    Thing: Freefall / Flying (in a wind tunnel)
    Bargain Price: £33 off peak for a 1 hr introduction to flying
    Cheapest place to get it: www.airkix.com
    Who its suitable for: "anyone and everyone in a state of reasonable everyday fitness and that includes many of those with physical disabilities and handicaps"
    Any other info: For the 1 hr introduction, you get a short class with a video brief and introduction, then you get to collect your flight gear. Your group will then enter the wind tunnel and take it in turns to fly. Each person gets 2 flights of around a minute each (about the same as 3 tandem skydives).

    Bargain Price: Any price is a bargain
    Cheapest place to get it: Our bedroom, Christmas Eve night
    Who its suitable for: Me, only me, but you might find one similar, if you're very, very lucky.
    Any other info: Lots of candles and cushions work well with this present.

    Thing: 20Q. It's an electronic twenty question thingymajig that is amazingly accurate at guessing your thoughts.
    Bargain Price: £9.95 + £3.95 p&p
    Cheapest place to get it: https://www.firebox.com
    Who is it suitable for?: Everyone
    Any other info: We bought one for a nephew, and I've asked for one for me too. It's addictive.
    Exclamation and question marks - ONE exclamation mark or question mark is sufficient to exclaim or ask about something. More than one just makes you look/sound like a prat.
    Should OF, would OF
    . Dear oh dear. You really should have, or should've listened at school when that nice English teacher was explaining how words get abbreviated.
  • Thing: Pet tree!
    Cost: £5.99 delivered
    Site: http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=stts4&page=title&r=GADG&title=731585

    Costs £5.95 on firebox but you have to add £3.95 postage so Play is a much better deal!

    Oh yeah - it really is a little tree in a little dome on a keyring!
