On the grand scale of things, there’s just not really much to enjoy about rain. Firstly it’s wet, which is slightly annoying when you’re caught out in it without an umbrella. But then umbrellas are rather dull themselves as they normally come in navy blue or black or some or some other dreary colour. Step up and take your bow Twilight Umbrella, we applaud you for making walking in the rain more entertaining than a spider on ice skates.

An ideal weekend away to us at GGUK towers is often one filled with a lot of rain, a field which becomes a mud pit and some of the greatest bands on the planet today at one of the UK’s many music festivals. Large enough to sleep up to four people in some comfort, 5 at a squeeze and 6 if your happy to sleep on top of each other, this officially licensed VW tent measures a massive 388cm length x 182cm height meaning you don’t have to crawl around on your hands and knees just to get changed.

These days everybody has a secret talent. Whether it’s the girl in the office who can fit her whole fist in her mouth, the window cleaner that whistles the theme tune to Dallas on every visit (maybe it’s just ours?) or the guy who you play football with that can head the ball up to a thousand times, which gets a little boring after about the 20th if we’re honest. The Britain’s Got talent Judges Buzzer allows you to show what you think to all of these weird and wonderful “talents” in a way they are really going to understand.

If Carlsberg made puzzles, they’d make the best puzzles in the world we imagine and they would look something very similar to the Addictaball. A labyrinth style game where you have to guide your ball along the passageways, twisting and turning the Addictaball anywhere up to 360 degrees in order to achieve the ultimate aim of getting your ball to the end of the puzzle, which isn’t easy.

The world would have you believe that the best things in life come in small packages, though after laying our eyes on the Giant Chupa Chups lollipop I’m afraid we are going to have to disagree. 75 times larger than a standard Chupa Chups Lollipop your dentist isn’t going to tell you that this will make a great gift idea for anybody, we however having just finished one off couldn’t think of a greater gift that we would like to receive so ignore your dentist and believe us!

Just what are Chatimals? Imagine for a moment if you will an experiment involving a hamster, a parrot and a truck load of helium… well you won’t be too far wrong.

The Chatimal is tipped by the toy experts to be a contender for toy of the year.

Terry has an infra red motion sensor which launches him into a tirade of potty mouth insults every time somebody approaches, which is especially amusing when it’s the boss. If motion sensors aren’t your thing then Terry comes with an “insult now” button which can launch him into his repertoire on demand, along with a “not-so-rude mode” and “safe mode” for when the mother in law comes to stay … maybe.

We imagine there aren’t many pleasures in life that would be as cool as having a monkey blowing your nails dry after you’ve had them painted. Getting a real monkey to do this might not be easy and would certainly cost you a lot of PG Tips, which we hear they are rather fond of. Thankfully though some clever person came up with the Monkey Nail Blower which doesn’t feature a real monkey, but is almost as much fun when this little guy gets to work blowing your nails dry.

So you spend hours making yourself look good only to step out of the house with your boring old earbuds? We don’t think so buster!

We’re not entirely sure why we love this so much, if we wanted to be bossed around on a long car journey to the point of deliberately driving into a tree, we’d simply take the missus along with us. However the Sat Nag almost delivers a sense of nostalgia, taking us back to remember those stressful car journeys where the wife simply feels she knows much better than we do, what utter joy!
