners provides stopping points for difficult foods such as peas and overall the company has brought to the marketplace products which are not simply scaled down versions of adult tableware but products that are designed from start to finish with children in mind.

The Kitchen Bull from Australian business Toro Legno combines unique, playful design with practicality. Designed in the shape of a bull, with cute little horns the Kitchen Bull combines a miniature bookcase, knife holder and chopping board and we think it is a great piece to have in any kitchen.
