These days everyone wants to be a property tycoon. And that’s hardly surprising when every other show on TV is about making millions buying and selling property. Well okay, they’re about watching a procession of over-confident dimwits ignoring the advice of experts and losing their emulsion-spattered shirts in the process. We digress.

The point being, building up a property portfolio is incredibly entertaining. And that’s precisely why the game of Monopoly is as exciting now as it was when it first hit the streets over 70 years ago. But wouldn’t it be good if you could work your way round an official, made-to-order board featuring places, spaces and icons of your choice?

With My Monopoly you can do exactly that and more! Forget about Fenchurch Street and Marylebone Station; My Monopoly allows you to build a property empire on spaces named by you, for you. Simply send us your requirements and in a couple of weeks you’ll have your very own one-of-a-kind game, custom-made at the official Monopoly Factory.

Forget wheelies, no-hands and bunny-hops; riding a bicycle is about staying safe and being seen. That’s why it’s vital to signal when turning. The trouble is you need to take your hand off the handlebars, stick it out and risk high-fiving a lamp post, walloping a wing mirror or face-slapping a pedestrian. That’s why you need Bicygnals.

These ingenious bicycle lights feature wireless indicators that can be operated with a flick of the thumb - no frantic arm-waving required. Brilliant! Wireless technology enables both front and rear indicators to work in perfect sync. Simply slide each sleek light cluster onto the adjustable clamps and you’re away.

Backpacking around the globe is all well and good but safety should always come first. In fact safety should be your number one priority on any kind of trip, whether you’re camping, hiking, boating or mountaineering. (Of course mountaineers are into Firebox).

Most fold-up bikes are about as portable as lead cement mixers. What’s more you normally need a degree in engineering to collapse and assemble the unwieldy mass of metal tubing. And then there are all those oily parts to contend with. It’s enough to make you give up on the whole fold-up bike concept.

And give up is exactly what we had done until one of our product scouts rolled into Firebox HQ on an A-bike. This revolutionary transportation-system (okay, fold-up bike) is being hailed as the answer to all your short-hop journey dilemmas as it is the world’s first truly portable, commuter-friendly bicycle.

Perfect for getting out and about!
Weighing in at a mere 5.7kg, the meticulously-engineered A-bike has been specifically created for short-hop journeys - to the station, the shops, the gym, the cinema, or anywhere else that you need to get to pronto.

Aren’t boiled eggs great? Yummy yolks, nutritious whites, and you even get to smash their heads in. Yes indeed, boiled eggs really are the ultimate convenience food - assuming you’ve got a stove. Because as everyone knows, you can’t do boiled eggs in the microwave. Or can you?

Boiley - Microwave Egg Boiler
Well thanks to Boiley the Microwave Egg Boiler you can do eggsactly that. It might look like a comedy chicken - and it is - but this ingenious gizmo lets you boil eggs in the microwave without any splat-tastic eggsplosions. (Enough already with the eggscrutiating wordplay).

Simply pop your egg in Boiley’s base, add water to the fill line, screw on the top and bung it in the microwave. Boiley will then cook your chooky egg to perfection, just how you like it - soft, medium or hard - in 3 to 5 minutes. Eggcellent! (Oops).

The other day we decided to get Salvador Dali, Barbarella and Mr Spock to create an interactive digital audio sculpture. Sadly, for one reason or another, all three celebs were unavailable. But this turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Zoundz beats anything they could come up with hands down.

This totally bizarre music-making gizmo is set to become one of the most engrossing desktop playthings in history, as it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard.

In fact, trying to describe Zoundz is a bit like trying to describe sausage meat through the medium of dance, but we’ll give it a go. Basically Zoundz involves moving various pawn-like pieces around a base to create weird and wonderful music and generate mesmerising light shows.

Brushing your teeth is boring, isn’t it? But, unless you want a set of gnashers like Shane MacGowan, it’s something you should do at least twice a day, every day. So wouldn’t it be great if there was a toothbrush that provided some kind of entertainment whilst you brush? Well now there is and it’s called Tooth Tunes.

‘I’m a survivor, I’m gonna work harder’
Ideal for reluctant brushers of all ages (and that means you, kids!) this brilliant battery-powered toothbrush actually transmits hit music into your head as you brush. No really! Soundwaves stream through the bristles and travel through your jawbone to your inner ear where the music reverberates in your head. Incredible! Simply press the button and begin brushing.

We’ve seen some bonkers alarm clocks in our time but Clocky has just raised the bar. And that’s because this wacky waker-upper leaps off the bedside table and scoots around looking for somewhere to hide when its alarm sounds. No, really!

Simple controls
Simply set Clocky’s snooze button to zero and when the alarm sounds all hell breaks loose as this madcap digital clock scurries away, making random turns and racing from your grasp as it searches for somewhere to hide, beeping and flashing all the way. Think R2D2 on Red Bull crossed with a crazy rooster and you’re halfway there.

Let’s be honest, TV is the greatest invention ever. A rather sweeping statement when you consider some of the other contenders, but you can’t watch X-Factor, SpongeBob, 24 and the latest series of The Sopranos on an internal combustion engine or a flushing toilet, can you?

Indeed, TV is now so ridiculously entertaining, with so many fantastic digital channels, it’s difficult keeping up with your favourite shows. Yes, you can show-off and invest in a Sky+ box, but you have to keep paying for that even after you’ve shelled out for the unit itself. Then of course there’s Freeview, with its impressive range of freebie digital channels. But you can’t do all that pause/rewind live TV, record two channels simultaneously malarkey with that, can you? Well, yes, you can if you get hold of the amazing Topfield PVR.

This ingenious little box of tricks is essentially two Freeview digiboxes and a multifunctional 250GB hard drive in one. This means that as well as receiving loads of spectacularly captivating digital channels you can do all those fancy-pants Sky+ recording tricks without any subscription fees or unsightly dishes.

Running out of juice when you’re chatting on your mobile, battling aliens on your PSP or listening to your iPod is one of the most annoying things known to mankind. Well it’s not, but it’s irritating nonetheless. Thankfully portable gizmos are rechargeable, so you merely plug them into the nearest socket and wait.

But what do you do when you’re nowhere near a power source? Well it just so happens that, unless you’re reading this from the Planet Tharg, you’re always near a power source: the sun.

Handheld video cameras are great, but as the name suggests you need to hold them. With your hands. And that’s fine when you’re recording dad dozing, baby crawling and the best man making a fool of himself. It’s not so great, however, when you’re careering down a hill on your mountain bike, whooshing down the piste on your snowboard or holding three pints in one hand and a bag of pork scratchings in the other.
