The ideal gift for the Top Gear fanatic in your life!
- Drive the actual Top Gear Test Track at Dunsfold Park
- Star in a Reasonably Priced Car
- Hot Lap with The Stig
Has your husband always thought he could beat the Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car? Does your dad fancy himself as the next Stig?
If they love the thought of burning rubber and getting behind the wheel of some very famous cars, then the Top Gear Track Experience – based at the home of the much-loved TV show – Dunsfold Park in Surrey, is the ideal Christmas gift for them. The Experiences includes:
· Trying to beat your favourite celebrity as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car (Matt LeBlanc currently holds the top celebrity time for a lap in the Kia Cee’d)
· Going for a Hot Lap with the terrifyingly fast racing-driver The Stig in a terrifyingly fast Bentley
· Being fired at by a tank and avoiding the caravans while Off-roading through a muddy assault course
· Getting behind the wheel of the Ariel Atom – with no roof, windscreen, or doors – and seeing if you can drive fast enough to get a free face lift at the same time
· There’s even an Off-road experience for drivers aged 11-17 years old, giving everyone the chance to join in the Top Gear fun this Christmas
Christmas Gift vouchers are available to buy now and include access to the Top Gear studio, where visitors can enjoy the Scalextric Top Geartrack, the famous Cool Wall and displays of cars featured on the show - as well as pretend to be a TV star by sitting in the presenters’ chairs. One additional adult and two children can attend the studio for free, so they can tell you if you really were about to take off on the famous ‘Follow Through’ corner.
Experiences voucher prices:

· Ariel Atom – £99

Get your Christmas stocking fillers from Standeazy!
Stocking fillers can be hard to find, research can become a bit of a chore when weu are looking for something ‘a bit different’ that doesn’t come with a heart stopping price tag. Yet the inexpensive choices can be somewhat limited or perhaps a bit dull.
That’s where Standeazy is a simple choice for every budget.
Phones, tablets and e-readers are probably on a lot of wish lists - so why not complement them with a stand that converts them into hands-free devices and fits in every wallet?
Designed to not only be practical when ‘in action’, it’s different because it is credit card sized and thus super slim, light weight and easy to carry anywhere.
Anyone owning a smartphone will know the abundance of applications from video chat to TV and movie streaming that benefit from hands-free use; let alone all those cooking apps (recipe holder), family apps (baby monitor, alarm clock, contraction counters), camera apps (with self timer and slow motion, time-lapse or other effects) and tutorial apps to name but a few.
And with these gadgets being not the cheapest, it’s needless to say that Standeazy also protects from bumping a device on a hard surface when wanting to lay it down, getting it covered in muck whilst cooking or mishandled by adventurous toddler fingers.
Standeazy comes in three different colours and two materials. Designed and manufactured in the UK, you can choose from the polymer version which holds smartphones and e-readers such as the kindle, or the aluminium laminate version (Standeazy Ultra) which also holds tablets.
Standeazy is a clever little accessory for your smartphone, and starting at £2.99 it will not break your bank!
To learn more about this British designed and made product please visit www.standeazy.com.

Can Barry convince her to help him? If they can't reach Father Christmas before the chimes of midnight, all will be lost. Christmas will be destroyed forever and the bedbug queen's plan will have succeeded!
Or will they succeed with the assistance of the mysterious Wordsmith and of Actavia, the young nun?
