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 forget that ‘Nothing’ is so important that most of our universe – and the contents of a lot of people’s heads – appears to be made up of it. It’s a statement an empty gesture if you will a nod at the futility of ownership and yet despite ‘Nothing’ being nothing it is of course packed with millions of protons neutrons and what have you which is pretty good for Nothing.
Price : £ 6.99

Its purpose is to place each new student of Hogwarts in one of the four respective houses at the start-of-term feast in the Great Hall. Each new student places the Sorting hat upon their head and within a minute the Hat will loudly proclaim the house for which they are best suited. ; The hat is patched and dirty and speaks and sings through a tear in the brim that acts as its mouth. The hat can also read the thoughts of the students and while not in use it sits safely out the way on a stool in Professor Dumbledore’s office. ; This set includes the sculpted base which is made out of Cold Cast Porcelain and Wood. You will purchase individually the House Pens which representing each of the four Hogwart Houses; Gryffindor Ravenclaw Hufflepuff and Slytherin each with a unique intricate design.
