Want to climb a tree with ease? Put on these "Ninja Hand Claws" (shuko) and "Ninja Foot Spikes" and go to town (see video). Of course, you first need to be in shape. Also, f*ck that tree.

Tree-shaped ornaments each made of different woods
These bespoke tree-shaped ornaments by Forge Creative might look great hanging from a tree, but they would also be right at home on a mantlepiece or in a curio cabinet.
Quoth Forge:
These collectible tree ornaments are hand-turned on a lathe and each tree is unique. We use off-cuts form a wide variety of woods and turn a them into different shaped trees. This way each one ends up with its own unique character. These look great as a small collection on a mantlepiece. We will pick trees at random and If you buy more than one we try to send a mix of different wood types and shapes. If you wish to choose a specific wood or colour, let us know and we will see what we can do.
They have 35 shapes to choose from and all kinds of wood.
