Always had something of a soft spot for Henry the Hoover with his smiley eyes, cheeky smile and big old black hat? Us too, but the the thing is with sleeker and more space effective models like Dysons on the market it’s not really the most practical option as your main hoover.

What it is however is a very good hoover for cleaning your desk. That is if you own Mr Mini Henry Hoover.

Yes that’s right Henry Hoover has had the “Honey I Shrunk The Kids” treatment and is now small enough to sit on your desk, and he’s just as powerful as his bigger self with his 2 AA Batteries more than able to suck up all those biscuit crumb you shouldn’t have been eating.

Oh and if you’re feeling particularly gay you can also get Hetty the Hoover in a mini pink version too..

Henry and Hetty mini hoovers are available to order for £11.95 at Gadgets.co.uk.

Remember those good old days when taking a photo didn’t require a SD card to store them on but just popped out on a piece of paper that you’d then have to wave about in the air for half an hour whilst it dried?

Well those good old days are back and guaranteed to be even better than before thanks to the Polaroid 300 Instant Analogue Camera. Featuring the same great retro click and print functions as the original, this new camera also comes complete with some rather tasty new features including auto flash, auto adjust, a 1/60 second electronic shutter and manual exposure compensation.

Printing out business card size photos, the shape may have changed but don’t worry it’s still got that same classic white border effect that will take you right back to your youth..

Powered by a replaceable coin cell battery, the light is easily turned on and off by a neatly integrated button, and can be either used to blast you with a few seconds of light, or indefinitely if you’re using it to find the keys you’ve just dropped in the garden.

Presumably produced to allow you to pretend your Simon Cowell / Amanda Holden / Piers Morgan whilst watching Britains Got Talent, here at Queeried we’ve got a much better use for the Britains Got Talent buzzer – using it to tell homophobic people exactly what we think  of them.

Really it works very well. Just give them a few seconds to get into full homophobic swing and then just keep on pressing it until they give up. It’s also very good when watching live Parliament debates….. oh and meetings. Perhaps not interviews though, even we’re not that cruel…

The Britains Got Talent Buzzer is available for £6.99 from I Want One of Those.

Coming in five different rock style styles with three pre-programmed songs on them that range from Born To Be Wild to You Really Got Me, Hey There Deliah and Take It To The Limit these tunes can be blasted out through the internal speaker, or if you want to really annoy entertain people you can plug it into an external amp.
