In addition to the Penguin Book mugs that I’ve previously mentioned (and have now got …my sister bought me a Big Sleep mug for my birthday) you can also get classic book deckchairs like the one pictured.

It’s a traditional style folding deckchair with a canvas printed with a chosen classic Penguin book cover.  Covers available include:

• Chandler’s ‘Big Sleep’ (green)
• Woolf’s ‘A Room Of One’s Own’ (purple)
• Mansfield’s ‘The Garden Party’ (orange)
• Bernard Shaw’s ‘Man and Superman’ (red)
• Bates’ ‘Country Life’ (yellow)

Same price and quantity as the Christmas pud bags, but these goldfish bin bags won’t look quite so unseasonal in the middle of summer.

Totally daft – but they make you smile.

They’re novelty Christmas pudding bin bags of course! Not particularly cheap at £9.99 for 12 bags but certainly a novel way of bagging up your Christmas rubbish …only the non recyclable stuff of course.

They’d make everyone who walked past them smile I reckon

Available from Totally Funky.

For those of you seriously in to table tennis this is the gift for you! If you’ve got nobody to play table tennis with or you just need to practice then this robot is going to be your new best friend.

This free-standing robot serves up to 80 balls a minute and using the remote control you can change the speed and direction of the ping-pong balls the robot hits. Is it possible to actually hit 80 balls a minute?? If not, you can adjust the speed, starting at 25 a minute.

Apparently table tennis is becoming all the rage again and is no longer deemed only suitable for early Friday evenings down at the youthie

The price? Well you didn’t imagine it’d be cheap did you?

This product is called the Undercover Laptop Bag and it’s designed to disguise and protect your precious laptop inside.

The bag is waterproof, tearproof and padded and it’s also size adjustable (via velcro straps) so it’ll take brick-sized laptops along with Mac Books!

The bag has markings, including a fake address to make it look just like a battered old jiffy bag or parcel. You can even write on it if you want to! Great for students and for anyone who doesn’t want people to see them carrying their laptop around.

I’ve already used it myself to buy a birthday card for my wife last December. In fact I ordered it early and specified a delivery date whilst I remembered!

It’s dead easy to use; simply browse through the wide choice of cards (for all occasions) and pick the one you want. Then enter the persons name and message as required, give the delivery address and you’re just about done.

Why not try it yourself today.
