Default Re: Any other plug collectors out there?

My daughter brought something that she had bought (sort of) for my grandkids (2&5)

I meant to photograph it but I forgot, so a description will have to suffice.

It was a small, child-size hair dryer with cartoon stickers. (I kid you not).

The plug was unremarkable, but the manufacturer had made two nods to safety.

One was a label stuck on the flex saying "This is not a toy", and the other was what I will call a piece of "mains plug apparel". It was a custom-made round plastic box (like a Tupperware box) into which you dropped the plug then screwed on the lid which had a mechanism the same as a childproof tablet bottle. There was a small slot that allowed the flex to exit the container.

Actually its small size makes it a good travel hairdryer, which I think was the main reason it was bought.
