Firing your angry bird from the catapult at those green pigs has become a very addictive habit for millions of players and the characters are instantly recognisable. There’s even been talk of an Angry Birds movie!

You can now buy Angry Birds plush toys (pictured) at Character Online – previously the soft toys were only available in America. They come in a range of sizes (4,5 or 8 inch) and also as backpack clips. You can choose between silent or sound versions too.

A great gift for fans of Angry Birds!

Here’s the 2010 Christmas advert from John Lewis, published about week after the Marks & Spencer ad featuring Peter Kay.

I like this ad but I’m not sure I’d want our children to see it in case they ask “why are that mum and dad sneaking presents upstairs to hide in the loft?”. And is it just me or is it a bit too cold to leave the poor dog outside in his kennel when it’s supposed to be very cold and snowing?

The advert was filmed in Scotland - probably in the middle of summer – and the lyrics accompanying the ad are from Elton John’s ‘Your Song’, sung by Brit Award winner Ellie Goulding.

He weighs in at about 2kg and is 32cm high. There’s a puppy version too for added cuteness at a cheaper price!

Ideal for keeping any door open and he doesn’t need walking, feeding or cleaning-up after.

A great gift for dog lovers in your family and friends.

This product is called the Undercover Laptop Bag and it’s designed to disguise and protect your precious laptop inside.

The bag is waterproof, tearproof and padded and it’s also size adjustable (via velcro straps) so it’ll take brick-sized laptops along with Mac Books!

The bag has markings, including a fake address to make it look just like a battered old jiffy bag or parcel. You can even write on it if you want to! Great for students and for anyone who doesn’t want people to see them carrying their laptop around.

I’ve already used it myself to buy a birthday card for my wife last December. In fact I ordered it early and specified a delivery date whilst I remembered!

It’s dead easy to use; simply browse through the wide choice of cards (for all occasions) and pick the one you want. Then enter the persons name and message as required, give the delivery address and you’re just about done.

Why not try it yourself today.
