• Instant Snow in a Can

The weather in this country has a serious attitude problem. It’s like a surly teenager, mood and temperament swinging wildly. Summers are plagued by rain and wind and then we have to endure the whole icy winter wishing, hoping, nay dreaming that the view outside our window will be filled with the deep crispy whiteness of snow. Everyone knows it should be sunny in the summer and snowy in the winter, but the weather just won’t co-operate. Take matters into your own hands and use new Instant Snow in a Can – it looks and feels like real snow! Just pop open this magical can and add water to the sachet of white powder found inside, you’ll soon have your living room looking like a winter wonderland. You needn’t worry about the mess, a couple of days is all it takes for the snow to dehydrate and then you can vacuum it up, or spray some more water on it to get that Christmassy feeling all over again.

Price or the Instant Snow in a Can is £3.99.

• Rhythm Sticks

Drumsticks that don’t need a drum – holy wonderment! Each of these wicked drumsticks a.k.a Rhythm Sticks has a speaker in its base, and when you ‘hit’ the air with them, they make a great drum sound! Is this just us, or isn’t this like everyone’s dream come true? You’d think so if the racket going on ’round here was anything to go by. Any time someone cracks a joke there’s a scramble for the stix so someone can do a drum roll and cymbal crash. Switches on the sticks let you choose between a classical drum beat, an electronic drum beat (so we can all drum along to the intro of East Enders now) and a cymbal crash and the ends even light up with each beat – vital for night drumming.

Rhythm Sticks price is £9.95.

• USB VHS Converter

We all know VHS tapes were rubbish. Dodgy tracking, limited lifespan, noisy spools, below par quality…we could go on. So we will. Bulky, clunky, fragile, ridiculously slow to rewind – the list is truly endless. But for all its faults, VHS was the leading video format for almost thirty years. And that’s why you’ve got stacks of tapes languishing in the loft and piled up in the cupboard. And that’s why you need the brilliant USB VHS Converter.

The price for the USB VHS Converter is £149.95.
