The painted, wooden box contains six tiny cotton figures. With them comes a leaflet which tells that the Guatemalan Indians have traditionally used such dolls to solve all of their problems. At bed-time you remove one of the dolls for each of your current problems (it being assumed, correctly we hope, that you never have more than six worries at any one time). Share an anxiety with one of your Trouble Dolls, then replace it in the box. The dolls will solve your problems while you sleep.

Open the creature's jaws and press down on its teeth one at a time. Sooner or later you will find the tooth which will make the jaws snap shut frighteningly but quite harmlessly on your finger - unless you can get it out of the way in time, which is the plan. A different tooth trips the mechanism each time. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:07 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414208&a=95257&m=2189 Superb robotic bug that is activated by noise or movement.

It comes in dehydrated form, looking not unlike an old bird's-nest. When it is placed in water, it springs to life transformed within a few hours to a verdant fern-like plant. If it is allowed to dry out it returns to its original apparently-dead state. This process can be repeated indefinitely even after it has been transplanted into soil. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:10 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414221&a=95257&m=2189 The base rock and chemicals required are contained in the plastic box in which the crystals will be grown and will eventually act as a pedestal for the finished object.

Daddy duck is 9cm, mummy duck is a little smaller and the ten baby ducks are 4cm. Made of tough durable plastic, they squeak if you squeeze them. Twelve times the fun. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:11 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414230&a=95257&m=2189 Folklore tells us that this kind of little 5cm terracotta figure was given to children in the German Black Forest when they left home. The Guardian Angel was said to watch over them and bring them luck, and the tradition continues. Each Angel is handmade and prettily packaged with a certificate to be personalised, and would make a well-received little gift. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:11 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414231&a=95257&m=2189 Wind him up and watch him waddle steadily along.

It's the easiest way to sow, with a remarkably high germination rate. Just snap the 'match' off and push it into soil or compost. There are five varieties: Alpine Strawberry, Herb, Butterfly Plant, Sweet William and an assortment of Wild Flowers. Pack of five. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:12 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414235&a=95257&m=2189 An old classic! Fill the container with water and blow into the whistle spout to produce an unusual warbling sound. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:12 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414236&a=95257&m=2189 Writing is invisible until rubbed over by the other 15cm pen, after which it appears for easy reading. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:13 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414237&a=95257&m=2189 A clever little 10cm device that allows you to perform a classic illusion.

It is, allegedly, how folk predict weather in Maine. (Where's that? Top right, almost Canada, we're told.) Tack it up outside, and it bends down when foul weather is approaching, then up again for fine. Some 38cm long and very much 'hand-crafted' it comes on a card full of "Here's what other people say about their weathersticks" testimonials which are a joy in themselves. From Texas a 75-year-old writes to assure us it works even in the Deep South. What a wonderful present for all those people who have everything - except a Woodman's Weatherstick! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:13 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414241&a=95257&m=2189 This all-metal Potato Gun claims to be the 'original', and it certainly has an old-fashioned feel. As well as potato pieces, it fires the rubber pellets provided, caps and operates as a water pistol. Hours of summer fun for a surprisingly wide age-range. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:13 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414242&a=95257&m=2189 It may look utterly ridiculous, but then you start to think about situations when you can't easily hold an umbrella... and suddenly it seems like a good idea. The strap adjusts to fit all head sizes. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:13 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414244&a=95257&m=2189 The cardboard sheep is assembled by slotting the pre-cut pieces together. The completed sheep model is then placed over a small dish (provided) of magic solution. After a couple of hours there will be evidence of growth starting and after a couple of days the sheep will be covered in thick fragile 'woolly' crystals which will last indefinitely, as long as they are not disturbed. Quite astonishing! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:14 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414245&a=95257&m=2189 Grotesque 8cm soft rubbery face which can be manipulated with fingers from the back creating many different expressions. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:14 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414246&a=95257&m=2189 Certain to be loved by young boys particularly, the plastic speaker fits on to the handle-bar of any bicycle. When the handle is 'revved', loud and realistic motorbike noises are produced. It might also be appreciated by middle-aged motor-cycle fanatics who should know better. No batteries required. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:14 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414247&a=95257&m=2189 Pack of 2 D batteries 28 Aug 2009 23:45:14 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414248&a=95257&m=2189 It really does work, (almost) every time, certainly often enough to be genuinely useful rather than just a curious gadget. The thread is inserted, the needle pushed into the funnel and the lever pressed. Ingenious and a thoughful little 5cm present for almost anyone. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:15 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414249&a=95257&m=2189 Cleverly designed 10cm battery-operated car that can get itself out of almost any tricky situation. Tough plastic, it trundles relentlessly forward, until its path is obstructed when it will roll over backwards, landing on its wheels, and move off again in the opposite direction. Battery included. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:15 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414251&a=95257&m=2189 Pack of 4 AAA batteries. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:15 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414254&a=95257&m=2189 A frantic wind-up beat-the-clock game. All the shaped plastic pieces must be inserted into the correct slots before the timer expires and throws them all into the air. A tray in the side houses the pieces and scoring pegs, making it an ideal travel game, (21 x 12½)cm. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:15 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414255&a=95257&m=2189 Strong, well-made and smart enough to appeal to almost any age, and, at nearly 15cm square, large enough to hold a reasonable amount of loot. Three precise turns of the dial are required to open the hinged door. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:16 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414256&a=95257&m=2189 Many forms of juggling are popular, but plate-spinning has been neglected. We supply a plastic plate, a specially designed stick and a leaflet of hints and instructions. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:16 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414258&a=95257&m=2189 This ingenious and invaluable book (standard paper-back, 224 pages) covers many interpretations of the idea of 'saving money'. One section, for instance, gives detailed advice on how to avoid paying for things which can be acquired free, or, where this is impossible, how to reduce the cost. Another section lists, with phone numbers etc, the sources of the best bargains in almost every imaginable field. And throughout it is thoroughly entertaining to read or dip into. Buy one for yourself, and at least one more as a present for almost anyone. Saving money starts here of course: cover-price is £4.99, but from us, it's only... 28 Aug 2009 23:45:16 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414259&a=95257&m=2189 A piece of high-quality soap from a leading German cosmetic manufacturer, safe and in compliance with all regulations. A detailed sculpture of a bald cat, it comes in a sealed bag inside a box. When exposed to air, it begins to grow hair which after a few days becomes long and silky. So it remains, a source of wonder, until it is used for washing, when it reverts for ever to its hairless form. And that's not all, for after much use a tiny plastic mouse is found embedded inside it. The hirsute cat is such an appealing figure that we suspect that it often remains permanently on display without so much as ever getting its feet wet. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:16 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414260&a=95257&m=2189 A simple and sensibly priced version of the old favourite where, once set in motion, the metal balls demonstrate the 'action-and-reaction' phenomenon as they attempt perpetual motion. 11cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:17 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414261&a=95257&m=2189 When you spin a coin or a lid on the table, as it falls over it will oscillate loudly for a few seconds before finally coming to rest. This is the phenomenon upon which EULER'S DISC depends, but here all has been devised to produce an unbelievably efficient and spectacular performance. The disc to be spun is metal, surprisingly heavy, 8cm in diameter, an inch thick with its rim and top decorated with highly reflective, almost holographic coating. The surface on which it is to be spun is a slightly concave framed mirror 23cm in diameter. And what happens when (“no skill required”, honest) you spin it? It spins for more than a minute, very noisily, giving off wonderful reflections when the light is right. Gradually the oscillations become faster and faster until they are no more than vibrations. And then, unimaginably suddenly, everything stops. All observers are transfixed. How does it do it? Magnets? A motor? When you tell them that it is only gravity they are incredulous. It's a wonderful diversion. Every household should have one. We haven't convinced you? Risk it! Returned goods are a huge nuisance to us, and we wouldn't push something as hard as this unless we were sure that no-one would be disappointed by it! Incidentally, if you want to seem clever you need to know that Euler was a 18th century Swiss physicist, pronounced “Oiler”. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:17 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414262&a=95257&m=2189 Inflate, then place under a cushion or on a seat where it emits loud rude noises when sat upon. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:17 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414263&a=95257&m=2189 The life-sized furry creature trundles endlessly forwards on hidden wheels, propelling the 12cm diameter plastic ball in which it resides. Just like the real thing, and great entertainment for cats and dogs. Requires 1 x AAA battery 28 Aug 2009 23:45:19 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414264&a=95257&m=2189 A few packets of these on the table are guaranteed to create chaos and hilarity at any party. They inflate to 45cm and soar noisily around when released. Superior and great value. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:20 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414265&a=95257&m=2189 Temporarily decorate the skin using these tiny 4cm gemstones. Safe and easily removed. Assorted designs. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:20 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414266&a=95257&m=2189 The car free-wheels efficiently so that it is propelled rapidly along when the balloon is inflated. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:21 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414267&a=95257&m=2189 Chain making is a compulsive activity to entertain a wide age range, and a pack in almost anyone's stocking (or earlier) should buy several minutes of peace and yield a satisfying reward. The standard pack contains 72 strips of paper, fully gummed on one side, to make over six metres of chain. The metallic version (07037) includes 36 strips, in six glistening colours making nearly three metres of chain. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:21 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414268&a=95257&m=2189 A 6cm tub of brightly-coloured gunge which when plunged into by fingers produces a distinctly lavatorial sound. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:21 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414271&a=95257&m=2189 A simple two-piece cardboard fir tree is placed in the container of liquid supplied. Within a few hours colourful flowers begin to appear, and grow on to produce an astonishing and attractive thing which will last almost indefinitely if protected and sensibly positioned. It comes in a box which fully explains and illustrates what to do and expect. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:22 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414272&a=95257&m=2189 Everyone has tried to create figures out of shadows cast by hands on a wall. In the 1920s in America, a book was published on how to achieve quite exceptional results in this most ephemeral of arts, and in this A6 book we have reproduced its thirty-two examples. It amuses almost everyone, irrespective of age. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:22 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414273&a=95257&m=2189 This rubbery smiley-man can be stretched to about twice the original size. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:22 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414274&a=95257&m=2189 Colourful 26cm Chinese paper fan which folds down into the plastic handle.

