| For the man has everything, we bet he hasn't got a Minicooler in his bedroom.
With enough space for the equivalent of 18 regular soft drinks cans, a Minicooler will keep you
and your closest friends refreshed and satiated in places where once you were hot and thirsty.
Thanks to a provided cigarette lighter adapter, you can also use your Minicooler on road trips
by plugging it into your dashboard. If that's not enough you can even use the Minicooler to
do the reverse - it'll keep your mince pies nicely warmed if you're that way inclined.
Choose from red, blue or silver.

Can't afford the Minicooler. Then try Shot Rocks. Like everything, slugging
back a drink from a glass made from solid ice is an event that needs to be experienced
at least once. And, in a similar vein to what happens when you ingest those highly
addictive crisps packed in tubes, once you’ve tried a Shot Rock, it won’t be long before
you’re at it again. Simply add water - widely available from taps and bottles - to the
Shot Rocks mould; put the mould in the freezer and wait. You’ll be left with four
solid ice shot glasses. You can do more with Shot Rocks then merely filling them with a
fat shot of spirits. Making coloured Shot Rocks is easy, as a splash of fruit juices
and/or fizzy pop added to water in the moulds will give impressively garish results.

portable skincare solution. £22.50 from Mankind

| Even we couldn't resist the Harry Potter phenomenon this Christmas. In fact
the only thing that held us back was how to spell phenomenon. A perfect pressie
for any Potter buff, or for someone who's yet to fall under the spell, is this
wonderful set of unabridged readings of the first three volumes, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
in a practical presentation tin. Read by the simply superb Stephen Fry, (who surely
was born to be the voice of Harry Potter) the story of the most famous schoolboy
in the world is brought to stunning life in a collection of 18 audio cassettes.
