Danny Wallace has been spending time in the Man Pod

Christmas shopping can be stressful at the best of times, but it's often made worse by retail-phobic partners dragging their nonchalant heels from shop to shop. Ladies, you have an alternative!

This Christmas, Sony Blu-ray is offering a well needed helping hand. In the bustling shopping area of London's Carnaby Street, there will be a number of Manpods – a man-crèche where you can unburden yourself from your other half, leaving you in charge of the credit card and able to conquer your shopping in peace and quiet.

Secure in his Manpod, he will be well looked after whilst you shop. He will be fed, watered and provided with the best in high definition home entertainment in the way of the latest Blu-ray blockbuster demonstrations, including Terminator Salvation and Angels & Demons. Genius.
