The Amazing Spider-Man Rapid-Fire Web Shooter allows your kids to fire web missiles just like Spiderman.  This is really cool! The shooter attaches to your child’s wrist and is triggered with the middle two fingers, just like Spider-Man.

The Spiderman web blaster comes with instructions (thankfully) and five web missiles that can be loaded into the shooter and then shot from the wrist. Any boy is going to have hours of fun setting up targets and shooting them down just like Spider-Man, just tell his sister to get out of the way!

The Cratoni Whirly Helmet looks like it may be available in more than one colour, so the shocking pink you see here can be replaced with blue and orange or green and white or red and black. This is a relief as my daughter is not a fan of pink!

The helmet usually costs £22.99 and is lightweight and comes in two different sizes. It has six cooling vents, quick size adjustment, insect protective netting, a mounted safety light and looks fab. It’s a perfect, low cost buy for a high quality helmet.

• Click here for the Razor Powerwing from Argos*

I have to be honest with you, I’ve never even heard of these things but seeing them for sale at half price and watching the video clip on the Argos website I was sold. It’s so cool and really innovative, you don’t even have to get off and push like you would a normal scooter or skateboard. As you move the back piece that you stand on from side to side it propels the Powerwing forward, awesome.

If your kids are ahead of me and are already asking for one of these for Christmas at least you now know where to get one at half price (and I’ve learnt something new). They’ll be the envy of their friends on this fantastic Razor Powerwing scooter. Just move your body from side to side and the three wheeled design gets you going and keeps you moving. Love it!

I've actually got a small trampoline from TP Toys in our back garden. To my mind, I always associate the retailer with trampolines and climbing frames. Which is exactly the problem that TP Toys are having. Because they're more than that - they do a whole range of outdoor toys. And if you're looking for a special gift this Christmas that all the kids can enjoy then something like a football goal, sandpit or basketball hoop may be just what you're after.

We received their Super Goal with Trainer to review. Read on to find out how one middle aged mummy and two 7 year old boys got on.
