The Fairy Jars are all just an illusion of course and no fairies were hurt in the making of any of them. These enchanting jars are powered by the magic of the sun (we of course mean by this that they are solar powered) and contain six LED lights which gently fade in and out creating a truly beautiful ambiance. If the sun doesn’t have his hat on you can simply pop in an AA battery to make the magic happen for you and they look absolutely great hanging from a tree, on the lawn or to illuminate your garden furniture.

Britain we are told, has talent. The only problem being that finding it is more difficult than tracking down the one remaining Dodo. Imagine if you will, you are sitting in your office and one of your beloved and very well respected colleagues comes up with yet another truly stupid idea.

See If dolphins were indeed that intelligent, they’d have got themselves one of these nifty Bladefish Sea Scooters by now.. giving us the dolphin version of a couch potato we imagine, as it lazes it’s way through the ocean taking in the scenery. Diving is great, taking in the ocean from underwater is a magical experience, but all that exercise making us healthy as we swim down to depths of sea monsters? That’s just not for us.
