Retro Classics!

Posted by Brian on 23 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Gifts for Boys, Gifts for Girls

Hello!

We love all things retro here at Prezzybox HQ. From the retro sweets filling our Chewbz to our Ladybird notebooks, we just love bringing the best from the past back into the 21st Century.

Our most recent retro revival comes in the form of these brilliantly familiar Nintendo classics! Small enough to fit on your keyring, these mini games are being met with nostalgic smiles wherever they go.

Do you remember Mario Cement Factory? Let us refresh your memory… In this simple but addictive game, you assume the role of Mario working in a cement factory. You must empty cement from the hoppers into the cement trucks below. A conveyor belt at the top moves cement into hoppers which can only hold three loads at a time. An alarm sounds when one has been filled to capacity. To move Mario around the screen, you must use elevators located at the center. If you move to the center when an elevator is not present, Mario falls to the bottom and loses a life. Losing a life may also occur if you stay on the elevator too long, in which case Mario will either fall or be crushed! Poor Mario…

Donkey Kong Junior is the well-loved 1982 arcade-style platform video game by Nintendo. It first appeared in arcades, and was later released on the the Nintendo Entertainment System. Its eponymous star, Donkey Kong Junior (DKJ), is trying to rescue his father Donkey Kong, who has been imprisoned. Donkey Kong’s cage is guarded by Mario, in his only appearance as an antagonist in a video game.

Super Mario Bros. is the massively popular platform video game developed by Nintendo in late 1985 and published for the Nintendo Entertainment System as a sequel to the 1983 game Mario Bros. In Super Mario Bros. the titular character, Mario, seeks to rescue Princess Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser, king of the Koopas.

So get your paws on these mini consoles and get playing!

Love it or Hate it?

Posted by Brian on 23 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Gifts for Boys, Gifts for Girls

Hi There

Everyone has heard of Marmite and it’s unique taste. They say you either love it or hate it, personally, I’m not a fan but apparently I’m one of the few in Prezzybox HQ who doesn’t love the stuff!

But even someone like me who doesn’t like marmite can appreciate the iconic image of the Marmite jar, it’s about as recognisable as the infamous Campbell’s Soup cans that Andy Warhol painted. Now you can bring a little piece of British imagery into your home with the Oversize Marmite Money Jar. It looks brilliant on a shelf and is a great talking point. It also stores loads of cash, £200 in 5p pieces to be exact (don’t worry, you can put other coins in there too!)

The next one is probably best suited for those who love Marmite (although I applaud those of you who wish to be ironic!). the Marmite sandwich box is just the right size to stash your sarnie and keep it safe from Marmite thieves!

So now you can enjoy your marmite sarnies with pride while you save up to buy more Marmite! Or, if you’re a hater, you can place an item of iconic British Imagery in your home and provide a little bit of lunchtime confusion at school or work when you whip your jam sarnie out of the Marmite box!

Whether you Love it or Hate it, you’re going to love these!

Mighty Speaker

Posted by Brian on 22 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Gadgets, Gifts for Boys, Gifts for Girls

Hello!

The people at Prezzybox have been hearing things. No, they’ve not been going mad, but they’ve been hearing some banging tunes coming out of the Boom Box Mighty Mini Speaker. You’d be forgiven for thinking that they are a bit mad though, there’s something funny about the people at the mighty box!

Now it might not look like much, in fact it looks teeny, but don’t be fooled by its size. The Mighty Mini Speaker is very aptly named as the speaker inside this little Boom Box uses wonderous micro technology to belt out your favourite tunes. When cranked right up, the volume that this little box can produce is staggering. Not only is the box loud but your music is played in crystal clarity, a feat that is near impossible for similar speakers when cranked up to 11!

This teeny tiny speaker will rock your socks off and is more than enough to provide some tunes at any party!

Kelvin.23 Multi Tool

Posted by Brian on 22 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Gadgets, Gifts for Boys, Gifts for Girls, Gifts for the Home

Hi There!

Don’t you just hate it when you have a small DIY job to do in the house and you have to lug your heavy toolbox around the house to fix it? It might be simply tightening a screw that ends up getting putt off until one day the whole house falls down!

These little niggly jobs get put off because it’s too much effort to go and get your tools out from the tool box. Wouldn’t it be useful to have the whole tool box in an easy-to-reach place? Instead of making a space for the bulky box, why not substitute it for the Kelvin.23?

This nifty little thing has 23 functions! from a sturdy screwdriver complete with 16 of the most widely used bits to a flashlight to help you out in dark spots or when a fuse blows.

The screwdriver locks at both 180 and 90 degrees allowing you to add more pressure for some tougher screws. It also has 2 built-in magnets on the side to hold screws while you’re not using them.

The Kelvin.23 also has a Spirit Level, Measuring Tape, Hammer and Torch

Not only that, but it comes in pink too!
