Watching your little one grow day by day and year by year can be a heart warming experience – but it’s all over in the blink of an eye and you’ll find you’ve forgotten so many of the special moments. If it were a perfect world nobody would dare miss a minute of their young one’s life which is why some sentimental soul has created a 100 year diary so you can keep track of every Christmas summer holiday lost tooth first haircut first painting and first Gold Star with loads of space for pictures and drawings. Keep it filled in for as long as you can and then pass it onto your child for them to keep updated. They’ll have years of stories for their children and grandchildren and who knows maybe in 60 years they’ll have the beginnings of a family library.
Price : £ 28.99

Just make sure you don’t post it. Without sounding too paranoid thieves are everywhere. On the streets on the bus and sometimes hiding in the rubbish like Oscar The Grouch. We think. Anyway it’s never a bad idea to be security-conscious most of all when it comes to something precious like your laptop. The Undercover Laptop Sleeve is a neat light-hearted solution that makes your laptop look no more conspicuous than a big battered letter – and nobody wants to steal one of those unless they’re a couple of stamps short of the full postage if you see what we mean. Speaking of which you’d be advised not to leave it hanging around any courier pick-up points or outboxes or else you might find yourself running after a delivery van like a mad person. The attention to detail in this defensive device is great – the phoney address the battered appearance the crafty LOL Post emblem it borders on being cheeky. The size is adjustable so even if you’ve got a lumbering great colossus of a laptop (what do you mean 17 minutes is too long a start-up time?!) then you’ll be able to squeeze it in. Similarly your tiny little netbook will sit snugly inside thanks to the Velcro adjusters making sure that your ‘package’ stays super-safe. The padded interior will protect your precious cargo from bumps and knocks (though you might want to think twice before using it as a sled and rocketing down the staircase) not that people tend to pay much attention to folk with battered-looking parcels. So no matter the size and heftiness of your laptop you can blend into the crowd and rest safe in the knowledge that no-one knows what you’re carrying. Unless like us you’re sort-of tempted to carry the parcel while wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses and ask random people for passwords in a Russian accent.

Noir 
More than half a century after its release in 1950, Sunset Boulevard is still the most pungently unflattering portrait of Hollywood ever committed to celluloid. Billy Wilder, unequalled at combining a literate, sulphurous script with taut direction, hits his target relentlessly. The humour–and the film is rich in this, Wilder’s most abundant commodity–is black indeed. Sunset Boulevard is viciously and endlessly clever. William Holden’s opportunistic scriptwriter Joe Gillis, whose sellout proves fatal, is from the top drawer of film noir. Gloria Swanson’s monstrously deluded Norma Desmond, the benchmark for washed-up divas, transcends parody. And her literal descent down the staircase to madness is one of the all-time great silver-screen moments.
Sunset Boulevard isn’t without pathos, most notably in Erich von Stroheim’s protective butler who wants only to shield his mistress from the stark truths that are massing against her. But its view of human beings at work in a ruthlessly cannibalistic industry is bleak indeed. Nobody, not even Nancy Olson’s sparkily ambitious writer Betty Schaefer, is untainted. And neither are we, “those wonderful people out there in the dark”. Norma might be ready for her close-up, but it’s really Hollywood that’s in the frame. No wonder Wilder incurred the charge of treachery from his peers. It’s cinematic perfection.
On the DVD: Sunset Boulevard lends itself effortlessly to a collector’s edition of this quality. The film itself is presented in full-frame aspect ratio from an excellent print and the quality of the mono soundtrack is faultless: the silver screen comes to life in your living room. The extras are superb, including a commentary from film historian Ed Sikov and a making-of documentary which includes the memories of Nancy Olson. Interactive features such as the Hollywood location map add to the fun. –Piers Ford
