Here's a top-of-the-range product from Digital Silence.
In ear noise cancelling phones designed for mobile phones which double up as your MP3 player.
Not only do you get fantastic power blocking out the sounds of your environment, such as the gym's insistence on broadcasting Crap FM, but a switch on the cable allows you to answer your phone if it rings during the music.
And the in-built microphone means you don't have to remove the comfortable soft pods from your ears.
There's hardly any noise leakage too, so no-one has to know that you're listening to Justin Bieber while you work or work out.
The volume and bass are terrific - my Sansa clip usualy struggles with volume on mid-range earphones but there's real impact with these. Expect to pay about £70, but it's worth it if you want - possibly - the last word in quality.
If you are the kind of parent who likes to get your kids a different type of gift or an uncle who likes to get a nephew or niece the wackiest present you can find then this is 100% for you.
Air Swimmers are quite absurdly fish that swim through the air, a shark or a clownfish to be precise.
As you can see from the video they glide through the air as if they were swimming using the fin to move in the same way a fish would.
Do NOT buy this if you have a small house, you need to have plenty of room and you also need to take your time when assembling it.
Great fun and just about the quirkiest gift you could buy for Xmas.

A MIDLAND man has invented a new iPhone app - for babies.
Children's author and illustrator Shoo Rayner, from Gloucester, has called his invention the Sweet Little Baby Boo. It features an animated baby which plays peek-a-boo and wriggles when you 'tickle' its tummy.
Now the writer believes his app could be the start of a big business in baby friendly technology. He said: "It's not just a silly experiment for a laugh."
