<p>If you however daydream about the kinds of amazing presence you could buy if you won it big on the lottery you may be interested to read through this list from retailer <a href="http://www.firebox.com/" target="_blank">Firebox</a>, as it presents What The Firebox?! <a href="http://www.firebox.com/top-10/wtf" target="_blank">Top 10 WTF?!</a> An amazing selection of gifts aimed directly at the mega-rich</p>
<p>Curated by Firebox from its super high-end WTF?! range, this Top 10 gob-smacking list is the defining wish list of what to ask for this Christmas if money was no object.</p>
<p>Ben Fowler, WTF?! Curator at Firebox, said:<em><strong> “Firebox is well known for its crazy, fun and entertaining gifts and gadgets but we wanted to bring attention to our most ridiculous, fantastical products that would make your eyes pop. Earlier this year we launched the WTF?! range – a range of Firebox products but gonzo. More insane, more quirky, more expensive and more unique, they will make you to cry out WTF?! If I were rich and famous these are the kind of products I’d want for Christmas – they’re amazing, astounding and brilliant fun.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Surveying Firebox’s Facebook Fans it was discovered that if money was no object its customers would opt for an island, world peace or never ending happiness. But perhaps they’ll settle for one of these instead?</p>
<p><strong>#1 DeLorean DMCEV &#8211; 70,000 GBP</strong><br />
What do you mean we’re going Back to the Future? The DeLorean, made famous in “that” movie is back and this time it’s electric. Retaining the unique gull-wing design and silver exterior, the word ‘iconic’ doesn’t even do it justice.</p>
<p><strong>#2 Triumph Bonneville Steve McQueen Edition – 7,700 GBP</strong><br />
Based on the classic T100 and inspired by the Trophy TR6 McQueen rode during the stunt scene from The Great Escape, the Triumph Bonneville T100 is limited to just 1,100 bikes, and features a super cool matt khaki green paint job and the late actor&#8217;s signature on the side covers – it also arrives individually numbered, with a plaque on the handlebar clamp and a certificate of authenticity. Now that’s cool!</p>
<p><strong>#3 Project Utopia &#8211; 100m+ GBP</strong><br />
You want a man-made island-like cruise liner? Done. How about one that is almost identical to Stromberg’s Atlantis hideout in the classic Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me? Done. Spanning eleven decks yet still coming with full climate control, this is an architectural maritime masterpiece.</p>
<p><strong>#4 Caran D’Ache 1010 Diamonds Fountain Pen &#8211; 850,000 GBP</strong><br />
In white gold with more than 850 exceptionally pure diamonds (totalling approximately 24.61 carats) this dazzling writing instrument brings together the Swiss expertise of leading jewellers, goldsmiths and master craftsmen and is in fact the world’s most expensive pen, ever. This Pen is certainly mightier than the sword.</p>
<p><strong>#5 Blue Forest Tree House &#8211; from 20,000 GBP</strong><br />
If you want a tree house then why not go all out – Blue Forest will design amazing houses ranging from fantasy to functional just for you, high up in the canopy of your trees. Or, in your office; wherever you like really.</p>
<p><strong>#6 One Degree of Turntable &#8211; 100,000 GBP</strong><br />
It’s gold, it’s beautiful, it’s a record turntable and it is for the biggest audiophiles of audiophiles. NASA engineers designed it, Firebox loves it.</p>
<p><strong>#7 F5 Custom Luxury Golf Cart &#8211; 20,500 GBP</strong><br />
For the seasoned golfer, looking the part is as important as the playing handicap. You drove a Ferrari to the club, you wanna drive a Ferrari in ‘da club too. Behold the F5 Italian Sports Car Custom Golf Cart. Complete with headlights, turn signals, electric horn and 15” wheel rims this awe inspiring luxury vehicle looks every bit the real deal, albeit in miniature form. And with a top speed of almost 20mph, it is sure to burn off every other cart on the course.</p>
<p><strong>#8 Agility Saietta R Bike &#8211; 13,750 GBP</strong><br />
Designed for urban living, the Agility Saietta R Bike combines powerful performance with Hollywood looks. As the specs show, this isn’t simply an exercise in style. Thanks to the Saietta R’s electric motor, the engineers have stripped out all of the bulk that once dictated how a bike should look – letting the design evolve beyond the traditional petrol-driven motorbike shape.</p>
<p>#9 JetLev Flyer &#8211; 115,000 GBP<br />
Messing about on the water is great fun, but jetting about above the water is like, totally awesome, especially when you’re strapped to the jaw-droppingly impressive JetLev Flyer. The result of years of painstaking R&amp;D, the precision-made design allows you to achieve stable, controlled flight as you soar 10 metres above the water at speeds of up to 30 mph.</p>
<p><strong>#10 Marchi Mobile EleMMent RV &#8211; 1.9 Million GBP</strong><br />
Littlest Hobo syndrome? The EleMMent RV has its own roof terrace, expanding living space, a rainfall shower and of course a bar. This really is a mansion on wheels.</p>
<p>And, if all this looks a bit pricey for you, Firebox has created a budget Top 10 stocking filler gift list for those with smaller purses than the average billionnaire.</p>

<p>Located in Central London, the Capio Nightingale  Hospital has a service for children as young as 12 whose parents are concerned that they spend too much time with their gadgets.  Capio is well known as the location at which Amy Winehouse was hospitalized for drug addiction.</p>
<p>The service aims to help wean young preteens off their gadgets under supervision in residential units and replace them with lessons that will help them develop social skills.</p>
<p>Leader of the new treatment for addiction, Dr. Richard Graham, stated that the rehab program will need to quickly help young people who face addiction to technology instead of following the models that are set for substance abuse.</p>
<p>Graham explained that mental health services need to look at the new world that young people now face and how much their lives can be severely impaired by too much time online or on games.  He stated that some of the existing programs do not look at how complex the addictions really are instead attempting to emulate the models set by substance abuse which is not practical.</p>
<p>He said that the treatment will look at how to help a person respond better with face to face situations sand to rethink their relationship with certain gadgets and the role they may play in their lives so that they can see that it is ok to switch them off at times and go out in the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img border="0" align="middle" width="395" src="http://www.deviltronics.com/images/rc_vamp.jpg" alt="I-fly RC Vamp" height="395" /></p>
<p>The world of RC toys just got that much more superior with this RC I-fly Vamp. Although there have been other radio controlled toys with flapping wings this bat version is in a league of its own, especially when it comes down to controllability with speed. The RC Vamp has been gifted with some of the latest technology to allow it to make super sharp turns and even glide with ease, therefore making it perfect for flying around the house or in your back garden (weather permitting).</p>
<p>To make this little RC toy a little more evil looking, the I-fly Vamp comes with some LED eyes that glow bright red, just the thing if you’re the kind who wants to scare the neighbourhood! It is constructed from ultra tough lightweight materials so it will withstand the usual rough landings and the odd crash, however if you do end up breaking the wings, wisely a spare set are included.</p>
<p>The RC Vamp is ready to fly straight out the box, of course once charged. The charging takes about 30 minutes, all done by plugging into the transmitter, which in turn provides about 10 minutes of frantic flying time. With a range of up to 100 feet this has to be one of the best RC flying Ornithoptor (robot bird) around.</p>
