BIN THERE, TOWED THAT
Anyone who lives in a rural area will know that councils often won’t collect wheelie bins even one inch off public roads. For those who have long driveways or live down private lanes this can mean pushing the bin or driving up and down with a car full of bin bags. The Bin-Tow could solve the problem. Easy to fit, the device hooks around the bin handle and slots onto a standard towball so you can pull the bin to the road. It is suitable for all types of wheelie bin and costs £24.99 plus carriage.

SMALL TALK
Jabra has introduced a slimline version of its hands-free Bluetooth range of headsets. The BT500 weighs just 19g, making it one of the lightest available. It has a sleek design and allows eight hours of talk time before a recharge is needed. The headset also features an improved antenna for a more stable link to the phone, which means there is less interference. It costs about £50. Jabra can be contacted on 0800 032 7026 (www.jabra.com)
LAND ROVER LAUGHTER
Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast or a Discovery-driving urban mum, The Funniest 4x4 By Far could be for you. Featuring more than 90 cartoons chronicling the trials and tribulations of Land Rover ownership, it shows the vehicles in various situations: from Discoverys stranded on the M25 to Pink Panthers (the Land Rovers driven by the SAS) in Iraq.
