This is a bit gimmicky but it’s still pretty cool. Just wish they could sort out some zero gravity boots too!
Retailing on GadgetShop for £79.95 ($147) this product is described as follows:
“The Zero G has an intelligent on board observation system that continually monitors the angle of the car. Once the Zero G is driven into a wall, it will immediately begin to climb using its grippy tracks. As it travels past 45 degrees, the car’s observation system will activate the Air Venturi Suction System which acts as a vacuum, sucking the car’s underside flat against the wall. Users are then able to drive the Zero G in what ever direction they desire whilst it remains flat against the wall. As the Zero G touches down onto horizontal ground again, the Air Venturi System is switched off and the car can be driven as usual.”
Sounds cool!

I wouldn’t call this Iconic, but it is a bit of fun. For kids or even adults the Wet Head Water Roulette can make an entertaining gift.
According to Playengine the Wet Head “is the new tension packed water roulette game that will leave you soaked but ready for more! Fill the Wet Head water reservoir, take turns to put the hat on your head, give a spin and pull the pin…will you turn out to be the next Wet Head?”
“Players start the game by inserting the eight rods into the blue wethead container. You then fill the container with ice cold water - the colder the better! The first brave sportsman straps on the Wet Head and crosses their fingers while someone else spins the hat and pulls out one of the rods. If the player stays dry then Wet Head is passed on to the next lucky player. With seven rods left could it be your turn to get a icy Wet Head? Best to play on a bad hair day!”
Retails for £12.76 ($23.73).
