Stuck for a stocking gift for your kids this Christmas - something that’s fun, unique and great value?
Look no further than http://www.hexbug.com at the range of robotic insects that are collectively known as The HEXBUG family.
The original HEXBUG, Crab and Inchworm are tiny, intelligent and obedient bugs that are available in 5 different colours and can be delivered within days when you order online at www.hexbug.com.
The HEXBUGS start from £9.99
The recommended age in the UK for Hexbugs is 14+ and therefore is a great gift idea for teenagers and ‘big kids’ rather than children.

This Father’s day, Covent Garden Apple Market is offering a host of unique and wonderful gifts to surprise and delight Dads everywhere, from the style conscious, to the art lover to the sports fan.
Home of the original art and craft, Covent Garden Apple Market has some great, stylish British hand-made goods – some perhaps a little out there… but that’s half the fun!
From vibrant hand painted silk ties and sterling silver cufflinks to individual hand painted caricatures especially for your Dad. A great day out at the very least!
Here’s a great summer gift for active kids looking to better their catching and throwing capability as well as hand to eye co-ordination, body control and position awareness.
You can play it alone or with others – you simply throw the ball in it and catch it when it comes flying off, nothing more complex than that.
It retails for £69.87 and can be installed or taken apart in minutes. It’s also very lightweight. Available from Drinkstuff.co.uk.
It may have been raining solidly for a week BUT we’ve still had opportunity to go and try out the best flying disks for you this Summer….
Here’s what we tried and what we thought:
The Wicked Revolution - £7.99
Made out of a steel ring (outer) and a kind of neoprene in the middle, this is a hard wearing disk! It looks quite unique for a start, but it also flies as straight as a die (no wind is best of course). The weight carries it a good distance and it even bounces off the floor.
