Lego.  The favourite toy of James May apparently and the curse of all parents who walk barefoot in the middle of the night to the bathroom.  It seems that there’s very little that Lego can’t mimic or improve (aside perhaps from PC and Xbox games like Lego Batman – truly stupendously dull!)   In the old days, you just tipped an entire box of the stuff onto the floor and made something out of the bits.What didn’t exactly match up to precise rendition was more than compensated for by childhood imagination.

Maybe it’s that kids today lack the imaginative powers of a simpler generation or maybe it’s more a case of there being so many more entertainment outlets for kids today.  Whatever the reason, lately Lego sets have been made to look exactly and only like something.  The toys you can build are only what you see on the box lid, which kind of negates the point of Lego really!let’s face it, if you are going to make a dedicated object from Lego, it may as well be useful.

Lego-based birthday gifts that are suitable for kids and adults alike come no better than the Lego Digital Camera. OK, that’s all it is or can ever be, but it’s a thing of practical beauty and could be incorporated into all your other Lego constructions!   With 3 megapixel detail and 4 x digital zoom, it’s a pretty competent snapper. It’s got a 1.5 inch LCD screen too  so you can have a look at what you’ve just shot and it will store up to 80 photos that you can transfer to your Computer via USB, just like a proper Digital Camera.

If you don’t want to waste this on your kids, then as unusual gifts go it’s quirky yet nostalgic enough to be happily accepted by almost any age. Of course, the technical specification isn’t quite the point of this trip down childhood’s memory lane.Even though it is supremely functional, nothing is cooler than whipping out a Lego camera at the wedding reception or on holiday.Just don’t ask a local to take your group photo for you.They may take one look and leg it with the Lego with eBay in mind!
