A shelf that doubles as Speakers too
Those having extra change to spare this Christmas can bring about some discreet audio cheer from these Bedford Smart Wall-Mounted Speaker Shelf Unlike James Bond, this shelf reveals its dual character quite evidently. Along with being a wall shelf, it touts two stereo (1" Tweeter & 4" Woofer) quality speakers that connect to your mp3 / ipod / iphone headphone jack. There's plenty of speakers in my house, but if you want to puzzle your holiday guests for a bit, you could try to hang this on your wall. US$80 (sale price).
