There are only so many books and DVDs available to fill birthdays, and just occasionally wouldn’t it be nice to be able to give something that little bit different than the latest edition of Cluedo, or the latest murder mystery game on the market?

We thought so - which is why, we have been searching for gifts for CSI fans, Agatha Christie wannabes and sleuths of all ages.

We’ve come up with these.

	Dead Write Firstly - how about this for a novelty pad? Does message taking kill you? Wouldn’t you rather leave a poison pen letter for your boss? Now you have the chance with “Dead write” a 300 page sticky pad complete with blood stained pen! When you’ve scribbled your hit list - you can even stab the pen back into the victim for a bit of catharsis.
	Crime Scene Scarf Create your own crime scene with this extra-long, extra cozy knit scarf. These make for great prizes at the end of a murder mystery evening! And they are sure to get you noticed on the street.
	Crime Scene Towel Your friend would certainly get the life guard’s attention on the beach this summer with a crime scene towel to mark their place in the sun! Made from 100% cotton, you’ll certainly know if any “body” steals your towel!
	Shot of seasoning These are nearly full size replicas, so there is plenty of seasoning to go around without needing to reload before you shoot salt and pepper at all of your guests. A fun addition to any table, we just loved these James Bond style guns.
	Dead Fred If the note block isn’t enough for your office then why not take out your frustration on “Dead Fred”. This funky red victim just loves to hold your pen while you aren’t around, and he doesn’t bleed over the carpet.
	Squashed Flat Then again - perhaps your murder mystery maniac friend is still engrossed in the latest books - in which case - “Dead Mark” might be just the ticket. Why not squash him into the next book you buy your friend for that little personal and slightly unusual extra gift.
	Splat Stan If they like a coffee while they read - perhaps they’d prefer this little chap. “Splat stan” - a great coaster, and a companion to any living space - this orange victim will keep your varnish stain free.
	Crime Scene Candy Crime Scene Candy - the ultimate in liquid edible treats for your CSI fanatic. Will they dare to test the samples - or not???
	Water Wars If you enjoy laser tag, but hate the idea of having to dress up like a space man and run around in the dark, firing lasers at people you barely know, then (strictly speaking) you do not enjoy laser tag. Luckily, there is an alternative...! Our kit contains two water pistols, and two vests - complete with printed targets which will turn red wherever they come in contact with water.
	Gift selection pack Can’t decide between them? Then why not purchase our popular gift selection pack which includes our top best sellers as well as some crime scene tape and handcuffs – to make a really memorable gift.
