As we leave Halloween behind and brace ourselves for Christmas, get some gift inspirations from these novelty gadgets, before you find yourself getting caught up in the mad dash of December shopping. From furry to techy to cute, these gadgets will make for some great gift ideas. Have a gander at some of these gizmos to get you prepared for the festivities.

Chewbacca Headphones

Anyone who’s ever tried to wield the Force, will recognise these snazzy headphones, as they are designed in tribute to the furriest co-pilot in the galaxy. An ideal gift for the colder weather, these furry headphones are respectable for any Wookie. Adjustable for any head size, they are compatible with MP3 players, iPhones and iPods. Both practical and, of course, fashionable, they have the benefit of being stylish winter wear, and are a must-have for any Star Wars fan. Embrace your inner-Wookie with this officially-licensed Star Wars merchandise, available at just £17.99.

Bluetooth Laser Keyboard

Finding keyboards too clunky? Or constantly fiddling with the tiny buttons on your mobile phone as you try to send a text? A pocket-sized keyboard is the gizmo for you! One that is easily portable and looks like technology straight out of a sci-fi movie.

The Bluetooth Laser Keyboard is, well, exactly what it sounds like; a laser-projected keyboard that works on any surface. Connect it to your device via Bluetooth and type away – the keyboard will be projected onto a flat surface, ready for you to type like a regular keyboard. The keys will even make a noise when you type. You can also connect the Laser Keyboard via USB and it is compatible with iOS and Android devices. Available at £49.99.

Robo Chameleon

If you’ve got kids adding ‘puppy’ or ‘kitten’ to their Christmas lists, then you know all about the pressures of pleasing everyone this time of year. For those looking for something a bit different in the countdown to the big day, check out this long-tongued little guy.

The Robo Chameleon is not only adorable, but also more techno-logically-advanced than the typical lizard. With its LED lights helping it to change colour, rolling eyes and an extendable tongue, it’s almost like watching the Robo Chameleon come to life. The quirky tongue can be used to collect the little magnetic food disks that come with the Chameleon.

Have fun using the remote control to steer him around the house and introduce him to visitors as the new family pet (who fortunately does not need anyone to clean its litter tray). For something a little more out the box, bring this little guy home in time for the holidays. Available at £39.99.
