Ever wanted to re-create the scene in ‘Big’ where Tom Hanks plays the giant floor piano with his feet? Surely it’s not just us? Well with our Giant Keyboard you can – it’s like the 80s never went away! We’re glad they did though… Still this huge pianoforte just has to be laid on the floor turned on and walked over to create a sound. No matter if you’re a novice of notes or a musical maestro (with your feet) you’ll be able to make music in no time at all. Because it’s a modern sort of keyboard it comes fully equipped with 8 different musical instrument sounds including standard piano saxophone violin and even vibraphone for fans of exploratory jazz… not sure there’ll be too many of you though. It’s also a great way to get younger folk interested in playing an instrument. Rather than having their fingers snapped with a ruler by a fusty old teacher each time their hands lose position (again just us?) why not let them dance about on the keyboard and create sounds for themselves? But why let the nippers have all the fun? If you’re of a certain age and Tom Hanks-loving persuasion then you can team up with a friend and play ‘Chopsticks’ until the cows come home (or the neighbours complain). You can record your efforts with the keyboard’s 80-note memory and then play them back or let the keyboard itself show you how it’s done by listening to one of the ten demo songs. It’s also a fine accompaniment (see what we did there?) to a good party – sort of like a mixture of karaoke and Twister of you like. Basically it’s an excuse to muck about with your mates or a great fun way to get your kids taking an interest in and learning about musical instruments. However you end up playing with it just make sure you move your feet to the beat!

Solar energy really seems to be taking off and it’s about time too. The 6 in 1 Solar Robot Kit takes full advantage of that flaming ball of gas not 93 000 000 miles away we lovingly call the sun. It’s a DIY beginner’s kit that’s perfect for anyone with more than a passing interest in robots (which is everyone surely?). You can build the kit 6 different ways which means once you’ve finished making one robot you can take it apart and turn it into a solar powered boat windmill or car and that’s just 3 of them. The diagrams are very easy to follow we even let the office luddite have a go at building one. Not only is it really fun to make but it’s great for showing you solar power in action so it’s educational as well as fun to make. If you live somewhere that doesn’t get a lot of sunlight (anywhere in mainland UK for instance) you’ll be very happy to hear that the sun isn’t the only source of energy this kit can draw power from. A 50 watt halogen lightbulb will do the trick meaning you can even play with your robot on those rainy winter days. The 6 in 1 Solar Robot kit is just the ticket for the eco conscious roboteer.

Much like our 6 in 1 Solar Powered Robot this T3 Robot harnesses the power of the sun to make your day that little bit more interesting. Unlike the rather cutesy 6 in 1 however the T3 takes a slightly more aggressive stance – once you’ve built it you can turn it into either a tank a scorpion or a standard robot (we’re not sure there’s such a thing as a standard robot but there we are). And if those three different guises aren’t enough for you then well you’re just no fun are you? What’s not to like about a solar-powered scorpion that waddles across your desk like some mechanised arthropod? That’s right – nothing. Being a solar-powered robot or tank or scorpion the T3 requires no batteries whatsoever just a healthy glare of sunshine. Or given the notoriety of our island’s native climate a functioning light bulb. It’s a great little gizmo for keeping on your desk and even better for kids who take an interest how things work. Piecing the thing together in the first place is a rewarding task to complete and once that’s finished the fun really begins. Ingenious design and an eco-friendly message – what could be better for kids and grown-ups alike?

Sometimes you just fancy one glass of wine but don’t want to waste the rest of the bottle. The V Gauge is the wine stopper that puts an end to waste. What makes it stand out from other wine stoppers is that it has its own built-in pressure gauge. ‘Why on earth do you need a gauge?’ we hear you cry. Most wine stoppers work just fine but they all have one fatal flaw – when the vacuum deteriorates oxygen seeps into the wine and before you know it your bottle of plonk has magically transformed into vinegar. The V Gauge is quite staggeringly simple to use (we bought a bottle of wine in the interest of research to test it out) – you just pop it in the top of the bottle pump out the air with the vacuum pump (included) and watch the needle on the gauge swing into the red. Once it’s there you can stop pumping knowing that the there’s enough of a vacuum to keep your wine fresh for ages. The best part is that you’ll be able to see when the vacuum needs to be topped up as the needle will start dropping out of the red.There’s no greater sin than wasted wine so keep your vino fresh with the V Gauge.
