Everyone takes their technology too seriously nowadays. It’s all cool brushed metal this, and sleek stylish bezel that. What the world really needs is more fun with their gadgets – less sombre, more tee-hee. Not only will it make those dull business meetings more interesting, it might get you noticed by people that count. H.R. for a start.

The iCrayon is just the kind of product that should do the trick. Designed as an alternative stylus for touchscreen devices like the iPad or smartphones, it comes in a refreshingly silly range of colors, is guaranteed not to damage your screen and keeps the device free of smudgy, greasy finger marks. Bonus! Made from silicone, and priced at $7.60 plus a whopping $17.99 shipping (or £14.95).
