Radio Controlled Duck
The latest upgrade to the classic Rubber Duck is here with this Radio Controlled Duck which is sure to make any bath time infinitely more fun.
Just plug him in to his charger box (only about 15 minutes for a full charge) and he's ready and set to go. Plop him in the water and watch him paddle around. The Duck, Remote Control, and Charger box are all co-ordinated in a nice bright yellow colour. Of course both the controller and the duck itself are waterproof.

Splat Stan
From the people who brought you 'Hanging Harry' and 'Dead Fred' comes Splat Stan. Another common household desktop item that has been given a whole new and highly amusing lease of life. No longer do your coasters need to be dull coloured bits of cork, they can now be bright pieces of silicone fashioned to resemble an unfortunate soul flattened in the prime of life by some gigantic, divine Tea mug.

iPod Alarm Clock
The iPod Alarm Clock is the mp3 alarm clock you have been searching for. With this alarm clock you can easily set your alarm to wake you with whatever your favourite song of the moment is – though perhaps not 'Wake me up before you go,go' – there are limits after all. You can easily set the alarm on your iPod to wake you with a specific Playlist, Album or Song, the Alarm Clock has an all important nine minute 'Snooze' (i.e. leave me the hell alone, this dream is more important than punctuality) function, and is adjustable so that it will fit more or less the whole family of iPods. It looks like a funked up traditional alarm clock, and the speakers are in the 'bells' on the top of the unit.
Mains powered, so you'll have no flat battery or recharging problems, and we reckon it's the alarm clock for the iPod generation. Wake up to something more tuneful than a bell or a beep, and considerably less depressing than the news.

Features
A traditional-look alarm clock that fits an iPod.
Set the alarm on your iPod and your choice of playlist, song or tone will blast out through the bell speakers.
A 9 minute 'Snooze' function.
An adjustable depth-dial dock to fit a 40GB, 60GB, 30GB, 20GB, Video iPod or a Nano.
Use the 'Snooze' button to scroll through your iPod.
Available in black, white or shocking pink.
Suitable for ages 12 years+.
Requires a mains adaptor (UK adaptor included).
Size: 14 x 14 x 7.5cm.

Wireless Outdoor Speakers
Enter into the world of cordless hi-fi! Not so long ago the only way to share your music with the great outdoors was to lug a ghetto blaster around the garden or buy a really long cable for your stereo speakers and pray for dry weather. But not any more, because these nifty wireless outdoor speakers render the aforementioned practices obsolete.

4 Port Tardis USB hub
The Doctor Who 4 port Tardis USB hub boasts four ports in which to plug your various gizmos. Simply plug in and you’re away. But here’s the good bit: every time you connect or disconnect a device, the blue light on the top of the Tardis flashes and that unmistakable de-materialisation ‘vworp, vworp’ sound starts sawing away at your lugholes. Thankfully it doesn’t actually vanish into the time vortex, so you can enjoy the classic grating din again and again by plugging in more devices or pressing the demo button.
