If you’re a parent, you’ll know the daily struggle: soggy sandwiches, leaky bottles, and lunchboxes that barely survive a term. Enter b.box – a smart, kid-focused brand founded by two Australian mums with one mission in mind: to make parenting that little bit easier.
Now available in over 55 countries, b.box is winning over families with their practical, well-designed essentials that combine functionality, independence and fun. And if you’re looking for a better way to keep your child hydrated and well-fed throughout the school day, the b.box Tritan drink bottle and b.box lunchbox are absolute game changers.

Let’s talk about the b.box Tritan drink bottle (£19.99 from Amazon). First up, it doesn’t just look cool with its triangular design – that shape actually makes it easier for little hands to grip. Whether it’s being hauled around the playground or slotted into a schoolbag, it’s lightweight, durable, and most importantly: leakproof when closed. That means no more puddles in the bottom of the bag!
Key features:
Easy push-button lid and carry handle
Soft silicone straw for easy sipping
Protective base bumper absorbs drops and knocks
Made from ultra-tough Tritan™
Top rack dishwasher safe
It’s the kind of bottle you’ll only need to buy once – unless of course, you want one in every colour!
The b.box Lunchbox – Fresh, Flexible and Fuss-Free

Say goodbye to squashed sandwiches and hello to a fresh-packed lunch that actually survives the school day. The b.box lunchbox (£19.99 from Amazon) is an absolute revelation – designed with compartments that make sense for real food, not just dry crackers and grapes.
What sets it apart?
Customisable layout with sliding dividers
Room for a whole sandwich, bagel or wrap
Comes with a gel ice pack to keep food fresh
Whole fruit compartment with a flexible silicone lid
Leakproof design for yoghurts and even watermelon
Top rack dishwasher safe
It’s lunch prep made simple – and snack time made joyful.
Both the bottle and the lunchbox are designed with one thing in mind: making life easier for parents and more independent for kids. They’re tough enough to handle a tumble, smart enough to keep food fresh, and stylish enough that your kids will actually want to use them.
At £19.99 each, they’re not the cheapest options on the shelf – but when you factor in the clever design, durability and no-spill peace of mind, b.box products are well worth the investment.
Final Thoughts from The Gadget Man
I love a product that quietly solves a problem without overcomplicating things. The b.box Tritan bottle and lunchbox don’t try to reinvent the wheel – they just make it roll a lot smoother. Whether you’re kitting out your child for school, day trips or picnics in the park, these are two items I can confidently recommend.

I hope your week’s been a good one! There’s exciting news in the world of mechanical keyboards – and it’s especially good news for us here in the UK. Our friends at Keychron have just released UK-ISO layout versions of two of their most exciting and feature-rich models: the Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard and the ultra-sleek Keychron K3 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard.
If you’re into keyboards – whether you’re a coder, gamer, writer, or just someone who appreciates a satisfying click – you’ll want to sit down for this.
🔧 Keychron K2 HE – Magnetic Switches, Adjustable Actuation & Custom Comfort
The K2 HE isn’t just another mechanical keyboard. It’s something genuinely special. Designed with Gateron’s double-rail magnetic switches, this 75% layout keyboard gives you precision control, allowing you to tweak the actuation point of each key and enabling something called Dynamic Rapid Trigger – think faster response and more fluid key actions. It’s the kind of tech that’s great for gamers but just as welcome for day-to-day work.
Keychron Unleashes Two New UK-ISO Layout Mechanical Marvels – The K2 HE and K3 Max Hit the UK
Built around a solid aluminium frame and finished with lovely rosewood accents (light wood for the white edition and dark for the black), it’s not just clever – it’s beautiful too. Each version comes with OSA-profile double-shot PBT keycaps, giving you that ever-desirable combo of durability and aesthetic class.
Keychron Unleashes Two New UK-ISO Layout Mechanical Marvels – The K2 HE and K3 Max Hit the UK
You’ve got triple connectivity options – 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and good old-fashioned USB-C. Plus, it works across macOS, Windows, and Linux, which is always a bonus in a multi-device household like mine.
You can grab the K2 HE now from Keychron UK starting at £137, and if you’re a fan of tweaking RGB, sensitivity and multi-action key commands, the Keychron Launcher web configurator is included to let you go full custom mode.
Keychron Unleashes Two New UK-ISO Layout Mechanical Marvels – The K2 HE and K3 Max Hit the UK
💻 Keychron K3 Max – Ultra-Slim, Hot-Swappable, and Fully Programmable
If low-profile is more your thing (or you like your gear slim and stylish), the K3 Max might be your next desk upgrade.
Keychron Unleashes Two New UK-ISO Layout Mechanical Marvels – The K2 HE and K3 Max Hit the UK
This one’s all about portability meets power. It’s just 31% thinner than traditional mechanical boards thanks to Gateron low-profile MX 2.0 switches, yet it still packs in full QMK/VIA customisability. That means full key remapping, macros, and layers – ideal for developers, gamers, or productivity nerds (guilty as charged!).
