This is fun. The monster isn't under your bed... the monster is your bed. If you are a child who loves dinosaurs and doesn't get terrified by the thought of sleeping in the jaws of a tyrannosaurus rex, this would be the most amazing bed in the world.

In a way, it's just a take on the classic four-poster bed with awnings, except with fangs instead of the four poster bits.

Full marks for creative parenting here.

While we're on home-made beds - honourable mention to this Star Wars creation below as found on click4beds. That's some serious skillz with MDF on display.

If you're short on last-minute gadget presents for Father's Day, forget the idea of getting him a nice pair of speakers and make up for your tardiness by getting Dad not just one gadget but a giant wall of them. We're talking about the Man Wall from Hybrid Space Furniture.

Not so long ago a house that came with touch sensitive lights was dubbed the epitome of cool by my friends. Look- no switches! A simple touch could dim the light, and provide you with around ten minutes of novelty fun. Well this tech could take s serious backseat to the gesture sensitive lights from Mathmos.

The Dorset designers have done it again, and created a selection of stunning lights to look at, that combine innovation withe design. The Airswitch light works using a special sensor embedded in the device which determines where your hand is in relation to the light, and then will brighten or dim accordingly.

I'm lucky enough that when there are transport issues/ I have an evil hangover I have a job that means I'm able to work from home. There's something uber special about working in your PJ's with your laptop on your knees, but were I to invest in an OfficePOD I might have to don a suit to feel comfortable. The Office POD brings a whole new meaning to the idea of remote working as it comprises a rather sleek workspace in an all inclusive capsule. It's not actually available to buy- these pods are designed to be rented by employers as a cheaper alternative to office space.

Imagine screen pixels. Now imagine those pixels in 3D form. And now imagine taking those 3D pixels to create your own table or desk in a style akin to those plastic cubes you used in primary school to assist with your maths. The concept Pixel table gives a whole new meaning to four sided furniture. Not only does it redefine the world of the bland and boring table, but it requires you to get in touch with your creative side to create your tabletop masterpiece.

You come home from work, throw your coat across the banister and settle down for some Hollyoaks, till your housemate shouts at you that your coat has fallen on the floor. Sigh. This necessitates you getting up, re-hanging your coat and losing your comfortable sofa spot. Why not hang up your stuff geek style with these cute i robot wall hangers? Not only will they add some serious geek chic to your room, but they have flexible arms which means they'll hold even the biggest of bags comfortably.

Twittery type accessories may be all the rage right now, but necklaces come and go whilst a boudoir is forever. I love the decadent detailing on this stylish bird lamp, as it evokes images of the Roaring Twenties with a bit of burlesque glamour thrown in for fun.

Some people can't bear to be away from their beloved guitar strumming games for too long, otherwise in comes the withdrawal symptom shakes and the foaming at the mouth. So how do you alleviate this clearly problematic dilemma? You could get the Guitar Hero Carabiner, or purchase the Air Guitar Rocker to help you overcome your fix on the move. You could even make Guitar Hero cupcakes.

But perhaps you're on the lookout for something less about doing and more about appreciating. You can totally do that with the Mini Fender Guitar USB Lamp. Simply plug your novelty lamp into your computer and start appreciating the light in all its guitar shaped glory. And if it's not guitars, surely it's your penchant for tacky novelty lamps that has you contemplating the purchase, right?

With the insane popularity of Stephen Fry on the internet, it's surely time that Jeeves and Wooster saw a revival. These hats are in fact called Jeeves (the bowler hat) and Wooster (the top hat) so perhaps it could start there.

I'm not entirely sold on which room these would be most appropriate for, but that's probably because I never have and in all likelihood will never have a manservant. More's the pity. They're aware of that though, as for £220 per hat, they've priced non-manservant people out of the market.

I like to read. A LOT. Hence my predilection for eBooks and all sorts of reading associated gadgetry. OK, this device is probably not eBook friendly, but how cool is it? A lamp with a handy ledge for keeping the place in your book, with no need to tear out strips from magazines as a makeshift bookmark.

And before you suggest bending a corner as an alternative- the amount of vitriol I'll spill onto someone who does that really isn't worth the hassle. Sadly this is only in concept stage, but please, please can someone create a working model- I mean it can't be that hard surely?

