Christmas gift guide: Great presents from £15 to £150

£100-£200

1. Laser Stars/Cosmos Projector, £130 from Paramount Zone Light pollution means that when you gaze up at the sky in one of our godforsaken cities the most you're likely to see is a street lamp above your head. If you bag yourself this laser star projector, however, you can beam the wonder of the night sky on to the ceiling of your humble abode.

2. Scalextric Digital Ignition, £125 from Scalextric
Let's face it, Scalextrics is a classic Christmas toy and this kit, which includes twin Nissan 350z race cars, is one the best in the company's catalogue. What's more, the digital technology used in the controllers mean that up to six cars can now race on the same lane, so you can change lanes at will to create nifty car chases. Top notch.

3. USB Drum Kit, £130 from Firebox
Tapping your fingers along to your favourite tunes is not going to turn you into John Bonham, but equally splashing out on a full drum kit is not going to go down too well with the neighbours. Hit a happy medium with this USB kit, which lets you bash away on while wearing headphones.

4. Wattson, £150 from Firebox
With all those gadgets your friends have accrued over the years they've probably got a carbon footprint bigger than a charcoal elephant. The Wattson can help them keep tabs on exactly how much power they're using at any one time. It retrieves electricity usage wirelessly from a sensor mounted on their meter and then glows aggressively if they're using so much juice they're about to annihilate another endangered species.
