For many, this icon from the 60s which graced the table of countless households during that golden era, will remind them of a childhood in which ketchup accompanied every meal & especially chips. Some things are so nice to revisit because of the other memories they evoke & this squeezy ketchup container will do just that, as well as being a great retro item for youngsters who have never seen one before. A kitsch addition to the dining table & a nostalgic conversation piece prompting questions such as ' Do you remember spam fritters?'. ...

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). ...

Get ready for high-flying action! Our fantastic model helicopter is great for complex sorties throughout the house, or simply for buzzing around your sister's head. This design features 4-channel control for immediate change of direction, lift & speed.

The combination of an internal gyro & an in-flight adjustable trim stops the aircraft from tipping forward, to keep it perfectly balanced for fast & responsive flight. Powered prior to flying from the handset, reducing weight along with a light metal frame & strong but flexible composite materials, for maximum durability & control. Thirty minutes charging provides seven minutes of flight, & the helicopter comes with a spare set of rotor blades. ...

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!
