Well, not any more - now with a simple and deeply satisfying pull on the Can Crusher, your bulky can gets well and truly mashed.

Two Carat Cup — £11.99
True princesses would never deign to drink from anyone else's mug, and heaven forbid them having to remove their jewellery to drink from their own. In steps the 2 Carat Cup. Not only does it glam up your digit when you're quaffing your tea or coffee, but used tactically in front of your boyfriend it might even elicit the required response of imminent knee bending. Alternatively of course you could give it to your girlfriend and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. A bit of crafty bling to...
Rainbow in my Room — £24.99
This graceful arching projector will bring a rainbow into your room without all the inconvenience of a thunderstorm drenching the carpets. A sunken series of LEDs in the arc shine at special mirror coated surface on the base of the unit, which in turn projects a beautiful rainbow onto your wall. No sunshine or showers needed, and whilst there's unlikely to be a pot of gold spontaneously appearing at the end of rainbow, it's very beautiful to look at, and kids love it. For best results use it in a...
Emergency Phone Charger — £6.99
There are all sorts of mobile chargers out there, but this is about the most compact, ludite friendly, and neatly designed one we've ever seen. Consisting of a sleek blue metal tube, you simply pop in an AA battery and plug it into your phone for an extra two hours talk time. This new version will also charge up any iPod. Snappy eh? Great design, excellent idea and as cheap as cod and chips. Compatible with the following devices: Mot. V3 Series: E770V/ E1070/ L2/ L6/ L7 SLVR/ U6 PLEB/ V230/ V...
My Life Story — £34.99
Watching your little one grow day by day and year by year can be a heart warming experience - but it's all over in the blink of an eye and you'll find you've forgotten so many of the special moments. One minute they're crawling on the carpet, and the next, they're er, crawling on the carpet groaning with a splintering hangover. If it were a perfect world nobody would dare miss a minute of their young one's life, which is why some sentimental soul has created a 100 year diary so you can keep track...
Twister Beach Towel — £19.99
Ah the days spent bending yourself around chums on a smelly plastic mat, such memories? Back then we probably wouldn't have appreciated the improvement of being able to do it in the sun, on a beach, and in swimwear. The Twister Beach Towel, history doesn't relate any greater upgrade to a product, with the possible exception of the bread slicer. This huge towel is not for drying yourself with (though it does that too), but for getting skimpy and stretchy on whilst slathered in sun oil. You may not...
Tandem Skydive — £269.00
It can take a lot of training before you are allowed to jump from 13,000 feet, unless of course you take the short cut, and here it is. All you have to do for this mind blower is let yourself be strapped to a pro skydiver (not as uncomfortable as it may sound), sit in a plane as it climbs up to altitude, and then take the best passenger ride on the planet. You won't need sky diving experience - just a 30 minute briefing before you jump. You'll be securely strapped to your instructor and, moments...

