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.

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.

As any cat owner will know (and the word “owner” is used lightly here, because we all know it’s really the cats that own us), it’s very difficult to get our feline friends to do what we want them to do.

They’re rude, they’re ignorant, they’re self-obsessed and they’re disobedient… perhaps those are the very reasons we love cats, but for those times when you really need Tiddles to do as he’s told, you need the Control A Cat Remote.

The Control A Cat Remote doesn’t need batteries as it’s powered purely by thought (some might call it “wishful thinking”); here’s a selection of the actions you can try to persuade your cat to carry out by choosing one of the variety of buttons included on the Control A Cat Remote:

• Show affection
• Remain aloof
• Here kitty kitty
• Land on feet
• Eject fur ball
• Purr +/-

A lovely, daft gift idea for cat owners or simply for those people who live with someone who’s a bit catty.

When all your keys look very similar, it can be a real pain remembering which key opens which door.

There are any number of reasons why a bathroom might be considered a crime scene; untidiness, dirt and pong are just a few.

In a shared household it’s only fair to warn other inhabitants that the bathroom’s not in a fit state for entry, and the Crime Scene Toilet Roll is a leading candidate for the job.

Printed in yellow and black, the Crime Scene Toilet Roll warns: “Crime scene: do not cross” - as a deterrent, it’s second only to employing a couple of policemen to stand either side of the bathroom door.

The Crime Scene Toilet Roll is an unusual gift that’s ideal for a wide range of folks, from houseproud mums to flat-sharing students; and as it’s made of real 2-ply toilet paper, it has its practical uses too.

Karmasheetra is a cheeky gift for adults - think “Twister”, but saucier.

Printed on this polycotton sheet is a selection of hands, feet and bottoms, which are colour coded and numbered so as not to confuse the players.

I know plenty of people that are daft enough to appreciate a book like the Encyclopedia of Immaturity - myself included!

Full of handy hints about how to celebrate being immature, the Encyclopedia of Immaturity is a must for anyone with a silly sense of humour.

Includes such daftness as:

• How to walk downstairs
• The best way to bounce a donut
• How weird is your tongue, on a scale of 4 to 8
• The best way to dispose of used chewing gum
• How to kidnap yourself using your own arm

As Willy Wonka so sagely observed, “a little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest man”.
