Aaargh, it’s the start of the Christmas insanity. And we’ve fallen for it already. Aaargh.

The Christmas Sunshine Buddy. This indefatigably cheerful soul uses solar energy to power his happy nodding head. Cute. That smile might get a bit wearing as the Big Day draws closer though, eh? Once the relatives begin to arrive and the kids start roping up their frail cousins in the basement. £6.99.

 Each Sunshine buddy requires lots of warm, sunny sunshine! • Sunshine Buddies work on the theory of perpetual motion • Sunshine Buddies work without batteries • Their heads sway silently to relax your senses and invite you into a calming world • These buddies are constant friends and ask nothing of you except companionship and a smile.
