Bean Bags!!  Didn’t they die out in the 80s?  Well, no they didn’t.  In fact, bean bags are making something of a comeback.  And, one of the reason they’re having a bit of a renaissance – in my view – is because of the absolute legions of today’s youth that lie prostrate in front of a games console - (am I sounding cynical enough yet?).

But seriously, bean bags now come in more shapes and sizes that was ever considered imaginable.  In my day, there was one style – large blob thing that however much you tried, you always ended up looking at the ceiling while sitting on it.  Now, you can choose from bean bag chairs, maternity bean bags, sofa bed bean bags, cube bean bags, giant bean bags, leather bean bags, suede bean bags.  You name it and it’s been ‘bean bagged;!!

Aside from the rather more typical style of bean bag, what is now very popular is the ‘Gaming Chair’ (Bean Bag).  They include the upright back style that you’ve probably seen in PC World or Comet, but they are still essentially bean bags.  They actually make great presents if you’re going to become proud new owners of a PS3, XBox or Wii this Christmas.

So, save your back and check out this great range from Bean Bag Bazaar who are, incidentally, having a half price Christmas sale right now.

Bean Bag Bazaar also has a 3% off discount code available until December 15  – click here.

The Wii Fit is literally flying off the shelves.  And it’s flying off the virtual shelves too.  Latest statistics show that 16% of all searches this Christmas have been for the Wii Fit.  As we have already said it’s been in short supply in the latter half of 2008, but fortunately the supply has been pretty this festive season.

As a result, this has forced the prices down rather than up as we saw in recent years with the Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii itself last Christmas.

Here are the latest best prices on Nintendo Wii Fit bundles:

• Wii Fit – BUNDLE 1 – Wii Fit + Rechargeable Battery Pack = £109.79
• Wii Fit – MEGA BUNDLE – Wii Fit + Travel Bag + Silicon Cover + Rechargeable Battery = £119.79
• Wii Fit COMPLETE – Wii Fit + Rechargeable Battery Pack + Protective Cover + Yoga Mat + Travel Bag + Yoga Kit = £134.79
• Nintendo Wii Console (Sports Pack) + Wii Fit + Travel Bag + Protective Cover = £279.79
