We do however like one kind of worm and those are the ones that are giant in proportions and extremely tasty indeed (for those of us who like eating worms). We’re of course talking about the fantastic Giant Gummy Worms.

These Giant Gummi Worms are a massive 128 times larger than a regular Gummy Worm and measure a gigantic 26 inches long and they have a year long shelf life meaning you don’t have to finish it off in one go, though it’s definitely fun to try!

So now we’ve given you the highlights of what would make a fantastic gift idea, we’d like to leave you with a rhyme that we’ve been thinking about ever since we first saw these fantastic Gummy delights….

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I’ll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones, Eensie weensy squeensy ones, See how they wiggle and squirm!

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one, Oh how they wiggle and squirm!
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one, Oh how they wiggle and squirm!

I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice, And throw the skins away!
Nobody knows how fat I grow, On worms three times a day!

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I’ll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones, Eensie weensy squeensy ones, See how they wiggle and squirm!

Yes it only seems 10 minutes ago (it was in-fact a couple of years) that we were raving about the Addictaball as being the most challenging puzzle we’d ever faced, the Perplexus Epic certainly takes that crown away.

Epicness in a plenty, the you guide the ball-bearing through the tracks, down the steps, through tubes and down falls as you try to complete the puzzle. You need to twist and turn the Perplexus Epic 360 degree’s in order to work your way around the maze and it certainly isn’t as simple as it may first appear.

Taking the obstacles and concepts that other 3D mazes introduced to an extreme you’ll need your wits about you to complete the puzzle and make your way through no less than 125 different stages, all designed to challenge your dexterity and more often than not, make you very frustrated.

We’re also a fan of the little stand that comes with it, meaning you can leave it in plain site on your desk and then watch as people come along and try to take up the challenge and leave completely defeated, though thats just us being mean maybe.

It turns out a Waboba is a ball (we feel quite lucky it wasn’t a goat having been sent one in the post), but not just any ball oh no. This isn’t a ball you just kick or throw. The Waboba Ball Pro bounces on water… somewhat like Jesus we’re told.

So OK, maybe Jesus bounced on the water, maybe he didn’t, but we think you get the idea. The Waboba Ball Pro bounces off the water like a fat man on a a space hopper – it makes no sense but it’s great fun.

Simply this years must have beach accessory, the Waboba Balls are made of polyurethane and have a Lycra coating which allows them to bounce off the water at great speed once you have perfected the technique. The Waboba ball pro succeeds the Waboba ball extreme and bounces much higher, further and faster than its predecessor.

Even without a purpose we found the NeoCube Alpha completely impossible to put down, so head our warning, this little puzzle is extremely addictive.

Composed of 216 individual high-energy rare-earth magnets (and who doesn’t love magnets), the NeoCube Alpha allows you to create literally hundreds of shapes and patterns.

We kicked things off by trying to create a cube, which isn’t as simple as it first appears. The pyramid was good fun to construct and then the girls in the office started making jewellery and … well we lost interest from there on in, but we’re told they look “fab!”

It maybe utterly pointless, but as pringles have taught us, once you pop, you just can’t stop.

You might not think that such a simple low tech ball-through-maze game would be able to hold your attention for very long, but this thing is frustratingly addictive and sometimes annoying puzzle will keep you playing for hours until you become lord of the sphere!

To master the addict-a-ball you must guide your ball through a huge array of challenges, over platforms, through arches, down holes, vertical roll through’s meaning you must twist and turn the ball up to 360 degree’s in order to reach your goal.

There are two versions available, the large has 138 numbered sections you have to work your way through with the travel version still sporting 100 numbered sections to conquer. But be warned, working your way through the labyrinth like structure is no easy task and if your anything like us, you will lose many hours from your day whilst trying to figure it out.

It’s great fun and makes a great present idea for almost anybody and it’s even more fun watching their frustration growing and growing. It will sit their taunting them like a chocolatier in a weight watchers meeting, much to your amusement we’re sure.

What we do remember from our chocolatey drinking session important product review testing, was that the Choc Shots work well with literally any liqueur, our personal favourites were Tia Maria and Baileys which both tasted great!

We also remember the headaches the following morning, but I think we’re missing the point. The Choc Shots for the first time in maybe a couple of months (as we’re very busy people) bought together everybody in our office. Everybody stayed behind after work to try them out and it created a great social experience. Any product that achieves this gets our vote and that’s why we think the Choc Shots will make a fantastic gift.

You get 12 dark chocolate shot glasses in a beauftiful black presentation box comeplete with ribbon. They are well priced and as I think we’ve demonstrated in our product testing, they create a real buzz. Whilst we recommend them and think that they are fab, use them sensibly, we don’t want you bringing your hangover fueled rants to us when your heads pounding a little!

It is of course also perfect for anybody that you think talks far too much, this monster of a lollipop will keep them quiet for a good few days at the very least.

75 times larger than a standard Chupa Chups Lollipop the Giant Chupa Chups Lollipop is certainly a bit of a mouthful (go on – we dare you to try it – you know you want to!).

If you are one of the few people in this world able to create a flame by rubbing two sticks together (we salute you good sir!), then you probably don’t need the handy and rather cool Fire Stash Keyring.

However since many Boy Scout Skills (dib,dib,dib) don’t translate that well in certain grown-up situations, then you will probably welcome a Fire Stash Keyring into your life!

