Remember the amazing sticky labels you could put on 3.5" floppies? Especially when you overwrote the same disc twenty times and ended up with a slightly wider floppy than would actually fit into the drive, because there were so many labels on it?

Well, now you can relive those days. These are slightly thicker, but no less wonderful reminders of the glory days of "disk read error". They come in five colours, and only cost a paltry £4.41 including postage. I should know, I just bought some myself.

parrot-1120.jpgParrot has been a busy little company, working hard in the aviary on several different products to launch at CES 2008. Amongst them are wireless stereo speakers, the DS1120, plus a DS3120 stereo.

The first product works by streaming music via Bluetooth from the source, however if it doesn't have stereo Bluetooth, a Bluetooth USB dongle and line-in RCA jack is also included. The DS1120 will sell for around £140 in the UK when it launches mid year.

Next up for keen ornithologists, the DS3120 stereo also plays music wirelessly, but contains a 1.8" screen, SD card slot, line-in plus FM/RDS radio. The nifty thing here is that when you stream from a mobile, the device can display phone contacts information when making and receiving a call when in proximity, plus can play voice calls. Displaying even more of its clever intuition, when receiving a call, the music is automatically muted, and the contact's image can be displayed on screen as well. This one will drop for about £125 apparently.

Christmas is fast approaching, and every day until the Big Overeating Day, we're going to feature a top five list of products you may be thinking of buying those you're obligated to provide for. Ahh, it's a wonderful thing, this Christmas malarky.

Today...laptops! Specifically, the best laptops money can buy in time for the 25th of December.

1.) HP Pavilion dv2600 Special Entertainment notebook - it may be a mouthful by name, but by size and weight, this 14.1", 2.4kg laptop is slim and streamlined in its chocolate aesthetics. It's got a Core 2 Duo processor, 2048MB of RAM, 160GB hard drive and a bunch of other features, for just £999. Worth every penny, if you ask me.
