Magis Garcon shopping trolley

Think shopping trollies are strictly for the old folk? Magis thinks differently - and hopes its Garcon shopping trolley will convert you to its cause.

Designed by Raul Barbieri, the trolley was actually designed back in 1992 but has come more to the fore in 2008 with the backlash against plastic bags in full effect. For your money you get an anodised aluminium frame that houses a black waterproof nylon bag - the whole thing collapsing when you don't need it to about half the original size.

Available now and priced at £177.

If you're not happy with those freebie iPod earphones, you could replace them with some serious ear bling - the Atomic Floyd gold and titanium headphones.

So aside from that mix of titanium and 24 carat gold, you'll also find a 'Twist2Fit' system for a flush fit, an Acoustic Steel chamber to maximise the volume and clarity. and certified acoustics, putting the Atomic Floyd up there with the likes of Bose, Sennheiser and Bang & Olufsen.

Look out for them from December 1st, priced between £80 and £120.

Pure Avanti Flow audio system

It might have a slightly retro design, but the inner workings of the Pure Avanti Flow audio system are very 2008.

It produces plenty of noise from a 5.25-inch downward firing subwoofer and 2 x 3-inch mid range drive units, while the quality of sound is enhanced by Pure's Clearsound technology. Take your pick from iPod playback, as well as FM radio, DAB and internet radio, the latter using Pure's Lounge portal for organising and browsing stations as well as offering access to the various 'listen again' shows, podcasts and some 'mood' sounds, should you just want background.

Sold in a piano black casing, the Avanti Flow is available from December for £279.99.

David Mellor Design limited edition nine-light candelabra

If you're on the look out for a centre piece for a room, nothing makes a bigger impression than the David Mellor Design limited edition nine-light candelabra.

Limited to just six of either a floor or table standing design, the candelabra is based on the Advent Wreath in Sheffield Cathedral, produced by Mellor back in 2007. Admittedly this version is smaller, but it is still as intricate, with 32 slim vertical steel bars, eight candleholders positioned around the structure and the one raised central holder.

The workmanship is impressive, with 380 handmade components and a solid matt black granite base complete with engraving for support. But all that comes at a cost - £9,500 for the table candelabra and £10,500 for the floor version.
