Halloween be here early winkle pickers. How about lighting up a brain in a jar instead of that naughty gunpowder guarding fella Guy Fawkes. Both would definately be a splendid night sight. This brain doesn't (thankfully) smell of  formaldehyde. The guys at Think Geek couldn't actually decide on a smell for the hand-sculpted brain suspended in gel wax so they gave it none. We wreckon it should smell like pork scratching or is that pushing the boat out a tad bit too far?

Some people are definate sleeve wearing heart folk or is that wear their heart on their sleeve?

Cords and tangles are like a foot to a shoe, cracker to cheese, and Mickey to Minnie, they just go together.

Now this is an interesting gift that has a little more bite to it than meets the eye. If you look closely you'll notice that there are 2 vase shapes in one. The outside shape of this vase is based on a Greek Amphira vase and the inner shape inspired by a brass Indian flower vase.

According to OOOMS the word 'schizophrenia is derived from the Greek words for to split (schidzein) and mind (phren). This splitting is related to fragmenting of the thought processes.'

Essey are an innovative brand that specialise in taking the ordinary and adding in a touch of wonderment and happy quirkiness, they call it 'Symbolic Functionalism.' Take this cactus toothpick dispenser for instance, cacti are prickly, so are toothpicks, so it makes sense to draw them together, but not everyone would bring those elements together in a sleek design with elegant functionality.

Press the top and it will silently rise to reveal hygienic dental toothpicks rather than prickly gum busting thorns. Press the top back down and the form resumes it's clean top to toe cut-lining. If your grub doesn't get people talking around the dinner table then this gift probably will.

Pop the cap to pour out your goodies and clip it shut to store away.

The caps are dishwasher safe and will also go in your freezer. The bag cap comes in small, medium, wide and is available in vibrant red, orange and green.

If eyes are one of the top things you want to put in your mouth, then you're in luck because Suck UK have only gone and cooked up some that you can eat. Not only do they melt in your mouth but you can stick them to food to give them all sorts of expressions that'll leave you hungry for some more cannibalism.

We think it's a case of 'you looking at me,' and in this instance you really can give that banana 'what for.' Kids will probably go gaga over them and they might even encourage them to pack their own lunches in the morning and be enthusiastic about eating fruit & veg.

Now this thing is pretty cool. It's putty, it's magnetic and it has a mind of its own, we think it deserves an OMG! All you have to do is wave a magnet near it's silvery hide (not sure what part of a putty is its hide) and it'll come a-live. It's strong enough to defy gravity and packs enough power to lift tacks and paperclips on its own accord after charging it in a magnetic field.

If all this invisible 'let the force be with you-ness' is not enough to get your bottom lip quivering with shear excitement then shape it into a ball and bounce it. If you want to push yourself into overdrive then drop a magnet onto it and watch Quicksilver eat it right infront of your eyes. You are a wickedly clever fellow Aaron, big kids and little ones may well take a fancy to your gift.

Music lovers everywhere can now rejoice in turning their fridge up to 11 because 10 is just not enough for the rock God within. Louder, colder and just all over cooler, Jim would have been proud.

The Marshall fridge celebrates 50 years of the amp brand that has powered the sounds of legends all over our green planet. It features the iconic Marshall badge and Jim Marshall's signature, plus control knobs that (as I mentioned before) do actually go up to 11.

We recently featured the five nestling lotus flower bowl gift by Whitney Smith Pottery and while we were there we spotted this delicate looking number. This ceramic poppy serving bowl emulates the shape of a poppy seed pod and it's been beautifully crafted, but don't let its dainty lines fool you because it's solid and sturdy.

It's big enough to be a serving bowl or a decorative centre piece in your home and it's glazed with a Poppy red colour. It measures 10 inches wide and it's food safe.

If you, like us, like to open the fridge and stare at a pack of eggs, off-milk and half an eaten Mars bar pondering how to mix it all work together into a culinary dream, then,... speed it up, because you're letting all the cold air out and it costs money to cool up your fridge again.

So with all fair do-ness, it's time to take the next step and invite in the Fridgezoo arctic friends so that when you open up your fridge, they'll greet you, but if you leave it open for too long they'll tell you where to go so that you shut the fridge door. Clever little fun creatures that'll make you all that bit more energy wise & efficient.

If you've seen those awesome slow motion water droplet videos then you'll most likely want to get your hands on these droplet inspired fruit bowls aptly named Dropp! It's gravity defying design will add some fluidity to your table and may stir up the odd conversation.

The bowl has a smooth shiny inside and a matte cool outside and comes in a range of 6 funky colours; carbon black, neo purple, neo red, snow white, spring leaf and storm blue.

These handmade matte green glazed lotus bowls with coppery finish are very cool, a botanists table centre-piece. The highlights of colour give the bowls a real succulent look to them, a bit like an Aloe Vera plant or cacti. The pottery design is very clever too and I'm sure you've figured out the fact that there are 5 bowls nesting one inside the other like a Matryoshka doll (Russion doll).

The smallest plant bowl is 3 inches wide & the largest spans 7 inches wide and are food safe, so they'll look just as smart serving up your grub as well as sculpturally sitting on the table ready for your next food conquest.

I'm sure you've got a mobile phone, and if you do have one, then you should keep one of these Bheestie bags in your cupboard because there'll be a day when you accidently get your phone wet & you'll need it. Hairdryers just won't cut it anymore, you're going to need some science. The Bheestie bag is designed to quickly remove water from a sodden mobile phone which will increase your phones chances of saving it from Poseidon's doom.

According to the inventors the non-silica based product will work up to 700% better at removing moisture than rice - yes, you aparantly use rice to dry out electronic products. This is all down to what they call their 'molecular sieve desiccant formula.' Sounds rather dapper to us.

