Billy got one of these remote control UFO’s from his grannie a few weeks back. When I saw it in its box my immediate thought was that it would never work.

How wrong was I.

This is the toy I always wanted as a kid. It really flies – AND you can control it. OK it takes a bit of getting used to, the initial tendency is to ram it into the ceiling and then ram it into the carpet, but soon you will be hovering like a pro and crying like a girl when the batteries run out. The good news is that with about 5 minutes of charging it’s ready to fly again. As you can see, Billy has hardly had a look in!

If the man in your life doesn’t get one of these for Christmas then you don’t love them.
