Do you honestly think slick operators like Captain Kirk, Buck Rogers and Robocop stick scribbled messages on the fridge door? Course they don’t. They’re from the future for gawd’s sake. So don’t you think it’s time you dispensed with the sticky notes and entered the 21st century with the Digital Video Memo. It’s the ultimate fridge magnet!
Designed with pen-dodging dummies in mind, this idiot-proof magnetic gizmo allows anyone who can press a button to record a single 30 second video message. It’s a doddle – no pens or scraps of paper required. ‘By the time you see this I’ll have eaten your Pot Noodle and finished your beers. Sorry’
Charge via USB
Once you’ve recorded your message a flashing LED alerts passers by. All they have to do is press the ‘play’ button – easy! Think of it as a high tech sticky note with a 1.5” LCD screen, built-in vid cam and USB rechargeable battery. Actually, don’t – it’ll make your brain ache. ‘Your dinner’s in the dog and our relationship’s in the bin. See ya!’
Metal stand included
With this nifty whatchamacallit stuck to the fridge, never again will you have to fumble around for a pen and something to write on. ‘Aha, eyeliner and grandad’s death certificate, that’ll do nicely.’ It really is ideal for memos, reminders or moments when you just can’t say it face to face. ‘Your loo won’t flush and…well, can you call a plumber?’ You’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
As well as fridges, you can stick the Digital Video Memo to filing cabinets or plop it on your desk. ‘Sorry, I won’t be in today ‘cos I’m all sniffly…hang on, Columbo’s starting.’ You can even leave a soppy ikkle message for someone special: ‘Step away from the fridge, your backside’s bigger than a beach ball.’ Or something similar. The possibilities are endless. Note to self: Buy a Digital Video Memo immediately.

I bought this as a surprise for my boyfriend as I normally leave a written note in the morning on my way to work. Its one of the best buys because it saves paper and gives a really nice personal touch. I usually wave, waffle on about something silly, blow a kiss at the camera and say 'I love you' then and go off to work feeling nice. He tells me that when he watches it that he says 'I love you back'. Gets my day off to a great start. Definitely recommended : ). Sharon Regan, Essex - 2nd October 2010
As a follow up to my first review... the product does stop flashing after you view a message, but only if it is switched off, then switched on again to view the message. Makes sense. :o). Sarah, Hemel Hempstead - 21st December 2009
Again, thumbs up to Firebox for an efficient delivery, complete with sweets :-)
I have just been playing around with the video memo and although the quality of the image is not amazing, it certainly serves its purpose. It is so easy to use, anyone will pick it up in no time.
I heard reviews from other sites saying that you have to shout to have the sound recorded but I found that speaking normally is adequate. Overall I'm happy, although a slightly better image with better colours and contrast would have been preferred! (be warned that it is nowhere near as crisp as the images on the website suggests).
