Stuff you didn't know
you wanted.

The XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro is our Hero today because it finally solves the "where on earth do I put the tripod" dilemma that plagues every impromptu movie night. It's for those of us who want to turn a blank wall-or a ceiling, if you're feeling particularly lazy-into a cinema without it looking like a building site.

I've spent the evening projecting onto my bedroom ceiling, which is peak "I've given up on adulthood" luxury, and the integrated gimbal stand makes it ridiculously easy to aim. It's the Hero because it's a projector that actually understands we don't all live in a perfectly calibrated home theatre; sometimes we just want to watch Succession in bed.

With Google TV baked in, you don't even need to faff about with dongles or cables, making it the most streamlined way to ignore your responsibilities in high definition.

We've all reached that stage of life where a particularly colourful sparrow is the highlight of our Tuesday, and the Bird Buddy PRO is here to enable that obsession. It's the Supporting act that turns your garden into a high-stakes wildlife documentary, complete with close-up "selfies" of birds that look like they're about to drop the hottest album of 2026.

The AI identification is the real star, pinging your phone to let you know a Blue Tit has arrived, saving you from having to squint through a pair of dusty binoculars. It's for the person who wants to be a naturalist from the comfort of their sofa, preferably with a cuppa in hand.

The solar roof means you can stop being the person who has to climb a ladder every three days to charge a bird feeder, which is a win for both your safety and your dignity.

For those of us who feel the pathological need to mark our territory on every bit of kit we own, the ARROWMAX is the Supporting tool of choice. It's for the person who wants to engrave their name on their AirPods, their fancy chef's knife, or perhaps just a very expensive pebble, because why not?

It's a sleek, pen-shaped device that makes you feel like a sophisticated artisan rather than someone who is just bored and has access to a motor and a diamond bit. I've spent the morning engraving "Property of a Genius" onto my stapler, and the OLED display made me feel far more professional than I actually am.

It's a bit of niche fun that sits in your desk drawer until the moment you decide that your luggage tags aren't "bespoke" enough.

The "office microwave" is a place of unspeakable horrors, and this Crockpot is the Supporting device that saves you from that communal petri dish. It's for the person who is tired of their lunch being half-frozen and half-radioactive, and would rather have their stew gently warmed by their own desk.

It's essentially a very small, very portable slow cooker that reclamation your lunch hour from the queue in the staff room. I've been using it to heat up last night's curry, and the lack of "microwave rubberiness" is a genuine revelation for my tastebuds.

It looks like a stylish tiffin box rather than a piece of catering equipment, which is vital if you want to maintain a shred of dignity in the open-plan office.
