The album is titled ‘Surfify’ and every time a track is played from it, Spotify donates a small royalty fee to SurfAid. Playing the album doesn’t cost the listener anything, so Spotify users are being encouraged to listen to the Surfify album as many times as possible, and to share it with friends. The more plays, the more donations to SurfAid. In fact, play the album on repeat overnight and you’ll be literally donating in your sleep. Even if you’re unable to listen, play it on mute and you’re still raising money. www.surfaid.org/Surfify Blunt Umbrellas have launched the world’s first ‘unloseable’ umbrella. The team in New Zealand teamed up with Silicon Valley’s latest sensation ‘Tile’ to create the Blunt + Tile umbrella – a brolly that can be tracked when misplaced! According to Tile, the average person misplaces more than 3,000 items every year, and spends 60 hours searching for them. Unsurprisingly, umbrellas are among the top five most commonly misplaced possessions. Each Blunt + Tile umbrella contains a ‘Tile’ which can then be tracked using the Tile App for iPhone and Android. The team at Blunt have crafted a stylish limited edition black trim design, available in three colour accents. Available in XS Metro (RRP $99 AUD) and Classic (RRP $124 AUD) styles. www.bluntumbrellas.com.au ZERO JAPAN TEAPOTS Beautifully designed and individually tested, Zero Japan teapots are perfect for those new to tea drinking – or long time devotees.

Made from porcelain with a stainless steel infuser suspended from the lid rim, there is a design and size for every occasion.
