\nFew brands currently inspire such loyalty and devotion as Apple, so what better than this iPad dock<\/strong><\/a>, shaped like Apple Mac\u2019s very first computer. Essential for any self-respecting Apple fan, and there are plenty of those, this neat device blends retro with modern in one world-beating-career-spanning handy gadget.<\/p>\n
\nWhile we\u2019re on the subject of Apple\u2019s insanely popular devices and their accessories, these iPhone cases<\/strong><\/a> from Japan are well worth a mention. What at first appears to be a tempting plate of sushi is in fact an inedible but very useful protective case for your smartphone! Of course, nothing says Christmas like pieces of hyper-realistic plastic sushi, and who could resist these incredible lifelike imitation morsels of raw fish on rice? Our verdict: mouth-watering and effortlessly cool! Be warned: the website is in Japanese \u2013 on the off chance your Japanese is a little rusty, don\u2019t worry, the pictures tell you all you need to know. <\/p>\n
\nLego has been a resurgent brand in recent years, and not only with young children. These wood carved Lego figures<\/strong><\/a> are proof, if any was needed, that the popularity of Lego\u2019s designs has moved out of the kids\u2019 playroom and onto their parents\u2019 living room shelves. As elegant, stylish and yet playful figurines, these beautifully carved objects are hard to beat.<\/p>\n
\nAdmittedly not an essential during the holidays, this cheeky little alarm clock<\/strong><\/a> will really come into its own once the New Year comes around and work begins in earnest. If you\u2019ve ever overslept thanks to the snooze button, this is the alarm clock for you. No sooner has it gone off, than it wheels away, forcing you to get out of bed to turn it off. An ingenious gift, although not necessarily your favourite possession first thing on a cold January morning.<\/p>\n
\nJust because it\u2019s freezing cold at this time of year, doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t want to use our phones outdoors, or our tablet devices, or pretty much anything else. Step in these cunning Freehands Gloves<\/strong><\/a>. With adjustable fingers on the thumb and forefinger of each hand, having a pair of these gloves means that you can use a handset outdoors with speed and efficiency. Being outside need not mean being out of touch with the world, and that surely is something to be thankful for.<\/p>\n
