The advert said ‘the helicopter you can fit in your pocket’ but we weren’t quite prepared for just how dinky the MX-1 really is. If Polly Pocket were a Columbian drug baron this would certainly be her vehicle of choice. She might use it to terrify the local villagers from her secret jungle hideout, but we just used it to terrify cats. And it really does fit in your pocket, controller and all.

The joy comes from trying to master the controls and bumping into walls, ceilings, floors and everything else between in the process. This RC helicopter will fly and it will make a sudden strafing attack on your face, family and furniture. With a little patience, however, it will eventually begin to behave its self. You’ll never be able to use it to fetch beer from the fridge but then that’s probably asking too much. Maybe next century.

There are a number of products like this on the market but what impressed us about the MX-1 is how the controller unit doubles not only as the charger but also as a nifty case for the helicopter. This means that when you get bored it can be neatly tucked into that bottom draw with all your other pointless but amusing novelty gadgets.

Great fun, if only in short bursts. The MX-1 carries enough power for around five minutes of continuous flight but is quick and easy to charge. If Poly Pocket had to outrun the authorities she might be forced to make a quick landing. The good news is that after only another five minutes of hiding out, recharging in her neat carry-case, she’ll be back in the air again.

Go Polly, go!

There aren’t many gifts you can give that you’ll enjoy just as much as the recipient, however you may just enjoy the Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit slightly more than the loved one your giving it to.

To give this to your girlfriend is like giving her a women’s beach volleyball DVD you can both settle down and enjoy, only she’ll actually enjoy receiving this. To give this to the man in your life is like giving him a lifetime membership to your local “exotic” dance club, and lets face it, what man isn’t going to love you for that?

The pole comes in three sections that simply slot together and is spring loaded ensuring it remains in place with no screws or bolts required.

The kit comes complete with a Peekaboo dance moves book, 100 Peekaboo pounds and garter to put them in during “the show”. It’s fantastic fun, it’s great exercise and it’s perfect for a night in with the loved one.

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.