And there's a huge choice in this catalogue with many within the required 2 x 3 (5 x 8 cm).

Their eggs evolved to survive period of drought, only to hatch once there has been sufficient rainfall. This rare characteristic enables us to safely store them until a time when it is convenient to care for them. Their relatively simple care, fascinating properties, energetic behaviour and short life-span, makes them excellent educational project for schools whilst being fascinating and fun for any family.The small pack contains Triops eggs, instructions for their care, food, water conditioner and a handy "Thermo-Strip" to ensure the water stays at the optimum temperature. 7cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:24 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414281&a=95257&m=2189 Pack of six 9cm crayons which can safely be used to scribble on baths, tiles etc. Produce works of art, write messages or play games!

Colours may vary. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:24 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414283&a=95257&m=2189 An assortment of gruesome figures, very gooey and stretchy.

The foil sachets contain freeze dried ice-cream which lasts almost indefinitely, making it suitable for long space flights. As they are eaten, saliva in the mouth re-hydrates the ultra-light chunks, returning them to their original state. (Warm ice cream is particularly strange.) 28 Aug 2009 23:45:24 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414285&a=95257&m=2189 Eat the same food NASA Astronauts eat on space missions.

The Mug Boss fits around standard sized ceramic mugs, instantly turning them into an office organiser, with pockets for pens, rulers, paper clips and all those useful bits of fluff that accumulate. Styled like a work belt, it would look equally at home in a workshop, making it one of those presents for men that no one knows what to buy for as well as a good way to re-cycle stained and elderly looking mugs that no-one drinks from unless they're desperate. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:25 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414289&a=95257&m=2189 Anyone of a certain age will remember this iconic noise maker (or pocket electronic organ as it is promoted) from the 70s and the forerunner of personal keyboards. Packed with resistors, oscillators and diodes, it's played by touching a stylus against a metal keyboard to make stylised electronic sounds that have inspired musicians like David Bowie, Pulp and The White Stripes. It was famously promoted by Rolf Harris at the end of the 60s and went on to sell over three million pieces. This re-launch is very close to the original with volume control, vibrating effects and now the ability to plug in to an MP3 player and play along with the songs. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:25 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414290&a=95257&m=2189 A celebration of 80 years of Jelly Babies! Jelly babies were born at the end of the First World War, although at the time they were christened Peace Babies. They went out of production due to shortages during the Second World War and weren't revived until 1953, when they were re-named as Jelly Babies. Just like their younger relatives, the all new Jellyatrics each have their own name, colour, characteristics and, of course, flavour: Bryan Bashful, for instance, is a retired university professor with a walking stick and is raspberry flavoured, while Frau Zimmer tastes of oranges and likes baking. There are five delicious characters in all, so go ahead, gobble a Grandad or gnaw on a Nanny. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:26 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414291&a=95257&m=2189 Yes, the beak is back! Emu is starring in a brand new TV show with Toby, son of Rod Hull who along with his feathered friend was a regular fixture on children's TV throughout the 70s and 80s, lived in a pink windmill and created the most infamous edition of the Parkinson chat show of all time. These superb hand puppets are smaller versions of the real thing, with the trademark yellow beak, soft blue fur and long neck. It's large enough that most adult hands fit in as well as children's, allowing all of Emu's expressiveness and madcap antics to be enacted in your own home - prepare to see the feathers fly! The quality is excellent and it really does seem amazing value. And to make it even better we're offering Free Postage & Packing when you order Emu. Emu is currently only available from Hawkin's Bazaar and even we have very limited stock, so order quickly to avoid disappointment (available exclusively online). Emu and Toby dropped into our Plymouth shop before Christmas to meet staff and customers. Naturally chaos ensued, but as you can see (additional pictures) a good time was had by all, well almost all. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:26 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414292&a=95257&m=2189 Fantastic funky animal Sock Puppets that are made with the components provided (fabric glue not included).

