Not just a watch, the R2-D2 Whizzwatch doubles up as a radio-controlled robot.
Yes, everyone’s favourite movie droid is back, this time as a Star Wars-themed watch – just unclip R2-D2 from the watch, place it on your desk, then use the digital watch’s buttons to move your little friend around.
The set comes complete with both batteries and spare batteries, as well as a screwdriver to slot them in, selling for £19.95.
I don’t think I’ve ever used the words ‘DIY’ and ‘fun’ in the same sentence, but I’ll make an exception with the Tetris Tiles.
Saying that, it might not be much fun if you’re up against a deadline for finishing that kitchen or bathroom. Take your pick from two options, the gamer’s version, where you have to connect all the different shapes into one complete wall of tiles or the cheat’s version, with the design already made on a mosaic-style sheet.
The tiles are custom-made in the UK using Italian ceramics and in a never-ending choice of colours. No price listed as yet though – apparently, that’s based on your order and colour choice so drop them a line for a quote.
Sing along to the tune of the Self Preservation Society as you play the new Scalextric limited edition Italian Job set. Read more
There are fewer more iconic women across the world than everyone’s favourite plastic creation, Barbie. In all her various guises, she’s long been a mainstay among kids and adult collectors alike.

Comprised of a matching passport holder and luggage tag, these would make a great gift for the girly or even for children who’re decidedly jetset. Practicality isn’t forgotten, with a clear window for your tag details, and a sturdy structure for keeping your passport safe and sound.
