Molton Brown make just about the best bath and shower products and there are only a few retailers who stock it. But we've found one and they've got the ultimate shower collection in a great gift box. The set includes 100ml sizes of Invigorating Ginseng Shower Gel, Warming Eucalyptus Shower Gel, Seamoss Energising Bath and Shower Therapy and Vitamin AB +C Bath and Shower Gel together with a complimentary body exfoliator.

For the man has everything, we bet he hasn't got a Minicooler in his bedroom. With enough space for the equivalent of 18 regular soft drinks cans, a Minicooler will keep you and your closest friends refreshed and satiated in places where once you were hot and thirsty. Thanks to a provided cigarette lighter adapter, you can also use your Minicooler on road trips by plugging it into your dashboard. If that's not enough you can even use the Minicooler to do the reverse - it'll keep your mince pies nicely warmed if you're that way inclined. Choose from red, blue or silver. £129.95 from Firebox


Can't afford the Minicooler. Then try Shot Rocks. Like everything, slugging back a drink from a glass made from solid ice is an event that needs to be experienced at least once. And, in a similar vein to what happens when you ingest those highly addictive crisps packed in tubes, once you’ve tried a Shot Rock, it won’t be long before you’re at it again. Simply add water - widely available from taps and bottles - to the Shot Rocks mould; put the mould in the freezer and wait. You’ll be left with four solid ice shot glasses. You can do more with Shot Rocks then merely filling them with a fat shot of spirits. Making coloured Shot Rocks is easy, as a splash of fruit juices and/or fizzy pop added to water in the moulds will give impressively garish results.

Even we couldn't resist the Harry Potter phenomenon this Christmas. In fact the only thing that held us back was how to spell phenomenon. A perfect pressie for any Potter buff, or for someone who's yet to fall under the spell, is this wonderful set of unabridged readings of the first three volumes, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in a practical presentation tin. Read by the simply superb Stephen Fry, (who surely was born to be the voice of Harry Potter) the story of the most famous schoolboy in the world is brought to stunning life in a collection of 18 audio cassettes.
