Get
stuff'd.
It's
getting closer! In just a month's time the gift giving will commence
and you'll be out of time. Fortunately we're still pumping out the
present-buying inspiration, with four more random gift ideas for you
to consider. Aren't you lucky?
Sugru
Rebel Tech Kit
We
love Sugru here at The Test Pit. Since reviewing the self-curing
rubber product a few years back we've always kept a close watch on
the company's latest releases and crazy builds. Their newest is a
helpful and inspiring gift pack called the Rebel Tech Kit; a pack of
four Sugru sachets and a booklet crammed with ideas.
You
get red, white, black, and silver Sugru, and a Sugru removing pick.
The booklet shows all the ways the miracle stuff can be used around
your home, from child-proofing a camera, to making cable tidies,
hooks, and feet for your gadgets. As ever, using this stuff is a
tonne of fun, and having a packet or two around the house is great
for emergencies, be it for your gadgets, or even for patching holes
in your boots. A great introduction to Sugru, and a perfect gift for
tech fans and makers.

Karrimor
Wireless Heart Rate Monitor
For
the fitness fans you know, here's a nifty gift idea that comes
straight from the heart. Boom boom! This tiny monitor from Karrimore
is not much bigger than a watch face and comes with an adjustable
chest strap. It is designed to be discreetly worn under clothing
while exercising, connects wirelessly to a number of smartphone
running apps, and is also splash proof. So, y'know, good for sweaty
people.
The
fact that it is compatible with most of the popular sports apps (on
both iOS and Android) means it can be seamlessly fitted into your, or
your intended's, regular workout routine. Furthermore, it's light,
seems to sync well with all the apps we tried it on, and – good
news for you – cheap.

Michael
Phelps XCEED Goggles
Staying
on a fitness theme, how about something for someone who cares not a
jot about the wintry weather during their workouts? For swimmers, we
recommend the Michael Phelps XCEED Goggles and we're sure that they
will XCEED your expectations. Boom boom!
Michael
Phelps, Aqua Sphere, and Olympian Bob Bowman have all collaborated
together to make these goggs, using Aqua Sphere's specially curved
lenses to open up the swimmer's field of view to almost 180 degrees –
important for racers. But aside from that, they adjust to most adult
face sizes, are comfortable on, and do an excellent job of keeping
the wet stuff out of your eyes. Look pretty neat, too.

Toyrific
360 Degrees Remote Control Stunt Psycho
And
you thought this was shaping up to be quite a sensible Stocking
Fillers feature. Nah. Everyone needs constant ideas for kid gifts, or
just an idea for an adult you know who has – brilliantly – never
grown up. The Toyrific 360 Degrees Remote Control Stunt Psycho
is
such a gift, being a remote control car that does so much more than
simply drive around your living room carpet.
We
mean, come on... it's called a 'Psycho', which should tell you all
you really need to know. The simple controller means that kids can
flick from trick to trick, performing flips, rolls, and 360 spins.
Oh, and it can drive on water, too. No joke, this thing can float
because of those big wheels, and as it kicks up plenty of spray and
wetness, it will power along quite capably. Bags of mental fun.
