It’s time to revive an old craze with this ultimate symbol of bouncebackability.

It’s time to revive an old craze with this ultimate symbol of bouncebackability.

This silver yo-yo measures 58mm in diameter and costs £15 – peanuts for the keen yo-yo fan who might expect to part with more than £50 for a top-of-the-range spinner. What’s more, its ability to bounce back again and again is a cheering metaphor for any entrepreneur in these difficult times.

Once you’ve mastered simple tricks like the Sleeper, you’ll be able to progress through more complex manoeuvres such as Rock the Baby, Cold Fusion and Kamikaze. You may even be able to organise your own office yo-yo showdown.

Make no mistake, this is no playground toy but a sleek and sophisticated executive plaything. Or, being silver, a really left-field 25th wedding anniversary present.
