Take a look at this flying gadget from Swiss company senseFly. Utterly amazing. But be warned, the website doesn't seem to take money which means 2 things 1) If you have to ask you can't afford one and 2) these won't be in Toys R Us this Christmas... Sorry!
From the website (http://www.sensefly.com/products/swinglet-cam/):
"The swinglet CAM, is a safe and easy-to-use flying camera. It takes high-resolution pictures automatically based on user-defined GPS waypoints. It will be your eyes in the sky.
You don’t need to be a pilot to fly the swinglet CAM, it takes off, flies and lands by itself.
With help of the software ”e-mo-tion” you can define a whole flight path for the swinglet CAM and direct it where to take the pictures. Once the swinglet CAM has landed you can download those pictures from the photo camera. If you have basic computer skills, then you will be easily able to operate the flight programming software "e-mo-tion". With simple drag & drop functions it is possible to pre-program, and update during flight, the position, altitude and behaviour of the swinglet."

Star Wars Force Trainer - No Kidding!
I must admit, I love a gadget and I am not too ashamed to state that I am a big fan of Star Wars. Well, as "toys" go, this is up there with the rubix cube (tm) and hula hoop (probably tm).
The Star Wars (tm) Force Trainer is a wireless headset utilising cutting-edge EEG sensor technology, this is linked to a little device which converts your "thought energy" to control the rise and fall of a little ball in a tube. Apparently you can master this, controlling the ball with your mind with great accuracy.
Various annoying star wars themed sound effects and the obligatory yoda impersonator are all in there too. Sounds like too much fun for the kids, that is for sure.
Firebox have them in the UK, be sure to tell them who sent you.

Robot Violinist
The time where we will have to bow down to our robot overlords is rapidly approaching. In a somewhat surprising move. Toyota have made the entire planet's violinists redundant by rolling out theses robots. Get ready to see them busking on a street corner near you very soon.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
