This is the bit where I open my gift from Stephen.

I know – we’re all full of mince pies, overdosed on turkey, and ever so slightly drunk for the 5th day in a row! But there’s something that needs doing! Its the opening of the last present under the tree! It looks ever so lonely there, discarded from the family presents, this “invader” from a person that I have never met needs dealing with.

 

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THAT BOX!

 

Here goes!

I rip open the wrappings to discover a clever little gadget…

It’s a Duronic Apex Digital solar powered radio with torch and wind up back up!!

41NxUgnWfRL._SL500_

WOW!!

It’s almost the perfect gadget -

When I need to listen to the football, but I have no batteries I’m in!

No, sun?

Use the CRANK!

No lights?

Use the torch!

Thank you Stephen at http://www.gizmophobe.co.uk and www.moneysupermarket.com!

Have a great New Year and Thank You!
