Keeping all those digital memories safe – the easy way – with WD’s My Cloud review
Have you seen the brilliant My Cloud drive from WD? It’s a whopping 3TB of your very own personal storage cloud, and may well be the ultimate gift for your family this coming year. Do you worry a bit about the infamous ‘cloud’? I do actually understand the principle… but things just feel safer where I can see them, and control who gets to them.

The Very Best Headset for Teen Gamers – under £65 for Hyper X Cloud II #ChristmasGiftGuide
The importance of a gaming headset should never be underestimated by any parent of a teen gamer. Really, no – their iPod headphones will not ‘do’. And when you’re the one spending out, you want to be sure you’re getting one of the good ones, obviously – and this is not necessarily down to budget.

New Competition – Win an older kids Street Scooter from Slick Willies
Slick Willies. I admit it – when the email landed in my inbox I thought it was probably from the seriously dodgy end of my email spectrum, and nearly didn’t bother reading it at all. Mr LittleStuff might have tutted and sighed at me when I told him this. Apparently I’m a fool.
