Bought this for my 9 year old after he got fascinated by a gyroscope at the science museum. He had it spinning within a minute and then switched the lights off in the hall so he could watch the glow. Honestly it does look like a tiny UFO hovering about. He’s now trying to balance it on a pencil tip and making me time how long it lasts. Best fiver-a-day-pocket-money purchase I’ve made in ages.

got this for my grandson’s birthday. His little face lit up, just like the top did! Spot on.

Third thing I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good ‘un. The colours blend really nicely when it’s spinning fast, and it’s a lot sturdier than I expected for the price. Only niggle is the spin time could be a touch longer, but my lot still keep fighting over it.

Bought this for my grandson Alfie, who’s seven, and he hasn’t put it down since the postie dropped it off. He keeps dimming the lights in the lounge so he can watch it glow, and he’s already roped his sister into a spinning contest. Cracking little gift, worth every penny.

spot on. Looks just like a tiny UFO when it spins in a dark room.