We earlier showcased the baby seal body jumper gift for kids and this is it's larger counterpart for big boys and girls who want to get snug and flop about on the sofa like a beached seal. If you're cultural and want to know a little bit more about Iceland, humans & seals then light the bonfire and read this Icelandic myth:

'...seals are believed to be condemned by humans. One ancient story from the south of Iceland is about a farmet who early one morning finds a sealpelt lying on the beach. In a cave nearby, he hears vioces and music. He takes the sealpelt home and hides it in a woodenchest. Few days later he returns to the beach and finds a crying, naked, young woman sitting on a rock. He brings her to his house where she stays, but he never tells her about the pelt. As time goes by they get married and have children. But the young woman is restless and often stares quietly out of the window at the ocean. One day when the farmer goes fishing, his wife accidentally finds the key of the chest, opens it and discovers the missing pelt. She takes leave of her children, puts the pelt on and before she dives into the ocean she says: “ I am vary anxious, with seven children on land an seven in the sea.” She never comes back but the farmer misses her terribly. Later when he goes fishing there often is a seal near his boat and its eyes are filled with tears. It is said that the farmer becomes a very  lucky fisherman. And when his children play at the beach there often is a seal swimming close to land. Sometimes it brings them beautiful stones and colorful fishes. But their mother never returned.'

If you like to pop the cork, sit back, and watch the breeze while you sup on a refreshing & crisp glass of your favourite tipple then you're not going to be too impressed if it's warm and sludgy to the taste buds. So here are your alternatives, an ice bucket cooler, it works, but it's cumbersome & messy, a water bucket, erm, that's for students, and we're scratching our brain to think of anything else.

If you're a bit more refined like your wine then you'll want something a tad bit more sophisticated that'll get your beagle eye guests lip smacking, and if you like that sort of thing, then you need this gift because it looks stunning. It's as if you've popped to the Alps, clonked an icicle off the chalet roof and dropped it into your wine and nonchantly hyperjumped back home ready for hors d'oeuvres.

The Corkcicle will keep your wine (white & red) at the right temperature for about an hour because it'll chill your wine from within and it's ready to use straight from the freezer. It won't leak water into your wine diluting it like ice cubes and once you're done with it, simply run it under the tap to wash it and stick it back into the freezer for the next time.

Icelanders definately have a sense of humour and this Beardcap is of no exception. It's available in two different styles; The Farmer and The Gentleman, and is made from soft, warm Icelandic sheep wool. It comes in five colours; yellow, brown, grey, black and red to suite anyone man or lucky ladies complection.

This gift is far too cute. The designer Vík Prjónsdóttir created this all over bodysuit jumper from Icelandic sheep wool in a small knitting factory in Víkurprjón, Iceland. If you want to cover your kids from top to toe in warm softness and watch them slide around like cute little baby seals then you best get your hands on one.

This is a pretty cool gift that does more than just give your pegs a good clean. If you don't like to crane your neck under the tap then all you have to do is plonk the toothbrush cavity under the tap and due to good old pressure it'll force a steady fountain of water up into your bouche.

The other cool thing about this gift is that you don't have to fork out a wod of cash each time you need to change the softened bristles (which should be once a month) because you can pop out the bristle section and add in a new one. Clever brushey, t'is good for the environment too because you're throwing away less plastic.

No matter where you are in the world you'll come face to face with a fly. If you're not bothered by them then it's all groovy, but if it's buzzing all up in your grill or food with all of their buddies then you're going to need to teach them a lesson with some leather.

This Fly Fly swatter was designed by Tarmo Likki in 1989 and it's crafted by hand by Tarmoset in Tampere Finland. The shaft is made from sustainably harvested Finnish birch and the 'swat’ is made of high quality butt cracking leather.

They'd work well in any beverage because they won't melt leaving your sacred-aged scotch, whiskey or rum tasting watery & diluted. The Scots would breath fire.

If you haven't heard of Ron Jeremy I won't awaken you to his chosen proffesion, I shall let you Google him. Please bare in mind that the Legend himself is not safe for work but his Rum is safe for over 18's to enjoy responsibly. It's an exceptionally well-balanced & hand crafted 7-year old rum by the 72-year old Cuban master distiller Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez from Panama.

The PR machine describe the rum as a,... 'carefully aged rum, with a harmoniously balanced orchestra of oak, fruit and spices. In the palate it opens up smoothly, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship. The oak comes through robustly and satisfyingly, yet gently enough to allow hints of vanilla and raw sugarcane to reveal them selves. The finish is elegant and long, true to the aromas and flavors previously experienced. Ron de Jeremy sips perfectly, naked or savored over the rocks, and mixes beautifully to make Ron’s many signature drinkxxx. It is the adult rum.'

We won't argue with that because we haven't tasted it yet and if we were rum drinkers we'd have our lips all over it. Erm, wrong choice of words, we thinks!

Donna has got a unique drawing style that's playful and intriguing. Shes applied her illustrative talents to a range of crockery like this bone china plate and other cool stuff.

It's the Optimus Prime of the BBQ world.

The fork slides out for easy use and tucks away into the spatula when you don't need it and the handles can be locked together and opened. It's made from brushed stainless steel and sturdy wooden handles.

If you want to spray some citrus love all over your food in an even & simple way then insert this gift, aptly named Stem. It'll draw up the juice of your oranges, lemons & limes and spray it all over salad, fish or anything you want to coat with a little zing flavour.

Some of you would probably still prefer the good old fashion way of cut and squeeze, which is messy and pippy, however if you want to bring the zesting to the table then the Stem packs some punch wit regards to cool factor and  no juice spillage all over your guests.