Keychron Unleashes Two New UK-ISO Layout Mechanical Marvels – The K2 HE and K3 Max Hit the UK
Like the K2 HE, it also supports 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and wired modes, and is built for all the major platforms. You’ll find IXPE acoustic foam and latex support under the hood to dampen key noise and improve comfort – a thoughtful touch for late-night typing sessions.
Inside, it’s driven by a beastly ARM Cortex-M4 MCU with 256KB flash and supports a 1000Hz polling rate, even in wireless mode. All that in a super-slim chassis? Count me in.
Even better – it’s currently on offer at £92.70 (down from £103) on the Keychron UK site. Bargain.
🎉 Final Thoughts
Keychron is one of those rare brands that manages to straddle the line between techie excellence and everyday usability. Both the K2 HE and K3 Max represent the pinnacle of what’s possible in the keyboard space today – elegant, powerful, and now with UK-ISO layouts, so we’re not left out in the cold!
Whether you’re building the ultimate battlestation or just want a keyboard that makes typing that bit more enjoyable, these are both serious contenders.
Brad Ashton, a lively 93-year-old grandfather and former comedy scriptwriter, recently experienced what he enthusiastically calls “the future of motoring” after taking a spin in Nissan’s autonomous driving car. Marking the successful conclusion of Nissan’s groundbreaking evolvAD project, Brad’s ride around the rural roads of Bedfordshire offered a glimpse into how self-driving vehicles could significantly improve the quality of life for older drivers.
93-Year-Old Comedy Writer Says Nissan’s Self-Driving Cars Are the Future of Independent Motoring Photo credit: Simon Jacobs/PinPep
As someone who’s been behind the wheel since 1947, Brad relies heavily on his car—a trusty Nissan Micra—to maintain independence, run errands, and care for his wife, Valerie. His recent ride in the autonomous Nissan highlighted the potential for driverless technology to offer independence to older people, especially those living in rural areas with limited public transport.
Reflecting on his experience, Brad noted, “Cars were different back in 1947 – you had to crank them up – so I’ve always wondered what the cars of the future would be like, and this is it. I felt safe and relaxed throughout the experience. Tech like this could help many of us stay in touch with friends and family, reducing feelings of isolation.”
93-Year-Old Comedy Writer Says Nissan’s Self-Driving Cars Are the Future of Independent Motoring Photo credit: Simon Jacobs/PinPep
Brad’s thoughts align closely with recent research commissioned by Nissan and conducted by OnePoll, involving 1,000 participants aged over 70. The survey revealed a significant demand for technologies that support independence in later life:
64% of respondents expressed interest in future technologies like autonomous vehicles to help maintain their independence.
63% indicated discomfort at the prospect of relying on others for everyday tasks such as shopping and transport.
Around a third (36%) of elderly individuals in rural areas admitted feeling socially isolated due to limited driving ability.
Moreover, a considerable portion (21%) emphasised the importance of face-to-face communication, expressing a preference for personal interaction over online alternatives. This highlights the critical role that accessible transportation plays in maintaining social connections.
Nissan’s evolvAD research project has impressively navigated more than 16,000 autonomous miles across diverse UK roads, from busy urban centres to quiet rural lanes, without any accidents. This achievement underscores the technology’s potential to dramatically enhance road safety and offer new mobility solutions for individuals who may otherwise struggle to get around independently.
David Moss, Nissan’s Senior Vice President of Research & Development for the AMIEO region, shared his optimism about the future, stating, “Our talented team at Nissan Technical Centre Europe in Cranfield will continue developing this exciting technology. Autonomous driving offers safer, cleaner, and more inclusive mobility, bringing huge benefits to older generations and individuals in rural locations.”
With pioneers like Brad Ashton advocating its benefits, the future of autonomous driving promises to help older adults maintain independence and connectivity, transforming their golden years into an era of continued adventure and social interaction.
Stay tuned to The Gadget Man for more updates on how innovative automotive technologies are shaping our future on the roads.

Gaming setup goes beyond just having a PC or a console; the right accessories can improve your gameplay, improve your comfort, and give you a competitive edge. Most gamers will know that having the right setup really matters. Let’s have a look at some of the essential tech accessories that every gamer should have in their setup.
5 Must-Have Tech Accessories for Gamers
Gaming Mouse
A standard mouse is not going to cut it for serious gamers. A gaming mouse offers you better precision, responsiveness, and customization options.
You may see features like programmable buttons, ergonomic design, and DPI settings. These can significantly impact your game and performance. Whether you play MOBA, RPGs, or FPS, a high-quality gaming mouse provides you with the accuracy and speed that a regular mouse cannot match.
Mechanical Keyboard
A mechanical keyboard gives you faster response times, better overall feel, and durability compared to a standard keyboard. Mechanical switches provide tactile feedback and faster actuation, making key presses more efficient. Many models also give you customizable RGB lighting, anti-ghosting technology, and macro keys in order to prevent misinputs during intense gaming. You can use a standard keyboard, but you may not get the same experience.
