I love my Philips Living Colours LED Light.

It's funky for a party, adds some ambiance for a night on the couch or just great fun for my 5 year old son to mess with!

My favourite thing on the site is the Powertraveller Powergorilla Portable Charger for Laptops, Mobile Phones, iPods. It would be so handy for traveling and business.

However if I won the voucher it probably wouldnt be on the top of my list to puchase as there are so many other useful things on the site that are higher on the priority list. It is probably the coolest thing on the site though!

I got my mam the Philips rechargable tealights 6 pk before christmas and they were ideal to put in all the upstairs windows for Christmas. They looked like the candle in the windows from the outside and she didn't have to worry about them catching fire like the candles she usually lights. Also saved on climbing the stairs!

Tough choice, as I like the look of the Gelert Wind Up and Solar Power Radio
but after listening to some Lyric FM, I would want to party and then I would need the Solar Centre Solar Party Lights.

If I had to pick, I would go with the Party Lights, I could have silent parties

hi, I use the
SMJ Remote Control Socket

INFO [URL="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ctl00$_nestedContent$_mainpageContent$_productFamilyListingView$_productFamilyDataList$ctl07$ctl00$BuyNowLink$_addToCart','')"]BUY[/URL] remote to turn on/off my computer network etc downstairs when I have finished working upstairs at night. It saves me the trip down in the cold and I know that everything is off, safe and not costing me any power.

My favourite product would have to be the Chimney Balloon - a great solution to a very simple but difficult to remedy problem... I'm fed up with wrapping a cushion in a towel and stuffing it in the front of my fireplace. It's unsightly and messy!

Has to be the LED Lenser Jogger Light, got it before Christmas, I love running and staying active but it is hard to see when it gets dark so early in the evenings! With the jogger light I can run all night if I like, and it's great to see obstructions on the path so no more falling on my ass

Never run out of Oil again ensuring no particularly cold weeks at home! While at the time also helping to prevent nasty and annoying Airblocks in the system! Easily installed too so no extra costs there!

Solar Centre Solar Fairy Lights is so clever.
Never again trying to find a place to bring in the lead to get power to the lights. Just put them up whereever you feel like - and no energy wasting guilt. Sweet.

It's great to see that the ESB has such a commitment to stocking cutting edge items that greatly increase the chances of someone escaping from a fire. I'm sure ye could stock lots of novelty items and make a large profit, but this is clearly not the priority here.

Everyone should have this!

My Dad swears by this for his oil tank so he never runs out. His old model recently died so I was happy to tell him that I saw it for sale at the ESBstore.ie. He said he would do a price comparison with a local supplier and it turned out to be cheaper to get it delivered from ESBstore.ie. He was glad to have it during the recent cold spell.

The 'Airless Automatic De-Aerator' valve for radiators looks like it would save a lot of work. I'd buy a pack if the delivery wasn't so damn expensive (nothing a €250 voucher wouldn't fix ).

Oh lads... Oooohhh Lads... So many shiny things on that website...
But the one I want absolutely, positively, quantifiably has to be this beast of a piece of equipment;

For two really really good reasons,
1, It's the only thing I can afford.
and
2, I could really do with some bright ideas.. I think this might help.

LED bulbs have to get my vote for the best of the store.

As a electrician I'm constantly trying to convince people to spend the extra bit on LED bulbs. They are gonna save the world some time soon.

Shame people just see the one time payment instead of the countless years of savings afterwords.

In light of recent local events I would have to say my favourite product is the Ei Carbon Monoxide Alarm
I think that everybody should have one. I am originally from the United States where carbon monoxide detectors are pretty standard, I don't think the need for them is being taken seriously here, and I don't think enough people realize they are just as important as a fire alarm if not more so.
