Captured inside the Sun and Moon Jars are a highly efficient solar cell, a rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps. When the jar is placed in direct sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar.

 

The light is diffused by the frosted jar and give the appearance of sunlight emitting from the sun or a cool moon glow (warm colored LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light). You may have noticed that there is no switch on the Sun Jar – in fact there are no visible controls at all – but there is a clever light sensor inside that automatically activates the LEDs when it gets dark or the lights are turned out! (There is an override switch inside the lid to turn off the light at night and conserve battery life.)

Mason jars are not only beautiful but by their very nature they are water tight – so the Sun Jar can happily be left outside in any weather conditions. A perfect garden light or night light for a childs bedroom. The Sun Jar needs DIRECT sunshine to work! Leave the Sun Jar outside or in a sunny window in direct sunlight for several hours to charge, (electric light indoors is not bright enough!). The Sun and Moon Jars use a standard AA rechargeable battery, which is replaceable.

Go look!

The other day, eSquared announced 15% off all products, and I blogged about it and then decided to contact the powers and ask them to organise some photographs online of the toys specifically as a number of people asked me about them.

After patiently waiting, I was sent a link to an eSquared Flickr set, with a collection of photographs of the eSquared Toys, so without delaying anymore, here are some pics :)

Head on over to eSquared Fashion and get your Christmas shopping sorted!

eSquared stores in Cape Town and Durban are celebrating the arrival of brand new stock by giving all eSquared members a 15% discount on stock. This means that you can get 15% off t-shirts, belts, caps, bags, ceramics, kimonos and local designer goodies!

This week will see the shelves of eSquared filled with new t-shirts, toys and accessories. On top of this, they are showing off some of the new stock tomorrow night at 20h30 at Panama Room in Stanford Hill Rd in Durban, so if you are in the area, make sure you head down to have a look!

I know some of the guys involved and they will all go to great lengths to make sure that this is a rocking event – give your support!

This morning I arrived at work and was graced, happily, with the arrival of the Threadless T-shirt I ordered a couple weeks ago. I was starting to get a little worried that the tee had been lost in the post, clearly not.

The quality of the tee is wonderful and the print is of high quality. I ordered a size small, which was a perfect choice! The packing is nothing like Oddica’s packaging, but that’s not overly important in my opinion. They did include a couple stickers, which I will use happily.

So, ye, all in all I’m very happy that the tee arrived and very happy with the quality!

After reading a blog post written by Mark about ‘A lesson in e-commerce‘, I decided I would order something from Oddica.com, which is the company we purchased some tees from very successfully. I headed on over and had a look through the catalogue, but unfortunately all the designs which caught my eye were either sold out or in the wrong sizes. This is understandable as they have just had a massive sale, so I guess I will wait until new stock arrives.

After failing at my first attempt, I headed over to Threadless to have a look at their range and I managed to find a wicked tee. Threadless and Oddica are both extremely user friendly and placing an order takes a matter of minutes. My order arrives in 5-10days, so once it arrives, I will blog about the experience with Threadless, hopefully it’ll be as great at Marks experience.

 

Asos, one of my favourite fashion distributors are havin an up to 75% off sale. From Jerseys to Tees to Hoodies to Jackets, there’s something for everyone. Asos are continually offering fantastic specials on stylish clothing, and this sale seems to be one of the best thus far.

 

Head on over and take a look at their fantastic new range, as well as all the stuff which is currently on sale.