Gaming Headset
Sound is important in gaming. A high-quality gaming headset gives you clear audio, deep bass, and noise cancellation, meaning that you are never going to miss any of the in-game action. It improves in-game immersion and allows you to communicate clearly with any teammates that you are playing with. Look for features such as a noise-cancelling microphone, surround sound, and comfortable ear padding for extended gaming sessions. Wireless options also reduce cable clutter and offer greater mobility.
HDMI Splitter
An HDMI splitter is a game changer for those who use multiple gaming devices. It allows you to connect multiple consoles or a PC to a single monitor or TV without constantly having to switch cables. This means that moving between devices is efficient and seamless. If you stream or record gameplay, an HDMI splitter can also help by mirroring your display to another screen or capture card without any lag, improving your content creation workflow.
Gaming Chair
Comfort matters when you are spending a long time gaming. A gaming chair supports your posture, reduces back pain, and improves your focus. Keep your eye out for a chair that has adjustable height, lumbar support, and reclining function.
Many gaming chairs also feature memory foam cushions and breathable materials for extra comfort. A good chair ensures that you stay comfortable and avoid strain when you are spending extended periods gaming.
Final Thoughts
Investing in the right accessories improves your gaming experience and helps you to perform at your best. A responsive gaming mouse coupled with things like HDMI splitters can make a huge difference. Upgrade your setup today with these must-have accessories and take your gaming to the next level. Is there any other piece of tech you would recommend for gamers? It would be great to hear about them in the comments section below.
As men, we’ve all been there. It’s the weekend or an unexpected free period and you find yourself wondering what on earth to do with all that free time besides browsing social media or binge watching Netflix? Sure, your friends might suggest playing a sport, hitting up the pub, or tinkering with DIY projects, but are you looking for something truly unconventional that will spark your curiosity, teach new skills or give you something interesting to talk about later? Gentlemen, it’s time to think outside the box. Here are some brilliantly unconventional ideas.
Master the Art of Leathercraft
Master the Art of Leathercraft
Forget flat-pack furniture assembly, leathercraft is where true artistry (and patience) shine. Leather crafting allows you to craft functional yet high-quality items with your own hands. Anything from wallets, belts or even knife sheaths. There’s something immensely rewarding about learning a skill that dates back centuries, using pricking irons and skivers to craft pieces that may outlive you. Not to mention you’ll end up with (possible) gifts and accessories that exude old-school sophistication. Online tutorials make this accessible even if you aren’t the most artistic among your friends. Who knows, maybe what begins as a hobby might even turn into an Etsy side hustle.
Give Falconry a Try
Yes, you read right, falconry could become your new passion. Although this ancient practice of training birds of prey might sound like something from medieval knights’ domain, modern falconry remains an exhilarating activity that is still going strong today. There are many falconry centres across the UK offering beginner experiences so that you can learn basic handling techniques of these majestic creatures. Falconry makes you seem extremely cool when mentioned during casual conversations. And bonding with your own hawk or falcon will open your mind up to nature’s beauty too.
Learn a Dead Language
Step aside Spanish and Mandarin and challenge yourself by picking up one or more dead languages like Latin. While it might no longer be found on the streets, its influence still can be found in law, medicine, and science, not to mention Old English and Ancient Greek which might make ordering coffee any simpler. Cracking these linguistic puzzles provides your brain with an intense workout. Who needs Sudoku when there are ancient verb conjugations?
Take Up Competitive Axe Throwing
Looking for something a bit more different? Try your hand at competitive axe throwing. Once a niche activity in Canada, axe-throwing has now found its way to cities throughout the UK with venues opening nationwide offering this fun activity combining precision, strength, and primal energy. Bring a friend along for some competition or join a league to take your skills even further.
Become a Whisky Connoisseur
Drinking whisky can be fun, but truly understanding it requires an art form. Don’t simply stockpile bottles, take the time to explore its depths. Learn about distillation processes, experiment with tasting notes and distinguish Speyside and Islay whiskies confidently. There are whisky tasting events all across the UK that offer full masterclasses or why not even create your own blend? Either way, your refined palate and sophisticated hobby is here waiting for you.
Exploring Online Gaming and Gambling Platforms
Online games and gambling have quickly become immensely popular over the past several years among those looking for competitive thrills or hoping to put their luck to the test. From multiplayer online games that bring people from around the globe together to virtual casinos offering poker, slots and roulette. The online gaming world caters to a range of interests and needs. Numerous platforms now integrate sophisticated graphics and live interactions, creating experiences similar to in-person gaming. And many offer free offers and bonuses, making it accessible for anyone to give online gambling a try and potentially score big wins. However, it’s important to approach online gambling responsibly by setting limits and keeping it as an entertainment source rather than financial risk. From fantasy sports strategy games to placing bets on roulette wheels, the digital world offers endless opportunities for enjoyment and engagement.
Take Up Urban Foraging
Although most people think of foraging as something best reserved for forests, did you know you can take part right in the city itself. Parks, riversides and even green verges offer up an abundance of edible treasures waiting to be discovered. From wild garlic pesto to elderflower cordials, urban foraging can turn a casual stroll into a culinary adventure. However, it’s important that beginners start small with beginner classes or guides as picking out any wrong plant could have disastrous results and emergency room visits.
