Chalkboard Globe 
A printed globe that lets you add your own details onto the map. You can doodle landmarks, tick the places you’ve been, circle where you want to go and draw a cross against the places you want to avoid. The 20cm-diameter globe is set on a sturdy metal base and spins on its axis like any regular globe.

Skydrive
A paper plane with an electric motor. The special paper is already lined so you know where to fold, making sure you will always get the most aerodynamic design. Attach the motor assembly to the centre, charge it up for 20 seconds and you are ready to watch your creation fly rather than drop at your feet.

Flip10 Recharger
This ultra-compact and portable charger packs in 2600 mAh with 1A output. It can be charged in and out by using the USB flip tip and the included micro USB charging cable. Taking just 2.5 hours to become fully charged, the Flip 10 Recharger can also connect to a compatible Goal Zero solar panel to top up even when you’re not near a power source.

Fitbit Alta HR
If you don’t have a fitness tracker, the Fitbit Alta HR is a great place to start. Unlike a smartwatch, the battery lasts a whole week and the slim and discreet band houses plenty of tech. It tracks steps, calories burned, sleep and heart rate, includes extras like hourly mini goals and comes in six colours with accessory bands sold separately. The only downside is it’s not waterproof.

Breakfast of Champions 
This ingenious spoon allows you to get your much needed morning work out without causing a disturbance to your schedule. Thanks to the weighted barbell at the handle end of the spoon, every time you slurp up your breakfast, you get the benefits of a bicep curl too!

Inmacus 18mm HD Lens Kit 
Wide lens angles designed to attain additional wide high-clarity images and video. The optical design provides 50 per cent more detail than a typical iPhone picture. Multi-coating on all the optical elements further ensures maximum light transmission with lowest level of light reflection and flare to produce bright, high-clarity still pictures and videotaping.

RC Tarantula
If you enjoy pranking your friends, or you just love spiders, then this is the perfect gadget for you. Use the remote to scurry round the house and terrorise as you go. It can also be put into auto mode to scamper round of its own accord.

Light Grooves
These are funky charge and sync cables that indicate your phone’s power without you even having to look at the screen. As soon as you plug the cables into a power source, you will see electroluminescent green or blue lights flying through the cable. Fast flying lights mean you are around half way charged, slow moving lights are for over 65 per cent and once the charging is complete, the lights will disappear.