Nothing — £3.99
What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant. Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not...
BBQ Sword — £14.99
When you want to En Garde your sausage, the BBQ Sword cuts a swathe through more sensible BBQ tools. If d'Artagnan was ever to get into alfresco cuisine, then surely this ludicrous piece of BBQ paraphernalia would be his weapon of choice. Whether you fancy yourself as the fifth musketeer, or perhaps the next Zorro (it strangely comes with a cut-out mask) then there can be no better way to sear your sausage than with this seriously silly sabre. It measures 48.5 cm long, has a wooden handle, and the...
Candy Posing Pouch — £4.95
Were it not for spiralling demand and a bombardment of emails, we would happily have let the charming Candy Posing Pouch pass us by, but why fly in the face of public opinion? Staggeringly just as popular as the Candy G-String and Candy Bra (my, how sweet-toothed we all are), this edible little number is blissfully oxymoronic, being tasteless and full of taste at the same time. The 330 fruit-flavoured (thank goodness) sweets that make up this bedroom treat are fat-free, and are manufactured in a...
Drumstick Pencils — £4.99
The Drumstick Pencils are, this will come as no surprise, pencils that look like drumsticks - or is it the other way around? If you're just whiling away your time at work whilst waiting for your band to be discovered, then let the day pass a little easier with these pencils that transform your desk into an alternative drum kit.
Rubik's Cube — £10.99
With more than 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (that's 43 quintillion) configurations and only one solution, the Rubik's Cube is still the best puzzle ever invented. Almost impossible to put down - there's even a Cubaholics Anonymous - the cube is an icon of design, and is the best-selling puzzle in the world. The current world record is an astonishing 7.08 seconds. There are also records for doing it one-handed, currently 17.90 seconds, and believe it or not doing it blindfolded (why?) at 2 minutes ...
Glow Brick — £19.99
The Glow Brick has to be the next best thing to remote-controlled lighting. In fact, we'll stick our neck out and say that it's even better, because you don't have to lift a finger to switch it on. A strangely lovely phosphorescent light bulb is entombed in a clear acrylic brick, which lounges about by day, quietly soaking up solar energy, then takes centre stage by night. At dusk, the light starts glowing all green and mysterious, showing an awesome staying power throughout the darkest hours. The...
Baby Sshh Bee — £14.99
A toy for babies that's designed to stop them crying. Developed in collaboration with Japan Acoustic Lab. 2 modes to distract and soothe your baby - just push the button and watch your baby become fascinated by their new toy.

The Bee has a squeaky tummy, dangly legs and crinkly wings for your baby to...
Frog to Prince — £2.99
The saying 'You need to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince' may well be true, but it's fraught with pitfalls, not least the fact that they don't taste too good and many of them can be poisonous. Snogging amphibians has never been that attractive a prospect, so what's needed is the ability to improve your hit rate, enabling you to keep your pond stalking to a minimum. Somewhere there are people who worry about this sort of thing, which is in itself rather worrying, but also quite sweet - and...
Speeding Grandads — £3.99
Stanley and Arthur may be getting on a bit, but age has not curbed their enthusiasm to feel the need for speed. These two hi-octane octogenarian speedsters are ace contenders for the pavement pentathlon. Pull them back and release them on their unique fast-track race against time. Each speedway geezer sits on a mini scooter complete with oxygen tanks to fuel their enthusiasm. One pull back and off they'll whiz, but who's got what it takes, Stanley or Arthur? We've no idea as they look remarkably...
Picnic Table Condiment Set — £14.99
At first you might wonder why on earth you'd want a picnic table impaled by a five foot high bottle of ketchup, and frankly you wouldn't be alone. What on earth were we thinking? OK, so some BBQ food could do with a bit of sauce to cover up the charred bits, but really, just how much ketchup and mustard do you need, it can't be healthy to have quite that much. Ah! I've just been informed that I may have made a slight scale miscalculation. It appears that it's not so much that the ketchup etc. is...
Cat-a-pult — £9.99
Dogs love to chase cats, but it's a fruitless exercise that without fail ends in disappointment for the poor things. The trouble is that cats are faster, nimbler and, loathe as dog owners may be to admit it, considerably brighter. Why let your dog suffer the constant and inevitable crushing failure of cat chasing when you could guarantee a win every time? The Cat-a-pult ensures that old fido will get a good work-out, experience for the first time what it's like to actually catch a cat, and of course...
Moon In My Room — £24.99
The Moon in My Room is one small step for technology, and one giant leap for fun lighting. The Moon is an accurate curved relief of the real thing, and is designed to be mounted on your bedroom wall. Using a mini remote control, you can control the phases of the moon and phase through twelve stages from Waning Crescent through Waxing Gibbous (don't you just love the sound of that?) to New Moon. It's powered by just four AA batteries (with 2 AAA's in the remote) and comes with a CD giving you an audio...
Pick Your Nose Cups — £4.99
Until now, picking your nose at a party was a massive faux pas. With these daft party cups, picking your nose is actively encouraged. Each paper cup has one of twelve different shaped and sized noses printed on it, and in such a way so that when you're swigging from it, it looks as though the hooter depicted on the cup is your own nose. Utterly pointless of course, but what a great alternative to boring party cups - it's a kind of party rhinoplasty, if there is such a thing. For extra comedy value...
RC Tarantula — £19.99
Creepy, crawly, hairy-legged beasties never fail to freak out even the manliest of men, especially when there's a danger something might climb up your trouser leg. Now it's your turn to take control and manipulate the screams. This RC Tarantula is completely at your control, so you can develop a stealth attack for the more unsuspecting victim or declare all out war as your spider tirelessly stalks your person of choice. It might not win you any friends and you probably won't be invited back next...

