If you’re the sort of person that likes to stage their own concert indoors with the minimum of fuss then the Laser Theatre is for you. The Laser Theatre is frankly an astounding piece of kit that allows you to create an extremely professional-looking laser light show that’s so big it could be projected onto the side of your house. There are some extremely powerful built-in laser projectors (red and green) that you can control yourself. Choose the lens pick a speed for the lights to whiz around at and enjoy the show! There are 4 different holographic lenses to choose from so that the show can vary and there are 39 different laser show combinations in total. Whether you’re projecting in your front room or entertaining friends in the garden the Laser Theatre is big enough (and small enough) for the job. You can balloon the show to 100 feet wide or confine to 10 feet wide it’s up to you.

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.
