If you’re a fan of watching Patrick McGoohan being chased by spheres in The Prisoner or you’re looking for a compact kitchen well the “O” might be just for you.

Amazingly running off a single plug (ideal for expos?) the “O” Kitchen has been designed by a Brazilian team.

The seven foot shiny sphere unfolds to reveal a complete working kitchen that includes a dishwasher, microwave, sink, refrigerator and even an extractor system.

There seems to be plenty of storage hidden in the TARDIS like space and even has room for garbage disposal and a fire alert system,.

Being gadgety you also get online access, MP3 functions and a digital cookbook system all via the main control panel.

Set out of the kitchen, click on the remote control and it all folds away neatly hiding all the washing-up before your other half arrives ;)

It measure 210 cm high, 460 cm wide when open – half the width when closed.

Just check out the gallery – genius!

Ok – we’re still in the crunch even though the Government says that we’re not.

Personally – I’m still not rich so buying the girlfriend some swanky jewellery is just not gonna happen. Even on Valentines Day!

I might be able to stretch to this rather swish looking beverage though (remember I’m just a musician!).

This must be in the running to be the girliest vodka ever created – so she’ll love it!

It’s pink, has flakes of real gold, and comes in a gorgeous jewel-shaped bottle.

The pink German vodka is infused with edible flakes of genuine 22 carat gold. It’s like a shimmering golden blizzard swirling around in a potent ocean of luxe pink liquor…. well, so says the blurb anyhow!

If this doesn’t win you something in return on Valentines Day – well, just drink it yourself and you probably wont care ;)

Slip your gentlemanly self over here and purchase one (or more) for the lady or ladies in question :)
