A pick of the best for health and home

Here's a Pick of the best, the latest, the greenest, the quirkiest, the most luxurious... that money can buy.

Run Mister Run

If all the exercise you get is the bit when you move your hands around to strike an imaginary tennis ball on your Wii, it is probably time you got running, sir. Run like the wind on Technogym's Jog Now while you're watching episodes of South Park and listening to some cool music on its 15-inch Visio display through your iPod or its USB port. And if you decide to hop off the treadmill suddenly, then worry not, the Runner Detection System will automatically stop the running belt.

Pretty Listening

If looks are as crucial for you as your music, then Sony's MDR-EX42 in-ear headphones are the accessory for you. These stylish in-ears are embedded with Swarovski Zirconi in cherry pink colour. The Swarovski Zirconia also guarantees noise blocking features and has the capability of giving an influential bass stereo experience.

Dial M for Montblanc

If the Man Who Knew Too Much told us that you went North by Northwest and met some Strangers on a Train, then you would probably be a big time Alfred Hitchcock fan. And you might jump with joy if you got your hands on a limited Alfred Hitchcock 3000 fountain pen that comes with an 18K gold nib. There are 925 Sterling Silver fittings on the cap and barrel, and a booklet with the wise sayings of the director comes with the set. Maybe it would inspire you enough to write your own psychological thriller.
