Christmas shopping guide: triple treat

Three fine high-street gadgets, for every budget:

To celebrate the shipment of its 100 millionth digital IXUS, Canon has released a limited edition, coloured version of the compact, the Canon IXUS 980 (pictured top). This tasty red snapper comes with 14.7 megapixels, Face and Motion Detection plus, for the first time, manual shutter speed. There are only 600 coming to the UK, so catch one while you can.

There's no circular saw or laser but, with a built-in miniature transponder the somewhat pricey Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX2 DBS (centre) can lock and unlock an Aston Martin DBS by pushing the crystal face. Eighteen-carat pink gold and brushed satin dials - reflecting Aston's design - make it the ultimate 007 accessory. But, before you cash in piggy banks, you'll have to buy a DBS first.

Finally, the speedy 1:12th scale battery-powered R/C Ducati Desmosedici (bottom) steers by the rider leaning from side to side, not turning the wheel. Stabilisers and gyro prevent falling over. But not crashing into ankles.