The socks provided are slightly modified to make the mouth more defined, but apart from that all the components are glued (fabric glue not provided) in place, just like the puppets we all made when we were young. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:26 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414295&a=95257&m=2189 It's amazing how much personality can be given to something as simple as a sock puppet and this kit makes it easy to create a fantastic looking funky rabbit character. The socks provided are slightly modified to make the mouth more defined, but apart from that all the components are glued (fabric glue not provided) in place, just like the puppets we all made when we were young. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:26 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414296&a=95257&m=2189 Although the Janet and John books seem quintessentially English the author, Rona Munro was from New Zealand and the books were first published in the US. But it wasn't until they were published in England in 1949 that they found huge popularity. In the end these much loved children's books taught generations how to read and evoke fond memories for most parents, until the 70s when they went out of fashion. These replicas of the first stories include the delightful colour illustrations by Florence and Margaret Hoopes and even the original textured covers. Charming and a wonderful trip down memory lane for those who remember them, the simple repetitive text that developed the reading skills of so many would still be equally effective for new generations. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:27 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414297&a=95257&m=2189 Although the Janet and John books seem quintessentially English the author, Rona Munro was from New Zealand and the books were first published in the US.

Any suitably sized picture can be cut into 5cm chunks and inserted into the tiles which slide around inside the frame, until the image is all jumbled up. Family members, pets or favourite celebrities would all be good subjects. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:27 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414299&a=95257&m=2189 For anyone born in the late 70s/ early 80s the sight of the crazy orange face will be very familiar. Sadly, until now, the recent revival of the space hopper has been limited to a new generation of bouncers, as anyone who remembers them the first time around is likely to have found themselves to be too big. Fortunately this is no longer the case. This giant retro hopper inflates to a huge 80cm, making it suitable for any adult (up to 17 stone) who wants to regress back to their childhood. Have a couple lying around at a party and watch the fun begin. Foot pump included. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:28 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414300&a=95257&m=2189 Nostalgic construction kits at an affordable price.

Unscrew the bubble-wand from the top of the 12cm tube filled with bubble solution and gently blow. Hundreds of small, ultra-light bubbles are produced which float about in the air.

A clip attaches the tube to clothing, etc. like a pen. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:30 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414304&a=95257&m=2189 The keys on the miniature game board are swivelled to make the space into a nought or a cross. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:30 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414308&a=95257&m=2189 This Volkswagen model is 1:38 scale making it large enough (12cm), to allow all the fine details of the real vehicle to be included in the metal diecast moulding.

The colour of the crystals varies depending on the mineral content but ours are mostly clear or milky-white. We can't guarantee that every geode contains crystals but 90% do, so you should be lucky with at least two out of the pack of three.The best way to see what is inside is to crack open the geode by placing it in an old sock and tapping it gently with a hammer. Geodes are found in many areas of the world; ours come from Mexico and are approximately 5cm in diameter. Beautiful, intriguing and will last forever! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:34 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414327&a=95257&m=2189 Large clockwork-propeller powered toy that cleverly dives and resurfaces in a bath or pool. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:34 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414328&a=95257&m=2189 The box contains 28 wooden dominoes printed with colourful animals (instead of numbers) which have to be matched to win. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:34 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414329&a=95257&m=2189 This fascinating collection of school reports of high-achievers makes compulsive reading. Everybody from Winston Churchill, to Michael Palin and Princess Diana are included as well as famous reporters, writers, inventors and many more. Some are insightful, others wildly inaccurate, many are very amusing from a time before political correctness when tormented teachers could write exactly what they thought of their pupils. Over 160 pages of snippets, like those above, make up this endearing little book by Catherine Hurley, which would make a suitable present for almost anyone 28 Aug 2009 23:45:34 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414330&a=95257&m=2189 The curiously shaped plastic sections must be fitted together to form a colourful cube. There are six different puzzles; the colour indicating the design and the difficulty level. Order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:35 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414331&a=95257&m=2189 It doesn't throw out huge clouds of ash or rivers of molten lava, which is fortunate because most people don't appreciate that sort of thing in their kitchen. What it does do is teach children the theory behind volcanoes and the chemical reactions as well as allowing them to create their own mini eruption. Everything is provided in the kit apart from a few drops of malt vinegar which should be easily available. Supports the National Curriculum. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:35 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414333&a=95257&m=2189 Probably the most surreal of all the items we considered for this catalogue and an instant favourite. Each month there are black and white pictures from the '50s and '60s of Nuns participating in unconventional and, some might say, inappropriate activities. There is something amusing and rather ridiculous about nuns playing softball, fishing and skeet-shooting (yes, nuns with guns), but it should be pointed out that these are all real Nuns having Fun and no disrespect is intended. It is impossible to define its great appeal, but everyone seems to know someone they want to give it to. Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:35 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414334&a=95257&m=2189 Fascinating for anyone with an interest in language, as it attempts to explain why we say phrases such as 'take a rain check' or 'a cat in hell's chance', as well as why we may call someone a 'wally' or a 'twerp'. This dictionary takes pride in offering several possibilities rather than just the commonly believed version and exposes many myths and misconceptions. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:35 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414335&a=95257&m=2189 Also known as 3D Stereograms, each of the strange myriad patterns has an incredible 3D image hidden inside. They are not always easy to see as you must relax and defocus your eyes before the image appears - various techniques for achieving this state are described in the book. A few people can never see them, but most can learn and with practice see them faster and clearer, the results are always startling, fascinating and quite unlike any other visual effect. There are over 60 Eye Tricks in total with solution sheets in the back showing the hidden image you are looking for. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:36 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414336&a=95257&m=2189 Each page features a puzzle, problem or trick that can be performed using items from your pockets, or at least that should be easily available, such as coins, matches, keys, handkerchiefs etc. They are easy once you know the secret but surprisingly frustrating if you don't. Not only are they fun to solve yourself but they are simple enough to memorise easily and then entertain friends and family down the pub, at a party, on a plane, or in fact almost anywhere. Solutions are in the back of the pocket-sized book. Great value! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:36 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414337&a=95257&m=2189 An amusing festive figure which can be made to play peek-a-boo, pop out of the cone and dance around. Assorted designs: Santa, Snowman, Reindeer and Xmas Tree. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:36 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414338&a=95257&m=2189 Even the title fails to prepare you for just how extraordinary some of the featured pubs are. The Crooked House Pub has subsided 4', so now the drinks slide slowly uphill, whilst in one pub in Somerset your beer will stick to the wall completely unsupported. Toe wrestling, snail-racing and skittles played with cheese are all available if you know where to go. So are human skulls, ghosts, bees, trees and a host of other oddities and eccentricities which can be marvelled at while you enjoy a swift pint or three; but you may have to leave one shoe with the barmaid as a deposit on the glass. Completely fascinating! Can you think of anyone who wouldn't like this (15x21)cm book? 28 Aug 2009 23:45:36 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414339&a=95257&m=2189 The jar seems to pour water endlessly, even after it appears to have run dry. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:36 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414340&a=95257&m=2189 In last year's catalogue we were delighted to offer a tiny glow-in-the-dark rubber duck, but we think these funky little 5cm ducks are even better. They change from one vibrant colour to another when they are placed in hot water, or anywhere they experience dramatic temperature change. The transformation is almost instant and each duck is different so black changes to pink and purple to blue etc.There are four ducks in a pack - everybody needs some! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:37 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414341&a=95257&m=2189 An astonishing curiosity. The 14cm card Snowman stands in the small dish provided, into which the 'magic' solution is poured. Within a few hours there will be evidence of the snowman starting to grow and within 24 hours he will be covered in thick white 'woolly' crystals, they even grow on the end of his broom. The crystals are very fragile but will last almost indefinitely as long as they remain undisturbed. An essential addition for any Christmas stocking. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:37 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414342&a=95257&m=2189 Outlines are scraped off with the tool provided to reveal a rainbow-coloured background on the 15cm board. Assorted animal designs. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:37 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414343&a=95257&m=2189 Over 100 true and generally amusing tales of mindless stupidity in a book by Rhian McKay, that have led to careers in crime being cut short. Highlights include a man whose trousers kept falling down during a police foot-chase and the nervous robber who shouted " nobody move" and then accidentally shot dead his partner who had gone to empty the till. None of the entries are more than a couple of paragraphs long, so they are easy to dip into or read aloud. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:37 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414344&a=95257&m=2189 Each page of this hard-back book shows signs, instructions and labels from around the world. Some are amusing due to mistranslation or bad punctuation, many have absurd double meanings and others are simply absurd or pointless. 80 pages. Guaranteed to raise a smile. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:37 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414345&a=95257&m=2189 The 15cm card tree stands in the small dish provided, into which the 'magic' solution is poured. Within a few hours there will be evidence of the tree starting to grow and within 24 hours it will be covered in thick green 'woolly' crystals. The crystals are very fragile but will last almost indefinitely as long as they remain undisturbed. An essential for any Christmas stocking. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:38 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414346&a=95257&m=2189 A pot of slimy, slippery gunge. The combination of the rainbow metallic colours and the squidgy texture makes it irresistible to childen. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:38 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414347&a=95257&m=2189 Launch the 26cm glider using the catapult and watch it zoom like a rocket up to 30 feet, before the wings pop open and it glides back to earth. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:38 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414348&a=95257&m=2189 Superior 2 (5cm) Poppers which leap in the air, often achieving heights of up to 5' (1.5m).

