1. Nespresso Inissia Coffee Machine by Magimix, £72

Mouth-watering: Perfect cuppas every time with the Nespresso Inissia Coffee Machine by Magimix

What’s better than a coffee machine that gives you perfect creamy espresso every time? A coffee machine that looks like a robot from a 1970s sci-fi movie, that’s what.

This compact machine in striking ‘Summer Sun’ shade makes a statement in any kitchen – and a change from the prevailing black or white of most caffeine contraptions.

The Nespresso system is simplicity itself: 19 bar of pressure pushes the water through the coffee capsules at exactly the right temperature – without any mess, producing an espresso that beats other home coffee machines with far mightier price tags.

2. Monteverde 1 Touch Stylus Ballpoint Tool Pen, £19.21

Multi-tasking: The Monteverde 1 Touch Stylus Ballpoint Tool Pen is the Swiss Army knife of gadgets

Oh and it’s also a pen – perfect for the DIY enthusiast, never before have so many tools been tucked behind one ear.

The Zepp app can then give you a 3D replay of your swing, offering pointers where you can make key improvements to your game, making your swing more efficient and powerful – it’s like having your very own golf or tennis pro at your beck and call.

The onboard flash memory can hold up to 2000 swings.

Adventure dads, hold tight, it's going to be one hell of a ride.

This intro to skydiving class is for anyone that wants to experience the unique sensation of freefalling without jumping from a plane.

The 120 mph wind tunnel easily supports human weight and the falling feeling is a total adrenaline rush.

The session begins with a safety briefing and then each person is issued a specialist flight suit in preparation for the flight. Once kitted out, step into the wind tunnel with the instructor and get lifted into the air for two thrilling 60 second sessions of body flying each.
