Fancy a padlock for your Nutella jar, to keep it safe? Look no further.

Invest in this handy new device and keep sneaky stealers and their cheeky spoons away from your precious hazelnut goodness.

It is an acrylic box that you put over the lid and then padlock in place, meaning nobody can get inside the jar without the key.

Available on eBay in Germany, it costs €9.99 (or £7.27) plus postage.

It is apparently the brainchild of Daniel Schobloch of Borkenkaefer Furniture and Fittings.

He said: “The idea started out as a joke. One of my friends was always getting worked up because his children were stealing his Nutella.”

As news spread, demand for the genius contraption grew, he explained to The Local: “As the demand continued to grow, we decided to offer the device on eBay.”

Daniel reckons it might not deter the most committed Nutella thieves, and is meant as more of a joke. “Acrylic is easy to break into”, he admitted.

Even so, he’s already sold 1,000.

Sorry to mention the ‘C’ word but we think this would make a most excellent Christmas present.