I know what you're thinking, this could get messy, but on the other hand it's such a fun and relaxing idea, because let's face it, guys like to linger while they do the business. Women are up before they've even sat down, a guy likes to take some literature and I've even known people to take a cup of tea.

If you're in the latter party then you're going to need all the comfort a dunny can provide and Jacob's gift will let you sit back with utter relaxment. If I'm quite honest I think I'd just love to see people's faces when they walk into the bathroom to find the throne chair perched above the toilet, what would you do?

There won't be any musical chairs dethroning happening here.

This footstool gift does make me chuckle a tad bit. This one is called Little Betty and she is handcrafted in Lyons, Kansas. She also has a browner sibling called Ruby and her feathers are hand-felted wool and her head bobs. She's a stirdy thing turned from a fallen wood log, and she stand on her sculpted cast bronze feet and beak.

If you want a gift from the farm without the morning call and poo then these unique chicken footstools are certainly one-of-a-kind, and packs a punch in personality. She measures 12" off the floor and weighs about 12 pounds and if you want to splash out some cash then you can get a bigger version.

Now that the dust is beginning to settle on our fair Queen's Diamond Jubilee extravaganza I thought I'd rap up proceedings with our nations most loved and hated condiment, Marmite. It's been around since 1902, which makes it 24 years older than our Queen. If you live in Britain you should be able to pick up a jar from your local Saino's, Morries or Tesco's supermarket. Spread some Royal love on your toast.

If you want to quaff slurp down a good brew then you need to sup at the cusp of a tea from the Sri Lankan tea planting Pedro Estate (Nuwara Eliya) that was planted nearly 60 years ago (1954) by the hand of HRH Prince Philip. Well, he didn't plant all the tea bushes but on the 17th April, as part of the Queen's state visit, HRH Prince Philip did plant one special tea bush that flourished.

Cuttings have been taken from this special tea bush over the past 57 years and have been propagated on the estate resulting in an exclusive 'Royal tea' area that the East India Company have exclusive rights to blend. There are only 500 available and this limited edition tea comes in a hand-crafted silver plated caddy with a silver-plated tea spoon.

The Queens's official china plate gift was a bit of a success with you guys so we shall continue with the theme and bring you the Queen's official Diamond Jubilee logo for 2012 printed on a 100% cotten tea towel. It's all rather funky and youthful and the crest was drawn up by Katherine Dewar and she's 10 years old, a-mazing!

Hear thee, hear thee, come one, come all, the Queens official Diamond Jubilee range of English fine bone china has been commissioned by the Royal Collection and they're ready for your nimble prodders to get your hands on.

Each of these plates (18cm in diameter) is individually cast and hand decorated in Staffordshire (UK) using 250 year old unchanged traditional methods and are embellished with several layers of raised burnished gold before a final layer of gilding in 22-carat gold is applied by hand.

The design features the Royal Coat of Arms and the border decoration is based on the famous Rockingham Service, made between 1830 and 1837 for William IV who was a great patron of English porcelain. It was first used at Queen Victoria’s coronation banquet in 1838. It'll make a rather splendid and patriotic gift, hara!

If you want to fly the British flag this Queen's Jubilee without having to bust out the Union Jack then you can go Royal with this Queen's Guard soldier wall decal by Oakdene Designs. I wreckon it would look pretty cool in playrooms, nurseries and children's bedrooms, especially because kids need to learn how to stand to attention and these decals will give them the perfect posing partner when you come to inspect their room.

The wall sticker comes in 3 different heights, small 58cm, medium 130cm and large 200cm and it's cut from high quality matte vinyl. It has a 5-7 year interior / exterior life and as with most decals it's pretty easy to apply and peel off without leaving residue.

Eva Alessandrini, born in 1976, has created a rather cool bookshelf here that uses a clever interlocking modular cube design that basically means that you can assemble letter cube units to spell a word. So, it's a perfect gift to give someone that wants to spell out the Queen, as in the Queen's Jubilee of which I've been featuring gifts to celebrate her 60 year reign or you could spell out Dad, for Fathers Day or boobs, just because you can. Though that would be £1600 worth of boobs so you better make good use of them and get them stacked with hard backs. That'll be my weekly quota of innuendos over and outed.

You can choose from a range of 16 interior and exterior stained ash veneer colours and I'd have to say that this is one of those gifts that's truly unique and versatile, of which will fit into any environment, whether it be at home, the office or on a boat.

If you're looking to get one gift for your Pops that covers the Queens Jubilee and Fathers Day then make it Corgi's dog socks, it's utterly upper lip my dear, qwaff qwaff! Spiffingly regal, they're cotton-blend and feature the Queen's favourite Corgi dogs don't you know.

To commemorate the 60 years of our fair Queen's reign I shall be featuring some Jubilee gifts that'll certainly turn a few heads.

To start off with, I shall take us back to the era of punk and bring you this upcycled vintage ceramic skull tea cup and saucer that screams a touch of the Sex Pistols with a splash of regal flare. It's a great way to kick off the Jubilee in true punk fashion.

BioLite are also doing something rather special with their bigger HomeStove that's currently being used all over the world in replacement for unhealthy open fire cook stoves in developing countries. I wrote my dissertation on the matter of how many women suffer from poor air quality from cooking on open fires and BioLite are using their heat-to-energy technology to bring safe, cleaner energy to people off the grid.

Hat Tip

I'm all for taking inanimate objects and turning them into eye poppingly attractive hybrids with more fanfare than their original sibling. FieldCandy's tents are just that gem of a gift that makes it to the top of that list. If you've ever gone to a festival you'll know that one of the hardest things to do, besides finding a clean poop-a-loo, is finding your tent after you've spent the evening moshing amongst your sweaty eye ball popping counterparts.

