Sometimes nails are too short and small for our fingers to hold and we end up with swollen thumbs. The Nail Cushion is a rubberized plate that holds various nail diameters to allow an easy and safe strike. By default the plate also helps drive the nail straight in. No more swollen thumbs and safe enough for Tim Allen to use. added on 2007-12-16

Fancy a cuppa? Who doesn't, but waiting for the kettle to boil is a right bore. Thankfully the groundbreaking Tefal QuickCup is here and it delivers hot water in 3 seconds. You heard, 3 seconds! That's about the same amount of time it takes to say 'Isn't Firebox fantastic?' Astonishing. added on 2007-12-16

Switch Me is a humble salt and pepper shaker concept which allows one to switch between salt and pepper at the press of a button. The body has two chambers to avoid mixing and definitely has a different look to it… for all the salt and pepper shaker collectors out there. added on 2007-12-16

Designed to reduce shedding better than any brush, comb, or rake, this innovative tool works effectively for all shedding long- and short-haired cats. It effectively addresses the issue of the undercoat, which can become a dense mess of loose, dead hair and the major source of shedding--as well as the allergies and cleanliness problems that come with it. The revolutionary grooming device utilizes a unique 1-3/4-inch stainless-steel edge that grabs loose undercoat hair and quickly and easily removes it, without damaging the topcoat. It actually brings out the pet's natural oils, promoting healthier skin and a shiny topcoat. Cats will enjoy the feeling the de-shedding tool provides, and caretakers will appreciate the results. Used by veterinarians and recommended by doctors for people who have allergies, the tool reduces shedding up to 90 percent, helps eliminate hairballs, and decreases the amount of airborne elements that cause allergic reactions. The de-shedding tool features a comfortable, ergonomic grip handle and measures approximately 6 by 1 by 2 inches. added on 2007-12-16

Thinking Putty's unique properties mean it doesn't react quite like any other substance known to man. Thinking Putty will bounce, but with enough force it will also shatter. Thinking Putty will stretch, but you can also tear it. Thinking Putty can even be made to snap. As David Coleman used to say, "Quite remarkable".

Thinking Putty
Thinking Putty is completely unique and now, thanks to Firebox, you can own a tin packed with over 3 ounces of the stuff, ready to put to work for whatever cause you see fit. Remember: there's very little that can't be achieved with a tin of Thinking Putty and the bare minimum of effort:

* It bounces...
* It stretches and squishes...
* It lifts print from newspapers...
* It snaps, crackles and pops...
* It shears and tears...
* It melts and drips...
* It even shatters!

How does it do that?!
Thinking Putty is a dilatant compound, (which means it becomes solid under the influence of pressure), and it displays four different properties on four different time scales:

* At very long timescales, it behaves like a liquid spreading out onto a flat surface.
* At moderate timescales, Thinking Putty stretches like a plastic solid.
* At short timescales, it bounces like an elastic solid.
* At very short timescales (the impact of a high-speed projectile), Thinking Putty simply shatters.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What am I supposed to do with Thinking Putty?
A: There are so many potential uses we couldn't possibly list them all, but here is a suggestion to start with: Bring your new Thinking Putty to work and leave it on your desk. You'll find yourself tearing off a handful and using it to relieve stress while your brain ponders infinite creative possibilities. Soon after, you'll find your own unconscious energies breaking through - creativity you didn't even know you had.

Sculptures and Dali-esque designs will flow from your own hands and work may even be transformed into... fun.

Q: If I bring the Thinking Putty to work, will people think that I am incredibly cool?
A: Yes, they will. We (almost) guarantee it. Your coworkers will most likely try to steal some Thinking Putty off your desk. Thinking Putty in the hands of others creates uncontrollable and insane jealousy. Perhaps they will try to befriend you and weasel their own adult-size handful of putty from your personal supply.

Q: Then what happens?
A: Eventually you will probably want to order more Thinking Putty to feed the habits of yourself and your coworkers. (This is Firebox.com's plan for world domination). Shortly afterwards, you will become a self-proclaimed monarch of a new Thinking Putty fiefdom. Your office will begin to look like a Dali workshop with Thinking Putty dripping from the ceilings. The unleashed and unbridled creative force of your workplace will make you all unstoppable.

Q: Is that true?
A: Well, you'll develop stronger hands at least. The rest is up to you and your imagination. Buy some Thinking Putty and see for yourself! added on 2007-12-05

Think of Muppets and you usually think of the Muppet Show, Sesame Street and the New England Patriots. But what about Fraggle Rock? You remember, the surreal 80s TV show about a gang of cave dwelling critters and a talking compost heap. In common with most of Jim Henson's forays into TV it was brilliantly bizarre and made household names (well almost) of its zany lead characters.

