Remember how we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when those juddering dancing coke cans of our youth finally disappeared off the scene? Well be prepared to be live through it all again with this year’s latest craze – My Keepon.

Benefiting from being a whole lot cuter than those cans (and also have much better dance moves), this new toy may look like two tennis balls stuck together, but the reality he’s a very clever little guy having been originally produced not for fun, but as a tool to help autistic children nearly a decade ago!

Created originally in Japan by Dr Hideki Kozima, who wanted to test a theory that a robot capable of responding to gestures and touches could improve the social interactional skills of autistic children, this robot wasn’t cheap … in fact Keepon Pro cost a rather pricey $30,000.

The good news though was that it was worth it. The combination of technical wizardry and cute, simple design was a winner and was to see autistic children not only make more eye contact than they normally would, but also became more nurturing towards it.

However as impressive as this all was, it wasn’t My Keepon’s educational side that was to win him so may fans. That was all down to his dancing, something that he was taught by Dr Marek Michalowski who became part of the project after hearing about what Kozima had achieved.  Achieving it through clever computer programming that makes our heads hurt just thinking about it, Michalowski decided to show off Keepon’s skills on Youtube dancing to the band Spoon’s “I Turn My Camera On”.

Turning this educational tool into a viral sensation soon everyone wanted one, but there was a slight problem … that $30,000. Cue our heroes in toy manufacturer’s clothing Wow Stuff coming on the scene and working with the duo to create something a whole lot more affordable at around £40!

Super cute My Keepon may have lost some of his technical wizardry, but all the best bits are there – he responds to touch with bounces, twists and sounds and turn on some music and he’ll not only start moving, but do it exactly to the beat… and the coolest thing?! Unlike us he never does the same dance move twice and what’s even better is as well as being hugely entertaining, he’s also a charitable little guy as a percentage of each Keepon sale goes to autism research.

Fancy one of your own? You can find out more on the My Keepon Toy site which as well as offering a much more indepth look at this cute guy and even a Keepon: Where To Buy guide. Seriously those guys are spoiling you!

Mens designer jeans. A fashion product guaranteed to not only make you look damn hot, but also in the process empty your wallet of a whole lot of money right? Well usually it is however designer fashion store Tucci have been in touch to let us know that right now that’s far from true with them as they’re offering up to 70% off theirs!

Part of the final push to clear stock before they bring in the new Summer designer collection, the range of mens jeans they have available is pretty darn impressive and includes Adidas Originals, Bench, Damaged, Duck & Cover, Firetrap, French Connection, G-Star Raw, Gio-Goi, Henri Lloyd, Mish Mash, Paul Smith Jeans, Pepe, Police and Wrangler. Starting from £12.00 there are definitely some impressive bargains to be hard, but you’ll need to quick sizes are flying out of the door quicker than flights out of Stansted.

Oh, and ladies you’ve definitely not been forgotten either as Tucci is also offering womens jeans by Firetrap, Bench, G-Star Raw and even Pepe from just £12.00 too!

So why not avoid all that horrible silent treatment and be the bestest partner in the whole world by picking up one of these lovely delights:

1. Hotel Chocolat Sealed With A Kiss Chocolate Box

A gorgeous selection of 35 chocolates that you’ll be severely tempted to eat yourself (but shouldn’t because they will work out those are empty wrappers you’ve stuck in the holes), this heart shaped chocolate box from Hotel  Chocolat can’t help but win you serious bonus points.

Featuring, amongst others, utterly irresistible liquid caramels, melting pralines and ravishing truffles in beautiful chocolate hearts, passionate lips, the only thing you have to worry about is whether your Valentines gives you any.

The Sealed With A Kiss chocolate box is available for £40.00 from the Hotel Chocolat website.

2. Silver Plated Love Heart

Admit it we all in our youth got a pack of Love Hearts and kept chewing them (well there’s no point in wasting them) till we found the perfect one to give to our playground sweethearts. Now though we’ve all grown up it doesn’t seem that appropriate to give your Valentine a manky old bit of sugar… which is exactly why you shouldn’t and give her this Silver Plated Love Heart instead.

Presented in a stylish box on a black bed of fabric and red ribbon, this Sterling Silver Love Heart is definitely a step up from presenting your Valentine with a sweet in a bit of wrapper and can be all yours and then theirs for just £19.99 at Firebox.

3. Silver My Last Rolo

Love Hearts not posh enough for you? Well fine, how about this My Last Rolo instead. Totally identical to the real thing apart from the fact it will break your teeth if you try and eat it, this Valentines gift is romantic enough in it’s basic Silver state, but thanks to Getting Personal you can get even more bonus points as they will engrave it with 18 characters of your choice (we suggest something romantic as opposed to just random letters..).