These beautifully crafted tents with cleverly designed and eye catching flysheets are like a beacon home amongst a sea of blue, black and green tents. If you're into hardcore camping then you may want to go for their more camouflaged deigns like the men only wooden clad tent or the grass is always greener all over grass tent.

Some of the designs are the dandy work of out of house designers like the above What a Melon (watermelon) design by Luke Bonner. You can choose from 44 original cool designs and they're built to last and for easy erection, ooo-er missus. All of the tents are made with classic 'A' frame storm tent construstion tried and tested against the hardiest expedtion tents on the market today, so it'll stand up to a good beating.

The flysheets are waterproof, fire retardent, UV fade resistant, treated with Ultra-Fresh (not sure what this is), coated with flourocarbon (aka teflon) for strength and durability and the designs are digitally printed on 100% polyster. It's got some bang-tidy heavy-duty YKK zips for you to tug open and close that's protected by a Velcro zip cover, nice touch.

The pegging points are strong, elastic and adjustable for security and stability, so that the tent doesn't sag and dip while you catch your z's and the strong hardened aluminum pegs are designed not to bend and they've got a handy little hole for your custom peg puller. Pegs are sneaky buggers, as in they're always playing hide and seek. So FieldCandy have thrown in extra pegs and a hand hammer in the package so that you can chase down any teefs who have nabbed your pegs for their shabby tent and Timmy Mallet them into submission.

Back to that erection I was chatting about earlier, let's face it, putting up tents are a pain in the toosh, these tents come with easy set up poles that just need to be 'wiggled' into place, FieldCandy's words not mine, so we'll have to take their word for it. The poles are made from top quality, high strength, low weight precision engineered aluminum alloy poles in silver.

As if that wasn't enough, there's more, the flysheet has a breathable cotton inner tent. If you're wondering what they mean by 'breathable,' you'd hope that would come as standard in any tent, being able to breath is kind of essential. FieldCandy explain it by saying that most modern tents are made from plastic and so the moisture that comes out your bouche when you breath gets trapped, but the 'breathable' inner sheet does the opposite because it's 100% natural cotton, that'll keep your tent dry and comfortable to kip in, without your gob-wash falling back onto your face in morning, nice!

Other cool things include, lockable storage pockets (padlocks provided), superior sewing and sealing techniques, a spacious sleeping area for two with a mesh window for ventilation of farts and increased light, along with a lantern hanging point for those dark cosy evenings.

This solid pine rustic foldable Poetique clock is rather beautiful. It's vintage style, aged design and patina finish has been elegantly crafted to slot into modern day living without looking out of place. I'd go as far as saying that it's chic-aged tones are rather romantic to the eye.

If you want to mix old school leather with new school tech and a notepad and pen then you can't beat a top grain cowhide iPad case to slot your iPad 1 and 2 into. This gift will protect your iPad and fit a notepad (7.5 inch x 9 inch) alongside it with a pen for those times when you're feeling nostalgic and fancy scribbling your notes and sketches down. You can then scan it with your iPad and finish it off in one of your apps or save it in Evernote.

It measures in at 9.3 inch x 7.7 inch x 0.8 inch once zipped closed and weighs 0.91 lbs. As well as the space for the notpead and pen there are business card pockets for the briefcase wielding gentleman.

Get your ear buds in shape by sticking your gadget headphones in your substitute silicone ear and you'll be cable tangle free. This gift comes without ear wax, you'll need to provide your own.

If you want to keep the cool in wearing a suit jacket (please don't pair up with sandles and chinos) then you'll need this merino wool hoody-jacket combo that's pin striped from groin to hair tips. It's got a paisley tie-cloth liner and it's been dubbed as the high flying fashion item for any execs wardrobe. It's simply rather dapper.

Too funny, if you're baby could read, he'd or she'd jump up and happy slap you with glee. A bib cape gift fit for any child.

I heart you with a spoon, not just any old spoon but a spoon made of Bamboo that serves all the food love anyone can give. Serve it to me right and I'll do what ever you wish, said the actress to the Bishop.

Stationary can get a bit of a bad rap, but there are designers out there that are single handedly flipping the script and coming up with some cool gifts for your office. This charging bull stapler pulls no punches when it comes snazzing up your boring plank of wood mdf desk.

It says take me by the horns and use me, punch me down head first and watch me bind these papers together as efficiently as an inebriated clubber chow down a doner kebab. It's all perfectly crafted pewter muscle armed with 1000 staples, proudly made in the USA.

If you're looking to buy someone a thoughtful gift then you should check out this canvas art aptly named 'favourite things...' It's a typographers wet dream that's filled with all the things they love. It's totally bespoke my chums, all you have to do is send in 200 words to express all the things your lucky recipient likes and they'll print it on this archival heavyweight pure cotton canvas for you. Make sure to list the words in the order you'll like them to appear on canvas. 

If you follow TicaToca then you'll know that we're big fans of all things simple in design. The coat hanger, for instance, was apparently created because a wire factory worker was tired of hanging his jacket on the back of his chair and, so he took some wire form the production line and bent it into a hanger and hung it up. Heh presto, the wire factory started making coat hangers and made a mint.

I'd like to think that the same story happened here with London based designer Sebastian. I can imagine him taking a stainless steel wire, an empty wine bottle, a couple of candles and some make shift holders (these are made from aluminium) and bending them into shape to create this candle loop 'candelabra'esque inspired candle holder.  You've got the perfect excuse to polish off that bottle of wine you've been eyeing up all week.

Big up to Michele for submitting this gift I wish you better ;)

These magnetic leaves serve one main purpose, to transform something bland into something organically exciting. The idea was hatched when Richard was asked by Sjarel Ex of the famous Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam to propose an idea that would transform the musiems offices and ceiling into something that didn't look so 'awful.'

