Why not go absolutely crazy at bath time & paint your whole body red? Or blue, perhaps? Or mix the two into an attractive shade of violet & then recreate the violet Beauregarde scene from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory? This body paint soap is undoubtedly the next big thing for your bath time. The liquid soap comes in a big tube & has a cleverly-designed sponge nozzle, so as you squeeze out a blob of colour, you can smear it over your arm in a wide, sweeping stroke. Or, for more detailed doodling, just allow a thinner stream to pour out. Make yourself into a work of art, & then wash it all off. Mum will also love the fact that this really is soap: What feels like playtime for the kids is getting them nice & clean. You can buy the two colours separately, but we'd advise you pop both into your basket so your little Da Vinci can be as creative as possible! ...

All the sensory delights of real candles, without the errant wax, smoke & naked flames. This pair of lamps are shaped like pillar candles (often seen in romantic films as the camera pans away from the rude bit) & actually made from REAL WAX that emits a delicious vanilla fragrance. The clever electronic trickery inside causes the light to flicker & stutter as if it were a real flame, & a control turns the candles on or off remotely (also works individually if the candles are placed a couple of metres apart). ...

Enthusiasm for this disc shooting robot has gone through the roof here at Hawkin HQ! Operating the robot from the remote control is easy & grasped in an instant, so that it's simple to make it move around & do its stuff. It is also programmable from the chest panel ' Master, I await your command' is stated in a suitably sober robotic voice
- give a list of commands, press 'go' & it will do them in sequence as you have requested. Functions include 'dance', 'turn', 'raise gun', & our favourite, 'fire disc'. With a stack of foam discs loaded inside, programme the robot to take aim on unsuspecting victims before powerfully & rapidly firing discs at your target
- brilliant! Whilst performing the functions it will announce phrases such as 'you are under arrest' & 'identify yourself', & the voice is spot on too, commanding & officious. We love it & we are absolutely certain you will too!