These are just the most wonderful idea. They're actually oil lamps, so aren't the most high tech of lighting solutions (unless you're looking at it from a Tudor perspective) but they're too pretty to resist. Each lamp has a stainless steel shape fixed to it, and when you light the lamp, the flicker makes the shadow move. And obviously the further you move the lamp from the wall, the larger the shadow.

The lamp will last you 17 hours and is a clean, odourless fuel. And you can get fuel cell refills, which, for $47 a lamp, you're going to want.

Being a Trekkie when growing up was almost akin to being the loser in the class, and telling someone you're a fan of Trek often resulted in mixed responses, ranging from shock to disappointment. So, are you one of those people who went through their entire school career concealing your true Trekkie status? Well, if you're finally over the fear of being ridiculed for being a lover of all things Trek, have a gander at this.

At first glance there's nothing amazingly techy about these lights. They're rather retro looking and I know a couple of people who would love to have them adorning their walls. Then you take a second look and realise these boudoir-licious lights are aimed at children. Quite apart from the choking potential caused by dangly bits dropping off, I'm not sure if this decor would really swing with the Bratz loving tweens of today. It's sweet that they can be used as nightlights though, and for kids with Victorian fancies (and equivalent blue blood bank balances) they'd be perfect.

A few years ago, the photographic industry was in a state of panic because everyone stopped printing their photos out. Then social networking arrived, and everyone calmed down, since everyone started sharing their photos online. But now the panic is back! Because sharing online is not enough! What about the other times? The times you're not on the internet? What then!?

Calm it, photography industry, for digital photo frames will save the day. You can now fit up to 500 images on a Sony S-Frame, and the frames themselves are really nice looking. When you do hand over the gift on Christmas Day, make sure you tell them that a Sony survey revealed that photos of family was the most popular thing to be saved from a burning building. That'll really cheer them up.

I think there was definitely drugs involved, perhaps some alcohol, fused together because someone thought it'd be a good idea to create a cerazy mind bending cocktail. Whatever narcotics the designer(s) of this timepiece were on, it made them do something crazy. I'm finding it quite difficult to ascertain quite what they were going for. It's basically a vibrantly coloured tube, a glorified pipe on a stand. But apparently it tells the time. I don't know about you, but there's just something about a colour coded clock (each pair of coloured bands relates to hours, minutes and seconds) that doesn't excite me very much.

So if you enjoy a challenge, a bit of a conundrum and you have at least ten minutes to spare every time you want to know the time, then you my friend, are a better person than me.

I'm not sure the manufacturers of this product have done their Venn diagram. Is there really a cross over between those people who find the sight of a tissue so offensive that they need to cover it and Star Wars fans? And if so, is there then a decent subsection of that population that will pay $38 for a Star Wars tissue cover?

What am I talking about? It's Star Wars. Of course there is. And if there isn't, there is at least a decent population of people mystified as to what to buy for their Star Wars-loving relation. Good work, manufacturers.

Pre-order (yes. PRE-order) yours here.

When I was a kid, I received a lot of those make-your-own dinosaurs made of bolsar wood, the ones where you had to slot the skeleton together. I don't know why - I wasn't particularly into dinosaurs, or wood, or skeletons. This, however. This would make the seven year old me hyperventilate with excitement.

Each dinosaur lamp takes about 40 minutes to construct, using the supplied pre-cut plastic sheets and your own instruction following abilities. You can choose between a T-Rex, Diplodocus and a Triceratops, with the T-Rex obviously being the awesomest.

Man, kids today are so lucky.

As well being far too small for the average arse, this cushion/seat thingo vibrates. Which explains why this woman is looking so amused - she clearly started over one side of the room and has been vibrated across the wooden floor to her current position. Sadly, what she hasn't realised is that there's an open window right behind her.

You can also use these as a foot rest or calf massager, which is probably a more comfortable and less dangerous use for it. And for a mere $26, why not?

More naughty toys? No? How about some home furnishings?

Digital photo frames... will they ever be exciting enough to top your must have list? Probably not. But manufacturers will try and bring something new to the table in an attempt to get noticed. The 8-inch iGala is a classic example of such behaviour. As well as displaying your favourite snaps in succession via some kind of fading, special effects sequence, the iGala comes with added WiFi functionality. This means Gmail, news, traffic and weather information and Flickr are just a touch away... literally - it's touchscreen.
