Microwave bears and banana protectors top Christmas list

A Christmas tree is a must at this time of year, but who needs needles all over the place? Problem solved, with a handy electric tree, complete with realistic snowing action. It comes in two versions – 120 centimetres or 170cm high. Too tall for your office? Then try the USB-powered tree, only 10cm.

The polar icecaps may be melting, but Sleepy Bear is snug as a bug in the microwave, where his filling of wheat husks and lavender is warming to just the right temperature to make your bed all cosy. Like a hot water bottle, with no embarrassing leaks!

Power up the microwave again, this time to heat up your Slippies – slippers made of linseed and lavender which only take 90 seconds to bring you a whole evening of toasty toes.

For the busy executive who can’t make it to the gym, try the Powerball, developed by NASA to help astronauts train their muscles in the weightless conditions of space. The ball has a motor inside that can reach speeds of 15,000 revolutions a minute, the purpose of which is not entirely clear.

Other gifts you can’t do without: your own digital breath test to check you haven’t had one glühwein too many, only €598.95; a banana protector to stop your mid-morning fruit from being squashed in your bag; a solar powered charger for mobile phone; and finally the Poken, a digital business card. Just hold your Poken up to someone else’s Poken, and they’ll have all your details in a flash. Put the cute back into executive!