Money To Burn — £9.99
When thinking of the super rich you know someone's truly made it when they can casually stroll over to their fireplace, resplendent in velvet smoking jacket, brandy in hand, exquisite Cuban cigar clamped firmly in mouth, reach casually into their pocket and toss a wodge of £50 notes onto the fire. Yes, it's irresponsible and illegal (her Maj really doesn't like having her picture go up in flames) and, if we're being honest and taking into account all the good that money could potentially do, it's...
Fire Bucket Ashtray — £6.99
Some people, not content with the smoking ban, have taken things one step further and banned smoking from their houses banishing smokers to the back garden. And good on them, we say. It's bad enough having a house smelling of spilt rioja, chips, dips and beer after a weekend soiree without having to fish cigarette butts from every glass and plant-pot, while desperately trying to eradicate the stale smell of nicotine from your lovely antique curtains. What's more, smoking is a fire hazard and no ashtray...
Lightblade Umbrella — £19.99
When the weather's been corrupted by the dark side (as it often is on this sunny isle of ours) what better way to keep yourself dry than with the Lightblade Umbrella? At first glance it looks just like any other ordinary umbrella, but one click of the button on the handle will illuminate the shaft in a bright flash of light that's sure to scare off those evil pith helmet wearing bad guys, just waiting to pounce in the rain. Or it might just make you look super cool on your commute to work. Stand...
Paintballing — £49.00
Dress to kill. Roll about in the countryside. See your friends get really upset as colours erupt across their body. Clad in ninja-style coveralls and matching hood, with a gas-powered semi-automatic weapon at your side, you'll feel every inch the smirking assassin. All equipment is included, excluding nerves of steel, stealth and lethal precision. Your various missions will see you dodging exploding pellets, gunning down the enemy in simulated skirmishes, and crawling through the undergrowth searching...
Plug Mug — £9.99
There are few things more annoying than seeing your favourite mug wrapped up in the warm embrace of another person, which is why this idea is such a brilliant one. Never fear mug misuse again with this revolution in mug security - a small but rather vital hole in the side of this coffee cup renders the mug useless without its plug, which, with its handy key ring attachment, remains with you until your next tea break. Sheer Genius. Mind you don't lose the plug though, otherwise you may find that you...
Vinturi Wine Aerator — £39.99
We all enjoy a bottle of wine from time to time, but if you want to enjoy it properly you need to let it breathe*. That's why the last glass of wine out of the bottle always tastes better than the first (and here was us thinking it was because we were drunk). The Vinturi Wine Aerator makes your wine taste fantastic from the first sip. It's remarkable how easy this gadget is to use - you simply hold it over your glass and pour wine into the top. The wine gets filtered through the gizmo (it's all very...
Knife Block — £59.99
Well, isn't this the best knife block you've ever seen in your life? Forget bland polished beech, this is award winning stuff. Designed by the Italian design guru Raffaele Iannello, the 'Voodoo' - or as we like to call it the 'All Men Are Bastards' knife block, is destined to find its place among the greats in the top design museums of the world. It comes complete with a set of 5 stainless steel knives: a paring knife; bread knife; carving knife and a large and small chopping knife. Each of the five...
Frozen Smiles — £4.99
Give your drink some bite with these ludicrous 'Frozen Smiles' ice moulds. Try filling them with different coloured drinks - or if you really want to give Grandpa a scare use milk - whatever you fill them with, they're a sure fire way to stop someone nicking your chilled bevy. These cool gnasher moulds are made from easy pop-out silicone to ensure a perfect set of jaw dropping frozen molars every time.
Instant Snow in a Can — £3.99
A sachet of snow sealed in a Christmassy can. Just add water and you'll soon have more snow than you'll know what to do with. It dehydrates after a couple of days making it very easy to vacuum up. Spray or add more water on to keep the snow going for longer. 20g of powder makes 1.5 litres of snow. Keep the powder out of the reach of children. Avoid inhalation or contact with the eyes. Suitable for ages 14 years+. Size of tin: 9 x 6.5cm.
Laser Airzooka — £19.99
You can't swing a cat these days without knocking something over that, in some way, has benefited from laser technology. Just imagine how many more things you could knock over if the cat had a laser targeting system strapped to its head. Bearing this in mind the people at the IWOOT armoury have decided to update the office arsenal. Without further ado (or aimless rambling), allow us to present the Laser Airzooka. It's the same bucket shaped, high-tech, soft combat, high velocity air cannon that you...
The Big Bang Speaker — £24.99
Blast out your tunes with The Big Bang Speaker. We've seen loads of iPod and desktop speakers in our time but NONE of them have looked as cool as this. It looks like an Inspector Clouseau style bomb and when it comes to sound it packs a mighty punch. Its cartoonesque design isn?t just for show, either - it?s been acoustically optimised so that its two high quality speakers deliver clear and crisp sounds whether you?re hooked up to your MP3 player or laptop. You can connect practically anything with...
IQ Test — £19.99
A sealed two hour IQ test designed to measure your general intelligence. The test is compiled by IQ expert Philip Carter.

