    The latest headphones from Sennheiser – The Perfect Gift for Loved Ones

    Finding a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day is so difficult. But here I want to recommend some ideas – the latest headphones and earbuds from Sennheiser are great gift choices for loved ones. Sennheiser has pioneered how we enjoy sound for the last 75 years, and more recently have been leading the charge in high-quality wireless technology across a variety of price ranges.
    MOMENTUM Wireless – $399.95
    These wireless headphones feature comfortable leather ear pads with three different noise cancellation settings using patented NoiseGard® technology, for the ultimate listening experience. When you factor in Bluetooth technology, a TILE integration so you never lose them, one-tap access to voice assistants, 17-hour battery life, and a collapsible frame for comfort and convenience, the MOMENTUM Wireless becomes the obvious choice for on-the-go listeners who want a comfortable, high-quality listening experience with seamless performance.

    MOMENTUM True Wireless – Currently on sale for $229.95 (reg. $299.95)
    If you prefer earbuds to headphones, then MOMENTUM True Wireless brings you all the great features of MOMENTUM Wireless in a more compact format. These award-winning earbuds also come with a premium charging case for 12 hours of battery life. Transparent Hearing mode, auto on/off, and two-mic beam technology also ensure high-quality noise pickup in even the noisiest settings. They work with Bluetooth 5.0 and are voice assistant compatible. More info here: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/truewireless-details

    The clever ‘dog bowl that stays’ now available in both Large and Small sizes – because mini mutts are messy too!

    Following the incredible success of PetWeighter™ Large, this ingenious dog bowl is now available in a Small size – catering for the needs of puppies and more compact canine breeds. Produced by award-winning British family business, Peak Pet Products, PetWeighter Small comes in the same six contemporary shades as its bigger counterpart to complement all modern decors and interiors, and costs $24.99 from Amazon.com, PetWeighter.com and authorised pet retailers.

    First launched in 2016, PetWeighter is an innovative product that has revolutionized feeding time for four-legged friends. The clever invention features a unique design to prevent the spills and mess that can often result from an ‘ever-moving’ food or drinking bowl. It also ensures a constant supply of water, whatever the season*. The original PetWeighter Large was the brainchild of Peak Pet Products owner, Rob Peacock, who created the product for his much-loved Schnauzer, Charlie. When Charlie was diagnosed with diabetes, Rob looked for a way to stop him tipping up his bowl, while providing his canine pal with access to plenty of water throughout the day. The rest is history and PetWeighter was born!

    Strong and sturdy, the two-part PetWeighter Small comprises a removable, food-grade plastic bowl on top of a base that can be filled with sand, water or a combination of the two. This means the bowl will not move when a dog nudges it, and stops the container and contents from traveling across the kitchen or garden. It will also stay put if a clumsy human kicks it by accident or a mischievous child knocks into it while playing on the floor.

    Simply unscrew the cap, fill and then secure again, replacing the bowl on the top, for a robust receptacle that will always ‘sit’ and ‘stay’! PetWeighter Small weighs in at just over 15lb when filled with a mix of sand and water – heavy enough to prevent food and water spills by even the perkiest of pups!

    The PetWeighter Small top bowl is detachable for washing or filling with food and can be placed on a dishwasher rack for a thorough, hygienic clean. The upper bowl is then easily aligned to the base and locked straight back into place with a simple click.

    The rounded corners of PetWeighter make it conveniently chew-resistant, while the bowl itself has no dirt-attracting cracks or crevices. As well as providing ongoing access to water, PetWeighter is great news for arthritic dogs** at meal times as its elevated height (approx. 6.6 inches) removes the need to stoop down, which can put stress on joints, necks and shoulders, particularly in older animals.

    PetWeighter Small is available to buy in six modern color combinations: Red, Pale Blue, Baby Pink or Hot Pink with a mid-gray base, or Pearly White and Platinum with a dark gray base. Customers can also purchase a spare, replacement or different-colored top bowl separately for just $12.99.

    Rob Peacock, owner of Peak Pet Products Ltd, said, “When we first developed PetWeighter, we were initially serving the needs of larger hounds, who are notoriously ungainly when they eat and drink. But following many requests from customers around the world, we identified that smaller breeds can be just as disorderly with their dinner. So we responded with the PetWeighter Small and hope it’s the answer to a cleaner kitchen for all!”

    By the way, PetWeighter won the Silver accolade in the international PetQuip Industry Awards 2018 in the category ‘Pet Product of the Year – Health and Technical’. Hungry for more information? Please visit www.petweighter.com.

    PetWeighter Small dimensions/capacity Height with base approx. 6.6 in x width 7.5 in x depth 7.5 in Food capacity 7oz Weight with water and sand combination in base approx. 15lb 5oz

    • Owners should ensure that bowls are filled regularly to ensure a constant supply of fresh drinking water.
    • Before taking any specific actions in relation to a pet’s health or behavioral issues, PetWeighter would advise owners to seek independent advice from a veterinary practitioner.

    Infinite Objects: GIPHY Valentines and Creator Tool Launch

    I want to share a news about GIPHY, where Lulu worked two years ago for their international content! Today, Infinite Objects—the company making “video prints” that launched in October 2019—is announcing the launch of its Valentine’s Day collaboration with GIPHY as well as the public beta of the Infinite Objects Creator Tool, their on-demand video printing service that lets customers upload, customize and purchase a framed video of their favorite memories for the first time.

    To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Infinite Objects and GIPHY have joined forces to make purchasing and gifting a GIF possible for the first time. Part of GIPHY’s mission is to push the boundaries of what communicative content looks like, which aligns with IO’s pursuit of exploring novel ways video can be gifted, collected, and experienced. Now users across the globe can finally own and hold their favorite GIPHY content.

    At GIPHY, we’ve always dreamed of bringing GIFs into the physical world so they could be shared IRL. Infinite Objects makes this dream a reality. They are making the real world more animated and we couldn’t be more thankful for that.

     Alex Chung, Founder, GIPHY

     

    In addition to the GIPHY offering, Infinite Objects is also launching a public beta of their on-demand video printing service. Whether it be a moving moment from your wedding day, your baby’s first steps, an incredible overseas adventure with your best friends, or quality time with your precious pup, Infinite Objects commemorates your video content in the same permanent way as a framed photograph.

    Today, video is the content we value the most – be it on Instagram, YouTube, film, or television. Yet moving images are treated differently than printed media. Video has been trapped inside our phones, laptops, and TVs – until now. Being able to forever memorialize a personal video is long overdue, so we’re excited to provide the opportunity to turn a beautiful moving moment into physical form. It’s perfect for all of life’s occasions; birthdays, vacations, graduations, and every holiday, including Valentine’s Day!

     Joe Saavedra, Founder and CEO, Infinite Objects

    The beta will be available for a short time—while supplies last—and will offer users the chance to print their videos in both a large (8.4 x 5.7 x 0.9”) and small (6.35 x 4.45 x 0.9”) object. The IO Creator Tool will allow for edits such as speed, zoom, rotation, loop, and color filters and is accessible via web on mobile and desktop at create.infiniteobjects.com beginning on January 30th.
