There is nothing better than a warm and sensual shower to shake the winter blues away. If you have a companion, it is all the much better. However, when the shower is the same old boring, it can kill all the fun. All you would need to do is get yourself a cool shower system like the Perfect Shower which has been launched by Hansa.

It is called the Smart Shower and it comes with three shower heads, which when integrated into your bathroom, you could turn it into a steamy playground, literally. The Smart Shower comes with gentle showers, cascades and body spray functions and each one is better than the other. This luxurious shower can now be ordered from the Hansa website.

There is nothing better than soothing ones frozen nerves under the steaming shower as it rejuvenates all the tired and numb cells in the body. Hot showers are always luxurious during winters and that is perhaps why most shower systems are unveiled during this time of the year. There is no information regarding prices but I would say, price really should not matter to you as long as it serves the purpose of making you happy.

Wars have always taken lives of many innocent men, women and children. The instruments of wars have always been men too, and these foot soldiers and the cavaliers or the horse riders bore the brunt of violence more than the civilians. During the World War I most men sent to fight wars died almost within a week of joining the army in the trenches. Many Australians too fought in the war, and thousands of Australian youth were sent to European trenches where they died within weeks of arrival.

The novel “Fly Away Peter” is a tale that follows the life of Jim, an ornithologist who goes to fight in the World War I in France. He dies. Alan Somerville is an Australian sculptor who has created the Light Horse Soldier sculpture in bronze. These horsemen from Australia fought in the Middle East as well, where they died of exhaustion and violence.

This sculpture reminds you of the futility of war and he thousands of innocent men who died in the name of valour and patriotism. Unfortunately, they were all pawns under corrupt lieutenants and politicians who waged wars insanely for no reason and sacrificed the lives of millions of young soldiers. You could buy the Bronze Light Horse Soldier for $15,500.

There is something really cool about robot and maybe that is because of the influence of movies and pop culture which have always been fascinated by all things that are rooted in science fiction. While robots are no more science fiction and a part of reality, Croatian artist Robert Matysiak has designed these cool Robot Lamps using just plumbing supplies.

The lamps are nuiquely designed and come in many different shapes and sizes. Each of these robots that are made from pipes etc, come with bulbs and they make it look rather avant-garde. The plumbing hardware are rigid and quite unchangeable but the Croatian designer has made sure each Robot Lamp has a character of its own.

It is a great way to teach your children that robots were once a part of fictitious world and only now have they entered everyday lives. I would love to get these Robot Lamps myself, and it would really look good in your living room or anywhere else. In fact, if you are a video game fan, you would love these lamps as they would certainly set the ambience for playing video games based on science fiction plots.

Aston Martin is here to play with your imagination. Those times have gone by when the famous car maker would busy itself in designing A-class cars only. As of today, it occasionally does enjoy dabbling into creating other luxury stuffs too that car enthusiasts everywhere would heartily appreciate. The DBR1/2 Essence of Form Cufflinks falls in the same category.

These extremely suave and stylish pair of accessories for men depict an exceptional design of a sportscar complete with a driver sitting in. The car in question is the iconic 1950’s DBR1 sports racing car that has been crafted from none other than the original redundant aluminum body panel pieces from DBR1/2 as ‘donor metal’ (yep, that’s the latest trend in the auto world nowadays).

Aston Martin has decided to produce two editions of these very exclusive cuffs, each depicting a different sculpted version of the glam car. There will only be 50 units available in the market, each bearing a price tag of $4,000. Accompanying the cuffs will be certificated signed by Carroll Shelby. So, what are you waiting for? Va va vroooooooooooom!

We have all understood how cool and elegant the Kindle actually is. It reduces the reliance on paper and makes you a clean and green person. Most importantly, it opens door to a wide selection of books and magazines thanks to the collection on Amazon.

Amazon literally changed the way we perceive “books”. Now, if you are missing the leathery hard bind of old books, here is a cool Case-Mate which recreates the Old English book style with a genuine leather case. It even comes with an LED powered light so that you can read at night easily without having to use a table lamp. The Case-Mate has called their Kindle II case Enlighten. The Enlighten would be available from December onwards.

Unfortunately, it increases the size of the sleek and thin Kindle and might make you feel you are carrying a bulky book from the library. It is a perfect gift for anyone who is expecting a Christmas gift from you. It is still cool and looks good, protects you kindle and the extra weight and baggage can be ignored for a while till they design something sleeker and slimmer.

Thanks to Wi-fi you can check your Twitter account, update your Facebook, and send email and do thousands of things.

You could even connect it to an iPod Nano using the USB port. You could also connect to many radio stations such as Pandora and listen to music.

Cote D’Azure is the world’s most luxurious strip of coast in Southern France and Monte Carlo. The blue waters, the sunny skies and the decadence make it the right place to build your mansion and relax for a lifetime. It also is one of the most expensive real estate areas in the world. Villa Leopolda was the world’s most expensive estate at a price of $750 million. Now, the price has been slashed and you could buy it for a mere $102 million.

A drop of nearly $650 million makes it one of the biggest cuts in real estate prices in the world. The villa comes with 11-bedroom, 14-bathroom, 29,000 square feet of interior space, manicured lawns, swimming pool, spiralling outdoor staircases, balconies and terraces, Working fireplaces, a sauna, outdoor kitchen and pool house among other features.

It is now the world’s 4th most expensive estate and it is still no way cheap if you asked me. If you have that kind of money, I would say buy yourself an Island off the Scottish coast and another near Tahiti. When you need sun and the sand, you could visit Tahiti and when you need gloom and snow, you could go to Scotland. You would still be left with many millions to buy an apartment in Monaco. Why waste on a single expensive mansion?

The winter is getting fiercer and all you would want at a time like this is a great fireplace. i know it is rather funny to think about fireplaces when the best internal heating systems are around. Nevertheless, CalSpas have launched the Cape Pod 90 which is really uber-luxurious, if i should not exaggerate.

It looks like a contemporary villa and the beautiful fireplace-fire pit comes with loads of gadgets even. It comes with an integrated stereo system, mood lighting and a 90 degree pergola roof. Thanks to Illumapanels, it creates glowing atmosphere. The CalSpas Cape Pod 90 would be available in about 2 weeks and I am sure you can’t wait to get one for your house. It gives a 360 degree view of the fire and makes your living space warm and comfortable.

There is nothing better than having a great fire when it is cold and wintry. I love winters for that very reason as you could sit by the fire and imagine and let your mind slip away into fantasy world. Otherwise, you could also read books, listen to music and just have a great time by this luxurious fire.

Swedish designer Henrik Amberla is known for many things and most importantly it is his Milky Way alarm clock that walks away with all the trophies. Thanks to the turning motion, it triggers a snooze function and the other way around makes it turn on the alarm function or set the time.

It comes with an extremely smooth and sleek look and when you wonder why it has been named the Milky Way, the design makes it pretty apparent. It reflects the duality of life and also of the day. The day beginning to change into a night and the night turning into day is reflective of the way the Milky Way behaves too. With a design that mimics the Milky Way, you can even use the Milky Way Alarm Clock to encourage your space voyage dreams that may take you far beyond our solar system.

There is no information about the price or availability but I must say it is a pretty cool design and when it is available a lot of people would love to buy it. I am wondering if it should also come in other colours apart from the eponymous milky colour. It would be interesting to see a black Milky Way alarm clock. Wouldn’t it be?