Suitable for ages...
Boxing Grannies — £9.99
Edna and Doris have upped their game. There was a time when just racing each other was enough to satisfy their competitive streaks, but no longer. Casting aside their Zimmers in favour of a pair of stout boxing gloves, this now world famous pair of noble and aged battlers is stepping into the ring. All that lifting of tea cups and hefty biscuits has given them some great upper body strength, and the time has come for them to find out who's the top Granny. With an upper cut to strike terror into the...
Bug Zapper — £9.99
We're fortunate in our little corner of the world, that when it comes to bugs, they are for the most part of a manageable size. A good half of the IWOOT team, however, come from the other side of the planet (though quite often it seems from another planet entirely) where bugs take on a whole new scale. They're serious bugs, often the size of small towns (well, not quite), the sort of bugs in fact that require a S.W.A.T team. So when the Bug Zapper first appeared in the building there was a flurry...
Ergo Digital Luggage Scale — £19.99
The end of excess baggage charges. A portable design so you can slip into your luggage for use on return journeys. The scales have a large digital display so it's super clear to read.

The weighing process is easy - attach the strap to your object...
ATM Bank — £24.99
Wouldn't it be ideal to have a cash machine in your front room? There's nothing worse than having to walk half a mile down the road in grotty weather to pick up your very own money. This nifty mini ATM Machine is the piggy bank of the new millennium. Every time you make a deposit the ATM keeps a running total giving you an account balance you can keep tabs on on a regular basis. Withdrawing money couldn't be easier, just pop the card in the slot, enter your PIN and select the amount you need. The...
Wind-up Racing Royals — £9.99
One must always ensure that one is sufficiently supplied with toys to amuse one, and these Wind Up Royals are the perfect answer. These Wind Up Royals are ridiculous, anarchic (in rather a tame way), painfully funny and will probably be worth an absolute fortune on the Antiques Roadshow in the year 2308. Her nibs, Mr Gaffe, the tree hugger and his fluff all shuffle along in their finery regally waving at the poor people. Create the ultimate 'Royal Enclosure' race, will ERII cede to POW? Will PP slip...
Wind Up Walkie Talkies — £59.99
Following hot on the heels of wind-up radios, torches, and phone chargers come the Wind Up Walkie Talkies. With all the functionality of battery ridden chatterboxes such as a 3Km range, 8 channels, LCD display screen and being generally pretty darn rugged, these Walkie Talkies are, as the name suggests, powered by winding them up. The dynamo mechanism knocks past dynamo efforts into a cocked hat, making it simple with just a few cranks to get connected. No longer need you worry about failing batteries...
Giant Stress Ball — £9.99
The office is an insane environment and the stress balls of yesteryear just aren't equipped to deal with the new millennium. The Giant Stress Ball is perfect for those hectic Mondays when you just want to tell the boss exactly where he can stick his proposal. Grab it firmly with both hands, give it a good squeeze and you'll instantly feel the pressure lift a little. It's better than tearing your hair out and won't result in baldness. Then it's back to work with a clear head, safe in the knowledge...
