I’d never heard of these wooden toy cars before until I read about Automoblox in a Sunday supplement.

Automoblox cars are proper wooden cars designed to made by children …and dads of course!

There’s a range of different vehicles to choose from including sports cars, pick-ups and mini cars too.

Can sometimes be hard to get hold off but as I look today amazon have got quite a few different ones in stock.

Simples Meerkat Toys and Gifts

meerkatOne of the most successful ad campaigns in years features a meerkat (pictured) and the catchphrase simples

The ad for comparison site Compare The Market featured a meerkat called Aleksandr Orlov and a spoof company called Compare The Meerkat. Despite being dreamed-up by two ad executives in a pub (honestly – but you’re not surprised are you?) and being rather daft, the meerkat has been a huge success.

The meerkat gift market is slowly catching up with the audience and there are now some meerkat toys, mugs and gifts available here and there. Gifts seem to be in short supply though and there are a couple of tacky ones knocking around, so if you want one, it’s nice and it’s in stock then you’d best snap it up. Try these stores for meerkat gifts:

Bagpuss Warmer

bagpuss warmerAs cruel as it may seem, you’re supposed to stick this well known cat in the microwave!

Yep, the way to make this fab soft toy Bagpuss Warmer work is to warm him up a bit in the microwave for 2 minutes.

You see to make Bagpuss give off some warm cuddly heat, you need to warm the stuff inside his tummy (specially treated wheat grains, scented with lavender). Once you’ve done that you can give him a big cuddle and feel just how nice and warm he is!

This is a really great novelty gift and one that is selling like hot cats cakes so, you’d best be quick and get your Bagpuss order in!
