In this the age of communication you need never be far from home what with email telephones and the like. Yet technology becomes rather sterile and impersonal compared with the comforting warmth of this Sweet Talking Bear. There’s nothing like hearing a loved one’s comforting voice when they are far away and this teddy bear goes some way to making up for the lack of their presence (unless of course your loved one is less than 30cm high fluffy and has a voice recorder hidden inside them in which case it will go a long way). Simply pre-record your personal message and the ones you leave behind will have a mini fluffy replacement that will console your family with the sound of your voice. Make sure you don’t stay away for too long though as you may find that within a matter of weeks your wife or girlfriend would rather go to bed with this snuggly bear than you (husbands and boyfriends may take longer to sway). Comforting and microwaveable this teddy is perfect for children and grown-ups alike when that special someone is far far away.
Price : £ 11.99

Robots are taking over the planet, but as the guide helpfully advises, don’t panic! This isn’t one of those pesky evil robots, intent on enslaving humanity , but the new Spykee Vox, the latest robot kit from Meccano that responds to the sound of your voice! Reacting to a huge range of voice commands, it can even be programmed to perform a series of movements and sounds using a very simple programme editor included with the robot. All it takes is a bit of practice and you’ll soon have your Spykee Vox zipping round the carpet shooting its lasergun. You can even edit his facial animations to react to different commands you give him. It?s all very exciting. The robot arrives disassembled, but there’s no need to brush up on your robotics – it’s just like any other Meccano kit and the instructions will hold your hand through every step of the process (we let our office luddite loose on the kit and he managed to finish making the robot within 3 hours – though he did try and destroy it afterwards). Once you’ve got the hang of your Spykee you can use it to control your mp3 player or iPod, and if you’re feeling particularly lazy the robot will even take over as the remote control for your telly, giving you complete voice control over the idiot box. So, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a robotics amateur, get hold of the Spykee Vox and let a little bit of the future into your living room.
