With thousands of students heading off for the first time or returning to Uni this Autumn, First Luggage have developed a rather useful service set to take the stress out of the whole affair.
Student’s often take their worldly possessions on a train, plane or in a car which is not much fun (from experience) I have to say. The service is aptly named ‘Smarter Students’ and is a student friendly (in terms of budget), hassle-free door-to-door collection service operating within the UK as well as internationally. Prices start at just £20.
The service also ensures everything arrives in one piece! From computers to cutlery First Luggage will ensure it gets to the final destination without a hitch.
If the above news isn’t enough to convince you then First Luggage was recently recognized as one of the top 10 most promising businesses in the UK (at the coveted nationwide ‘Start Up Stars Awards’) and has already gained support from Dannii Minogue and official ambassadors in glamorous Joan Collins, socialite and journalist Normandie Keith and British travel veteran Alan Whicker, media personality Piers Morgan. Say no more!
This innovative Duracell mini charger has recently picked up an award for the 2008 battery product of the year award. Obscure I know but a fantastic achievement all the same.
It charges anything from your battery operated shaver to your electric eyelash curlers, and it’s small, so it’s perfect take away on holiday!
It comes with rechargeable batteries, and allows you to recharge them over and over. It plugs straight into the wall and charges up two AA or AAA batteries.
The best bit is that it’s only £9.99 so will pay for itself in no time!
How often is it that we forget to take a phone charger on holiday and we’re stranded when the battery fails. Mobile phones are more than just a gadget to keep your friends posted on your shenanigans… when travelling they are crucial to your safety and alerting people to potential dangerous situations.
Here’s a little gadget called the Juicebar which is a highly affordable safety net at £2.99. It’s infact the world’s slimmest disposable mobile phone charger that can recharge a completely flat mobile phone battery in around 60 minutes, giving you up to 60 minutes of talk time and 480 minutes standby.
Just plug a Juicebar into your phone, and charging will start. You can even use your phone whilst it is charging.
Juicebar is available for Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola and Blackberry phone brands with an LG product available soon.
If you’ve got young kids you know just how hard it is to get them to relax on a plane flight! You look around to scowls and piercing eyes of fellow passengers but there really isn’t much you can do about it… unless you have a Jungle Cushion that is!
The latest creation from Flutterbies.net this pillow is the perfect distraction to take offs and landings as well as the boring bit inbetween!
On the outside it has an attractive yellow and orange lion face. Designed as a pillow but also a toy, as there is a secret inside. Open up the cushion and you will be transported to a magical jungle. With a forest backdrop and animal soft toys, the cushion/playset makes it an ideal distraction for flying or long journeys. It is also washable (very handy for cabin sickness!)

Sleeping in a foreign bed… in the blistering heat and perhaps with a little sunburn or even heatstroke is never easy at the best of times. I’m talking about those fabulous summer holidays if you haven’t already guessed.
Thanks to a little invention called The Chillow, sleep is now a truly relaxing state of mind. The Chillow is a cooling pad that you place on top of your existing pillow to lower body temperature and stop you getting too hot in the night. It is non-toxic and hypoallergenic and has a soft foam core that absorbs water to activate it. It’s around 2cm thick and is incredibly lightweight so perfect for traveling.
