Yesterday, we wrote about Target's Christmas palm tree, and it turns out that the retailers are showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to providing their customers with festive goodies. Amazon is also selling a Christmas lights phone charger so you can decorate on the go.

It's perfect if you have an insatiable urge to deck the halls all year round, or simply can't stand being anywhere decorated to a less than perfect standard during the holidays.

Measuring in at 50 inches long, the charger contains ten 10 LED multicoloured lights, which, naturally only come on when it's in use. And while it might be advertised as a Christmas product, it comes with the guarantee that it will last you all year round, and has a 12-month warranty.

Priced at just $14.99 on Amazon, the charger is compatible with most recent iPhone models.

The charger's product description reads: "Plug the USB into a computer or any charging port, lights up and provides a festive glow when plugged in as it charges your phone. You'll be excited all year."

One happy customer wrote: "I love this product! I saw it posted as a 'Christmas must-have' on some Facebook post. Went right to Amazon and was able to find it! Everyone at work is super jealous, and it looks so festive on my desk! It delivered faster than expected, and the bulbs don't get hot even after being plugged in for 12 hours! It's a great charger too, I'll definitely be using all year!"

Another remarked: "I was skeptical how well these would actually work, but they are amazing they are cute and charge the phone very well. I bought them for my friends and they love them. Side note, I wish the cords were a bit longer but they are true to their description!"

But don't fret if you're an Andriod user and want a light-up charger too. A similar product is available at Khol's.

As strange a phenomenon as it is, there are some people who bear an undeniable and very striking resemblance with their pets.

And while this typically applies to dog owners, there are some cat owners out there who are pretty much the spitting image of their kitty.

But if you happen not to look like a beloved pet, namely a cat, don't fret - because you could get your very own custom-made cat mask, courtesy of Shindo Rinka, a creative planning office in Japan.

Shindo Rinka have teamed up with modelling workshop 91 to launch a service which allows customers to essentially turn into their cats.

Perfect for proud cat ladies and, well, just about anyone who has a kitty that they adore.

And the process behind this unique project is simple - well, from a customer's perspective anyway.

All you need to do is take a photo of your cat and submit it to Shindo Rinka. The only difficult part of the process is the fact you'd have to part with 300,000 yen ($2,715) of your hard-earned cash if you're intent on having one of these.

When Shindo Rinka receive your photo, a team of skilled sculptors begin their work on the cat mask. The sculptors use the photo as a reference as they go about making a 3D mould covered in fur. The finer details and 'facial extremities' are added in by hand.

All you have to do is wait to until the cat mask - which will allow you to become an exact double of your own feline - is complete.

Anyone who's interested can buy the cat mask through a contact form on the Shindo Rinka website. For now, though, the link is only available in Japanese, and it's not yet clear if the service includes international shipping.

It's often said that over time pets end up subtly resembling their owners in looks and in character. For example, a beardy man with a crop of shaggy hair might find that his dog becomes just as hairy and matted as he is. A rotund person might find that their pet puts on a few extra pounds, while someone skinny might end up with an equally-emaciated cat.

But now it seems that people with body art can give their pets tattoos too, to make them look even more similar.

Obviously, it would be a bit cruel to use a needle to give your furry (or hairless) friend a regular inking. But you can circumvent the issue by purchasing these incredible bespoke tattoo sleeves online, which look pretty much identical to the real thing.

Artist and designer Airie McCready, who comes from California, has been creating stylish garments for house pets that make them look like they have tattoo sleeves.

The jumpers she makes for her hairless Persians have Chinese and Japanese inspired butterfly designs in the same skin colour as the cats to make them look as though they've been inked.

Commenting on her quirky products in a recent interview with the Metro, Aerie stated: "I have many sleeves for my own six cats, three Sphynxes and three Devon Rexes. The idea came to me when a friend showed me a silly fake tattoo sleeve and teased me how I did not have to get ink, I could have gotten one of these. I grabbed it from him and thought 'if only I knew how to sew.'"

She added: "It took a long time, but I figured out how to do it, it’s really delicate fabric.’ Aerie explained that she found a seller that offers prints with non-toxic ink and uses a material that is safe for the kitties too. Everything in my shop is made by myself or a contracted seamstress and I oversee each item.

"Two years ago at the Westminster Kennel Club, they had a 'meet the cats' event and even had the cats do an agility course. Misha, a Sphynx, wearing one of my Tattcat shirts won!"

Tesla owners driving home for Christmas faced hefty queues in the UK, after being forced to wait hours to charge their cars.

While electric vehicles are considered better for the environment as they have zero tailpipe emissions, the infrastructure for charging them on the go still appears to need some work.

