EzVision Video eyewear

These are all very Blade Runner meets Minority Report. Basically these space age shades are your very own take anywhere 50 inch movie screen. Weighing in at just 68g, ezVision Video specs plug into your iPod Video or any portable video/movie/DVD player and screens your movies in such a way that it seems as though you’re looking at a huge screen.

They allow you to zone out from the world around you and get right into the movie, slide show, or whatever. There are retractable headphones that are built into the arms of the specs, so you can truly plug-in and zone-out. Watch movies in bed without disturbing your better half, chill out on the train in front of a top film, or plug in in-flight and free yourself from those horrible little seat-back screens.

They have an 8 hour re-chargeable battery, an integral volume control, and come with adaptors to connect to iPods (and we tried it successfully with the new Zune player too) and DVD players. When you can’t get to the cinema, bring the cinema to you.

You can have this for £149.00

Turbo Tortoise Racing Set

These wind up racing Turbo Tortoises (surely tortoi would sound better?) are wonderfully stupid. We use the word Turbo in its loosest possible translation, as these daft creatures race along at a snails pace, with their cute cartoonesque faces looking somewhat perplexed. Pit their laconic athleticism against one another and watch as they sprint (well, poddle) along towards the finishing line that they may never reach in our lifetime. Sometimes going fast isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

You can have this for £7.99

Roboquad

Try to imagine a cross between some manic robot from Starship Troopers and robot No 5 from that strange film in the eighties whose name escapes me, and your halfway to getting what Roboquad is about. More fun than a puppy, and considerably cheaper and less messy, this nutty bot has more personality than a reality TV contestant (admittedly that’s not much of a challenge) and dances better than pretty well anyone over the age of 30.

This daft quadruped has multi-articulated legs that enable him to dash about in a thoroughly engaging way, avoiding obstacles and reacting to sound. He has three programmable personalities, 72 pre-programmed functions, 40 programmable moves, and has an infrared scanner vision system which assesses distance and obstacles.

His internal sound system blasts out a series of bizarre noises, as well as music which he dances to, accompanied by multi-colored flashing lights, and of course, unlike a puppy, he comes with a remote control unit so you can stop him running off down the stairs dragging loo paper all over the house. All in all he’s the perfect, fully interactive pre-programmed pet.

You can have this for £79.95
