Ultra Stomp Rocket
I got one of these as a gift earlier in the year and they are great fun to play with down the park, the Stomp Rocket
Stomp® on the Launch Pad and a blast of air propels the Stomp Rocket® over 200 feet in the air! The kit contains 4 rockets with the OG-1 Nosecone. The Ultra is designed for ages 8 and up.
Cost : $10.75
LED Umbrella
Umbrellas are normally boring, but when the shaft looks like a light sabre then they are pretty cool, here is the LED Umbrella.
Even if you don’t live in a quasi-futuristic Los Angeles, and aren’t a Blade Runner, you can still have the coolest umbrella on the street. With a push of a button, the shaft lights up, illuminating you and your path. Now, even in the darkest of nights, you’re a lot more visible to the cars on the street, making your long walk home through the rain a lot safer.
Cost : $24.99
Grill Alert Talking Remote Meat Thermometer
Enjoy carefree cooking with our wireless remote cooking thermometer.
Grilling on the BBQ is a great way to entertain. Constantly standing next to the grill, however, is not. Now you can have the freedom to mingle with our remote meat thermometer for BBQ. A voice prompt alerts you when your entrée is “Almost Ready” and “Ready.” It’s one of the hottest BBQ gifts you can give!
Cost : $75

It might be fun spying but if you want permanent evidence you’ll need some Picture Taking Binoculars.
