Toys are always fun and the older you get the more fun and expensive toys you can buy.
The legend of the Loch Ness monster has intrigued me since I was a boy when we visited Loch Ness, near Inverness in Scotland. I’m definitely going to buy one of these remote controlled Loch Ness monsters – for my son of course!
I couldn’t find much detail on the original product page, so I had a hunt around using Google, and put a summary of specifications from what I’m fairly certain are the same remote control toy, but I’ll check with the manufacturers later.
This looks a little bit safer than the Wego Kite that we reported on a few weeks a go but it still looks a load of wet fun. The big bowl tow-able is a heavy duty inflatable bowl (hence the name) that you sit in and towed across the water at high speed.
You can connect up to 4 of the bowls together so each member of the family can have their own little boat for a leisurely tug or a white water knuckle clenching ride, I know which I’d prefer.
The Big Bowl Towable is available from Hammacher for $259.99.
C’mon! Your kids will adore you forever if you buy them one of these!
It’s an inflatable water slide, ideal for those summer afternoons when the children get bored too easily. And of course their friends are always welcome too.
Kids get all the best toys, if you fancy spoiling yours with this cool looking electric powered wooden space shuttle it will set you back $300 which is actually a bit of a bargain considering it’s reduced from $2,000 (did I sound a bit like a woman in the sales saying that? :))

This has got to be the coolest spy toy ever, a remote control car with a built in night vision camera that transmits what it sees back to a pair of LCD glasses.
When I was a kid I used to have a spy cardboard suitcase that contained advanced spy kit stuff like a magnifying glass, fingerprint powder and a Morse code book. I’d of killed for one of these spy cars.
I can imagine this toy getting many a kid brother into trouble, followed by a slap off an older sisters friends.

These cute little figures could leave you in a quandary, do you keep them or plant them. The eyes on each figure are actually seeds and the body contains nutrients to help it grow. You can get a melon, tomato or pumpkin. Plant them or keep them, you decide

Cups is a popular game in the States (or so I’ve read) where players have to stack cups in different arrangements as quickly as possible. It looks like the craze (which is actually a sport believe it or not) is going to being hit the UK shores anytime now, thanks to Firebox’s Racing Cups.
If you thought an uncle making a penny appear from behind your ear was magic you’ll be amazed by the Magic Penny Magnet Kit.
The kit combines both science and magic to provide you with some fun experiments (gees you could even say it’s educational).
