The Supermatch FlexiLighter is, in truth, little more than a well-designed gas lighter, but its bendy stalk does allow you to ignite wicks in awkward places. And unlike a match, it won't burn your fingers. Plenty of similar gadgetry is available, including torches, flasks, vehicle kits and travel clocks. A colourful version showing oversized ships and famous places. The Covent Garden spa is accepting orders until 1pm on December 23 for delivery by Christmas.
More expensive options involve Swedish massage, facials and lunch.
