Think spaghetti, and chances are you’ll have flashbacks of that lovely little Italian restaurant tucked away in a corner somewhere, with smells of fresh oven-baked pizza wafting through the air in addition to a delectable plate of spaghetti in front of you. Not with this Spaghetti Periscope though.

‘Q’ has outdone himself with this one!! A Spaghettii box that brilliantly turns in to a periscope for seeing over the tops of walls or around corners. So clever - even we can’t believe it! Suitable for 7 years and over.

Now that’s a hell lotta exclamation marks to describe a product. You can pick up the non-edible Spaghetti Periscope for £7.94 after taxes. Something more subtle would have been better IMHO.

R2-D2 seems to be everywhere these days, and this time he even keeps you dirty laundry organized by virtue of being a laundry basket.

Does your laundry have a nasty habit of piling up on your floor when you least expect it? Luckily these stylish Star Wars R2-D2 laundry baskets are imported from Japan and are here to assist. You get a set of two; One classic blue R2-D2 and one red R2-D1 (R2-M5 for you purists). These handy droids do all the work. Simply remove your laundry from the floor, and sort into light sides and dark sides (we prefer R2-D1 for the darks) by opening each droid’s head and dropping in your clothing. When a droid is full, take the contents and dump it in your washing machine with some detergent. Now press “start”. Voila! amazing mechanized laundry service at it’s best.

He retails for $39.99, and the pricing structure doesn’t really care whether you’re on the light or dark side of the Force.
