Six of the best: SIX MULTITASKING GADGETS


We all love gadgets that can perform two tasks simultaneously. We select six of the best multitaskers you shouldn't be without Updated Classic - Swan Teasmade STM100N2 - pounds 59.99 from www.lakeland.co.uk As a nation with a tea-drinking habit such as ours, it's no surprise that in their heyday these gadgets lived in more than two million UK homes.


Slice Some Soldiers - Tefal Toast n Egg - pounds 37.99 from www.sainsburys.co.uk Multi-talented toasters can usually only boast about the different thickness and variants of bread they can toast or warm, but this one looks over at them with a big grin on its face. The Tefal can take on thick and thin slices of bread, croissants or bagels and toast them to perfection, plus at the same time it'll poach an egg for you, or boil one if you'd rather.Much more compact that its predecessor, this unit can brew up to four cups and, in addition to the important alarm function, has a handy reading light too. We await the internet-enabled version eagerly.Water music - H2O-powered Shower Radio - pounds 34.99 from www.firebox.com This clever box of tricks is here to replace those woeful in-shower radios, which have batteries that last no time at all. Your running water runs through this FM radio's micro turbine as you loofah and, in turn, this charges the internal battery. Saves cash, gets you clean and updates you on the weather - it's everything you've ever needed.Write And Record - Spy Pen Video Camera - pounds 49.99 from www.iwantoneofthose.com You don't need to put yourself in harm's way to experience the thrills of being an undercover agent - just grab yourself one of these Bond-esque ballpoint pens. Hidden inside is a camera and video recorder, both of which offer pretty decent quality, and it can also record sounds via a tiny built-in microphone. You can load it with up to an hour's worth of surveillance before slotting into your USB drive and sipping a shaken not stirred Martini.Fortune Finders - Treasure-seeking Sandals - pounds 39.95 from www.gadgets.co.uk With these sandals you can keep your feet away from the heat of the sand plus seek out small change as you wander down the beach, potentially uncovering a larger haul. These sandals are mildly ridiculous, but strap them on and they've the ability to seek out metal up to two-feet underfoot.