Fraggle Rock

Perfect cushion buddies
And now, thanks to your obscure television-loving friends at Firebox, you can display your geekish knowledge of all things Muppet-esque by snuggling up to a Fraggle. Fraggle Rock Dolls are just as colorful, cuddly and quirky as the characters upon which they are based. Who knows, you might even remember a few songs from the show once you get snuggling. ('The Ballad of Sir Blunderbrain' anyone?).

There are three Fraggles to choose from but it would be cruel to split them up so we recommend you buy all three. Then again we would say that, wouldn't we? First up, meet Gobo, leader of the gang and an intrepid explorer; next, say hello to Wembley, Gobo's indecisive friend and roommate; finally there's Red, a feminine Fraggle who's confident, head-strong and very energetic.

Ideal as desktop companions, memory-jogging huggables or must-have accessories for Muppet fans with (almost) everything, Fraggle Rock Dolls are the cutest rejuvenated rock stars we've ever seen. All together now, 'Dance your cares away, worry's for another day...'

Poor old Mr P. Just as he was getting over the embarrassment of being immortalized in key ring form, he turns up in the shape of a rather mischievous table lamp. And yes, the rubberized on/off switch is exactly where you think it is! No wonder his whole head lights up when you, ahem, turn him on.

In terms of originality, this naughty little fella leaves most table lamps in the shade. Unless of course you've already seen one with a tallywhacker that doubles up as a switch. But we doubt that, because only a character as endearing as Mr P could get away with being so cheeky.

Thankfully Mr P comes complete with a smart shade to hide his face (but not his appendage). Having said that, we prefer to position the shade at a tilted angle or remove it completely so we can still see his innocent 'what, me?' expression. Sorry Mr P, you're just too cute to hide.

Mr P Lamp

Shy... Bashful... Just Plain Proud!

Indeed, just like the famous Manneken Pis in Brussels, the Mr P Lamp will garner 'oohs!' and 'urghs!' in equal measure. He'll also garner plenty of grins. He won't, unfortunately, squirt water all over the place.

Ideal as a desktop lamp, Mr P is so versatile he can be used as a bedside light or even a floor lamp. It all depends on how badly you want to share his embarrassment. Speaking of which, you could always strip off yourself and throw a light shade over your head. But that would only shed light on your strange habits.

This whimsical exhibitionist is guaranteed to illuminate any situation and add a touch of quirky humor to your home or office. Because let's face it, there aren't that many table lamps that possess a you-know-what. And there are even less that would have the cajones to show it - especially when it's so dinky. Still, it's not how big it is... added on 2007-12-05

Back in the days when shag pile carpets were the height of fashion and the average wardrobe contained enough nylon to down a zeppelin, the only way to call someone in the UK was via a GPO-supplied telephone.

Retro Telephones

Good things come to those who wait... to dial!
There were no phone stores or communication companies vying for your money. You used what you were given. And what you were given was a marvellously clunky (genuine) plastic contraption with an ugh-ugh-ing rotary dial, shrieking bells and a dumbbell-style handset that barely balanced between shoulder and ear. Brilliant!

Retro Telephones

Two-tone Pink design
These triumphs of telephonic engineering are now unequivocal design classics, so much so we've decided to start selling the unwieldy things. Perfect for lovers of retro-chic hardware, Retro Telephones are completely authentic models from the 70s.

Retro Telephones

Deal or No Deal?
Lovingly refurbished internally and ready for use with modern phone sockets, each stylish hunk of plastic is guaranteed to bring the memories flooding back the second you poke your finger in the dial and hear that familiar ugh-ugh. You might even remember a few numbers from the good old days and start answering the phone by reciting your telephone number, in your best nasal operator voice.

Retro Telephones

Black design
With their bone-shaking bell ringers and curvaceous geek-chic styling, Retro Telephones laugh in the fascias of modern slimline phones with weedy ringtones. They also look seriously cool in any scenario, in a dial-'i'-for-irony kind of way. Best of all you can slam the handset down, Jack Reagan style, wind the curly-wurly cable around your hand or pace around the room gripping the gigantic base unit. Oh yes, you can also have a good old chinwag. It's good to talk; it's even better doing it on a Retro Telephone. Ugh-ughhhh... added on 2007-12-05
