Darts traditionally the preserve of tubby lager-swilling chaps with nicknames like The Swedish Mountain is a game (sorry sport) that you can now enjoy in your own home without the fear of having a pointy object lodged in your shoulder. With the Magnetic Dartboard you need worry no longer about the potential safety hazards of throwing real darts around the living room – these magnetic darts are safe fun and a cheaper alternative to minor corrective surgery. What’s more they’re pretty strong too so you’ll have to throw one pretty hard to fluff it. The board itself follows the exact dimensions and details of a traditional dartboard and has a strong magnetic surface for you to liberally hurl the equally magnetic darts at. Great for hanging in the garage or the shed or wherever you might be relegated to when the washing up’s finished you’ll have hours of fun. Perfect post-pub entertainment or just something to muck around with of a Sunday afternoon it’s the closest you can get to getting drunk for a sport. So step on up to the oche and get hurling! NB: All darts-related remarks are made in jest. Please don’t write in.

Water fights eh? Remember them? A perfectly fun way to muck about in the summer shooting each other with lovely refreshing water and having a good old laugh about it. WRONG. Forget what you think you know about water fights soldier and get ready for some serious aquatic combat! This Water Pistol Vest set contains two target vests and two water pistols (which are pretty darn powerful it has to be said). The difference is though that scoring a direct hit on these vests actually causes the victim to bleed! Well maybe not actually bleed but some clever thingamajig in the vest material means that water shows up in red on the target which as we all know means that you’ve been got. It takes the idea of a standard water fight to the next level as instead of just mercilessly pummelling each other with water the object is now to avoid being hit yourself. The winner is the one who has managed to lay waste to their opponents without getting a single speck on themselves. With pistols as accurate and far-reaching as these that’s an awful lot harder than it sounds. So turn your summer into an all-out offensive manoeuvre with this great excuse to run around shooting your mates and covering them in fake blood. Wonderful.

Unicycling as similar to riding a bicycle as surfing is to carpet bowls. If your sense of balance is more finely tuned than your sense of self-preservation then this is for you. Don’t buy this if you’re scared of a challenge though it’s great fun having a go. The really tricky bit is keeping the six watermelons in the air without your wheel slipping off the tightrope. Unicycling is not easy but then neither is origami and whilst paper folding is very creative and all it doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping or indeed your legs. Half as useful as a bicycle and twice as entertaining it’s a full sized cycle and comes boxed requiring some very elementary assembly. It has a 20inch wheel with aluminium rim a fully adjustable (and very comfy) seat and anti-slip pedals – though they’ll be the least of your problems. The handlebars are of course missing but we gather that’s the point of the whole thing.
