New Romantics, Bananarama and Live Aid - that’s what I remember most about the 80s, but what about you?

So You Think You Know the 80s is a great little book that offers a really fun way to test your knowledge on all things 80s, from TV and music to fashion and advertising.

The book contains over 1,000 questions about all things 80s, and the authors have very kindly included the answers at the back of the book, so you can check whether you answered each question correctly (no cheating, mind).

So You Think You Know the 80s is a great gift idea for anyone who was there, but it’s also a cool gift for the younger folks who missed it, but still want to know why we donned legwarmers, deelyboppers and fluorescent gloves while striking poses and declaring “I want to live forever”.

As a confirmed chocoholic, I can honestly say that if Santa dropped one of these into my stocking, I’d be a very happy GiftLady!

The Chocomatic Chocolate Clock is a clock with a difference. Once an hour, the clock chimes and delivers a delicious chocolatey treat - and because the clock has a light sensor, it’s clever enough to know that at night you’ll be sleeping and dreaming your chocolatey dreams, so it’ll save the next delivery ’til the morning.

There are times in our lives when we really need to keep our hands occupied.

During those times we could, of course, take up kniting - but if you’ve never done it before, it can be a bit fiddly.

Thankfully, with Space Putty, there’s no hard and fast rules as to how to “do” it… just take it out of the pot and get fiddling!

Space Putty is made of a really tactile material that can be stretched, bounced, moulded into shapes, twisted, shattered, snapped and torn… but leave it alone and it’ll melt into a puddle.

You know what some people are like - one whiff of a party, and they’re up to some sort of jiggery-pokery which they’ll be sorely embarrassed about the next day… especially once it transpires that their antics have been caught on camera.

But fear not!

The Borat Mankini is a hilarious gift for any man brave enough - or vain enough - to wear it.

Immortalised in the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the Borat Mankini is made froma very stretchy fabric which, when worn, leaves very little to the imagination.

I think we probably all know at least one man that’s just daft enough to wear a Borat Mankini, and this is a great gift idea for that man… or for the lucky woman in his life.

My mouth is literally watering while I write this!

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are the ones that come in 49 fantastic flavours including popcorn, cinnamon, mango, chocolate pudding and strawberry cheesecake - and they’re utterly delicious, by far the nicest sweeties I’ve ever tasted.

This Jelly Belly Bean Machine is in a retro style, made of a sturdy metal mechanism topped with a glass bowl so you can see when you need to buy another packet of Jelly Belly Beans.

The world is, if we believe what the media tells us, full of doom and gloom.

I love products that have multiple uses, and this one’s a real favourite in that category.

Function one: it’s a money box.
