The 24 Days of Christmas – Day 14

As we all know, Christmas is fast approaching and as we all also know, many of you will be struggling to think of interesting gift ideas for your nearest and dearest. ‘What shall we buy to show our love?!’ we hear you cry. Well, fear not, for we at the Fold know that sometimes, thinking beyond the usual DVD boxsets/smellies/Xbox games can be a little difficult, and so over the course of December we endeavour to bring you a new gift idea each day on the run-up to Christmas, totalling 24, and with each one we shall also bring you an accompanying song that somehow represents the gift in some way. ‘Gift ideas and related entertainment?!’ we hear you now crying! ‘How on Earth do they manage it?!’

Day #14 – Freeloader Pro

Technology as we all know is becoming more and more advanced and subsequently, more taxing on the battery life. There’s nothing worse (okay, famine) than having that classic tune fade into obscurity just before the drop – leaving you bouncing around aimlessly like a deaf chimp. Well never again! Grab the Freeloader Pro, attach the relevant adapter and look for the sun.

Here is a little overview:

Freeloader Pro is the ultimate solar charger capable of powering virtually every electrical device, anywhere in the world, whether on a beach, a mountain, jungle or the Polar ice cap.

Freeloader Pro uses its high power solar panels or USB (cable supplied) to quickly charge its internal battery (7 – 9 hours in sunny conditions). Once fully charged Freeloader Pro is capable of delivering enough power to give a mobile phone 70 hours of standby time, 5000 page turns on an eBook or a 100% full charge for a digital camera battery.

Also by switching its Multi voltage switch to “9.5v” Freeloader Pro is capable of charging power hungry, high voltage devices such as MP4 players, portable DVD players and SLR camera batteries.
The metallic push button “Power Halo” indicates how much power is in Freeloader Pro’s battery.

Made in tough aluminium and finished in a stylish “piano” black, Freeloader Pro is the perfect companion for adventure travellers, journalists, explorers, expeditions, the armed forces and anyone who demands the best!

For those intrigued; you can pick it up right here.

And for your viewing pleasure today, Missy, Nicole Wray and Mc Solaar. Remember this one? Zig Zag Zig Zag….

Day #12 – Beats Tour In-Ear Headphones

We all need love a bit of music in our lives. Dr Dre says why not make that life a bit more sonic?

Here’s the details.

The Beats Tour in-ear headphones by Dr. Dre boast newly developed speaker technology to reproduce clear natural vocals, detailed highs and deep powerful bass without distortion. Wired with high-performance Monster Cable, they sound superb and are designed to stay completely tangle-free.

Features:

No more knots with tangle-free cable design.
Precision response thanks to low mass, wide bandwidth driver.
Sound-isolating eartips in multiple sizes provide a perfect fit to seal out noise.
Duraflex protective cable jacket for maximum tangle resistance and durability.
MicroStrand conductors to extend frequency response.
Patented magnetic FluxTube for more natural audio reproduction.
24K gold contacts that ensure maximum signal transfer and corrosion resistance.
Rugged protective case for superior protection.

Dre’s Beats Headphone range boasts an army of celebrity endorsements and positive reviews. Dre’s latest offering, the Beat’s Tour In-Ear headphones have a unique ribbon wire that make them impossible to tangle. Saving you precious minutes that could be filled with some rather glorious Aftermath beats – or something with a bit more weight. The price has been bumped up due to the name attached but the sound quality is rivalled only by the high-end audio products.

This is the perfect gift for that peroxide yappy friend of yours or a nice little treat to see you through the winter months.

You can buy them here for £119.95. But I would suggest heading to a certain online auction site where they sell for half the price.

Go pick up a pair, plug them in and press play.

The 24 Days of Christmas – Day 3

As we all know, Christmas is fast approaching and as we all also know, many of you will be struggling to think of interesting gift ideas for your nearest and dearest. ‘What shall we buy to show our love?!’ we hear you cry. Well, fear not, for we at the Fold know that sometimes, thinking beyond the usual DVD boxsets/smellies/Xbox games can be a little difficult, and so over the course of December we endeavour to bring you a new gift idea each day on the run-up to Christmas, totalling 24, and with each one we shall also bring you an accompanying song that somehow represents the gift in some way. ‘Gift ideas and related entertainment?!’ we hear you now crying! ‘How on Earth do they manage it?!’

Some would say that Tarantino could do no wrong in the nineties. He had subtle sarcy prose down to a tee, an army of talented actors and actresses at his disposal and a soft spot for nihilism. Consequently, that writing would help reignite two dwindling stars. Stinker’s aside, we have to give him credit where credit is due. Okay, so he had a thing for beret’s that quite clearly didn’t work with that bonce, but we could forgive him when his stories consistently entertained.

You have got Christmas around the corner and a friend who quite likes his beret and meta-fiction. He’s trying to be the shepherd, so why don’t you give him a little present to reflect that.

The Bad Mother Fu**er Wallet

Here’s the description (yeah I know its pretty windy- here’s mine: brown leather wallet with swears on it)

Are you a very bad man? Do you want people to think/know this? Perhaps you get your kicks from ‘doing jobs’, ‘taking people out’ and ‘escaping the pigs’…

Then look no further because the Bad Mother Fucker Wallet is where to keep your doubtless ill-gotten gains. (But if you read that last sentence and thought, “Hmmm, that’s me: I regularly wash the car, take my mum down the shops and really love playing hide and seek with hogs”, then this ain’t the product for you, bad boy.)

This finely crafted 100% leather item (NOT leather composite or synthetic leather like a lot of BMF wallets out there) with long-lasting etched wording pays homage to that super-cool cinema icon, Jules from Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Samuel L Jackson’s ruthless character had the arsenal and arse-kicking attributes to be worthy of such a cataclysmic catchphrase, and now you can follow in his dubious footsteps with a replica of his beloved dollar depository.

So pop this mother in your pocket next time you swagger down the shops and, while the uniformed girl’s swiping your bread and milk through the till, repeat after us: “And I WILL strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee”…

It won’t get you any Nectar points, but she’s sure to remember you.

It goes without saying that we do not encourage nor endorse any bad-arse behaviour. That just wouldn’t cut it with many people today. Really.

At £13.95 its a reasonable price for a bit of cult memorabilia.