Personalised and dispatched within 24 hours, this Silver My Last Rolo is available for £49.99 at Getting Personal.

4. Red Fur Love Cuffs

Well come on it wouldn’t be a proper Valentines gift list without some thing a little bit raunchy and these Red Fur Love Cuffs are definitely going to give you the opportunity for some sexy fun… well either that or just allow you to handcuff your other half to a chair leg whilst you meanly eat all of the chocolates they’ve bought you.

The Red Fur Love Cuffs are available for £8.00 from Ann Summers.

5. Amore Mio Aquapack Bouquet

Just like you need a bit of rauchiness on a Valentines list you also need some red roses, and we’ve definitely got an impressive bunch for you.

Made up of at least four fields of roses (okay that might be a slight exaggeration…), this rose bouquet makes a dozen red roses look positively weedy. It also comes with rather a hefty price tag of £175.00 (but on the good side the delivery is free…)

The Amore Mio Aquapack Bouquet can be ordered online from Blooming Direct.

Once upon a little fashion time ago all that Adidas was known for was producing sportswear. These days though far from only being seen on the sports field, the Adidas Originals footwear collection can be spotted on the feet of everyone from Kate Moss to Ben Affleck, all of the Brad Pitt / Angelina offspring and even Lady Gaga.

Why is it so darn popular you ask? Well you only need to take a look at the new 2011 collection at Oki-Ni to figure that one out. Made up of your basic short trainer, mid trainer and hi-top trainer these shoes do what Adidas Originals does best and that’s keep things simple.

Take for example the Adidas Originals OT Tech Bikehike Trainers. Designed using the classic cycling trainer silhouette as the basis for their design, these shoes leave it up to the colourways and fabric to create the WOW factor, and this one definitely does with it’s black leather to the back and sides, black suede to the top, blue heel and toe detailing and a sweet nude rubber soul to the bottom.

But don’t think that it’s all about blinding you with colours because Adidas Originals does subtle footwear just as well as it does eye-catching designs seen by the Adidas Originals Resplit Lo Trainer that keeps things super simple with it’s black leather and suede upper, white lace up design and grey rubber soul.

The new Adidas Originals 2011 collection can be ordered online now from Oki-Ni.

Let’s be honest if you could afford to wear designer mens underwear every day of the week you would. It fits better, it feels better and it looks pretty darn amazing compared to your bog standard high street purchase. The only thing is that for most of us when the decision comes down to whether you buy designer undies or your food for the week sadly the latter tends to have to win.

However all that could be about to change thanks to a new designer mens underwear brand to hit the UK that’s causing something of a stir. Called Doreanse, this brand is actually something of an old boy back in it’s home country of Turkey where it was set up by Ali Uysal in 1999, but hasn’t really been seen here until our online favourite mens undies store, Dead Good Undies added it to their bulging range last year.

Offering everything from boxer shorts to boxer briefs, jockstraps, g-string and even full mens bodysuits, the combination of cut and fabric choices definitely put them on par with all of the big brands like MANstore, HOM, Diesel and Calvin Klein with only one ting being different. The price tag and that’s in a very good way with prices starting from a teeny weeny £7, something that would probably buy you a side of a pant in any of the other brands!

Definitely one to check out Dead Good Undies have over 70 pieces on offer so whatever style you prefer we’re pretty sure there’s a piece of Doreanse underwear for you!

Let’s be honest if we could afford it then all of us would be wearing top designer fashion labels 24/7. However the reality is that there’s the issue of a few two many zeros after those first couple of numbers on the price tag right?

Well good news fashion lovelies, those zeros have just shrunk down to the size of a super skinny model thanks to the My Wardrobe End of Season Sale which has just slashed prices on it’s designer fashion by up to 70%!

Including pieces for both men and women, designer labels on offer include Tigi, Vivienne Westwood and Halston Hertiage amongst many others for the men and Polo Ralph Lauren, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Burberry and Alexander McQueen to name a few for the boys.

Super stylish, the discounts on these items are almost as mind blowing as the fashion pieces themselves, but with only one week to go you’ll need to be quick to get your designer fashion bargains because they’re selling out quicker than you can say “Oi that’s mine get your hands off it!”

However there are two slight problems with that. Firstly it’s going to be pretty darn hard to sneak out unnoticed, and secondly even if you could you’re likely to find that the shops are actually closed even for people as wondrous as you.

But fear not bargain shopper, everything is not lost because this year you will go to the Christmas Day sales and you won’t even need to leave the house to do it because the world wide web is ready to bring a whole host of Christmas Day sales right to your mouse clicking finger and to save you hours of Googling we’ve only gone out and found the best ones for you (and you didn’t even buy us a present… how bad are you feeling now!!)
