These Magical Flying Lantern are awesome. They're also called "Sky Laterns" and will add excitement to any Christmas party you have out doors.

You basically light them and they sore in to the sky for a couple of miles (apparently). They'll reach 1km straight up and they'll drift for a fair while.

They'll make a great gift for Christmas, that is, unless you live under the flight path of any major airport. Sometimes the planes from Liverpool airport fly overhead so I'll have to try them when flights are banned after 11pm.

You can get them from Night Sky Lanterns (Save 5% with the Night Sky Lanterns Voucher Code: LIGHTUPTHESKY - until the end of 2009), Play.com for just £3.99!!! And Boysstuff have them too for a bit more.
