1. The Book of General Ignorance – £4.55

Books always make great Christmas presents. Especially non fiction books. There is nothing better than relaxing with a good factual but fun book after the Christmas Dinner. One of the top books last year was The Book of General Ignorance. “The Book of General Ignorance is a comprehensive and humiliating catalogue of all the misconceptions, mistakes and misunderstandings in ‘common knowledge’, which will make you wonder why anyone ever bothers to go to school. If you still think that Henry VIII had six wives, that the earth has only one moon, and that Mount Everest is the world’s tallest mountain, then you need this book. Urgently.” The book has proven to be so popular that there is now a second book out. Find it here at Amazon.

2. Addictaball – £6.99 or £9.99

Men like puzzles. Fact. Well most do. That’s why we believe that the Addictaball, the hand held marble maze of a puzzle is the perfect gift for guys this year. Whilst the puzzle may look all colourful and cheery, it takes serious hand-eye co-ordination to steer your ball through Addictaball’s handily numbered sections (138 sections for the large, 100 for the small). Customer reviews are positive on the whole and include statements such as “Excellent idea! My son can do nearly all of these kind of puzzles but I hope to of found one that will drive him bonkers this year.” Also, this gift is a great idea for people of all ages. You can buy either the smalll ball (£6.99 and 13cm in diameter) or the large ball (£9.99 19cm in diameter).
