Crazy Gifts

It gets more difficult every year. Finding something new and interesting for that close friend's birthday, or searching out an original present for a dear old uncle (surely, not socks again!). You want to give them something different; you want to surprise them with something individual and interesting. Crazy Gifts could be your salvation. It's an inspirational sourcebook for present givers, designers and style-conscious consumers, packed with fantastic gift ideas, from the practical (think self-heating baby's bottle) to the cutely quirky (pop art toaster anyone?) and downright clever (how about a swimming mask that shoots video?). Sections on kitchen gifts, well-being, games, gadgets, home, techno and fashion contribute to an indispensable compendium of new 'stuff'. Some gifts, like the snake-shaped LED bench, stand out for their design qualities, whilst others, such as the massaging head spa that relieves the symptoms of migraine, have proven health benefits.