We designed them ourselves and are rather pleased with how they have turned out. Inside are two collapsible, open pockets either side of a zip-sealed area for loose change - all very smart in black. Four designs - order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:38 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414350&a=95257&m=2189 Anyone who works or plays on or near the water could one day be very grateful to have been given this tiny key fob. It looks like many others until it lands in water, when the capsule opens and a 46cm self-inflating tube carries any attached keys to the surface (within 90 seconds) for easy retrieval. The tube stays inflated for at least 40 minutes from activation. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:39 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414351&a=95257&m=2189 An amusing reverse twist on the Top Trumps game format, where players compete on who has the most unfortunate hair cuts. Cards show pictures of people, who have been over influenced by the styles of the early eighties! Each is given a name and rated on categories such as 'special skill', 'style' and 'odour'. It's very cheeky and the humour and some of the language is adult orientated. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:39 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414352&a=95257&m=2189 It may sound disgusting, but it's educational too. Honestly! The kit includes ingredients to make a batch of super-slimy green snot, which is used with the working model of a nose to demonstrate what happens when someone catches a cold. The instructions include factual information and diagrams as well as a recipe for making more snot when the ingredients are all gone. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:39 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414353&a=95257&m=2189 According to the television these days virtually everyone is a forensic detective, employed by scraping up bits of human remains in areas cordoned off behind yellow and black stripy tape. Just in case you aren't a forensic detective, but fancy pretending, you can set up your own crime scene using this specially printed loo roll. We can't really understand why anyone would want it, but it's just strange enough to make us suspect that some of you do! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:39 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414354&a=95257&m=2189 The ultimate travel corkscrew.

Cleverly though, it about-turns if it reaches a drop, saving itself from a perilous fall. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:40 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414364&a=95257&m=2189 Brightly coloured dodgem car that has hidden abilities. Once wound it races around, but about-turns upon reaching a drop rather than plunging straight over. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:40 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414365&a=95257&m=2189 The return of a much loved favourite, bigger and better than ever. Mr Potato Head was invented by George Learner and first released in 1952. It is believed characteristics from George's own family inspired the accessories, with the green baseball cap and bushy moustache (still part of the kit) coming from his father. The interchangeable components allow a great variety of funny faces and portly characters to be created. Presumably a real potato could still be used, but a clean, plastic version is provided, with a secret panel in the back allowing spare bits to be safely stored. Suitable for 2 years plus - irresistible to all ages. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:40 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414366&a=95257&m=2189 A specially formulated Monster Repellent Spray. Not only does it give children peace of mind that every kind of lurching, squelching, bug-eyed beast has been forever banished to whence it came, but the spray also contains natural Lavender oils that sooth troubled nerves allowing a peaceful night's sleep.

Now it is possible to test your dog's CIQ (Canine Intelligence Quotient) with a few simple tests. This 24 page booklet explains 12 procedures to test your pet's brainpower. The tests are based on the speed with which a dog responds to given situations and the kit includes a handy stop--watch to time your pet. Written by Dr Stanley Cohen who is a Professor of Psychology, a prize winning dog trainer and an authority on dog behaviour and intelligence, this kit would be a fun exercise for any dog owner.SMART PETSWe'd like to introduce Henry (View extra images on the left) - Henry is a highly trained (although he hides it well) Labrador, and our official product tester of all things canine. As soon as the 'How Smart is Your Dog' test arrived, Henry jumped (up) at the chance to prove his puppy-dog prowess, with much tail wagging and nose snuffling. The booklet takes dog and owner through twelve simple tests to determine problem solving, learning and memory ability, with scores determined by the times recorded on the digital stop watch that's provided. So how intelligent is Henry? Well, its all a bit inconclusive - he started well, quickly finding hidden treats, with his usual delicate touch and thoughtful consideration (and stonking great paws and violent ripping motions). But then things started to go... less well. When he ate the kit's instructions we were convinced it was the sign of a doggy genius, preventing us from carrying out further tests. We became less sure when he tried to eat the stop watch, and when he ate the kit's box we decided he was just hungry. Still, a good time was had by all and more discipline and less running around peeing on things (that's Henry, not us) would probably have given better results. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:40 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414370&a=95257&m=2189 The heavy felt pieces are pre-cut to shape, with ready made holes to stitch through, so the kit is easy enough for youngsters. Robust thread, a plastic safety needle, flower shapes and stuffing (to give the flowers a 3D look) are all provided. The resulting, flat bottomed bag is both trendy and useful. Colours may vary. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:40 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414371&a=95257&m=2189 A childhood classic since its first peak of popularity in the 60s, the Yo-Yo is here to stay. The Yo-FX has it all: explosive sounds, flickering lights as well as the ball-bearing clutch system, allowing easy 'sleeping' and auto rewinding (most of the time!). 28 Aug 2009 23:45:40 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414372&a=95257&m=2189 Colour in the detailed fairytale pictures, put the 'paper' in the oven and it shrinks to a neat little trinket with which to make a badge, a mobile phone charm, a fridge magnet or a key fob. Each kit contains accessories to make one item. Items may vary from those mentioned. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:41 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414374&a=95257&m=2189 Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll) is the well-known adventures of a little girl who follows a mysterious white rabbit into a bizarre and unpredictable world.