Replacing the celing, as you can imagine, would have been very expensive so he came up with the ingenious idea of letting nature work it's magic by seamlessly extending the flow of the outside trees & foliage into the building by sticking these magnetic leaves to the ceiling.

You'll get 50 magnetic leaves in a pack, that come in an assorted range of green colours with one solitary red leave. I'm assuming that you only get one red leaf so that you can make it the focal point. They're made of silicon rubber and if you're looking at your drab grey ceiling / service pipes right about now then you need some Gispen in your life, go green.

If you want to turn your fugly light switch into a bendable work of art that has an illuminating purpose then get your mitts on Studio Stallinga's (from Netherlands) Watt light gift. It's made to be plugged into a 230v wall socket and the bendable wired lamp will let you shape it into anything your heart desires. Almost anything!

Doreen Westphal is a bit of a traveller, she was born in former East Germany where she became a tailor by trade after leaving school. As soon as the wall came down hopped over the channel to the UK where she studied Theatre design at Nottingham Trent University. I studied an hour away from her at Loughborough University. After finishing her studies she decided to hop back over the channel and settled in the Netherlands where she works, lives and breaths design as well as some extra curricular activity I'm sure.

She has a few collections of her work available to buy but it was her inner tube bags, wallets, totes collection called Krejci that really caught my attention. I've seen quite a few of these designs popup around my travels but the quality of her work looks very impressive, machining rubber is not an easy task. Add in wool felt lining, buckles, zips & viscoe into the mix and you'll need a steady hand to tailor these bags into gifts that you'd want to use and more importantly buy. I particularly like the fact that she's left the inner tube white stamp to show it's makers mark.

I have the original smaller twin of the Big Jambox simply called the Jambox and it's frikking amazing, it's probably one of my most used and loved gadgets. I recently took it on a trip with some friends and we all took turns Bluetoothing our way into the Jambox to DJ for hour sessions. It was so popular that people refused to Bluetooth themselves off the device, needless to say beer throwing, knee bashing and nipple twisting quickly ensued.

Jawbone obviously caught wind of it's popularity and so have clawed their way back into the market with a larger offering. The Big Jambox like the original Jambox turns any phone (iPhone, Blackberry etc), tablet (iPad etc) or mobile device into a portable, hi-fi sound system. Once you've Bluetooth'd your way into the speaker you can play & control your music, movies and games at a flick of your wrist or a push of the buttons located at the top of the speaker.

One of the cool things about the Jambox (little & large) is the retro sci-fi sounds it makes when you pair it, shut it down, turn on and volume up or down. You can charge it up, unplug and walk around with the speaker in one hand which gives you the luxury of taking it anywhere with you because it'll give you 15hrs of continious playback.

If you're wondering about the quality of sound then you're going to be pretty amazed about how much punch this little fella packs. It's precision-tuned drivers and dual passive bass radiators work in tandem to push out clear, full and rich audio. It uses 'LiveAudio technology' which simply means that you'll hear the same sound quality if you plonk it on a table and walk around it. This is a bit of a winner when it comes to making conference calls through the speaker(phone) because it'll pick up the voices of everyone sat around the table.

As with the smaller Jambox you can customise, update & download apps & software at Jawbone's MyTALK™ website. Clever little bigger thing.

If you really want to impress your mother in law then you're going to need to get them something that says you've thought long and hard about finding a gift that's practical, unique and says you care.

A box of chocolates will get you a lip curl of a smile, this stainless steel fruit bowl by Gijs Bakker in the shape of a water droplet, will get you a lip curl, raise of an eyebrow and a 'huh.' That'll be the 'huh' of surprised content that you made an effort. From there on in, you're on your own my friend, may the force be with you. When she asks what is it, grab it by the droplet and carry it to the table, she'll get the picture.

La Boite have created something pretty cool by perfectly blending a table and a wide stereo surround soundsystem for you to plug your laptop and smartphones into to fill up your room with stereophonic wonderness. The table packs in 3 amplifiers to get the best power & sound out of the compact design. It features 7 acoustic speakers front & rear specifically designed & angled to fit into the table in order to pump out the best sound whether you're sat in front of it or lounging at the other side of the room. It also has a discreet sub-woofer with a long excursion cone under the table.

The cool thing about this gift is that it doesn't rely on your computers sound card because it has an integrated DAC (digital to analogue converter) in the table that allows any computer (PC & Mac) to be turned into a high-fidelity music player. If you're all 21st Century then you can plug your smartphones (iPhones, iPod, mp3's etc) into the table and it'll use the internal soundcard to convert the sound into a full-rich sound.

La Boite have thought about all the little things that make this soundsystem desk very unique, like the fact that once you've plugged your devices into the desk it will be powered by the single plug that runs discreetly down one of the table legs. It's mighty fine to look at too, it has an 8-layer piano lacquer finish and natural leather desk pad that's insulated to minimise the sub-woofer vibration. It's the sum of the parts that do this desk justice.

My days of wearing collared shirts is over, if I don't have a crease in my tops then I'm simply not satisfied. However I did like to get all dressed up to the nines when I worked in the city, when I say city I mean Notting Hill in London. I was even known to wear a waste coast from time to time, it's an acquired look, but it worked, well I thought so anyways.

I didn't go on many business trips but I always saw people driving in their cars with their weeks shirts hanging in the back. Why do people do that? Apart from the obvious, we can safely assume that they have a home or hotel room to go to, so why risk them getting schmucky in wrinkled? You've probably guessed where I'm going with this,... If you want to do it the smart way and like to throw your stuff around but don't want it creased then you need this shirt shuttle gift my friends.

