Want to guarantee your kids will never again lose the remote, forcing you to race around the living room pulling at cushions to unearth the blasted thing before Bob the Builder plays for the 100th time? Buy them the Harry Potter wand that doubles as a universal remote.
Technically it’s the Kymera Magic Wand – J.K. Rowling hasn’t cast her magical money making spell on it yet. But the wand, created by none other than the Wand Company (hey, can you think of a better name?), is no chimera. It’s a universal remote made of genuine fake unicorn hair (gotcha). Flick it through the air, and you can change the channel, the volume or rewind your DVD.
Meant to work like any other universal remote, it will keep your kids in one spot while you make Christmas dinner. But we can’t guarantee they won’t fight over it. So get a few sent over from England, perhaps? The wand is selling for £49.95 from The Wand Company.