The Fire Stash’s tiny and titchy zinc alloy capsule unscrews to reveal a fully functioning and refillable lighter. It boasts a waterproof neoprene ‘O’ Ring around its thread, so wherever you may wander and however damp you get, you will always have the joy of fire at your fingertips! Caught in the rain? Skinny dipping in the Seine? No matter! Your Fire Stash Keyring will keep your flames safe and sound, which is great if you’re the outdoorsy type or even if you just happen to be prone to getting wet!

Even non-smokers can get a little excited about the Fire Stash Keyring as camping holidays, barbecue’s and Barry Manilow concerts’ will all provide ample opportunities to whip it out and wave your flame aloft!

It’s important of course to find ways to keep warm whilst out and about, we recommend hats and scarves, but you might also want to take a look at the Mini Hottie Hand Warmer.

On those cold winter days you could if you wish take a fully fledged hot water bottle out and about with you on your travels, though this doesn’t seem overly practical to us given it’s size, not to mention the funny looks you’d get whilst waiting for your train.

This is where the Mini Hottie Hand Warmer comes into it’s own, by delivering about 45 minutes worth of heat when you most need it, this hand warmer is small enough to fit within your pocket, yet with temperatures of up to 130°F it’s robust enough to really do its job.

To activate the heat when you require it you simply press the floating metal disc that is inside the hand warmer and through a clever chemical reaction (far too advanced for us to explain we’re afraid), the liquid inside solidifies and heats up within 5 seconds flat, which is pretty clever. To save you from getting a shock from the sudden heat the Mini Hottie Hand Warmer comes complete with a knitted protective jacket which is extremely cute looking allows you to safely hold it in within your hands without hurting yourself, which is helpful.

One of the greatest things about the Mini Hottie Hand Warmer is that it is reuaeable, once used simply place it in a pan of oiling water for a few minutes and it will return to liquid form, ready for the next time you need that sudden burst of heat on the move.

If when you were young (or even now your older…) you ever played that little game where you somewhat frustratingly repeat exactly what someone says to you continuously, then we would like to introduce you to your new best friend.

Your mother probably told you that copying what people say in order to wind them up isn’t big, and isn’t clever. The Chatimal however repeats whatever it hears back in a very low or extremely high pitched voice, which we have to admit (sorry mum) is very, very funny.

Tipped by the toy experts to be a contender for toy of the year the cute looking Chatimal is simple to use, simply press it’s paw, he’ll listen for up to 30 seconds and then repeat what he’s heard with some hilarity, even if you spoke to him in french! This fury little chap is set to mimic the world… we apologize for the frustration he’s going to cause in advance.

If we were the keepers of the Oxford English dictionary (and sadly we’re not, some smart types in Oxford we guess are), we would only be able to sum the term Addictive up with one simple but somewhat appropriate phrase: Ballz Cubed.

If after reading this review you go on to buy the Ballz Cubed, don’t come back on here and complain that we didn’t warn you. Here let us make this ultimately 110% sports star clear: Ballz Cubed will result in less productivity at work, you will become more popular as everyone will want a play but you may lose your social life as putting it down isn’t easy.

Now that we have the health warnings out of the way, well tell you exactly what Ballz Cubed is. Made of 216 individual magnetic balls, the aim of the puzzle is to function as many cool patterns as you can. Can you form the cube from scratch? Can you master the pyramid? Can you line them up so that you have 216 balls in a row making a kind of magnetic whip (oooeerrr missus)?

It’s somewhat sillily simple, you’ll wonder why you want to keep playing and your boss will hate you for taking them to work. We give you the Ballz Cubed, enjoy!

Making long cold walks home at 2am in the morning a thing of the past, the Cash Stash Keychain is a nifty gizmo which ensures that you always have money readily available for those unexpected emergencies. Such a simple idea that will undoubtedly help at some point in your life.

The Cash Stash Keychain is a waterproof, aircraft grade, aluminium keyring which keeps a bank note safety attached to your keychain.

We love this in concept, it’s a great idea and we in the office all have them now, but we have come across a few downsides which you should be aware of. If your anything like us you’ll have the tendency to realise drunkenly that you actually have another £20 to spend on drinks and finding yourself waking up in a taxi with an IOU stored nicely away in your Cash Stash which the taxi driver won’t accept, is well, slightly embarrassing.

Secondly is the fact that if you have a tendency to lose your keys, it’s even more gutting when you realise you’ve lost 20 quid that was stored away in your Cash Stash too.

However, we do believe the benefits of the Cash Stash outweigh the negatives and if you just don’t get too drunk (ahem), all will be well. A stylish and practical gift idea for almost everyone.

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!

Put quite simply, its brilliant. Press the button on the front and a beautifully recorded woman’s voice will deliver one of many patronising Sat Nav type remarks, such as:

“I know you’re a man, but it’s been 35 minutes now, so can you please admit you’re lost and ask someone the way”.

“In 100 metres turn left. No right, err, no left. Sorry, I never can tell my left from my right”.

“In 100 meters I’m going to talk to you in that special voice, which should let you know you’ve upset me in some way that is bound to be your fault”.

We probably love this so much because they are so precise, we’ve all been there and we’re in no doubt we’ll be there again. The sat nag really will get you no where fast, but we figure if you press the button every time wifey is giving you an earful, maybe she’ll get the hint.