Mathmos Thaw — £24.99
Mathmos Thaw allows you to create your very own (oxymoronic) ice candle. The brainchild of designer Mathew Jackson. A sleek, stainless steel design. A white silicone mould. A plastic ice cap. A tea light candle. Simply place the water-filled mould in the freezer overnight (required freeze time approximately 8 hours). The ice then becomes a unique thawing shade for the tea light. The ice takes about 3 hours to thaw and the water melts back into the mould.
I'm As Big As' Height Chart — £9.99
Whether you've got your head in the clouds, or at knee level, it's always fun finding out how tall you are, but mere metric measurements are just too dull. Enter the 'I'm As Big As...' wall chart which provides you with a ludicrous height guide. Next time someone asks you how tall you are, instead of the dull 5 foot 6 reply, you can tell them you're as tall as Tutankhamun, or a Blue Whale's Heart, the length of the Statue of Liberty's Nose, Einstein or the World's Longest Moustache. With 190 different...
I Love You Toast — £2.99
There are myriad ways to say 'I Love You'. Flowers and chocolates are hackneyed, and sky writing's just absurd, but embossing the words in your morning toast is the best we've ever heard. What better way to start the day than with slices of hot buttered toast, that proclaim to the world in words unfurled, that they're the one you love the most. Poetry was never our strong point. This toast embosser (until recently not two words you'd expect to see together) transforms everyday bread into a missive...
Smartbox Table for Two — £70.00
When you've been slaving over a hot stove all week it can be nice to let your hair down and let someone else take care of the cooking.

Auto Interval setting allows you to set the camera to take shots at 1, 5 or 15 minute intervals. To conserve battery the camera will go into sleep mode between shots. The camera takes 4" by 6" shots in 640 x 480 resolution...
Non Stop Top — £9.99
Spinning tops are quite fun but let's face it, they spin a bit, wobble, and then in fairly short order fall over, job done. But what if they didn't, what if they just kept spinning, mesmerically whirling round flashing out a psychedelic rainbow of light? Now that would be cool, but of course impossible - though evidently not or we wouldn't have started out on this poorly constructed sentence in the first place. The Non Stop Top bucks the laws of physics with ease, you spin it and off it goes, not...
The Grillslinger — £49.99
It's quite simple, the Grillslinger will revolutionise your barbequing, no question. Designed and developed by a pair of New Zealand's top chefs, it's like wearing a full-on tool belt, but more gastronomic and a hell of a lot sexier. Now instead of spending 10 minutes going in and outdoors setting yourself up with all the bits and pieces you need, you just buckle on your Grillslinger and you're ready to go. The belt holds a set of very high quality BBQ tools (tongs, spatula and knife) all in 'quick...