If you're a commuter then you'll be glad to know that it's lightweight, water resistant and small enough to fit inside a small laptop bag, a piece of hand-luggage or a back-pack.

That's no typo error in my title friends, someone somewhere eventually had to come up with this idea, and the gong goes to Si Hill. He came up with the idea of dropping the 'w' from wrapping and printing rap lyrics onto sheets of paper when he realised that his Bro's present (Nike trainers) needed something a bit more debonair than those flower numbers you get in Boots.

So, knowing his brother was a fan of NWA he got his printer out and dropped the lyrics of 'Straight Outta Compton' onto some sheets of paper and Rapping Paper was born. You can choose rapping paper lyrics from Sugar Hill Gang's 'Rappers Delight,' Eminem's 'My Name is,' Run DMC's 'It's Like That' and a few more.

If you dig hydration on the move as much as I do then you'll need something to keep you refreshed. Buying bottled water is a bit of a no-go area for me because of the amount of waste pollution discarded bottle water creates, it's simply not good for our wee planet.

There are quite a few innovative water bottles available to buy and this one is of no exception. The reason why it's gracing your retina is because it uses a unique patented design that allows you to get a good portion of water in your gob without having to tilt your head back. All you have to do is top it up from tap at the wide base opening, squeeze the bottle at any angle in one hand and you're replenished.

Bath bombs are frikking awesome. I've only had the pleasure in experiencing the fizzy extravagnaza a handful of times but it certainly tickled me pink. If you like some fizzy action or know a certain lady that does then they'd definitely love you to drop one of these scrumptious looking cupcake bath bombs into their bath.

If you've never experieneced a bath bomb then you're in for a treat. They'll fizz like mad and dissolve in your bath softening the water making it feel silky smooth against your skin. If you like long warm baths hot enough to boil up a couple of lobsters then you'll be able to stay in the bath that tad bit longer before you turn into a prune because the bath bomb increases the longevity of your bath.

It'll relax your muscles while moisturising your skin and will leave a soothing fragrance in the air. It's also a good to reduce puffiness, nourishes with antioxidants and removes toxins and grime from your skin. Each cupcake set comes with the foloowing flavours: cherry almond biscotti, peppermint chocolate, coconut creme, melon mimosa, pink grapefruit, jasmine and pomegranate blueberry.

When I was a wee whippersnapper my Grandma used to tie a red bow around my suitcase handle so that I could easily recognise it on the travelator. It's still a trick I use today because suitcases generally come in black or grey and you can't really reinvent the shape of a suitcase because a rectangular box is the optimum space saving design for stacking, lugging and carrying. So, if you're looking for a way to ensure that your suitcase stands head and shoulders above the rest then you could try this Boombox suitcase gift by SuitSuit.

It's a near perfect rectangular box that'll give you a 40 litre packing capacity and weighs 2.5 kg. It's got a TSA lock to stop dem teefs and it comes with strong racing style wheels (not sure what that actually means). If you like to drag rather than carry then you'll be glad to know that it also has a telescopic handle locking trolley system with push button control and multiple height stops. It's light, compact and will take the fury of most baggage handlers.

These fantastical works of art are more than paintings because ibride have designed in a hidden bookshelf behind the canvas. The human portraits with animal heads are scarely realistic and don't look anatomically out of place. They kind of remind me of something Guillermo del Toro (director of Pans Labyrinth) would have concocted for one of his movies.

The collection is named Les Dandys by ibride (from France) and was inspired by the imaginary world of 19th Century French literature (such as Balzac, Dumas & Maupassant) in homage to the theme of secrecy. You get to the books behind the painting by pulling open the hinged front panel. The paintings are printed on MDF, and are available in 3 designs, Bel-Ami, Dantes and Rodolphe. The paintings dimensions are 112cm x 30cm x 18cm.

It's hard to believe that the London Underground was opened in 1863 and now serves 270 stations and it's the 2nd largest Metro system in the world. The familiar roundel and font was redesigned in 1913 by Edward Johnston and it's remained as is till this day. It's been frequently used as a symbol of all Britishness, and has been used on many memrobilia, like this bottle opener.

If you want to open your bottles with a touch of British nostalgia then get your mitts around this heavy metal, magnetic bottle opener gift shaped like the iconic London Underground logo. If the tube could only be as refreshing as the cap popping first drink of an ice cold beer. We still done have air conditioning in the Tube, come one Mayor Boris Johnson, get cracking.

Japan's design collective IDEA International are a refreshing bunch of people that showcase, manufacture and sell, cool, minimal & innovative products that Japanese designers muster up. Like this simple timer, specifically designed for the kitchen but I can think of a number of other uses beyond the stove.

All you have to do is turn the cube (face up) with the number of minutes you want timed and it'll alert you when that time's is up. Simple and effective. It'll give you a count down time from 3, 10, 30 and 60 minutes and it's avialable in orange, white and yellow.

I'm told that small things are just as useful as big things. Something as small as 8inches by 5inches by 2.5inches that only weighs 3.25 lbs for instance. Compact is the new big and if it's been well built with steel and high density rubber then size really doesn't matter. I am ofcourse talking about this First Aid kit by Best made Company in New York, USA.

It'll securely pack 11 essential First Aid products to keep you bandaged up and trooping on if you get into the odd scrape or two. It's compact size makes it ideal for camping, festivals, back of your car, at work and it can be hung on the wall. It's OSHA certified, manufactured in Kansas City MO and approved by the US Forest Service.

The kit contains 16 certi-strips, 3 triangular bandages (with Pins), 4 certi-gauze pads, 1 absorbent compress, 2 pairs of nitrile gloves, 6 burn creams, 10 antibiotic Creams, 10 antiseptic BZK towelettes, 6 alcohol gels, 2 certi-tapes and a First Aid facts sheet.

