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.

This light-up noise-up Sabre is as close as you can get to a Galaxy Far Far Away. It’s made of durable plastic and it also has a nice rubberised grip so you don’t drop it mid-battle.Achieve total sci-fi cool – not only does the light-up blade make a powering-up noise when you turn it on it also hums constantly and reacts to your swishing with sound effects – you know the sort. And when you do bash it onto random surfaces the colour of the blade changes between red blue and purple. There’s a wealth of different realistic noises that you can delight in discovering (and a mute button thankfully). The Special FX Sabre is hilarious fun to play about with and all the more enjoyable with two. So if you’re getting one seriously think about who else would want one and if you could take them on in a duel. Certain to become the way in which all office disputes are now resolved.

Daft as a brush but without the bristles and cleaning capabilities the hand is a very silly and very funny toy. The Walking Hand is around 23cm fingertip to wrist (the size of large gentleman’s hand) and takes 3 AA batteries. At the flick of a switch and the clap of your hands it scuttles across the floor in a very alarming way scaring the Bejeesus out of all those in its path. 23 cm from fingertip to wrist Sound activated Takes 3 x AA batteries (not included)

There is nothing absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Until you drop your keys overboard then it all becomes a bit of a chore. Next time attach the Waterbuoy and within seconds of hitting the water environmentally friendly gas will automatically inflate the reinforced rubber balloon to save your keys from being lost in the gloomy depths. You don’t have to stop at keys either – clip the Waterbuoy to any item weighing up to 1kg and it will happily float on the water for 24 hours. If you’re going to drop something in the river chances are you’ll do it in the dark (it’s the law of the sod – or something like that) which is why the crafty inventors have included a blinking LED light in just the right place to make your floating gizmo visible from up to 250m away. This makes the Waterbuoy the world’s first and only miniature floatation device that’s visible at night. So if you simply love messing about on the river or fancy a life on the ocean waves make sure you keep plenty of these handy gadgets onboard (they’re one use only – but hopefully you’ll have learnt your lesson the first few times you drop your keys overboard). The next time your keys go overboard you won’t have to waste money on a submarine if you’ve remembered to attach the Waterbuoy.

There are some things in life that you just can’t stop yourself from doing and popping the bubbles on a sheet of bubble wrap is most definitely one of them. We reckon it’s nigh on impossible to pass even the smallest scrap of bubble wrap and not want to grab it and squeeze those little bubbles until the make that deeply satisfying ‘POP’ noise. This compelling if not addictive pastime used to be restricted to when you moved house or someone sensible sent you something in the post. Now fortunately someone with way too much time on their hands and who obviously wasn’t busy designing the new space probe has come up with an electronic version that fits on your key ring. It’s the bubble wrap that never runs out of bubble. Every time you press one of the electronic bubbles it makes a satisfying popping noise. We’ve tested several and this one was our winner. Bloody ridiculous but just you try putting it down.

It’s the night before Hogswatch. And it’s too quiet. There’s snow there’re robins there’re trees covered with decorations but there’s a notable lack of the big fat man who delivers the toys…He’s gone. Susan the governess has got to find him before morning otherwise the sun won’t rise. And unfortunately her only helpers are a raven with an eyeball fixation the Death of Rats and an oh god of hangovers. Worse still someone is coming down the chimney. This time he’s carrying a sack instead of a scythe but there’s something regrettably familiar…Ho. Ho. Ho. It’s true what they say. ‘You’d better watch out…’
