    BB News 2011
    December 21st, 2011

    The ultimate 1980s arm candy is back. The Calculator Watch adds retro tech to your wrist. Available in four funky brights. At last you can listen to your favourite tunes in the shower. The water-resistant iMusic Shower Gel MP3 Player hangs from a normal shower gel hook and sports touch-sensitive navigation controls for your tracks and volume. Simply pop an SD card of your fave music in and get singing in the shower. The Fat Bird kit consists of a silicone ‘cupcake’ style mould with novelty birdlike feet plus a pack of seeds and string, which together with leftover cooking fat, can produce the perfect fatball bird feeders to keep our feathered friends fed and well throughout the winter months. The Pink Garden Kit is the ultimate and ultra-pretty set for the keen gardener. Neatly supplied in a trug with stowable handle, this kit contains all you need to get growing: soft touch kneeling mat, dibber, stainless steel fork and trowel with soft grip handle, plant labels, easy grip pruning shears, a set of multi-purpose gloves and gardening twine. Stylish knitted design with in-built headphones allowing you to listen to your favourite music when out and about, be it waiting for a bus, a leisurely walk through the park or just taking a little “me time” in a crowded street. Wireless for tangle free listening. A funky wall clock with a difference. Forwards is backwards! The numbers and hand movements on this quirky clock are inverted so you are effectively telling the time backwards. Great looking and a great talking point. The Dash II Radio Controlled Boat is a must for all those who dream of one day owning a speedboat and becoming James Bond. With speeds of over 15mph, quick charge times and an extremely detailed and sleek shell, the Dash II will be the envy of all the other kids, and big kids, at the pond. The retro 80s toy is back and cooler than ever. The programmable robot sports a 23-button keypad to direct your six-wheeled Bigtrak all over the show. BB has a range of accessories for the Bigtrak including a Can Holder and a Rocket Launcher for extra 21st century retro fun.

    As you can see by our BB 12 Days of Christmas above we’ve had a very lyrical week. “And a shower gel for an MP3” has been the sentence that everyone has been singing under their breath this week in the office. Christmas songs – love ‘em or hate ‘em – they do make Christmas feel just that little bit closer. We hope you enjoy humming the song – our favourite toy mags have had fun tweeting them this week. Check out our Twitter @BBTradesales.

    Speaking of toys, we loved seeing 50 toys over the last century courtesy of Cash Generator.com http://www.cashgenerator.co.uk/top-50-christmas-toys-of-the-last-100-years.aspx It made us feel all nostalgic but there was something missing – Bigtrak. Hot in the 80s and even hotter now. Check it out on our site and keep an eye out in 2012 for some exciting Bigtrak updates.

    So all that’s left for me to say is have a fantastic weekend and see you next week.

    It’s our BB 12 Days of Christmas, we get clicking n cooking and so enters the dragon (kind of)
    09/12/2011

    Another fantastic week here in BBTradesales land. The dragon has entered – well ok not exactly a dragon dragon – but a successful Dragons’ Den entrepreneur. Max McMurdo joined us this week as a Product Designer and we’re already enjoying his fantastic designs and flamboyant character here at the farm. His existing products such as the Fat Birds have already been revered in the last week by Sarah Lonsdale at the Sunday Telegraph. Check out the birds on our site. Read more about Max further down the page.

    Speaking of press, did you guys see our Click n Cook in The Culinary Guide.If not check it out below. Tis the season to get cooking after all!

    And whilst we’re on the subject of seasons I hope you’ve been making the most of our 12 Days of Christmas. Every day for 12 days we’re giving you a code to buy one item and get another FREE for 24 hours per product. Each day the product changes and we’re even building-up our own version of the song. It’ll stick in your head by the end of the 12 days – promise.

    So all that’s left for me to say is have a fantastic weekend and see you next week.
