Let's be honest. You don't get much for less than a tenner these days.

There are of course exceptions to that rule.

Boxes of Fab ice lollies from Iceland for one.

And your new bestest friend, Echo Bot, for two.

Echo Bot is a weird looking one eyed monster alien thingy with suction pads for feet. Those feet together with his three bendy legs mean you can put Echo Bot in a variety of unusual places with surprising ease.

And that's when the fun begins.

Echo Bot has a built in microphone in the back of his head. Press the record button and you can record any message you want, up to ten seconds in length. Or you can record something off your TV or computer.

Once you've recorded your message, put Echo Bot wherever you want and wait for the little fellow to see someone. As soon as someone triggers Echo Bot's motion sensor he will play your recorded message. And scare the living daylights out of your intended victim!

Does your horrible little brother insist on going into your room uninvited? Scare the little blighter away with a suitable "Get out of this room NOW!" message.

Someone trying to lose weight, but still making frequent trips to the biscuit cupboard? Hide Echo Bot inside and let him tell the weak-willed to "Back away from the biscuit tin Fatso!"

Honestly, you could have hours upon hours of fun with this little fellow. I'm thinking of placing a whole army of them all over my house to keep my family on their toes.

You can get your very own Echo Bot from Firebox for just £6.99.