Wellingtons and boot jacks may not seem a sexy gift but if you live in the country or like to go a splashing around in muddy puddles then you're going to want take them off without getting the rest of you grubby. Instead of using a poker stick to wrench them off try doing it with some style with this antique buttermilk boot jack.

If you have a bicycle then you'll most likely need a light. If you have a light then you've most likely had one stolen or left it somewhere not near your bike when you need it. I'm going somewhere with this so bare with me. Have a look at your bike light, hold it in your hand and then ask yourself, do you really want to carry that beast around with you forever.

If you're in the league of moi, then you'll want something that's compact, fixed to your bike, and comes on and shuts off automatically when your not riding. That something is this gift, you won't need to remove it because it's secured by your seatpost and it's machined from a solid aluminium block.

The Blink / Steady light has an in-built accelerometer that knows when you're moving and a light sensor to tell if it's dark enough to turn the light on without you needing to do it. It will also turn itself off after 30mins when you've locked up your bike up. If you want a steady light instead of a blinking light then you can turn your light to one side and it'll flip from blink mode to steady mode and vice-a-versa because it knows it's angle of dangle.

I don't condone violence in any way shape or form but this gift has taken the cool element of the butterfly knife wrist flick to open and close and switched the harmful blade to a pen. I think the video says it all, kind of reminds me the craze of flicking your pen around your thumb and back again. I was never coordinated enough to do that at school, only the cool cats possessed that power.

Ninja star gifts, supremely exotic and all so Enter the Dragon-esque.

There are some cool and efficient water purifiers out there and this one uses a bit of old world 17th century natural know-how from Japan to better the quality of water we drink straight from the tap. This old world magic comes in the shape of a lump of charcoal called Binchotan that reduces chlorine, mineralises and balances the pH level of water.

Black + Blum have added some design flair to the bottle design while keeping some romantic Japanese style. It's easy to use, just drop the coal into the bottle and lock it into place by sliding it under the bottles ridge. You'll then need to leave it in the fridge for a few hours in order for the purification to work but after that you're good to sup on better tasting purified water from one lump of charcoal. One lump of coal will give you 6 months worth of purification.

There are other great benefits to using water purifying gifts, like the fact that you'll never need to buy bottled water again and there are over 22 billion plastic water bottles discarded around the world every year. That's a lot of pollution that can be reduced by using this gift. The 800ml / 27 floz bottle is made from BPA free tritan, cork, stainless steel, silicon and you'll get 1 Binchotan active charcoal filter (6 months life).

This is an ingenious gift from Black + Blum, take a plant pot and a BBQ and morph them together to make a bbq plant pot that'll grow your plants and grill up your food at the same time. It has been designed to look like a terracotta pot with the BBQ concealed underneath it and it would go unnoticed in your garden if the BBQ was not is use.

If you're feeling truly green fingered you should plant some herbs in the top half of the Hot-Pot so that you can cut some off and glaze your meat and veg for that extra punch of flavour. The barbecue is heat insulated with a ceramic coating and it's made from steel, stainless steel 430 & comes with stainless steel tongs.

Black Milk Clothing from Australia have a great collection of funky leggings, swimsuits, dresses, skirts, bodysuits and tops. James Lillis is the head honcho behind the brand and his story is quite the tale of rags to success. No pun intended. His bio reads that he was broke several years back and with a few dollars in his pocket he decided to buy a sewing machine and some cheap fabric. This fabric turned out to be Nylon lining and as he explains:

'...nylon lining doesn't look particularly attractive, it meant I had to make it fitted. I made myself a tight shirt. It was tragic. The stitching was wrong, the pieces were cut weird, and the neck was a nothing more than a hole. And I loved it. I wore it constantly.'

His creations have been making their way around the fashionistas and it seems someone-somewhere has already come across his bold designs and gawped with excitement at them even if they didn't know it was him. These meaty muscle leggings simply jumped off the web and spanked me in the face, knee first, I just can't take my eyes off of them. In my mind, their beauty out weighs they're Gunther Von Hagens'ness. They're made in Australia from Polyester/Elastane and must be hand washed.

Rob Ryans shop hails from London (England) and is quite the deep thinking artist that packs his work with meaning. He created these Four Seasons, Four Plates for Wild & Wolf and they portray romatic settings over, you guessed it, four seasons.

His papercut artistic style on these plates portray images of people, birds and trees with stark poetic lyrics. Each plate measures 9 inches in diameter and are presented in a Rob Ryan papercut box.

Philippe Starck is a pretty nifty designer and I've bought a few items of his in the past. In thine own eyes as they'd say in middle England in the timeth of Shakespeare he doth be tad handy with thine quill, especially when it comes to organic design. He's mostly known for his latest work but some of his earlier stuff is rather special too like this elegant floor lamp designed for St. Germain-Lumiere, France 1978.

It uses a soft PL lamp of which is circumvented with red wire inside the tube that makes it all feel really tactile. I particluar like the chuncky handles that act as the lamp shield when laid on the ground or propped up against the wall. In true Starck style the lamp is switched on and off by turning the lamp over.

I remember growing watercress at school and I loved watching it grow from seed into something you could eat in a week. The fact that all you needed was a bit of damp tissue and sunlight to create food from seed blew my teeny mind. Seeds are natures best survival tactic that'll surpass our existence - sorry to be a bit morbid, but it is an already proven fact, look at dem poor dinosaurs with their little hands and big feet. One of the first thriving survivors to blossom after the big boom meteor were grasses and that's because the seeds were stored safely underground.