Electric vehicle charging points have been popping up at an ever-increasing frequency over recent years, however, fast chargers can still be few and far between.

Those who were making long journeys across the UK to visit family over the Christmas period found that many Tesla charging spots had queues of drivers waiting to recharge their vehicles for up to six hours at a time.

Drivers took to social media to share videos and photos of the queues, with some reporting being stuck for several hours waiting to charge.

One user wrote: "Bedlam @WestmorlandServ Tebay today. 2hr 30m wait for a charge. Worst journey as @Tesla driver. Q now 40 deep!"

Another added: "In the UK today there were 6 hour queues for people to use a charger. The UK is just not ready for electric vehicles."

Tesla batteries can last at least 267 miles on a single charge - with the most extended range currently offered being 375 miles per full charge in the Model S, according to Way.com - however, this varies depending on certain factors including how the car is driven.

Regardless, many drivers making longer journeys will need to fill up - or recharge - at some point during their trip, and the Tesla Superchargers at service stations on the motorways in the UK proved to be hugely oversubscribed over the Christmas period.

One driver joked: "UK services this week have been insanely busy for Tesla charging, currently car 15 in a queue of over 20 ... but you can always rely on the British public to make an orderly queue."

Another Facebook user filmed a small army of Teslas queueing for the Tebay Southbound supercharger, telling others: "All our electric Tesla friends queueing up to charge up at Tebay Services on the post Xmas trip south," before adding it was a "struggle to park as very busy".

Tesla currently operates over 40,000 Superchargers, which allow drivers to recharge their batteries with 172 miles worth of power in just 15 minutes.

Most are located on major routes and motorways to allow drivers making longer journeys to keep going with minimal delay - providing they aren't all in use with a line of others also waiting, of course.

The Tesla app can also show drivers where Superchargers are available, as well as helping them monitor their own charge status.

Superchargers are also advertised to cost a "fraction" of what petrol or diesel would set you back - though both energy and fuel costs have increased in recent months - which has meant an ever-increasing amount of motorists are considering switching to electric vehicles.

If there are two things I love in this world, it is my dog and my noodles.

And every pet dog or cat in the world is worthy of a cozy bed that makes them feel as warm and content as a nice bowl of ramen (you can probably see where I'm going with this).

Well, now you can actually get a pet bed in the shape of a cup of noodles - complete with a lid.

Available on Amazon (Japan), the cup noodle beds have recently gone viral on social media thanks to a video of an adorable Shiba Inu called Yuki modeling the unique pet furniture.

Here's Yuki enjoying the bed:

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/n0qTVdKQKf4r0Qt/status/1258932656995102720]]

Seriously, I don't know what I want more after watching that video; a cup of ramen or a Shiba Inu.

From loose translations on the Amazon website, the beds are available for ¥4,700 (Japanese yen), which works out at around $44 USD.

Customers can choose from a variety of designs, based on their favorite noodle dish - whether that’s a vegetarian option with an egg or a tonkatsu ramen.

The product also comes with a cushion on the inside that has a very realistic noodle design, and "is removable and can be used alone".

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/n0qTVdKQKf4r0Qt/status/1258313322539016197]]

The lid is also lined with a metal frame, meaning it can be shaped to look like your dog is actually coming out of the noodle pot.

In the Amazon description, it states that the bed is to be used "for small animals such as small dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets."

The product description also details how great the beds look on Instagram (seriously), and I have to agree. What could amass more 'Like' than a doggy photoshoot in a giant noodle cup?

All we need now is a human-sized ramen bed and I'll be a happy man.

And for even more hilarity in the pet bed department, earlier this week we revealed how some people are purchasing IKEA children's doll beds and using them for their cats.

IKEA's £13 (roughly $15 USD) DUKTIG Doll's Bed is currently being sold with the intention of "[encouraging] make-believe play" for young children and their toys. Look, there's even a picture of a child playing with his doll on the website:

However, some cat owners have decided to use the mini-bed for another purpose entirely, and are instead using them for their cats.

And it's not just cats who are getting involved in the fun. There are even some rabbits getting treated to their own IKEA bed:

One five-star reviewer writes: "I use this for my rabbit she loves it! Although getting her up in the mornings from the bed is nearly impossible she hates leaving it lol. fantastic all you rabbit owners this is perfect"

And another happy customer writes: "I bought this cat bed from Ikea, she *loves* it. Good quality and safe (no sharp edges), raises her off the floor out of any draft. She even prefers it to the settee. We did put a plush cushion on it for her though, for comfort. Very easy to assemble. One of our best buys for her."