Originally from Italy, the collecting, trading and battling phenomena has spread across the rest of Europe including the UK and into the world of computer games. There is a lengthy background story to the good and evil tribes, that were created from the natural elements and live on the embattled island of Gorm. See websites such as www.Gormiti.co.uk to read the full story.Each collectors' warrior is supplied in a foil packet along with matching game card giving personal details of the character's unique power rating, skills and weapons information. There are also pictures of all the characters so it's easy to trade duplicates and collect whole tribes - 42 characters in total.

It contains herbal ingredients such as Ginkgo, Rosemary and Peppermint as well as being naturally caffeinated and sugar free. The packaging assures us the gum is specially formulated to help chewers 'take on mentally challenging tasks, be more alert, improve information recall and boost memory'. Not bad for a piece of chewing gum! Sceptical?

Their eggs evolved to survive long periods of drought, only to hatch once there has been sufficient rainfall.

Their relatively simple care, fascinating properties, energetic behaviour, reasonable size and short life-span, lends them excellent educational value whilst being fun, curious pets too. This great value kit contains everything in the smaller pack, but also includes a suitably-sized, plastic tank to hatch the Triops, with gravel to line the base and create a more attractive environment for them to swim in.

The almost hypnotic spinning metal disc is stared at for 20 seconds or more before the watcher transfers their attention to the white model rabbit.

Each card features a style of fart and graded by decibels, velocity and calories burnt, amongst other criteria. There is also a brief description and recipe given for each. Naturally, it's a little crude and complete nonsense, but it's also embarrassingly funny. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:48 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414631&a=95257&m=2189 Something that every child should have and great exercise.

Colour may vary. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:48 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414632&a=95257&m=2189 A pocket-sized 'pen' containing six crayon colours. Five crayon nibs are contained within a chunky, clear perspex holder, whilst the sixth is clipped onto the end for sketching and scribbling; when another colour is desired, it is simply 'popped' out by pressing the spare crayon into the side. A simple idea (as all the best are) which looks great and works a treat. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:48 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414633&a=95257&m=2189 The pen is topped with an irresistibly squishy ball that produces, what we can only think to describe as 'pustules' which grow through the black netting, changing colour as they emerge. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:48 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414634&a=95257&m=2189 The irregularly shaped pieces have a smooth, silky texture and cling stubbornly together due to magnetic forces. They can be modelled into a variety of shapes and structures, apparently disobeying gravity, or simply fiddled with and clicked together - endless distraction! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414636&a=95257&m=2189 Tightly compressed tablet that is soaked in water for 30 seconds, allowing it to unfurl and become a full sized 30cm flannel bearing a colourful dinosaur design.

When removed the chocolate pieces are magically coated with the colourful Christmas scene (entirely edible) which allows the jigsaw to be constructed before being eaten. Finished puzzle 19cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414639&a=95257&m=2189 For many the Christmas stocking wouldn't be complete without a bag of chocolate coins. These are a selection of English coins in different sizes, each individually wrapped in foil. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414640&a=95257&m=2189 Twelve traditional mint flavoured mini candy canes individually wrapped, so could be given as a gift of twelve or distributed as smaller gifts. The canes have hanging threads to use as tree decorations. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414641&a=95257&m=2189 Stylish, strange and the purrfect funny present for cat lovers, as long as they are not too sensitive. A pencil can be sharpened by inserting it in, well... the only available place. Naturally enough the cat protests (although probably not as much as a real cat) by 'meowing'. The shavings fall into the litter tray to be emptied. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414642&a=95257&m=2189 Seasonal cynics will delight in this reverse twist on the Trumps card game concept, as each aspect of Christmas is compared by factors such as 'effort', 'embarrassment' and 'enjoyment' to come up with an overall crap factor. Sprouts score a resounding 96% crap rating compared to snowball fights at only 8%. It's all highly amusing, with 'yellow snow', 'bad pants' and 'insanely loud toys' coming under scrutiny. The ideal distraction when festive fatigue sets in. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414643&a=95257&m=2189 Traditional mint flavoured candy canes individually wrapped, so could be given as box of twelve or distributed as smaller gifts. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414644&a=95257&m=2189 Compulsive puzzles that you can't put down once you start.

The 24 paper cups are printed with different character's noses including - 'The dude', 'the redneck','the starlet' and 'the art student', offering a variety of nose rings, moustaches, lipstick etc. An excellent oddity and guaranteed party ice breaker - if you're not happy with your nose, you can always pick someone else's. 11.5cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414648&a=95257&m=2189 A perfectly proportioned child-sized umbrella, in rainbow colours.

This compilation from the Popular Mechanics magazines is more than a fascinating insight in to the time, the original diagrams and instructions allow anyone to experience the satisfaction of making something by hand and learning practical skills. Toys, games, garden furniture and a wealth of useful household devices are included. 272 pages, paperback, 18cm. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414653&a=95257&m=2189 There are certain skills that are essential for every kid to know, but that no adult will ever teach. Things such as how to boobytrap a room, write or speak in code, perform a wheelie, whistle with two fingers and, of course... the book's namesake - all now available in one easy to read volume. 96 pages, paperback, 18cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414654&a=95257&m=2189 Simply superb space hopper racing set. The two large child / adult sized space hoppers come with horse covers, jockey caps, a starter's whistle and finishing flag.

Much fun! 72cm diam. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414655&a=95257&m=2189 Football fanatics can even indulge their passion in the tub. The miniature goal is suckered to the edge of the bath while the floating penalty spot supports the ball so it can be flicked, in an attempt to beat the goalie. 18cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414656&a=95257&m=2189 It takes considerable skill to complete the puzzle with numbers 1-9 on each of the six sides, just like a three dimensional Sudoku puzzle. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414657&a=95257&m=2189 Originally designed as a practical load mover, the Type 2 transporter was manufactured in Germany from 1949 - 1967. In the 1960's it became popular with the hippie and surfing culture and is now a classic, popularly know as a Kombi. This kit builds into a perfectly detailed 1:38 scale model with pullback - and - go motor and opening doors. Miniature screw-driver and instructions are provided, although a little glue is required. Colour may vary. Model 11cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414658&a=95257&m=2189 Small, but very stylish hot bot's with colourful woolly jumper-style covers.

