One of the great things about the festive season is gadget joy, when you get a pointless gadget that you really, really want. My gadget joy this year comes from a Starck Weather Station:

It tells the time, the air pressure, the current moon phase, the temperature and the humidity, and thanks to the included remote sensor unit I can bore my wife senseless by telling her not just that it’s cold, but the precise level of coldness in this room and whether it’s warmer in the living room. Hurrah for pointless gadget joy!
