Anyone remember Buck the Singing Stag?.. The pre-programmed wall warbler which you could use to spook out guests by speaking through it's mouth via a microphone…Ahh the childish fun we had until someone took a fancy to ours and it was gone. We didn't replace him, at over £100 a tad pricey, this one is a smaller version with scaled down features. Random (not rude) witty banter and a rendition of Sweet Home Alabama for your daily entertainment.

The scourge of openeing a new toy is liberating the item from within its see through wrapper, one that is  seemingly constructed from a menacing material that has it's own entry on the list behing A&E admissions. Calling themselves "blister packs", presumably after the least most painful incident ever occurring after attempts made to open one using a variety of blunt instruments, their refusal to open after a single motion is over, Zipit is here to save our digits. Put away your scisssors, scalpels and screwdrivers, let your incisors suffer no longer, one pass with the battery operated blister pack chomper and you're done.  £19.99 at FIREBOX
