For those of you who simply can’t be bothered to use your lungs excessively and stage your own mini-Queen concert (circa 1986) we have this super innovation in the world of bubble-blowing. Simply put it’s a gun that fires bubbles out at a fair old lick and accompanies it with some super-cool UV lights as well. It’s designed for kids but if the giggles of glee as we sprayed showers of bubbles into a desk fan are anything to go by adults will have a rare old time with it too. Great for the garden and indoors as well (office workers may want to be a little cautious around their computers) it’s guaranteed to brighten up the day of whoever you blow bubbles in the face of. If you look within the gun itself you can even see the bubbles being made – perfect for young inquiring minds. If you’re looking for something to muck about with in the garden or a way to delight/annoy family and friends then the UV Bubble Gun is about the best way to manage it.
Price : £ 7.99

Back in the Cretaceous Period (or was it the 70’s) when calculators were the size of small cars and an auto pop-up toaster was considered hi-tech some geek sandwiched two circuit-boards together chucked in some random wiring and gave birth to a musical (sic) instrument that was to become an icon. After nearly 40 years in the closet the Stylophone pocket synthesiser made popular by the likes of Rolf Harris and David Bowie (he used it in timeless classic Space Oddity) is back. You tap the electronic keys with the integral stylus to make funky noises – now with additional Classic Synth and Bass sounds – and maybe you can produce some musical hits using this retro kit as the likes of Kraftwerk Erasure Orbital Marilyn Manson They Might Be Giants and White Stripes have done in the past. You can play solo or plug in your iPod/MP3 player and play along to your favourite tunes and even add some vibrato enhancement to really annoy anyone foolish enough to be listening to you. It may have been invented in 1967 but 40 years on this re-invention is bound to be another hit.