Much more than a curiosity, the end result is colourful, fashionable and perfectly useable. Mini bag 20cm 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414661&a=95257&m=2189 This collection of mysterious mathematical devices is our own creation and something we've sold successfully for years, but the mathematical anomalies exploited are still relatively unknown and remain always intriguing. We've recently repackaged (beautifully, even if we do say so ourselves) and added a clever new set of dice to the original components - all of which deserve further explanation: Addition DiceFive special dice showing three digit numbers on each face are thrown to choose five random numbers. Adding these numbers together would normally take a few minutes or require the help of a calculator, but a clever technique allows the user to perform the maths in seconds. Magic Calculator The four square sticks are laid side by side to form rows of four digit numbers. As with the Addition Dice above, the sum of any combination of these figures can be calculated in seconds using a secret technique. Magic Number Cards / Think of a Number Cards Two sets of special cards that use different mathematical anomalies, allowing the user to determine numbers that have been secretly chosen by a second person. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414662&a=95257&m=2189 Fill the container with water and the baby dinosaur cracks its way out of the egg, just like the real thing. Over the next 72 hours it expands until it grows to the height of the container. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414663&a=95257&m=2189 The cute, tiny penguin grows to become several times his original size when the container is filled with water. Full growth is achieved after 72 hours. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:49 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414664&a=95257&m=2189 Curious Christmas-themed figures such as Santa Claus and a Christmas Tree grow to fill the transparent egg once water is added. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414665&a=95257&m=2189 Chunky Pirate figures that include a clockwork mechanism, and are wound up by the action of sharpening a pencil. A tap on the pirate's head then activates the mechanism and he speeds off on hidden wheels, with his head bobbing and arms swaying. They come with a key to wind the motor in case there aren't any blunt pencils. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414666&a=95257&m=2189 Traditional style combined with colourful child-friendly faces has produced charming little clocks, with a wind-up mechanism inside a colourful metal casing and shiny trim around the face. The chiming alarm is quaintly mechanical, although sounds from within the case (the 'bells' on top are purely decorative). Satisfyingly heavy and good quality. There are four designs - order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414667&a=95257&m=2189 The incredibly realistic life-size mouse can be made to run in any direction, spin on the spot or roll over on demand thanks to its clever revolving tail and 'flip me' button on the radio-control. In fact, its only unrealistic aspect, is that it won't carry any nasty fleas. It works indoors or out, with a range of nine metres. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414668&a=95257&m=2189 Like most children we can't resist bubbles and bubble makers. This Bubble Wand produces flurries of huge (10-12cm) bubbles when lazily waved through the air. It's extremely effective, with the bubble liquid contained in the screw-top sheath and at this price is guaranteed to be super summer play value. Colour may vary. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414669&a=95257&m=2189 This tub contains bubble mixture and features one of an assortment of six puzzles in the lid. The range of cartoon puzzle pictures includes dinosaur, butterfly and car, with loose ball-bearings which need to be carefully manipulated into depressions in the puzzle surface. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414670&a=95257&m=2189 A superior version of the classic super-sleuth gadget. The inside edges of the dark glasses are mirrored allowing the wearer to see enemy agents (or pesky parents) sneaking up behind them. To untrained civilians the glasses look completely normal. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414671&a=95257&m=2189 Ceramic figurine with a pouch of seeds and substrate nestling comfortably in its head that, once watered, will sprout grass to be snipped into fanciful styles. Perfectly proportioned for a desktop or window-sill. Assorted designs with either arms folded, or hands on hips. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414672&a=95257&m=2189 This little fellow has a peculiar endearing charm, in a grumpy, frog-like way. Designed to be thrown vigorously against a window, he makes a satisfying 'splat' and sticks to the glass, before slowly oozing back to his original, portly shape. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414673&a=95257&m=2189 A substantial kit including lots of wooden beads, glue, colourful pipe cleaners, wool, synthetic flower petals, leaves and ribbons to make five pretty fairy characters. The clear instructions show that it is reasonably easy and the results are very satisfactory. Suggestions are included for more ways to decorate and personalise the fairies. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414675&a=95257&m=2189 The treasure chest shaped block of gypsum is gently scraped away using the scraping tool and brush included, to reveal a colourful model of some ill-gotten gains, along with a skeleton or pirate guardian. The models are incredibly well-detailed for such a small size, with items such as gems the size of pinheads highlighted and facial features accurately moulded. Revealing the model is satisfying entertainment for a wide age range. Designs vary - order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414676&a=95257&m=2189 Soft toilet tissue, printed with pretty pink lipstick kisses - a little touch of style, for keeping easily to hand on the make up table. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414678&a=95257&m=2189 The large format book features high quality photographic doubles, with the necessary slight differences. There's a wide range, of quite unexpected and colourful subject matter, with puzzles categorised into levels of difficulty. Some of them are really very difficult indeed! To keep it interesting there are a few different puzzles included: a form of mental jigsaw and shapes hidden within another picture - all observation based. Answers in the back. Hours of amusement. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414679&a=95257&m=2189 The influence of the 80s is everywhere at the moment, with many who were young during that era now re-living their childhood. This quiz-style book brings back plenty of memories. Presented as a list of questions (divided into sections) covering television, music and other popular culture and affairs of the time. Answers are in the back. What was Bruce Willis' character called in Moonlighting? How many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were there? And which soft drink was 'too orangey for crows?' Compulsive entertainment. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414680&a=95257&m=2189 We're very keen on Space Hoppers and sell lots of different ones, so you can imagine our delight when we found these miniature clockwork versions. They come as a set of two (blue and orange), with long running mechanisms, so rather erratic hoppity races are possible - all rather amusing. Simply the cutest clockworks we've seen for a long time. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414681&a=95257&m=2189 Do You Remember Morph? Before Teletubbies, Fimbles and Tweenies, there was Morph and he was brilliant! Peter Lord, the creator of Morph introduces the enclosed DVD, by showing how he goes about modelling Morph in simple steps, so anyone can make their own pliable pal out of the generous blocks of Morph coloured Plasticine provided. There are also five Morph accessories such as a miniature skateboard, cricket bat and fake beard so some of the winsome character's classic antics can be re-enacted. For inspiration the DVD also contains 15 original Morph episodes. The Plasticine never dries out so he can be endlessly modelled, shaped and remade at a later time - in between he can live in the kit's wood-effect box that looks much like Morph's original home. All very charming. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414683&a=95257&m=2189 A sturdy and handsome white bear-shaped money box that can be decorated with fetching and stylish doodles using the permanent black marker pen provided. The result is unusual and can be surprisingly effective - certain to be appreciated by anyone with a creative nature as the design will be exactly to their taste. Lots of doodle ideas are included on the box. A bung in the bottom allows savings to be retrieved. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414684&a=95257&m=2189 Drop one of these denture shaped ice cubes into your drink and you'll guarantee no-one will steal your glass at parties, as well as raising a few smiles (cold ones). We added a few drops of food colouring and milk to make the ice teeth even more realistic (disgusting!). The food-safe tray makes four icy smiles at a time. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414686&a=95257&m=2189 Rate your cat's cunning with tests to determine if it is a predator, a purrer, or just playful. This six page booklet explains nine procedures to test your pet's brainpower. A mouse filled with extra strong catnip (included) is used to 'motivate' (or not) the kitty during the tests. Good fun for cat and owner. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414689&a=95257&m=2189 This amazing evolution of a traditional spinning top appears to defy physics and gravity. Just a quick twist gets it started and, as the spin becomes smoother, it actually speeds up. On a flat, smooth surface it will remain like this for hours (literally), as long as it remains untouched. All the time it is in motion it throws out changing patterns and colours of light - visible during the day and spectacular in the dark. We couldn't get more information on exactly how it works - it would be nice to believe the cell batteries were just for the lights and magic did the rest. Even if that's not true, it's still ingenious and unlike anything we've seen before. This year's 'must have' stocking filler! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414690&a=95257&m=2189 Miniature ice-cream tubs filled with sweetly scented and flavoured lip balms.

