Nava Time Ora watch by Denis Guidone

Simple, but very distinctive - that's the Nava Time Ora watch collection.

Simple because it's your everyday watch, available in a choice of colours for the digits, hands and strap. But that 'cut' at the side gives it a little twist on your everyday timepiece, just like the similar clock, also by Denis Guidone.

The strap is leather, the case stainless steel and the movement is a Japanese-made Miyota 2035. Price? £135.

Brush Robot at the Science Museum

Looking for something useful to do over the Easter weekend? You could always build a Brush Robot.

Available at the Science Museum, this really is what it says - a self-assembly kit to make your own robot buddy and full time cleaner, complete with moving eyes and your very own pain job. Just slap in 2xAAA batteries and you're away.

Cheap enough too at £15.

Eye Clock at Third Drawer Down

Want to really confuse your sozzled, early morning brain? Get an Eye Clock.

Firstly, it doesn't have an alarm (at least, one isn't mentioned), nor does it have numbers of hands. Instead it has eyes - which move according to the time of day. So if the left eye is looking somewhere near the 9 and the right eye glancing to where the 3 is, you can guess it's around 9:15.

If you've a laid back lifestyle, it's the clock for you. If you happen to be a go-getter, it's not. $40 is the price either way.

ASUS Eee PC 1008P Seashell - Karim Rashid edition

If you want to make a splash down the local internet cafe, forget the black or white, go for the brown or pink, courtesy of the ASUS Eee PC 1008P Seashell - Karim Rashid edition.

Yes, the noted interior and industrial designer has done a makeover on ASUS' skinny netbook, offering that texture-like cover in two colourways, both available with matching accessories - although they will cost you a bit more.

He's not done anything with the inside though - an Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB memory, 250GB hard drive, Windows 7 starter and up to six hours of battery life using ASUS' Super Hybrid Engine technology. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth too, as you would expect. Price? Around £350 - £400.

Block Toaster by Piero Russi for Trabo

A very stylish look for a fairly mundane kitchen object - the Block Toaster by Piero Russi for Trabo.

In black ABS and with an industrial look, the Block is more than a pretty face, offering up both a traditional pop up and an electronic timer, as well as a stop/cancel function and a removable crumb tray.

Check the wiring for your region before you order, but if you decide it's for you, 49 Euros secures one.
