Tracer Deluxe Stylus

We at The Amazing Blog are all frustrated writers, made up of ex-journalists and wannabe wordsmiths. And while in this day and age the vast majority of our writing takes place in a digital format - either on lap tops, iPads or whichever phone we happen to possess, there's something rather nice about about putting a good old fashioned pen to paper and writing away.

Thankfully, we've come across the fabulous new Tracer Deluxe Stylus, which allows us to combine our passion for writing with the joys of modern technology. Made from the people at STM, the Sydney-based company who are known for creating stylish and secure digital accessories, they have certainly struck gold with their latest product. The first of its kind, the Tracey Deluxe Stylus is both a touch screen stylus that can be used on tablets and touch screen phones as well as a two colour pen perfect for taking notes. The soft and durable rubber tip will not scratch your screen and it allows you to accurately draw and type with ease.

Particularly handy for this cold weather when gloves are worn and touch screen phones become near impossible to use, the Tracer Delux Stylus is the perfect accessory for both the technology savvy and those in need of a stylish new pen! Available online and from selected retailers which can be found here.

Giant Sparrows

Everywhere you look it seems everyone has the same phone. And to make it worse, the exact same phone case. But here at The Amazing Blog we’ve found a way for you to stand out from the crowd: Giant Sparrows phone cases. Inspired by works of art these cases protect your phone and show off your individuality! Founders and artists Tine and Christa have created a phone-case designing heaven on the Giant Sparrows website, with simple steps to create a phone case just as quirky and stylish as you.

I’m going to admit something now. It’s an addiction that not many people know about. Everyone at The Amazing Blog has told me I should go to the doctor. The addiction is Game of Thrones. Some of you may know the HBO series, and some of you won’t (which is unacceptable). So I’ve read all the books, I’m watching the second season, I have dreams about Daenerys Targaryen, my ringtone is the Game of Thrones theme and I made the writer for the show sign an illustration I had drawn myself (not kidding, I have proof). And that’s where Giant Sparrows comes in, their personalised iPhone and Blackberry cases help you stand out and indulge any addiction.

If you are an iPhone 3 or 4 user, the owner of an iPod Touch 4^th Generation or a BlackBerry Curve or Bold addict, you’re one of the lucky ones able to order a case that will make your phone the envy of your friends. There’s a catalogue to choose pictures and you can also upload your own artwork, amazing, isn't it? Scroll through their website to create your own case and show off your style!

And you don’t even need to ask. Of course, my case is a personalised Game of Thrones case. "Winter is coming..."

CrystalDock

Recently I’ve been confronted with the dreaded situation…‘What do you buy the friend who has everything?!” Normally I like to think I’m pretty nifty at finding the latest must-have makeup item, book, accessory or piece of jewellery however I’ve been racking my brain for days and can’t think of anything that my friend won’t  a. already have b. dismissed because ‘everyone has one.’  That was until I came across CalypsoCrystal’s CrystalDock. Handcrafted and handmade in Europe from pure lead crystal, the CrystalDock is undoubtedly the most luxurious and eye-catching way to recharge and synchronise your iPhone and iPod devices (not to mention most envied and admired office desk accessory). Each dock is manually cut and polished and fitted with specially designed dock connectors to perfectly fit your iPhone or iPod. The added lead makes the crystal docks remarkably heavy whilst the intricate cutting and polishing makes the crystal sparkle.

The CrystalDocks are available in four unique designs - from the classic, signature style of the “Aurora” (which is limited edition and hand-painted with Platinum!), to the stylish “Beau”, elegant “Celestia” and young and sporty “Dune.” For an added touch (or extra brownie points if your boss is the lucky recipient) you can also engrave onto the CrystalDock with a name or corporate logo.

CalypsoCrystal products are sold online via their website and selected department stores from £169.
