Got Kids? Know anyone that has? Right, that’s all you lot covered then….Now check out the most amazing, personalised gift idea I have seen.

Enhance-Me offer the service of enhancing images of your little ones, altering the backgrounds to great effect. I URGE you to go to the Enhance-me web site. My two boys wanted to be super heroes - in New York (The eldest is really into Jay-Z), Enhance-me delivered a wonderful image, capturing and enhancing everything required.

These magical images will come back to you as a Hi res Image which can be distributed to all your friends and family as many times as you like and printed out again and again. £13.99 for this much timeless, precious, unique magic is stunningly good.  (They make awesome screen savers too!)

As far as a review goes, this is one product / service that speaks for itself. I mean really, what does £14 get you these days? GO TO THE SITE AND SEE THE MAGIC!!!!

As a gift, Mothers day is nearly with us. But these image enhancements would work wonders for a newborn gift or birthdays. How about absent through miles Grandparents?

Got Kids? Know anyone that has? Now you have a perfect gift idea sorted.

Simplicity is a beautiful thing, not to be under estimated, but enjoyed.

If only everything in the world was as simple as Flip, the pocket video camera.

Flip uses built in software to install onto your pc, it has a flip out arm with USB connection. Connect flip up and it does the rest for you. I had my first videos on facebook in a matter of minutes, 3 minutes from install to upload.

Flip is well designed and has been designed for quick use. There are not many functions, which compliments rather than hinders. You get a big red record button where your thumb would be. A playback (on screen) and zoom. It’s all you need.

Because of the simplicity and the instant record, you will not miss a thing. I found that the flip promoted short bursts of film, which are perfect for uploading onto your social media site.

I also found that the size added to the filmic quality. Things seem more fluid than a standard (bulky, by comparison) video camera. I filmed (and chased) my Children through a soft play / ball pond room to great effect.

This is the way forward, it is refreshing to have something that delivers but is oh so simple to use and install.

In pink, the perfect gift for valentines day. The flip Ultra retails at £129.99, the HD version at £159.99, available from all good electrical retailers (Currys, PC world, Amazon and Play all stock).

This would make the perfect present for anyone, Technophobic grandparents, gadget crazy kids or just about anyone in between.

The simple things are always the best things….conkers, kiss chase, baked beans on toast. Add flip to the list.

Conceptronic have released their connectivity collection and I was lucky enough to sample one of their netbook adaptors.

This product is titled Universal Power adaptor, so I wanted to check how Universal it is and proceeded to check all my electrical items in the house (yes, I do need to get out more….smile)

Laptop? Powered up! Nintendo DS? Powered up! Blackberry? Powered up! IPod? Powered up!

OK, very universal and very clever. This charger comes with 15 different tips which will fit most electrical gadgets. Having a USB connector for charging is inspired and really does open up charging possibilities.

How many of the above do you have chargers for? I have a corner in my kitchen that is all wires. It is a tangled mess that can now be removed and replaced by this excellent adaptor.

As a travel companion, this is perfect. Business or pleasure, these days you will be taking some kind of power hungry gadget(s) with you. This adaptor will continue to give you the power you require on so many different platforms.

Conceptronic continue to deliver high end product with excellent value for money. This range of chargers come in at well under £40.00. The 2 year warranty only confirms that this has quality and endurance written all over it.

Just a few years ago digital photo frames would have cost into the hundreds of pounds, but with the pace of technology, these are now more affordable than you think.

You’re looking at what we consider to be the best value 7” digital photo frame on the market at £39.99 from Robert Dyas. It comes with its remote control, has slide show or manual picture scroll, date/time and alarm function, supports JPEG, MPEG, AVI and MP3 files (can play images, movie clips and music) and boasts an impressive 480 x 234 resolution colour display.

The Talking Photo album has taken photo albums to the next level, without removing any sentiment.

Digital Images are great, but there isn’t the tangible quality and comfort you get from a traditional photo album. This Faux leather album gives you all that you would expect from an album, plus audio clips for each page.

Missing someone? A good bet they would be missing you too, so treat them to this photo album and record up to 100 minutes audio for the 20 pages within.

Each Page has a play/stop function for easy use. There is a free SD card and you can even upload audio from your PC (from old video files). Available on site for £29.

If you want to give, and REALLY give, I think you couldn’t find a more heart warming gift.
