Gadgets.co.uk: USB hamster

Those nice people at Gadgets.co.uk have been in touch to let us know about some of their products that are selling particularly well at present (hint: a quick-solve for your present woes). Fancy a sneak peek at what other people are buying? Here you go…

Plus, there’s even a discount code on offer to make it that little bit more attractive. First, here’s a few things you might spend it on:

  1. USB Hamster Wheel - £15.95. Plug it into your computer and when you type the hamster will run in his wheel! In fact the faster you type the faster hammy will run!
  2. Stainless steel chocolate fountain - was £29.95, now £18.99. Just fill with melted chocolate, turn on and off you go to chocolate heaven!
  3. Electronic coin sorter - £19.95. The ideal solution to loose change problems - drop your UK coins in, press the button, and watch them all get sorted and stacked.
  4. LavNav nightlight - £19.99. With a nightlight, visual targeting system and a ‘put the damned seat down’ warning feature, this is a practical solution to those perennial household arguments.
  5. Darth Duck Fadar - £6.45. A long long time ago, on a planet many light years away, there was a slight accident. Here’s the result…
  6. Salvation 1 mini radio-controlled helicopter - £49.99. Weighing just 27 grams, this micro chopper can fly forwards or backwards, left or right with precision control and unprecedented stability.
  7. Silver rubber band gun - £5.95. Allows rapid fire of up to eight rubber bands - with a snazzy chrome-coloured finish it’s probably the best rubber band gun in the world.
  8. Clockwork racing grannies - £7.99. Take two saggy, baggy, dotty old grannies with Zimmer frames, wind up their clockwork and race ‘em!
  9. Sharp Shooter TV remote control - £9.95. Tired of the seemingly endless struggle over what to watch on TV? Solve your problems at a stroke with this gun-shaped remote.
  10. Flying alarm clock - £19.95. When the alarm sounds the propellor is launched up into the air and will fly away from the clock, the alarm only ceasing once it has been located and replaced. By this time you will surely be alert enough to make the stumble into the bathroom.

Now, about that discount code. Get a fiver off when you order more than £50 worth of goods and pay using Google Checkout. Enter BONUS5 at the checkout as usual…

10 silly present ideas from IWantOneOfThose.com

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Here’s a quick fix foryour Christmas shopping dilemmas, courtesy of IWantOneOfThose.com.

This retailer brings you the very best in daft gadgets, ridiculously desirable toys and silly things for the home and office. Get sorted with this list of its Christmas best-sellers… while sat at home in the warm.

  • Rhythm Sticks - drumsticks that don’t need a drum. Each one has a speaker in its base and, when you hit the air with them, they make a great drum sound.
  • Cat’s Arse Sharpener - it’s a cat, you stick your pencil in its derrière, it meows and it sharpens your pencil. In its own litter tray to catch your pencil shavings.
  • PicooZ Micro Helicopter - this gnat of a flying machine is the smallest and lightest radio-controlled helicopter in the world. Also astonishingly easy to fly.
  • Hot Hand Warmer - Warm up your cold bits at the click of a switch. The pack does some nifty chemical reaction stuff, solidifies and heats up - bingo. Boil them in water and they re-liquify.
  • Emergency Phone Charger - simply pop in an AA battery and plug it into your phone for an extra two hours’ talk time. Will also charge up any iPod.
  • Craptrumps - Just like Top Trumps, only better. Instead of the cool and classic cars adorning the original cards Craptrumps is all about the really rubbish cars we all actually drive.
  • Sudoku Loo Roll - When are we sitting down alone, with our hands free and nothing too taxing to do with our brains? You can see where this is going…
  • Flying Monkey - Where evolution failed, this monkey has succeeded, whether or not that is a good thing remains to be seen.
  • Colour Phasing Sphere - phases deliciously slowly through a spectrum of soft mixed colours, spreading a moody and mesmerising glow round the room.
  • Lavalamp Phone Charm - Replicating the iconic Mathmos Lava Lamp from the 60s, but on a somewhat more diminutive and Lilliputian scale.
