The Mini Sport Digital Camcorder was selling for £24.99 and so you’re saving some ncie quid on it. It is ultra small, can act as a voice recorder, and can even double up as a webcam. The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery for two hours usage, can it can be recharged via USB too (which is ace).

It records in AVI format for easy upload to Facebook or YouTube, delivers 720x480 resolution (that’s not HD, sorry fans), records onto a Micro SD card and is plug-and-play for video transfer to your PC. Included in the kit is an 8GB SD card, a USB cable, the software CD, a mounting clip and a protective case.

It won’t be the best quality in the world but it is cheap and would be a perfect stand in until you’ve got enough for that super HD darling.

Men adore gadgets. Women do too, obviously, but this week is all about Father’s Day and this particular gadget is a lovely little extra to slip into the Father’s Day present pile. If the Leatherman we discovered last week is a little out of your price range, then this chap at £12.99 including free delivery should fit the bill nicely.

This 91mm long penknife has four layers and 15 tools. It includes two blades, one large and one small, a corkscrew, a can opener, a small screwdriver (3mm that fits Philips screws), a cap lifter, a 6mm screwdriver, a wire stripper, a reamer punch, a key ring, tweezers, a toothpick, scissors, a multi-purpose hook and a wood saw.

Pant pant pant.

Yes, also paused on ‘wood saw’. I’m not entirely sure how long it would take you to escape from the confines of the prison that the evil general has locked you in while you were in the pursuit of buried Egyptian treasure, but at least you stand a fighting chance with this woodsaw. If they let you keep the penknife, obviously.

It’s a nifty Father’s Day present this one...

This invention is pure genius, if a little disturbing at first. In some houses, like my old one, the design means that if you get up in the night to visit the loo and turn the light on, then you end up waking the entire house. The light was at just the right (or wrong) angle so it shot straight into my daughter’s eyes and woke her up. This cheap and cheerful product may well keep some parents sane...

The LavNav turns on automatically when you approach it in the dark and turns off again after you leave. The light is gentle but bright enough to let you see what you’re doing. It uses either a red or a green light to show you the position of the seat, and it is energy efficient too.

It requires 2xAA batteries which are not provided in the deal.

This is also a fabulous idea for when little ones are taken to the toilet/potty in the night. Turning on any lights as you stagger to the bathroom weighed down with a toddler, is bound to wake one of you up almost completely. I am dead impressed with this idea and just had to share!
