Good thing

Pukka Pack, Free

The Pukka Pack, launched by the home furnishings shop Pukka Palace, is an entirely new approach to mail order. Instead of trawling through the usual glossy catalogue the size of a telephone directory, customers flick through a deck of cards organised in to "suits" such as wrought iron furniture, glassware, soft furnishings, and garden accessories. The pack is free and orders made on the special orderline number will be delivered free within the UK.

Mad thing

Hartz Friz Faces, pounds 1.99

Frankly, these pet toys look like flattened cats. On the plus side, they look like very happy flattened cats. Your dog can now play out any stray rubber Tom and Jerry fantasies without Tom having that frustrating ability to reinflate to normality after the cruelest of blows. Throws like a frisbee, squeaks like a kitten upon retrieval.

Available in good pet shops
