Christmas gets earlier every year

I almost have to pinch myself writing this. Summer hasn't really started and yet today Hamleys have released their Christmas Toy predictions. I mean the kids haven't even broken up for their holidays yet!

Hamleys really is the king of the Toy Shops and so I feel compelled to sit up and listen when they speak - and they do have a cracking selection.

So if you really are against the sound of Jingle Bells in July (and who can blame you!) why not kick off your flip flops and get inspired for a birthday instead.

Here is my pick of their predictions:

• Dance With Me Teletubbies
• Dalek Voice Changer
• Leather Rubik Cube (its all about retro didn't you know)
• High School Musical Fashion Dolls
• Black and White Zebra
• Biscuit the Dog (thank goodness robots don't eat)
• Gnome Bowling

You heard it hear first - ho, ho, ho!
