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. There’s a pretty smart mode which allows you to just shake the jars to turn them on, which means if they are hanging from trees they will come on randomly thanks to the wind which looks well, erm really pretty.

A truly great way to liven up any outdorr space and a great gift that will be the talking point amongst everybody who see’s them.

The best thing we came up with to do in 7 minutes was watch 1/3 of a Simpsons episode, we’d have to say that was time well spent. Another great thing you can is make an ice lolly (in 7 minutes you ask?), let us explain…

The Zoku Instant Ice Lolly Maker challenges Ronseal for the title of  doing “exactly what it says on the tin”. You decide upon the liquid you want to freeze, pour it directly into the provided mould and in just 7 minutes flat you’ll be enjoying your frozen treat, simples eh?

You can make an ice lolly out of whatever your imagination can come up with (so long as it will freeze), yogurt works a treat, inserting fruit is a great way to get the kids eating it and for the adult barbecues, certain alcohols do freeze (we’re nothing but educational in the important areas us), and this makes them great fun for all occasions.

If we were the keepers of the Oxford English dictionary (and we’re not, some smart types in Oxford we guess are), we’d sum the term Addictive up as: 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!

Water fights and more particularly, water guns, have come a long way. Gone are the tiny one handed pistol guns that hold little more than a dribble of water and now we’ve gotten serious.

There is of course nothing wrong with taking water fights seriously, there is a matter of pride at stake and you should arm yourselves with the best possible equipment possible. The AK47 Aqua Fire Water Gun should simply be billed as the daddy of all water-guns, and the daddy of water guns is what you shall be requiring for your water war.

A rapid-fire water pistol modelled on the original Kalashnikov model and capable of fireing 4 ‘water bullets’ per second, the Aqua Fire requires no pumping, has a range of up to 8 metres and a full ‘clip’ will last you about 60 seconds.

A bunch of wilted flowers you pick up from the garage on the way home just no longer cuts it  when it comes to romance – our women expect more!

With a good majority of the Gifts Guide UK office being male, we must admit that it took us a little while to get this one. The Name a Rose gift pack contains some seeds and a certificate, which you give to your loved one as a present and tell them to name it… name the seeds?

So you can head off to the local garden centre and pick up some cactus seeds whilst firing up the old inkjet printer, or you can go for the professional touch and truly add some romance into your loved one’s life.

The kit comes with everything you need to name the rose, which definitely helps. You simply fill in the enclosed registration form and your rose name will be registered on the Name A Rose database, published in the Name A Rose magazine, and submitted to the British Library.

We really don’t get it, but if it keeps “er indoors” happy, it’s good enough to make the website.

iWake-Up Sunrise Clock comes with a motion sensor snooze control which means rather than fumbling around for the snooze button, you simply wave your arms in front of it and it knows your not ready to get up just quite yet. You can set it to play the radio if you so wish or there is a soothing beeping sound to wake you up also.

We hate getting up in the mornings, but the iWake-Up Sunrise Clock did actually do it’s job on our road tests and make starting the day a slightly easier affair. A good job indeed.

(We do of course apologise unreservedly for the poor poetry you have had to witness above, it seemed good to us at the time, though we now realise, it’s not), so lets get back to the Twilight Umbrella…

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.

The original Twilight Umbrella comes studded with zillions of tiny blue fibre optic lights, the colour phasing umbrella, well phases through 5 different colours as you might expect.

Making long cold walks home at 2am in the morning a thing of the past, the Cash Stash Keychain is a nifty gadget which ensures you always have money 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.

The great thing about having electronic candles is that you don’t have to get off your bum to light them, candle wax doesn’t ruin your windowsills or sideboards and there’s absolutely no chance of the curtains catching fire when a breeze flows through the window. You can also set the the timer to four or 8 hours, meaning you don’t have to remember to blow them out.

Admittedly this product got pushed to the top of our review list because our managing director has a bit of a crush on the model in the picture (Gadget Girl Ella, From BBC2′s Something For The Weekend no less), but lets not let that detract from what is a seriously cool gadget here.

Could you want anymore from your portable barbecue? When it comes to The Grilletto, they tore up the rule book of problems associated with Barbecuing on the move, well and truly breaking the mould.

When the Grilletto is in it’s folded up position, the two grills act as a chimney, essentially turning it into a blast furnace which heats the charcoal to cooking temperature within 7 minutes flat. When you’re finished cooking, you fold it back up into the same chimney shape and it burns itself out at such extreme temperatures that the heat burns all the grease and remains from the grills.

It also comes with a snuff out pouch made from the same materials fireman’s clothes are made out of, meaning you can put it away even at extreme hot temperature’s. All of the ashes collect in the base, the carrying handles become the legs stopping you from burning any surface and they’ve packaged it up in a tough and beautifully well made, highly portable piece of kit, bravo to them indeed.
