UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS

December 22nd 2008 11:00

This year there are a myriad of unusual gifts and gadgets around that you may well end up expecting in your stocking this year.

I know one lady who's going to have a big laugh when she gives her husband a Flying Alarm Clock this year - yes, that's right! A FLYING alarm clock!
When the alarm goes off, a small helicopter launches up into the air and goes flying off around the room accompanied by an unrelenting siren alarm sound. But in order to turn off the alarm you have to get out to bed, catch it and return it to the base.

Or how about having a bit of fun with the neighbours and purchasing this life sized, back half of a Jack Russell terrier busy digging up the lawn from The Present Finder. Also useful as a door stop.


There's also the Sat-Nag, another annoying gadget I am expect to cause some havoc in one particular household this Christmas. The Sat-Nag could be described as the anti-Sat-Nav as giving you the correct instructions is one thing it's guaranteed not to do.
One small word of advice however on wrapping - you might want to protect the front button of it first before placing beneath the Christmas tree as the slightest pressure at the front will give the game away before the joyous occasion of giving. I found a half a Christmas card box to be handy in that regard.


Looking to really frustrate someone you love? Especially if you know they'll be dying to crack open that bottle of wine or liqueur you gave them? Then how about the Vice Wine Puzzle or Don't Break The Bottle devices from I Want One Of Those.com?
They'll need to solve the puzzle placed over the neck or around the bottle before they can get their lips to the 'good stuff.'
