iShower
Singing is the shower comes natural to us all, but it doesn’t matter how much you turn up the volume on your radio or mobile phone, once you climb into the shower the music is drowned. This is why the iShower is possibly one of the coolest gadgets on the market. It’s simple and smart. The iShower allows you to pair your phone, or any Bluetooth enabled devices, so you can play music and shower to different playlists, depending on your mood. Bath time or pool time just got fun for the kids, and the whole family. The iShower has sticky bracket that fits onto your shower wall, or its moveable arm allows it to stand upright next to the bathtub, or even outside at the pool. The best way to describe the iShower is smart engineering. The digital display also keeps track of time, making sure you are never late for that morning meeting. R1 299 at iStores countrywide.
