Cool gadget of the month - DVD "screensavers"

I just got these cool new DVD's through the post yesterday. They're basically screensavers for your DVD player but with a cool twist.

There are three different themes out just now but all you do is stick the DVD in your player and then sit back and watch as your television turns into your very own little fireplace, aquarium or bird cage.

I've bought us the fireplace and aquarium versions but see if you turn the lights down, put a bit of music on and turn the fire on it strangely feels like you've got one in your living room AND no mess to clean up afterward :) Bonus!!!!

Julie found them a little while back after a couple of her friends recommended them for babies. Apparently they're just hypnotised by the movement of these things and keeps them amused for hours. It must beat the traditional "putting them in-front of the washing machine" trick for the parents as well.

If you're interested I bought them over at Play for £6.99 each. Not a bad price really considering how much it costs to get a real fireplace/aquarium setup.
