I love Fred products, they are so much fun, and really appeal to my sense of humour.
Another new product from Fred, ninjabread men *giggle*
Shame it takes a few months for the products to turn up here in Australia, I wouldn’t mind some Nomskulls too.

This way you’re raising much-needed funds for the RSPCA and helping to get hens out of cages too!

I was a Ben & Jerry’s virgin..*gasp* yes..it is true. Living all the way out here (Western Sydney) we don’t get all those special goodies. While I must admit I am not a huge ice cream fan..boring old vanilla for me, when I was given the chance to try out some of the new pint flavours last week, I was a little excited.
We have featured a few of these in the past on That’s Noice. But the folks at Holycool have put together a list of some really awesome cake molds. Cakes need not be round and boring when you have these cake pans.

I think it’s safe to say we are very much team cat here at That’s Noice. Sure, dogs are great too..but nothing beats a kitteh..or 5.
But I think our feline family can be a little left out when it comes to shopping, especially in Australia. So many sites and products for dogs…what about the cats!
I recently came across Pampered Cats Playground and immediately placed an order. They have a great range of everything you need for your cats, but my favourite section was the toys.
2 toys the meezers and I thoroughly recommend is the….
Da Bird, This is the best cat toy EVER (well, apart from bugs and carboard boxes) It is a feather attachment on the end of a long stick that you wave about. Doesn’t sounds too exciting, does it? But when you move the feathers, they spin and ‘fly’ looking and sounding a bit like a real bird. We have had quite a few of these over the years. If you aren’t careful in hiding it, they will find it and trash it. I have had trouble finding them, due to the issues with feathers and Customs. Great price at $14, plus you can buy a bunch of different attachments for $5.
Dr Noys Swizzle Stick Another thing on a stick that induces aerial acrobatics, and sometimes some growling.
So check out Pampered Cats Playground (look past the site design) a great Aussie site for cat goodies, service was super friendly and fast.
Turn your fridge, or any magnetic surface into an iPhone!

We wrote about the Keepcup reusable coffee cups last year (I have actually just ordered some myself) but came across the BYO reusable coffee cup recently, and it looks really cool as well.
Did you know that most take away coffee cups are not recyclable and that Australians discard into landfill 1.36 million disposable cups a day. This is a phenomenal amount, imagine this figure globally!
So we all really need to do our part, and so no to the take away coffee cups by going reusable. It’s great to see Aussie companies coming out with great alternatives.
The BYO reusable coffee cup is another great Aussie product doing their bit to help us reduce coffee cups in landfills.
Made from silicone which is flexible but firm, it can withstand up to 200ºC heat but will remain cool to touch. You can use it for tea, coffee, soup..what ever…. Use it. Wash it. Use it over and over again.
They are available in a few different colour combos and come in 10oz ($10.95) and 15oz ($15.95)
Well, it certainly can’t hurt.
A delightful handmade card, sure to put a smile on any dial.
