Siri is the personal assistant you always wanted (in your purse or pocket).
You simply speak or type into the phone with a request like, “Find new restaurants in New York.” Speech is turned to text and the request is pushed to an appropriate service on the Web.

The possibilities are endless – book a cab, buy baseball tickets, search for family friendly events…Awsome!

We love the ingenious “eye-savers”, designed to protect your eyes from being poked out. This umbrella has it all, it just makes SENZ!
Available in black or red. $60 – $78 depending on size from Unica.
