Sonic Screwdriver remote control. €82

Prepare yourself for the upcoming 50th anniversary of Doctor Who with this sonic screwdriver. Modelled on the 10th Doctor's device – that's David Tenant, for non-fans – this isn't just a rather expensive shiny toy. It's a universal remote control. TVs, iPod docks, Bluray players … all can be controlled with a few gestures and a flick of your screwdriver. Up to 39 remote codes can be stored in the device, which should just about cover all your essential devices.

Plus, it’s got some great sound effects too.
