Flying Santa Drone (€48 plus charges)

A drone with a difference for the Christmas season. This radio-controlled flying drone looks just like the man himself, although he comes with only four reindeer instead of the promised eight. That’s possibly down to the three sets of mini propellers, which allow four reindeer at a time to take some time off.

Flying gifts

The important thing is you have the man himself, one sleigh and the big sack of presents in the back. One to add to the Christmas Eve repertoire.
