120 items Pages Wallace and Gromit Cracking Alarm Clock As seen on The Hour on 16/12/2009. Whatever their endeavours, Wallace and Gromit are always there on time - whether it is eradicating the village of rabbits, window cleaning or even flying to the moon. And now you can wake up with a smile to possibly the most eccentric alarm clock ever invented! When the alarm goes off, instead of a boring alarm, a series of gravity fed ball bearings set off wind chimes, cymbals, and even a cockerel to ensure you wake up laughing. It will set you on the course to be on time ? no ?close shave? late arrivals here! The fun does not end there! Remove the dog bowl and set the ball bearing careering off on a mad course of your own invention. Could it knock down a row of dominos? Maybe it powers a contraption to feed the dog? You decide! It comes with a set of instructions. Natural History Museum Poo In a Box Here?s a novelty green gift from the Natural History Museum whose popularity is growing ? literally! Space Food Astronaut Ice Cream Enjoy a holiday confectionery just like the Astronauts do - the freeze-dried way! Ok, it's not quite like licking an ice cream whilst on your seaside trip, but for most of us this is the closest thing to enjoying a holiday into space. With the average cost of a ticket on a Russian Space agency transporter costing around 20 million US dollars, opportunities to go into orbit are not only limited but expensive! Astronaut Ice Cream, as well as other freeze dried food items, have been aboard space missions since the early Mercury Missions. They continue to be used on NASA missions today. Ready to eat, this Neapolitan flavoured Ice Cream comprises a "slice" of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. So how is Astronaut Ice-cream freeze-dried?Freeze-drying or lyophilisation, removes water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice shifts from a solid to a gas. The ice cream is placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the water crystallizes. The air pressure is lowered, creating a vacuum forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, vaporizing the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a perfect freeze-dried ice cream slice. NB: The Astronaut Ice Cream ? Neapolitan is excluded from our 28-day money back guarantee.

This is a kitchen accessory or bathroom accessory holder with a difference! The Cloth-Cat allows you to push a towel or cloth with your finger into the slotted rubber hole - the heavy duty rubber grips the cloth and holds it firmly in place. It has a kind of classic, innocent 1950's kitschness about it, until you realise that of course you're sticking a towel up an animal's bum - well durable plastic in the shape of a cat's bottom. This pussy can be easily attached to cupboards, walls, tiles, or fridges with a sticky foam pad or can be put up using the screw provided (recommended for a more secure attachment). Can either be used in the kitchen for dish cloths and tea towels or in the shower or bathroom for flannels and hand towels. And, to top it off, it recently took the honours in the 'Hot Novelty' category of the Gift of the Year Awards 2007 at the Grosvenor on London's Park Lane. Made from durable, easy-wipe plastic. Suck Dead Fred Pen Tidy This is not just a desktidy and no ordinary Pen Holder either! It's a serious message to all those who are thinking of stealing your pen! Work colleagues beware! Need to relieve some pent up anger and frustration? Tired of loosing your pen when it rolls under the edge of your keyboard? You need Fred on your desk, and then you need to stab him repeatedly in the chest with your writing implement of choice! By murdering Fred over and over with your pen, you?ll never be hunting around for the pen again.