A highly addictive, super-portable word game. Bananagrams comes in a quirky banana shaped, zip-lock bag. 144 letter tiles from which to make grids of intersecting words. The game can be played in several ways, ranging from a quick five minute hand to an all day affair. Suitable for 1-8 players. When playing in a group the game is a race against time to use up all the tiles. Banana terminology such as 'Split', 'Peel' and 'Rotten Banana' add a silly twist to the game. Suitable for ages 7 years...
R2D2 Wireless Web Camera — £299.00
R2D2 is both a wireless webcam with adjustable angles and a motorised 'bot travelling forward, backwards and he even rotates as controlled by the remote. R2D2's remote is styled like Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber and when you rotate the handle a control pad is revealed so that the lightsaber doubles as a Skype phone. The lightsaber has light and sound effects from the films. The lightsaber's stand connects to your PC's USB port allowing R2D2 to be controlled wirelessly. The webcam is pre-loaded...
Phone Excuses — £2.99
It happens all too often! The phone rings, you pick it up and your heart sinks as the chatterbox caller reveals themself. You know that this could go on for hours, days even, and you need a quick escape. You don't want to be rude though, of course you are interested in your granny's neighbour's god daughter's knee operation - who wouldn't be? It's just that, oh, hark, is that the doorbell? There's no mistaking the tell tale 'ding dong' and you simply must dash to get it. Choose your escape route...
Freeloader Battery Charger — £12.99
The amount of batteries one person goes through in a lifetime must be astronomical - not that we know the exact figure, we were too lazy to look it up, but it must be big, mustn't it, way too big. Not only is the expense painful, but think of that ghastly landfill. Save yourself the cash and the trouble by getting the Freeloader Battery Charger. It charges the included AA batteries from the natty flip out USB port that plugs into your computer (or you can plug it into the Freeloader Solar Charger...
Stunt Granny — £17.99

Clear the supermarket aisles because Stunt Granny has arrived. Complete with a turbo-charged bath-chair, she can perform death defying stunts flying off her launch ramp to clear piles of cereal boxes and cans of beans. Cackling in the face of danger and joyously ignoring the Health & Safety 'Wet Floor' sign, Stunt Granny is a force to be reckoned with as she...
Solar Clock — £24.99
The Solar Clock follows an age old tradition of using the sun to tell the time, but brings it forward to the 21st century. Aeons ago time started. No one's quite sure what happened before that but we're led to believe that it wasn't very interesting and it involved a lot of existential angst. Ever since then man has devised a number of devices (can you use devised and devices in the same sentence without looking like you've lost your thesaurus?) that has allowed us to track every passing moment of...
Snack and Stack — £11.99
Many have claimed that food be the building blocks of life - actually, that's DNA we're thinking of isn't it? What matters is that this cutlery set for nippers has used the stackability (if it isn't a word, then it should be) of a world famous building block and incorporated it into their own design. The knife, fork and spoon can clip together, making them perfect for picnics, travelling and most importantly endless fun at mealtimes.
Ice Tumblers — £7.99
Why put ice in your drink when you can put drink in your ice? Just fill this nifty silicone mould with water, pop it in the freezer for a few hours, and hey presto! You've got a pair of the coolest glasses to be found in the known universe. There may be cooler ones in the unknown universe, but as it's unknown, we don't know, you'll just have to ask Stephen Hawking, though we imagine he has better things to do with his time. For best results use boiled water (once cooled obviously) as that will give...
Tank Paintball Battles — £85.00
This is full on paint warfare, you have been warned. As part of a 3 man crew your challenge is to navigate an enormous 17 tonnes FV432 armoured personnel carrier (that's a massive tank to you and I) around a World War II bombing range. Your weapons - cannons that blast out 40mm paint rounds. This is going to get messy! Under the guidance of your on-board instructor you will get the opportunity to drive the tank, aim the cannon, load the breach and fire the air powered cannon. To get you into your...
Poptastic — £4.99
There are some things in life that you just can't stop yourself from doing, and popping the bubbles on a sheet of bubble wrap is most definitely one of them. We reckon it's nigh on impossible to pass even the smallest scrap of bubble wrap and not want to grab it and squeeze those little bubbles until the make that deeply satisfying 'POP' noise. This compelling, if not addictive, pastime used to be restricted to when you moved house, or someone sensible sent you something in the post. Now fortunately...
Create Your Own Canvas — £14.99

