If you can’t take the noxious fumes of a city after alighting from a plane, stay in the plane instead! The Stockholm-Arlanda airport will now feature a hostel on wings of sort. The hostel is nothing but a Boeing 747 from 1976 which has about 25 rooms after being converted into a grounded hostel. This apparently is also the world’s first hostel and comes with original engines that mesmerize any guest.
The flight deck now doubles up as a private suite and there also is a lounge and cafe for those who need some kind of refreshments and relaxation. A night ion the hostel is not exactly like staying in a YMCA funded hostel. A night in the Jumbo Hostel will set you back by $170.

Eminem believes that music can alter moods and talk to you and most anyone else would agree with him. But Hammacher Schlemmer went a few steps ahead and decided that music need not only relate to our mental well being but can also help in the area of our physical health.
The Acoustic Resonance Massage Chair has 30 plain and 30 wound piano strings in brass enmeshing the back of the chair. Inspired by medieval Scandinavian cradles that used the same concept to soothe babies to sleep, the German musical chair requires the user to hire some talented fingers to play the harp. The vibration from the strings produces not just beautiful clear melodies but also sends vibrations all through the chair giving the person residing on it a great massage all the way to the fingertips.

Well, we do know what you pretty ladies might say when you look at the Octo Place de l’Etolie by Gerald Genta. Yes, it is a wide watch at 39mm but that should not stop you from trying out this bold beauty. Trust us, it makes a strong beautiful statement in its 18K red gold case, mauve strap and diamond studs.
Your eye will first stop at the signature Gerald Genta retrograde minute hand that comes with a jumping hour indicator aperture. Yes, the minute hand only travels across the top half of the dial starting at point zero and then progresses to point sixty. Next step, it jumps to zero instantly.

We were wondering that it’s high time someone came up with a cool method to allow effective use of a laptop in the comfort of one’s bed without undue ergonomic stress. Better known as available versions like Laptop Laidback, Laptop Wizard or Lapdawg X4, this set up of adjustable trays lets you enjoy some reclined computing.
Like we mentioned, the Lapdawg X4 (yeah, we like this one the best and the coolest) comes with support trays that can easily be adjusted to achieve the right angle and height for convenient laptop handling. So much so that it even lets you position your arms with elbows at right angles with support from the bed or sofa surface that Lapdawg is propped on to. I think we all will agree that none can work all day in that position but it definitely will be comfortable for a few several hours.

Expect Italian expresso makers Elektra to come with a coffee making masterpiece that will just compel you to fall in love with it.

So, the famous copper and brass machine has now been hand-hammered, welded and polished for a mirror finish. Standing atop the whole structure is a brass eagle.
