These absolute bargains (they really are!) all have savings of at least 55%. Whatsmore, they all come highly recommended, ensuring that your gift choice will be both well received and well remembered.

The Smart e-Bear

Described by the manufacturers as being "the gap between 21st century technology and timeless, loveable plush. Children play interactively by squeezing the toy's hands or feet. Children select stories such as the Three Little Pigs, or Play games such as Simon Says, or just listen to their favorite songs. Parents select all the content from the smartebear.com website and can change the content on the toy at any time with a simple USB connection to their PC or Mac" I have to confess to not actually testing this toy but, judging by the five star customer reveiws, I suspect that it's an absolute gem, especially at it's current bargain price.

Martian Matter Mega Set

This super set by Hasbro offers creative fun for little boys who dream of making spaceships and alien creatures on their own magical planet. Hasbro say, “Pop open this alien spaceship to discover all sorts of alien-making technologies, including LUNAR LAVA™ gel and reusable METEOR MUD™ compound, which you can use to create alien forms. Mix and match the 14 different half-molds to create more than 90 different wacky alien combinations! Place your finished alien creations in the spaceship’s pods to “fly” the aliens home. Or display them in the light-up PLANETARY POD display! Use the tools to flatten or “dissect” your alien creatures. Dream up endless adventures and experiments for your aliens and creative fun that’s completely cosmic.” Reduced to just $8.99 (while stocks last), this has to be the ultimate buy for little boys this Christmas.

Fisher-Price Puppy Grows and Knows Your Name

This cute bundle of fun is currently offered at a simply incredible price.  Fisher Price are known for the quality of their products and this magical interactive toy is no exception.  A gorgeous and extremely talented pup that grows to be a full-sized dog in just four days.  Your pup can learn a variety of things and can even sing songs incorporating your name.  The programming CD (you will need a Windows PC with a CD drive and USB port for this) and other accessories are included in this sensational offering which is sure to be a hit with all kids this Christmas.  

EyeClops BioniCam

Winner of the 2008 toy awards, this amazing and educational gadget “opens up a world of microscopic fun for kids to explore” and is currently reduced from almost $80 to an amazing $17.99, giving you a saving of 75% on the original price. This bionic eye allows you to take digital pictures and capture video that documents new discoveries. Designed to keep inquisitive children aged eight and upwards entertained and interested in the world around them, the BioniCam is also engaging enough to captive adults, making it an ideal gift for all ages, although I personally feel it is best suited to younger teens. The detachable USB memory stick plugs directly into your computer for quick access to images and the included video cable allows you to display images on your TV. Described by users as being “superb education fun that no kid should be without” I think this makes a memorable and exceptionally priced Christmas present for a special teenager.

Trivial Pursuit Digital Choice

I love the fact that you can customize this new version of Trivial Pursuit by downloading your own questions, as well as enjoying the 600 pre-loaded questions that come with this favourite family game and include such categories as sports and leisure, science and nature, people and places and entertainment.  Once you’ve tried this electronic version, you won’t want to play Trivial Pursuit any other way and for only $14.99 you get an awful lot of entertainment for your money.  The perfect family Christmas gift.  

Crest By Tommy Hilfiger V-Neck Sweater

I brought one of these sweater for my husband recently and was very impressed with the high quality of the garment, considering it was purchased for under $25. I can highly recommend this as a stylish and durable gift that he will wear again and again. It makes a wearable and very special last minute gift for the man in your life.