This experiment seed kit is one of those gifts that most kids would get a kick out of seeing something come to life in a speedy fashion. The cool thing about this seed kit is the fact that you can see the seeds roots grow in the clear all natural / vegan gel. If you want to give your children a lesson in nature then I'd suggest starting here because the seeds have been selected for their speed in growth and change so they'll see something new each couple of days. Just for reference the plants in the pic are 7 days old.

The kit comes with an easy step by step instruction guide with photo illustrations and you can add you can add observations into the pre-packed Science Journal. Diane from Vortex Crafts, creator of the seed kit explains that you will need adult supervision when it comes to heating up the food-safe gel in a pot of water for 3 minutes, but after that it's all hands on for the little blighters.

The lab-ware included in the kit is reusable so you can grow stuff till your hearts content and the seed growing kit includes: gel powder (vegan) / pre-measured seeds, peat pellet, paper/cotton seed starter, petri dish, beaker, pipette, 8 mini cups, 2 tall vials, 2 small plastic plates, 2 small plastic dishes, magnifying glass, tweezers, spoon, clay pot, measuring tape, science journal and an illustrated instruction guide. That's a lot of bang for your buck, happy potting!

Summer's come early in the UK and I'm hoping that it'll actually last longer than 1 week this year. I've already had 2 BBQ's and I've planned another for this weekend and the weekend after. Come rain or shine I'm going to be out in it grilling up some meat. One thing that's lacking in my barbecue repertoire is a really good bbq, I've got a table top one that does the job but finding one that comes packed with oodles of personality is pretty hard to come by, so when I stumbled across this pig shaped grill are knew I had to show it to you.

Terracotta (aka baked-earth) is a malleable, naturally sourced building material that has high heat retention, so it's perfect for this compact grill, and it doesn't damage our environment. It's compact size will feed 2 or more on rotation when you fancy grilling up dinner during a weekenight or weekend and it's a great bbq to take camping or picnicking.

They're beautifully crafted in my eyes and would make a great tray for your appetisers.

If you've got seafaring legs my wee bonnie lass and you like to go under, up and over without bringing up lunch then Innespace have the mother ship for you - it's probably the coolest thing since David Hasselhoff took to the beach in Bapwatch Baywatch - it's the Killer Whale inspired Seabreacher that's been perfected from it's predecessor J and X ranges.

It's a submersive that'll dive just below the waters surface and can propel itself out like a flying dolphin. Apart from the awesome fact that it actually does look like a real whale it's packing some serious tech that'll keep you bobbing around for hours. It has pectoral fins, a taller dorsal fin and a large tail fin to help you acheive a full 180 degree back flip.

It's packing a 255hp supercharged Rotax axial flow engine that'll give you a 50-55mph top speed ride on the surface and 25mph when submerged.

It's got a cockpit to drool over that'll make you feel like you're in a James Bond movie and it'll fit 2 people.

They do say good things come in small packages, well, rub thine eyes my saggabottom friends because big is definately the new small in the case of this 49' sq. Scrabble board that's so big it needs to be hung on a wall. It's been dubbed as the world's largest wall-mounted Scrabble game and its nearly 5 times the size of the original.

If that wasn't cool enough then your beady eyes are going to plop off your head if you have the cash to splurge out on the game because it's one of only nine in existence - someone say unique gift? The boards are handmade by John Kahn, known for creating colossal pop art.

There's some serious craftsmanship going on here that takes a skilled hand to put it all together so I'll go verbatim from Hammacher:

It's made from Russian birch plywood, the 3/4" deep back board is overlaid with the classic purple-hued background of the original game, laminated with a .023-gauge galvanized steel sheet, and covered by a heavy vinyl print of the playing board which is protected by a satin laminate. Bordered by a 3/4" x 2 1/2" birch frame that wraps from the front to the back, the board attaches to a wall with included hardware. The two 6' H x 5 5/8" W x 7" D birch tile racks are grooved and lined with felt, each accepting 50 of the included 100 tiles. Made from a 3/8" x 5/16" rare earth magnet sandwiched between two pieces of birch plywood, each 4 3/8" sq. x 3/8" thick tile's letter is sandblasted to a depth of 1/64", lacquered in black, sanded, and clear-coated to a finish that will last for generations. Board and racks: 88 1/2" H x 99 1/4" W x 7" D. (12 3/4 lbs.)

That's a lot to get your head around, but it would be worth every penny if you could gather openough of them to buy it, I regrettably will have to bow out, this is one gift that's unfortunately out of my reach.

If you're a complete nerdy geek buff like me and you're hooked on taking photos & videos with your phone then you're really going to like the Galileo. Galileo is an iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform with infinite spherical rotation capability. It's capable of infinite 360° pan-and-tilt at speeds up to 200° per second in any orientation.

What's even cooler is the fact that you can pair the device with your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch device to control Galileo. For instance, swiping in any direction will push Galielo in the opposite direction, Galileo reacts in real time to your swipe gestures from an untethered iOS device. Now, that's pretty cool.

That means that you could be in one country and control the device in another, that brings a whole new meaning to photography, cinematography, social networking, surveillance, baby watching and video conferencing. Galileo is currently a Kickstarter project so you'll need to pledge to get your hands on one, but it's oh-so-worth-it.

Hat Tip

If you don't want to spend twice the money for a floor and table light then you should get your hands on this lamp. It easily transforms from floor to table and back again by allowing the cable chord through the aluminium base. If you're wandering how the lamp seems to defy gravity then I'll let you into the secret on how black + blum have achieved this effect.

I originally thought that the cable was fortified with a bendable material but it's actually held in position with the use of a translusant thread attached from the lampshade to the ceiling. Clever little gift to fill up any room.
