Gifts for Him

The Lego brand continues to take over the Christmas Toy list as it has done for the past few years.

This years Lego offering focuses on their popular Ninja range. The Japanese style Fire Temple comes complete with Lord Garmadon and his ghoulish skeleton army. Boo! Hiss!

Amazing Amazon sell the Lego Ninjajo Fire Temple for £61.99. You may even get free UK delivery.

The staple Lightsaber makes a welcome return on the list this year. This new and improved weapon has super duper light and sound effects and still continues to delight Star Wars fans from all decades!

To activate the lightsaber and become a Jedi simply press a button to light up the handle. Nifty little motion sensors will then trigger the special sound effects when swung around – sorry – used in battle.

If this is on your little boys wish list I can guarantee the whole family will be playing it by lunch time on Christmas Day.

For kids from 8 to 98, the Vortex Nitron Blaster is the latest in the Nerf range. The battery operated disc blaster has an amazing array of functions for optimum firing power whilst in battle with the enemy.

You can reload faster than ever, shoot quicker than ever with a push of the acceleration trigger and an enviously precise aiming capacity when using the flashing electronic sniper scope.

I’ve been experiencing a recent spate of being late for meetings, buses and even my own deadlines. Last night the light bulb went off in my head and I realised that I’ve become too dependent on my mobile phone (which lives in my handbag) to tell the time. What I actually need to do is start wearing a watch again.

And on my quest to find one I stumbled upon the Watch A Gift website. Despite the puntastic name it actually has some really funky watches sitting comfortably amongst some classic examples too.

This Zebra Bangle Watch for £14.99 is my favourite and would make a great present for my niece this Christmas.

If you’re not sure what to get Mum on 3rd April for Mother’s Day, it’s always safe to stick to something useful. But I’ve just happened to find a pressie that’s pretty, practical and personalised!

This silver engraved Photo Keyring can be bought from Getting Personal for under £20 too so it should be within most people’s budget, but if it’s a bit on the pricey side for you why not club together with brothers and sisters to get it as a joint pressie.

This pool table is really too cool for school but would make a fantastic affordable gift. Find it at GenieGadgets.com and buy for just £19.95 or try and win it for free!

Create the ultimate home games room that all your mates would be jealous of.
