You’ve all heard them by now, even if you don’t know what the correct name is, but what if you could block the annoying sound emanating from your TV set this last week or so? You know the sound! It’s like watching the director’s cut of “The Attack of the Killer Bees” in magnificent Stereo Surround-O-Rama. Frankly, the Vuvuzela may be an African tradition, but it irritating, loud and distracting.
Now’s the time to look to antidotes in the shape of a few early Christmas gift ideas, because if we don’t there’s going to be people all over the World still hearing that buzzing in six months time.
If you’re after something a little more unsual, but that still makes a practical Christmas present, then you don’t need to look any further than the iLogic Sound Hat available in shades of black, white, or pink for the ladies. The added bonus with these beat box beanies is they will keep your ears warm in the winter whilst plugging right in to your iPod and yet, cleverly, not annoy your friends or family with that all too familiar wail associated with normal ear buds.
If hats aren’t your thing, then try out the perfect present for him or her with the ZaggBud Noise Cancelling Headphones. Not just Vuvuzela proof, these buds are clever enough to detect an incoming call on your iPhone and with the inbuilt switch and microphone, allow you to answer the call without unplugging or messing around with the phone!
Finally, if you think that ridiculous horns call for drastic measures, relieve the tinnitus-inducing frustration with a Flying Animal. The monkey yodels, the pig ‘oinks’ and the rooster crows in flight and when it hits your chosen target. There’s also a hidden upside to throwing these animals about your home. They should only be used by children over 12, so if your offspring are all 11 or under, tell them they can’t legally throw them back at you. They seem to believe anything at that age, bless them. Even that England are going to win the football World Cup!