These chunky cartoon style mugs may not be the most accurate representation ever, (it was always going to be tricky with a mug shape) but, they are jolly enough to be an appreciated discovery in any VW fanatic's Christmas Stocking. There are four colours - order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:50 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414692&a=95257&m=2189 A desirable little gadget that fires elastic bands with surprising accuracy and range. Bands are stretched between the front barrel sight and held tight by the gripper handles, which are squeezed to release and fire the bands. A quick access key chain holds spare ammo (100 bands are provided) and (presumably to add educational value) the barrel twists transforming the shooter into a pen. The perfect little gift for everyone else's children? 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414693&a=95257&m=2189 Anyone who suffers from TV-remote rage can take back control with this ingenious little gadget. The main advantage of the Jammer is that it can be used anonymously, by discreetly flicking the switch only when someone threatens to switch channels. It guarantees that 'must see' programmes aren't interfered with and makes a great gift for anyone with an anarchic living room. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414695&a=95257&m=2189 Sometimes there is great functionality - sometimes great design. Just occasionally both come together, and when they do, it appears they are egg shaped! This pleasing free standing rubbery white egg morphs slowly through pretty rainbow colours creating a soothing, magical glow. If a particular colour is preferred, a colour lock function makes it possible. A safe alternative to candles. One egg is beautiful, imagine how good a whole nest of them would look? 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414696&a=95257&m=2189 A pretty variation on the classic Fibre Optic Lamp - coloured light is projected to the ends of waving nylon fronds producing a shower of tiny coloured pinpricks that shine with a romantic magical sparkle in the dark. The Black Starlite has a vibrant light blue light, which contrasts well against the pure black base and fronds, very stylish. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414697&a=95257&m=2189 A pretty variation on the classic Fibre Optic Lamp - coloured light is projected to the ends of waving nylon fronds producing a shower of tiny coloured pinpricks that shine with a romantic magical sparkle in the dark. The Ice Lamp Starlite has a crystal-like effect in the base, which different colours slowly pulse through, although the blue light in the fronds is constant, very stylish. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414698&a=95257&m=2189 No need to worry about losing the dice under the sofa ever again!

