OK, so it’s getting close to Xmas and the Ferret owes it to you all to offer up some totally ridiculous gadgets from the Boy’s Stuff catalogue.

Want to look like a gonk? Then fork out �7.99 for these light specs and you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

Too lazy to get up from the TV when the phone rings? Simply hand over �35.00, get a caller ID phone and plug the TV Messenger into your TV/video system. Then when someone rings their name will be displayed on the screen for you to decide.

Finally, how can you possibly live without the Talking Pedometer? That’s right, strap it to your leg (or any other part of your anatomy obviously) and listen as it counts off the steps and miles. It can even play a melody or recite the time. �14.99 but priceless!
