Whether you’re a child of the 80s or 90s & have already had a go or are currently a crystal virgin we think these Grow Your Own Crystals are pretty awesome. The idea is simple yet also wonderfully scientific. Take your seed crystal, pop it in a suitable container, dissolve your ammonium dihydrogen phosphate & potassium phosphate power in hot water, let it cool & let the magic happen as your new crystals gather on the seed. We delved into the exciting world of crystal production as children & were proud of our self-made masterpieces. That proudness was switched for crossness as our work gathered dust & was confined to the dustbin by our clean freak mothers. & that’s we think it’s about time we got hold of a Grow Your Own Crystals set & create something quite amazing to adorn mums windowsill forever more. ...

Back in 2007 some clever people got together & decided that the Ghost Chilli was the hottest in the world.

The question is if you’re brave enough to Grow Your Own Extra Hot Ghost Chilli? If you’re a bit of a dare devil & decide that heat is the way to go your postman will innocently deliver a little tin.

Just remember our gold rules for quick chilli cultivation: The hotter & more humid the conditions the hotter the chillies will be! Never eat a chilli whole! Always use gloves when planting & handling your chillies! ...

The super-responsive Apache Gyro Helicopter is perfect for stealth attacks on the accounts department. Its 3-channel control system coupled with in-built gyro technology means that flying this military marvel has never been so easy or precise! Unlike previous generations of helicopters, the Gyro Apache can be flown with complete control
- left, right, up, down, forwards & backwards. In fact, as far as features go, it offers just what youd expect from a much larger RC helicopter
- minus the hefty price tag of course. The advanced gyroscope system takes care of in-flight stability, so even if youre a bit rubbish at patting your head & rubbing your tummy at the same time, youll find the Apache a piece of cake to fly. The gyro basically takes all the hectic spinning around youll find in standard helicopters, & puts a stop to it, you just take off, & this great little helicopter will hover steadily, which is both clever & a great relief to many. It comes with an easy to grapple remote control, spare blades & an all important LED searchlight on the nose for night missions. Do try night flying, its great fun. The Apache Gyro will charge up either via the supplied USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable, or if youre away from your computer, via a lead from the remote control itself. A full charge can you get you anything up to 10 minutes of flight time (depending on how madly you fly the thing), & youll be very pleased with just how easily manoeverable this great little helicopter is.

The Gyro Master 4 Channel helicopter is a great leap forward (and indeed sideways) in the world of affordable indoor flying helicopters. Being a Gyro its so stable a horse could live in it, & much as we are all getting used to being able to fly helicopters now without a degree in aeronautical engineering, adding a fourth channel should do your head in, but with this little marvel, it doesnt. So what does 4 channel mean? 2 channel is up & down only, 3 channel is up & down, left & right & forwards & back wards, 3 channel gyro is all of that without you crashing into a pot plant or having a seizure, & 4 channel gyro is a sort of heavenly nirvana, as it adds sideways to the mix & is as close to flying a real helicopter as it gets, but considerably easier & without the expense of landing fees. Now you can do proper helicopter sweeping turns, sidle up to your landing pad, & in the case of the Gyro Master 4, look a little like a pilot out of the movie Avatar. It charges via USB (Universal Serial Bus), has a dinky spotlight in the nose for night flying, comes with spare main, tail & side rotors, & looks really very cool indeed. Take your helicopter flying to a new dimension, well a sideways one at any rate, with the Gyro Master 4 Helicopter, we love this. ...

There are swarms of Gyro helicopters out there, but theres also a lot of bad ones. Weve tested the heck out of most of them & the Nighthawk Gyro stands head & shoulders (or blades) above the rest. Its achingly easy to fly, & the gyro stabiliser means that it hovers perfectly, without spiralling round & round the way many of its predecessors did. Easy forward & back motion, slick & super-sharp left & right turns, coupled with the epic remote control design, allows for smooth & reactive flight. Within minutes youll be flying it around with precision accuracy, loudly mouth-trumpeting your best rendition of the airwolf theme tune & buzzing anyone within distance. Add in the front facing white LED lights, & the fear on your targets face is beautifully illuminated. Although we think the lights are actually there to make night flight a doddle. With 6-8 minutes of joy inducing flight, theres enough time to let everyone have a go, & when its charge finally caves in, you can either re-juice it via the remote, or (and how cool is this) use the USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable to charge it via your computer. This helicopter is the PERFECT first helicopter, & even if you, or the lucky recipient, classes themselves as an intermediate flyer, it still provides hours of fun. ...
