Echo Bot

Wonderful little gadget - record a short message, noise or song and ambush familiy and friends. If they come within a metre of the echobot they set it off.  My children will definitely be getting these this Christmas - should keep them happy for hours.

Finger Drum Kit

Here's a drum kit that can definitely fit in the back of the car and probably won't upset the neighbours. The size of a large mouse mat, and with a touch sensitive pad depicting a traditional drum kit, the Finger Drums have a snare, high hat, three tom toms, a base drum and two cymbals - you just tap them and they play astonishingly well through the in-built speaker. You can even record your best drum breaks and play them back, play along to six pre-programmed demos and adjust the volume and tempo.
