8 really cool Christmas gifts for 2007

As a kid, you were probably taught that if you were good all year round you’d be rewarded at Christmas time with some fantastic presents from Father Christmas. If, on the other hand, you’d been a naughty boy or girl, you’d better expect just a Satsuma and a lump of coal.

Why then, despite twelve months of your best behaviour, was there always – always­ ­– a ghastly woolly jumper from Great Auntie Brenda waiting ominously for you under the tree? If that’s the way it works, we’ll take the Satsuma, thanks.

Now you can have and give the best Christmas ever with these few words: I Want One of Those. Whether you’re finding the perfect gift for family and friends or just trying to drop a few hints about what you want this year, iwantoneofthose.com is the only place to do your big Christmas shop (without even leaving the house). Amongst the fabulous toys, gadgets, games and family fun, you’ll find everything you need for an awesome Christmas – except of course for the dodgy knitwear.

Instead of the usual cufflinks, socks and ties, why not get something a little more exciting for those dads, big brothers and old mates who still love their big boys’ toys.

If your like me then you will love these 8 cool gagdets below.

Stylophone - £14.95
It’s back! Get ready for some retro action with the return of the Stylophone which has undergone something of a makeover. With a variety of sounds, with or without vibrato, play along to music on your mp3 wherever you are.

Sky Challenger, £49.95
Just as you’ve mastered the super stylish and easy to use PicooZ helicopter, iwantoneofthose.com goes and gives the game a whole new edge. This Skychallenger set features not one, but two of the remote controlled helicopters… and now, they can do battle with each other via infra red. Hit your opponent with your laser beam, and watch him fall out of the sky.

Pimp Star Superstar Watches, from £105.00
Snoop Dogg and his pal Fiddy Cent (or, if you’re in the UK, 25 pence) have brought more than just ridiculous words such as ‘shizzle’ to popular culture. Bling is for those who think that time is there to be spent as decadently as their cash, and that’s easy with these Pimp Star Superstar watches. With an illuminated martini glass to remind you of the difference between am and pm, these stainless steel accessories even feature a light show between 7pm and 1am – just to remind you that it’s time to party.

Laser Challenge Pro, £49.95
What was it that made Star Wars such a cinematic success? Depth of characterisation, thematic integrity, a profound yet imaginative plot deeply relevant to the human condition? We reckon it was probably the laser fights. The Laser Challenge Pro includes two blaster guns firing infrared beams, and a vibrating alert to tell you when you’ve been hit – there’s even the classic ‘red dot’ so that you can see when and where you’re about to be zapped.

London Oyster Wallet, £4.95
In London, there are two ways of making yourself look like a tourist: 1. Not having an Oyster Card, and 2. Looking confusedly at a map. If you want to be sure that you know the Big Smoke like the back of your hand, the London Underground Wallet not only gives you a place to put your Oyster, but also shows how to get around zones 1 to 6.

Bopit Download, £24.95
If you hate being defeated by technology (and are still smarting from the time you couldn’t get your DVD recorder to save that unmissable episode of The Bill) then watch out for the new Bopit Download… this addictive game makes audio commands ordering you to bop, twist, flick, pull or spin the handset, and will have you furiously trying to keep up.

Laser Cosmos, £149
Sleep beneath the stars within the comfort of your own bed (without having to worry about creepy crawlies getting into your sleeping bag). The Laser Cosmos projects the night sky – complete with astonishing nebulae and the odd shooting star – onto your ceiling. Great for both parties and relaxing nights in.

Memory Stick Cars - £14.99 each
Trade in your boring old memory stick for a superior model…These dinky die cast cars cleverly conceal an impressive 256MB of flash drive memory. Insert your stick and hear the car rev its engine and flash its lights. Complete with a USB extender cable - your classic car can remain on your desk whilst still plugged in to your computer.
