Anyone know where I might get a really snazzy yoyo? One like a professional yoyo-er would yoyo with.

www.yoyoshop.co.uk/products/Henrys/Henrys_Coral_Snake.html these are VERY nice. The shop have others that are also nice but not quite as nice as this one.

I have a couple of Henrys Diabolos and they spin nicely. Henrys build quality is generally very high.

no, but I knew people who were. I just played about with diablolo, my real passion is unicycles.

My Yoyos are only "cosmos " brand clutch Yoyo's Nothing very special. Henrys make a range of Yoyo, the Coral snake IS top end but they are all nice, The "Tiger snake" looks like a budget version of the Coral snake.

wow. £44.49 for a yoyo. Thats a lot.

What about a good yoyo suitable for a 7yr old girl for less than £10?

I haven't had a thorough look yet. I want to get my mum one for Xmas so I have plenty of time yet.

I know it's a slightly odd pressie for an old woman but when you're buying for a 70 year old who has everything she wants and needs you have to get a bit imaginative!

Telling me, I've got to buy for two elderly & crumbly 91& 92 yr olds this Christmas. I have no ideas left after 12 years of cookery books, plants & port. They have it all already. Tut. They don't eat much and don't like audio books. Aaaarrrrgghh.
