Light Sleeper
The Light Sleeper is an ingenious product to help insomniacs get to sleep. Still at the prototype stage (we just wanted you to know about this useful and exciting development) we have employed award-winning Kate Evans, the inventor of Light Sleeper, to develop the product further.This will be an important and extremely useful creation for insomniacs, as research reveals that twelve million people experience at least three nights of poor sleep in an average week. The Light Sleeper will offer an alternative to potentially addictive sleeping tablets, as it is a soothing electro-mechanical device. Large numbers of people are averse to using tablets, so this provides another useful option.
Qone7
qOne7 will shortly become a major brand on the Internet, an easy-to-remember name which Quincom has registered.qOne7 will be selling an increasing range of really useful products from its web pages and which have been sourced abroad and are not available in the UK.
The criteria used by the Quincom team to rigorously assess each item were based on:
- Usefulness
- Quality
- Affordability
- Length of Life of the product
- Exclusivity
- To warrant inclusion in a small, but selective range
- Is not gimmicky or of no real use
Mothusi Crafts
Millions of artisans around the world work in the handcrafts sector, sometimes in very remote areas and unfortunately most of them live below the poverty line. For this reason Mothusi Crafts was set up to buy and import products into the UK to create employment opportunities and help with initiatives that help artisans develop their skills and maintain employment. We have carefully sourced organizations in India and Africa who either belong to or have the working practices of the International Fair Trade Organization (IFAT) or affiliated networks such as the Asia Fair Trade Forum (AFTF) and Cooperation for Fair Trade in Africa (COFTA). Each item is designed and created with the greatest of care and as everything is handmade every item is unique.
Action Ball
An active game to develop important skills while having fun. Action Ball is a game which uses a tough all-weather board and a ball. To play the game, throw the ball onto the board’s concave surface, which is designed with small bumps, to deflect the bouncing ball in unpredictable directions.Frequent playing of Action Ball develops better REFLEXES, EYE/HAND CO-ORDINATION, GROSS/FINE MUSCLES, SPATIAL PERCEPTION, ACCURACY, SELF-CONFIDENCE and PHYSICAL WELL-BEING. Importantly, it improves CONCENTRATION, as it requires constant involvement and alertness.
