If you or your kids are obsessed with a certain bespectacled boy wizard, you’ll no-doubt already have magic wands lying about the house, not to mention broomsticks, owls, cloaks and assorted Harry Potter stuff.If on the other hand you are a long suffering wife or partner who’s never heard of Hogwarts, but is still tired of the largely male obsession of clutching the TV remote and dictating what you watch, you may be yearning for something that will confer a magical touch and restore control to you.

Despair not long suffering lady.  Gifts for her to realise that fantasy are at last here. The wand remote control is different to anything you may have waggled before.It has powers over the telly!In fact, it can control most things that require a remote control, allowing you to perform some pretty incredible magic spells without the need to spout gibberish.After you’ve learnt the basics you’ll be able to programme the wand to control volume, channel, brightness or whatever your remote can do.And it can do the same for several devices at once (yes, just like a woman it can multi channel process).

It’s not too shabby a choice for boys toys either, because a turning motion will control the volume and that’s all in the wrist – a familiar technique to most sofa-bound males.Just sweep the wand up or down to move the channel forward or back and double-tapping on any surface will perform whatever action you assign to the magic stick. In all there are 13 different and almost balletic swoosh’s, sweeps and swoops to learn.All you have to do is put your wand into ‘learning mode’ by giving it a quick tap on the shaft, perform the move you want, remembering to press the corresponding key on the remote control.The wand remembers and performs the same action next time you do the same move.

Shame that unusual gifts like these weren’t available at Westfield Shopping Centre in London over Christmas when Mariah Carey insisted on a wand to ‘wave’ (not switch) on the mall’s Christmas lights.After all, she’d got the OK for her other demands of 20 white kittens, 100 white doves, butterfly-shaped confetti, a pink carpet, 80 security guards and a Rolls Royce .Not even Hermione Granger seemingly deserves that indulgence!
