Add some excitement and danger to your otherwise mundane existence with ‘Absinthe and Flamethrowers’ (£12.33). This book contains projects such as knife-throwing, eating fugu (highly toxic blowfish sushi) and building a flamethrower. The theory maintained in the book is that risk-takers lead a more fulfilling life and are destined to be more successful. Get dangerous!

Whisky Stones

Ice is the enemy of the whisky drinker, as it melts it waters down the delicate flavours. These whisky soapstones ($20) chill in the freezer quickly and when added to whisky, will cool without affecting the taste. I wish I knew someone who drank whisky so I could give this to them!

Powerball Neon Pro

Jamie — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:50:51 +0000

The Powerball (£14.99) is a hand gyroscope that spins as you rotate your wrist. The faster you rotate your wrist, the faster the internal rotor spins, creating a numbing inertia that strengthens your wrists and arms. Beneficial for golfers, musicians, tennis players, squash players, basketballers and a heap of other sports boys and girls, this grown-up’s toy is seriously addictive.

In case our description doesn’t hit the spot, watch this awful video:

Amazing photography and a DVD make this a great gift for anyone. Subjects include Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood and Nelson Mandela.
