Newman’s Own

02 May

Just a quick recommendation this morning because we’re really busy with another project here at Ooer.

It’s coming up to the summer so we’re all eating healthy salads and lovely barbeques. The very thought makes us hungry. If you’re on the look out for an exciting condiment to try then keep your eyes peeled for the Newman’s Own brand. Started in 1982 by the actor Paul Newman, it’s a range of really tasty sauces and dressings that’s not just good for your figure but good for humanity too. It’s run as a non-profit organisation – all the profit from the goods goes to charity causes around the world. So far they’ve raised more than $280,000,000. That makes it taste even nicer.

Newman’s Own brand is stocked in most major supermarkets. We buy ours at Asda.

Heart Shaped Umbrella

01 May

It’s fast approaching the summer, so hopefully the rain will be a thing of the past for a few months. The realists, cynical as they are, here in the Ooer office know that’s not likely to be true though.

This umbrella is ideal for keeping dry in the English weather. It’s well made, from a brilliant designer, and it’s available in a range of funky colours. More than that though, it’s heart shape. How brilliant is that?

The heart umbrella is $60 from Art Lebedev.

Jawbone Icon

01 May

Mobile phone bluetooth headsets are a bit of a nerdy accessory. While they’re clearly very useful they do have a tendancy to make you look like Nathan Barley (remember him?). They’re just not very stylish. They’re functional. That’s unfortunate.

But wait! We’ve found one that’s not something made from dull black plastic that makes you look like an extra from a sci-fi movie. The Jawbone Icon bluetooth headset is chic and cool. It’s a brilliant little gadget too; it’ll that will work with any bluetooth phone, has noise-canceling cleverness, and comes with 7 different size ear pieces so it’ll always fit perfectly.

The Jawbone Icon bluetooth headset is £69.99 from Carphone Warehouse.

Annique Ginger Tea

30 Apr

We’re set for a pretty intense weekend here at Ooer Towers. We’re off to the single launch of The Vaudeville Class’ new single (we’ll be reviewing that here afterwards), we’ll probably be out again on Saturday, and then there’s a Kiss gig on Sunday. Yikes.

To stave of the perils of alcohol poisoning we’ve got ourselves some delicious detoxifying ginger tea. Ginger is amazing stuff – it’s naturally good for the digestive system, it contains all manner of vitamins and things, and on top of that it tastes fab. We think we’re going to need it.

You can get your Annique Ginger Tea directly from AnniqueUK for £3.55.

Karlsson Big Time Clock

29 Apr

Being a bit creative around the Ooer office isn’t anything new. We’re always coming up with wild and crazy design ideas. They often don’t work out quite as well as we might hope, but that’s the charm of the place. It’s unique. It’s quaint and homely. It’s ours.

One idea that we had recently was to design a clock for a rather bare wall. Now, actually making a working clock is well beyond what we could ever manage, but this rather classic design from Karlsson fixes that easily. It’s just the hands. You mount the clock hands on the wall, then you’re free to put whatever ideas you like behind them to mark the numbers and the time. It’s a smashing idea. Your clock, your way. Drop us a comment to let us know what you come up with.

The Karlsson Big Time clock comes in a few different sizes, and in either black or silver. We went for the large 76cm one in black for £24.18.

Ferrari California

29 Apr

Sometimes at Ooer we like to pretend we’re millionaires and think about what we’d buy given close to unlimited funds. Invariably we start off with the wardrobes full of designer labels, holidays in the Caribbean, sparkly jewelry, and dinners in fancy posh restaurants. We like to consider what sort of car we’d drive as well though.

Today’s dream automobile is a Ferrari California. We haven’t even bothered to find the price because we know it’s more than we’ll ever be able to afford, but just look at it. It’s beautiful. The long sweeping bonnet, curving sides, and the, well, sexy backend all come together in a car that’s ever so pretty. It’s ‘only’ a V8 so it might not be as powerful as the rest of the Ferrari range, but we don’t care about that. You don’t drive a car like that to go fast. You drive it to go slowly and be seen. We want to be seen in a California.

You can buy one from a Ferrari dealer for eleventy bazillion pounds. We’ll stick to the bus. *pout*

Crywolf Sweet Tooth Buttons

28 Apr

This takes us back a bit. Buttons! Badges to those of us in the UK. We wore loads of them when we were kids.

These button badges from Canadian indie retailer Crywolf are very sweet. Literally. They’re cute representations of sweets and lollies. To pick out and highlight a corner of your outfit they perfect. They’ll look great on a satchel too. We love the cupcake.

Find them at Crywolf’s site: Sweet Tooth Buttons ($5CAD)