A fast paced card game, largely base on lavatorial humour. Players aim to be the first to discard all their cards, but obviously there are plenty of rules to make this more difficult. The music CD is occasionally interrupted by sound effects (guess what kind!) which indicate a change in direction of play, or penalty cards to be collected, etc. There are also 'pass the wind' cards and 'gas mask' cards which also affect the next players' turn. It's all surprisingly well thought out and, if not exactly tasteful, you know the children will find it hilarious. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414701&a=95257&m=2189 Last year we started selling the brilliant Pick Your Nose party cups and now, we are delighted to announce that children can pick their noses too (shocking revelation we know). Kids can choose to be animals such as a Zebra, Beaver or a green reptile that we're not too sure about. Six designs in total, assorted in a pack of 24, high quality paper cups. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414702&a=95257&m=2189 Q: What do you call a sleep walking nun? A: A roaming Catholic! You probably get the idea: toilet paper printed with 'terribly' amusing jokes, such as 'What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite'. An excellent little 'add-on' present or stocking filler to bring a smile to the faces of the whole family. Soft, strong and very, very....silly! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414704&a=95257&m=2189 Ridiculous giant, gold rimmed sunglasses with large hairy sideburns pre-attached to the arms to create that instant 'Elvis in Vegas' look. An essential accessory for 70s revivals, or in fact, any time a bit of absurdity is called for. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414705&a=95257&m=2189 Spit was the infamous creation of Bob Carolgees who appeared on TV shows, such as TISWAS throughout the 80s, with his trademark spitting hound. Even for those who don't recall the original act, this is a superbly made, cute and cuddly dog puppet, with a device hidden in its mouth which makes the spitting noise he was most famous for! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414707&a=95257&m=2189 Fiendishly difficult puzzle cubes - working out what you need to achieve is half the problem. Once mixed up the squares have to be carefully aligned to produce one continuous snake, which wraps around all six sides. With so many squares looking similar, it's not easy! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414709&a=95257&m=2189 Fiendishly difficult puzzle cubes - working out what you need to achieve is half the problem. Particularly puzzling as the solution requires four three-letter words (running left to right, up and down and diagonally) to be formed on each side. All the letters have to be the correct way up with red vowels in the middle. Challenging! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414710&a=95257&m=2189 This sleekly styled puppy is a fun present for dog lovers, as long as they are not too sensitive. A pencil can be sharpened by inserting it in, well... the only available place. Naturally enough the dog protests, verbalising its opinion with an indignant 'yapping'. Quirky desktop decoration for dog lovers, with a practical twist. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414712&a=95257&m=2189 The solution to getting up on time! It may not be most people's idea of fun, but this is the ultimate gift for those who simply refuse to get out of bed. The digital alarm can only be turned off after a random sequence of lights has been memorised and repeated by its sleepy-headed owner. If they are too slow or incorrect, the alarm sounds even louder and continues until they get it right. It is possible to 'wimp out' but 30 seconds of extra loud alarm has to be endured as a punishment. All very sleep shattering - there are three levels of difficulty so even the most snoozy have no choice but to jump start their brain to restore calm and silence. Devilishly devious! Developed in conjunction with Mensa. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414714&a=95257&m=2189 A clever and attractive fold-out book that expands and slots together to create a magical, underwater palace, complete with moveable characters and decorations. A generous packet of sparkly sequins and 'pearl' beads is included to decorate three mermaids as well as other colourful characters and their press-out accessories. Beautifully illustrated with charming details and high-quality. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414715&a=95257&m=2189 The prettiest little version of this idea we've seen. Heat from the night-light (provided) rises, causing the angel adorned propellers to slowly rotate. The whole thing is a charming ornament - a few placed on the Christmas dinner table are certain to be admired. The hanging angels are minutely detailed. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414716&a=95257&m=2189 Fuzzy Felt has been around for almost 60 years, so most people will have fond memories from their childhood. These charmingly simple Christmas cards work in the same way - felt shapes stick to the background, but can easily be moved around, with comic effect. The five cards are blank inside with plenty of space to write a message. Obviously they're suitable for children, but perhaps an endearing little piece of nostalgia for adults. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414717&a=95257&m=2189 Love them or hate them, you wouldn't be surprised if sprouts were part of your Christmas Dinner. You might be more surprised to find them inside your cracker and even more so, if they were hopping around the table afterwards. But all of this could come to pass, with a box of special 'sprinting sprout' crackers. Each one contains the customary snap, hat and joke along with a cute clockwork sprout to race on the 'dinner plate' track printed on the back of the box. It's easy extra play value from your crackers. Isn't it "asprout" time you ordered yours? 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414718&a=95257&m=2189 Tasty, tiny lollies in assorted seasonal shapes. A type of hard boiled sweet with a crunchy icing decoration. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414720&a=95257&m=2189 Go on, you know you want some! Sold in conjunction with the Natural History Museum, the box does indeed contain poo, straight from Rudolph himself. Fortunately, it has been specially treated to make it germ and odour free. We're told, and we have no reason to doubt it, that the dung is nutrient rich and ideal for growing the pine tree seeds which are also included. A funny stocking filler with a unique angle on encouraging children to grow and learn about trees. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414721&a=95257&m=2189 Yes, the beak is back! Emu is starring in a brand new TV show with Toby, son of Rod Hull who along with his feathered friend was a regular fixture on children's TV throughout the 70s and 80s, lived in a pink windmill and created the most infamous edition of the Parkinson chat show of all time. These superb hand puppets are smaller versions of the real thing, with the trademark yellow beak, soft blue fur and long neck. It's large enough that most adult hands fit in, allowing all of Emu's expressiveness and madcap antics to be enacted in your own home - prepare to see the feathers fly. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414722&a=95257&m=2189 Anyone who has popped bubble-wrap will know just how addictive and curiously therapeutic it can be. The problem with bubble-wrap is that, with each tiny pleasure filled explosion, the wrap is destroyed a little more. Also, carrying a roll around with you is inconvenient and, in time, likely to attract derisive comments from friends and colleagues. Fortunately an ingenious solution is now available, in the form of this endlessly re-useable, electronic bubble-wrap substitute. The seven bubbly buttons are a perfect substitute for the pressure filled pads of the wrap and a convincing 'popping' sound is emitted each time one is firmly pressed. Authenticity is added by not allowing the same button to be pushed twice in succession and, for reasons known only to it's inventor, the device shouts " Ye-Ha!" after 200 pops. A brilliant gift for compulsive fiddlers - it's the gift that keeps on um.. Popping! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414723&a=95257&m=2189 This simple low-tech solution produces a very satisfactory result and creates a thoughtful, much cherished gift. The simple wall-hanging calendar template has blank spaces where there would normally be the month's picture. Instead there are corner slits that allow standard 15 x 10 cm photo prints to be slotted into place - a welcome gift on its own, but with a little thought, pictures of family members, pets or happy occasions could be inserted prior to it being given. Twelve months of happy memories - not a bad present! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414726&a=95257&m=2189 Most of us know someone who needs help saving. This baked-bean-style tin makes it a little more fun and deters the saver from spending, as the only way to get the money out is to reach for the tin opener. This super-sized tin holds at least £500 worth of £1 coins to help with saving for a holiday and would make a thoughtful and relevant little gift. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:51 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414727&a=95257&m=2189 Most of us know someone who needs help saving. This baked-bean-style tin makes it a little more fun and deters the saver from spending, as the only way to get the money out is to reach for the tin opener. This super-sized tin holds at least £500 worth of £1 coins to help indulge a shoe obsession and would make a thoughtful and relevant little gift. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414728&a=95257&m=2189 Most of us know someone who needs help saving. This baked-bean-style tin makes it a little more fun and deters the saver from spending, as the only way to get the money out is to reach for the tin opener. This standard sized tin is a fun way to put money away for a good night out and would make a thoughtful and relevant little gift for many. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414730&a=95257&m=2189 description not available 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35414731&a=95257&m=2189 A clever innovation from America, light-sensitive photographic paper which produces pretty white-on-blue images without need for any chemicals or equipment. The object to be reproduced is laid flat on the sheet of paper in bright light. After a few minutes it is removed, and its silhouette will have appeared, dark on a light blue background. The paper is then soaked in plain tap water to fix, reverse and enhance the image, and then allowed to dry. This is something which almost everyone will be entertained by, whatever their age. There are ten A5 sheets (which can be cut before use) in a pack with instructions. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983011&a=95257&m=2189 This 11cm crazy mechanical creature zooms along underwater spinning randomly and bouncing off any obstacle it meets. It has to be seen in action to appreciate how amusing it really is. Certain to liven up bathtime, but equally good in a fish tank or large clear bowl. Colour may vary. Requires 1 x AA battery 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983012&a=95257&m=2189 This mysterious egg can be transformed into a dinosaur and back again due to ingenious jointed limbs that unfold from inside, in a particular sequence. Well detailed designs - order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983013&a=95257&m=2189 Inside the ingenious box are plant seeds, a compost pellet and a terracotta pot - everything required to get growing. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983015&a=95257&m=2189 Not remote, or radio controlled - this (as far as we are aware) unique flying extra terrestrial is fitted with proximity sensors, which makes it move away when it can detect something beneath it. This means hands, feet, even heads can be used to make it fly up and away again, creating all sorts of interactive games and challenges. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983016&a=95257&m=2189 A treasure trove of secret tips and tricks that provide easy ways to recall difficult-to-remember facts like times tables, tricky punctuation and how to spell infamously difficult words. There are also sections covering historical facts, scientific statistics and much, much more. Aimed at a young market, but there are plenty of entries many adults would also find useful - including all of us at Hawkin! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983017&a=95257&m=2189 A sharp shooting sauce dispenser! Easy to fill with either ketchup or mustard, the gun gives the shooter complete control over the splodgy condiment of their choice. Rather than fruitless bottle shaking, followed by half the bottle drowning a single burger, small or large squirts can be achieved with complete accuracy. It also allows your guests to re-enact that bit at the beginning of James Bond films - fake blood and all. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983019&a=95257&m=2189 A pair of ceramic tree baubles, ready to decorate with the five permanent coloured marker pens included. With the right encouragement, children could each design 'their' bauble, which is hung on the Christmas tree year after year: treasured reminders for parents and (no doubt) future embarrassments for children as they get older! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=35983020&a=95257&m=2189 One of the best known toys from the 60s and one that has fascinated children and adults ever since. In case anyone can't remember; the horizontal and vertical knobs direct a continuous black line, allowing simple doodles and, with practice and patience, complex stylised Etch-a-Sketch designs to be drawn on the screen. To erase and start again the screen is simply shaken. This is a large original version, rather than the small inferior copies sometimes available. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=36089149&a=95257&m=2189 A tightly compressed tablet that is soaked in water for 30 seconds, allowing it to unfurl and become a full sized 30cm flannel bearing a colourful Princess design. Assorted designs, order more than one to receive a selection. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=36089150&a=95257&m=2189 Over 100 challenges, ideas and hints to help bored or uninspired teenagers do more with their spare time. Suggestions include adrenaline-pumping action to simple feel good pleasures like planting a tree or growing vegetables. There's advice on wildly varying subjects such as playing pranks, the opposite sex and learning to juggle, all presented in a lively engaging way. And each idea has ratings for courage, effort and cost amongst others. As an added incentive points are earned for each completed challenge. Obviously designed for teenagers, but includes good advice we could all do to be reminded of. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=36089151&a=95257&m=2189 Twelve cm tall long-limbed flexible figure. Bends into any number of poses and will make anyone smile. Assorted colours. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=36992786&a=95257&m=2189 This tiny electronic device is light sensitive, so it makes an infuriating noise in the dark, but the source is almost impossible to locate as it becomes quiet as soon as the lights are switched on. The torturous sound of a dripping tap will keep your intended victim busy for hours! 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=36992787&a=95257&m=2189 At first and even second glance you would be forgiven for thinking that it really is made of chocolate. It looks, feels and even smells (yes, it's scented) of chocolate, but it is in fact a working solar powered calculator. The slip off and foil wrapper makes it particularly convincing. Strange, but an easy stocking filler or office secret Santa solution for chocoholics. 28 Aug 2009 23:45:52 GMT http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=37310370&a=95257&m=2189
