Back in 2013, I wrote about 8 Wedding Presents I’d Like To Own– one of them was the incredibly cool Juke Case. Portable sound systems the Juke Case takes old suitcases and turns them into your own stereo! Now with the help of Pozible (and you!) they’re launching the JukeCase mini! A baby version of the original, you can connect the speaker to your phone or laptop via Bluetooth and amp up your listening experience! It plays for up to 20 hours without needing recharging and has a 30w amplifier. Check out Pozible to pledge!

Finally for our film of the week, the lovely Emma sent over this video made by The Dreamcatchers Wedding Films. She and her husband filmed a funny video which was shown before they entered their wedding reception as a surprise to their wedding guests! I hope you laugh as much as I did at this fun idea!