USB Chameleon — £14.99
If the Culture Club worked in an office (now there's a thought) then the place would be stuffed with tunes "Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon" and PCs would be decked-out with USB Chameleons (and possibly some rather dodgy wardrobes). Yes we agree it would be quite Chameleon themed but still, we can't see Boy George in a faceless cubicle just doing the accounts, can you? Ok we got a bit distracted there. The USB Chameleon is a bizarrely loveable desk buddy. Pop him on your computer screen...
Capitalist Pig — £12.99
If money is the root of all evil then this Capitalist Pig(gy) Bank may just have been handmade in Hades, though we think it unlikely. Nevertheless, there has never been a more opportune time to stash your cash somewhere safe, and frankly keeping it in the bank is a bit of a lottery nowadays. We reckon that if you empty your pockets of change every night this wonderfully fat pig will be full to bursting in about ten days. That means that every ten days you can have a guilt-free blow out, which in...

Windmill Generator — £9.99
Learning how important it is to 'green up' for our future is something we are slowly getting used to (thank heavens), and this little kit is a fun way for kids to see how we can turn wind into power. It's a simple but fun kit to build, and is in essence a mini windmill generator. All you need is a plastic bottle (and it's good to find a use for them instead of them going into landfill) to mount your constructed windmill on, and a good blow of prevailing wind will spin the windmill and light up the...

Air Fork One — £5.99
"Hail to the peas, they're packed full of yummy goodness". Anyone whose had to go through the feeding ritual with a baby or toddler knows how fussy they can be when it comes to food. You often have to resort to flights of fantasy just to get them to open their mouths. Next time you utter "open your mouth for the big aeroplane", magic words that have aided parents around the world and ensured children get their daily dose of vitamins since - well, since the aeroplane was invented, you can make sure...
Bottle Catamaran — £11.99
As many a children's television show will attest to, there are simply hundreds of uses for a used plastic bottle. With this kit you'll have one more to add to the list as it comes equipped with everything you need (save the bottles themselves, and a screwdriver) to make your very own working Catamaran. You simply put the frame together, hook the propeller up to the motor, add batteries, slot in the bottles and you're ready to take your newly created Bottle Catamaran onto the nearest pond or lake...

Micro BladeZ — £29.99
There's just something undeniably cool about remote control helicopters. Yes, boats, planes and cars are good too, but there's something about a helicopter that makes everyone scrabble over the controller like overgrown children fighting over, well, whatever it is children scrabble over these days (Pokemon? Football Cards? The Upper West Side?). The problem with most remote control helicopters is that they're obscenely expensive and remarkably hard to control - two things that don't mix well, especially...

Mini Buck The Talking Stag — £29.99
Now, those of you who've been with us for a while will recognise this little fella immediately. Back in the days of talking fish (not real ones, unless you're referring to that time you picked the "wrong" mushroom from the allotment), Buck was one of our star performers, and we were very sad to see him go. But, like all good crooners, we knew he was due at least one comeback tour (Sinatra had to have had at least 40). The Mini Buck is an all singing, all dancing miniature talking stag head, mounted...

Piano Hands — £49.99
Things you don't see often - a juggling ferret and a busking pianist. Ferrets don't care enough to bother, and pianos are just too darn heavy to lug about damp street corners. Enter Piano Hands, the piano you can play anywhere. Being strapped to a piano stool as a youngster before a looming and imposing black monolith was a daunting prospect that didn't induce much love for the ivories. If only someone had said we could wear a pair of cool neoprene gloves and play anywhere without the need for a...

Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener — £11.99
"Captains Log, Stardate 'I feel a thirst coming on' - even with our phazers on stun our bottles just keep exploding, Scotty has tried warping all sorts of stuff which was no help at all, and if we don't come up with a solution soon, I fear for my crew. Oh wait, never mind, Spock's just found a bottle opener. How logical". Now you can explore strange new bottles and boldly drink things you've never been able to drink before with the iconic U.S.S. Starship Enterprise bottle opener. It's hefty, it's...
USB Fridge — £19.99
Fresh from the fridge a cool can is hard to beat, but by the time you've lost yourself at your computer for a while, your drink transforms itself into that tepid sikly beverage we all hate.

It's perfect for keeping your tipple beautifully chilled as you work (or rather play) away, so you can guarantee not to be slurping away at some ghastly warm muck.

Battery Operated Corkscrew — £17.99

Sumo Suit — £24.99

Now you too can experience the roar of the crowd (or perhaps in this case laughter) with this ludicrously funny instant Sumo Wrestling Suit. No years of training, no binge eating, just...
Kiss Charm — £49.99
Luck is a state of mind and a matter of perspective. Which is good news for all of us if you look at it optimistically: all you need to do is feel lucky, and the rest will fall into place. But feeling lucky isn't always as easy it sounds. In a perfect world all you'd need to do is click a mental switch and "hey presto" your luck has changed. Which is why, throughout the centuries (and as far back as the ancient Egyptians), people have adorned themselves in special amulets, hoping that they will in...
Roman Candles — £2.99
As the years go by and yet another birthday flies past you, you start to notice that the cake to candle ratio is inexorably shifting in the candles' favour. It isn't long before your birthday cake starts to become a fire hazard, resembling the sort of beacon that used to sit atop cliffs to warn us of the approaching Spanish Armada. Aside from the worry that you might well set the cat alight, it's surely better as time moves on not to draw too much unwelcome attention to quite how old you are. Hence...
Sofa Bean Bag — £199.00
This wonderfully huge sofa beanbag is highly dangerous - lying on it can bring on sudden and unexpected attacks of sleep. It's a great slop around sofa, and doubles as a very comfortable spare bed. Made from fake leather (all very animal friendly, oh and about £200 cheaper!), it feels great, and is stuffed full of wee polystyrene balls that don't make the racket of the trad bean-bags, so you won't be disturbed as you dozzzzzzzzzzze. It's just a little too big to pop through your post box, so do make...

Karmasheetra — £19.99
We're pretty sure you all know what Twister was, aside from a short trip to A&E if you're not as supple as you once were. Well this wicked rip-off is, well, a recipe for a wicked rip off - so to speak. To play Karmasheetra you first need to be absolutely sure that you're prepared to get up close and extremely personal with your opponent. The sheet is coyly (or not so coyly come to think of it) marked with a series of hand, foot, knee and bum marks, all of which are numbered. Blue for boys and pink...

All of us need to escape the mundanity of the 9 to ...
Pocket Towel — £9.99
As anyone who has ever tried to jam more than a few days worth of kit into a rucksack or beach bag will know all too well, towels are the arch enemy of packing light. For something you only need once or twice a day it takes up way too much space that would be far better used for your travel speakers, picnic, camera, mask & flippers, or dare we say it a few chilled bottles of something delicious. Not only does a trad towel hog way too much space when dry, but post plunge it gets everything else you...
Crossword Mug — £4.99
Normally it would be considered rather optimistic to begin a crossword with a marker pen, but here it seems rather necessary, unless you like the fingers-down-a-blackboard sensation of writing on china with a pencil (even thinking about it makes us uncomfortable). Luckily the marker can be very easily wiped off, meaning you don't have to fork out for a new mug every time you make a mistake. The clues on the back of the mug are challenging but if you don't want to conform to our autocratic system...
