Digital Photo Frame Keyring — £11.99
Please note: Due to popular demand this item is limited to 3 per customer.Now this is just getting silly. There was a time that a single rolled-up black and white photograph of one's ladyfriend, stuffed into one's military tunic or great-coat was all that a chap needed to be reminded of his true love. Now, as well as matching his-and-hers bathrobes, towels, tattoos and assorted partnership paraphernalia, one is now compelled to carry round multiple images of one's babe.But where to store them? This...

Sound Asleep Pillow — £19.99
Mrs Gadgetshop is a very patient lady.

Etch a Sketch — £15.99

Global Warming Mug — £7.99
Now here's a clever way of demonstrating the rather unfortunate consequences of global warming for Planet Earth. You see, conventional wisdom tells us that when the ravages of climate change have had their way with us, the habitable surface of the earth will be, how can we put it... much reduced. But by how much? And will I still be able to pop down the road to the newsagent for a packet of Revels?This revolutionary mug has an answer. Outwardly it looks just like any other mug with a familiar map...

Bomb Alarm Clock — £14.99
How we simply love DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince here at gadgetshop HQ. This is to do with nothing in particular, other than the title of their last collaborative work together, a work entitled Boom Shake the Room. This piece is startlingly reminiscent of what will happen should you oversleep and be in the presence of the Bomb Clock.It does, like our friend Ronseal, exactly what it says on the tin.

Two Way Radio — £49.99
It's not often that I find myself stuck up a crane. Me at the top, swinging Mrs Gadgetshop's latest gargantuan shop at Waitrose into the back of the Volvo, her at the bottom telling me to be careful of the bags with the sun-blushed vine tomatoes inside. Not often at all. But if we were, or she was on one side of the park with McTavish the labrador and me on the other side, sensibly sitting down and reading a newspaper, I know exactly what I'd take with me. A powerful, two-way radio capable of sending...

Retro Space Hopper — £11.99
At gadgetshop, we have discovered the time machine. But it's not a blue police box. Or a Victorian whirlygig. Or a ball of white-hot energy, for that matter.

When you have taken aim, and are happy that your...

Meccano Spykee Micro — £19.99
Think small. BigSmall. Small is beautiful. Good things come in small packages. Small ones are more juicy.

Marmite Sandwich Box — £4.99
Mrs Gadgetshop is famed for her sandwich making skills. Whereas my attempts at a Sloppy Joe result in something very sloppy indeed, her creations always have the perfect amount of filling, the freshest bread, and the tastiest - well taste. So it is quite frustrating when at lunchtime at Gadgetshop HQ I delve into my man bag to find it squashed under the weight of several magazines (of the gadget variety of course).So this little fella made my eyes widen in disbelief and joy. Not only is it adorned...

USB Finger Dance Mat — £9.99

To combat this and prolong your feel for timing and tempo on the dance floor, use the USB Dance Mat at regular intervals throughout the day.This ingenious contraption mimics the arcade style Dance Mat in terms of look and game play, yet it's small enough to sit on a desk and requires players to use their middle and index fingers instead of their feet.Simply...

Money to Burn Firelighters — £9.99
'Credit crunch? Poppycock!' exclaimed our colleague Simon, as he tossed a burning wad of £50 notes to start the fire in which Gadgetshop burns the tackiest and worst gadgets which we would never consider presenting to our dear customers.We of course simply assumed the fumes had rather gone to his head. However on the fifth occasion of him doing such we became rather suspect.

Beer Pong — £14.99
'Beer pongs', I heard our colleague Simon yell from across the room. I nodded absent mindedly, wondering why he felt the need to make such an announcement.

Space Hopper Stress Ball — £4.99
One knows what it's like. It's Monday. The office beckons, and, as one's daily trudge from the station begins, the heavens open.

And, to top it all off, the cute little miss from Accounts to whom you opened your heart at the Christmas party is off in Corfu. With her boyfriend Grant.On days such as these we can recommend three courses of action:1. A return to home base, a hot...

Action Camera ATC5K — £149.99
Once upon a time, when a gentleman wished to throw himself out of an aircraft at 10,000 feet, he had to arrange a specially trained cameraman, complete with helmet-mounted Super8 to capture the action for tedious (and time consuming) processing after the event.Now, of course, in these days of producer-consumers (that's you, by the way), one can take complete control and become a veritable Spielberg on the piste or Fellini on the rapids. And then view the action straight away.The ATC5K is a real action...

Hang-Out Hammock — £9.99
Hang out in a hammock and let it all hang out. That's the idea, at least.

The Nkryptor Puzzle — £49.99
The best things come in small packages, or so they say. 82.1% of us at gadgetshop HQ thought this frivolous mumbo-jumbo until we encountered the sleek, metallic and utterly beguiling NKryptor puzzle from the same clever types who brought us the dastardly Isis a few years back.

(Product key...

USB Mains Charger — £6.99
Now this is just getting silly. There was a time when all one needed was the clothes on one's back and one could roam freely, doing as one pleased. But no more. Such is evolution that we now need a mobile, work mobile, iPod, PDA and Nintendo DS to cart around just to keep us happy. And that's just for going to the newsagent. Throw in the variety of plugs necessary to charge such fancies and you need a transit van just to be able to cart it all around.But no more. The answer to such a conundrum lies...

Subbuteo Cufflinks — £19.99
I once killed Dennis Law. And brutally maimed the late George Best. As for Joe Jordan, well, he had his head chewed off by my little brother Graham. And just don't ask what happened to poor Ray Clemence when I trod on him.I'm speaking metaphorically, of course, through the boyhood medium that is Subbuteo. Fiendishly difficult to pronounce - like Borussia Monchengladbach - and even more difficult to play when you've broken your fingers.Now you can put the boyhood pain of RSI in your favourite flicking...

20Q Handheld (version 2) — £11.99
As you know, we are science experts. We have never placed much faith in the mystical babblings of so-called 'telepaths'. Hard fact and empirical evidence are what we need - and this clever device gives you an awful lot of both.Quite simply, 20Q is a wonder of modern science. Using the latest AI technology it is a handheld game that guesses what you're thinking - usually in less than 20 questions (making it a great deal cleverer than some people). But it doesn't do it using basic guesswork or what...

Desktop Henry Hoover — £11.99
Meet Henry. If you don't know him personally, you'll most certainly have seen him around, most likely smiling proudly in the front window of Robert Dyas or some such sensible high street DIY chain.

Burt's Bees Hand Care Kit — £5.99
It can be hard work, testing all these gazillions of gadgets to make sure you, dear customer, only get the absolute best pieces of fabulousness.But that's enough plugging. To the point.

Crayon Mug - Pillar Box Red — £5.99

The fact is that now one can have a constant reminder of those sweet and innocent days with one of these bright and beautiful Crayon Mugs. You'll be torn between having another cuppa and digging out that sketch pad. We...

Action Camera — £99.99

Pleo - The Robotic Dinosaur — £199.99
Fact: Goldfish do not live very long. And it can be distressing for all members of the family when they pass away. To avoid undergoing similar trauma in the future, we suggest a more robust pet in the form of Pleo. Pleo is a one week-old Camarasaurus from the Jurassic period. Obviously, his resurrection has less to do with DNA and more to do with modern technology. You see, Pleo is a robot. But DO NOT confuse him with other robots available. Goodness, no. Pleo is a marvel. Indeed, each Pleo has a...

Target Alarm Clock — £14.99
It's 06.30 on a wet Thursday morning in November. Outside, it's Croydon. But snuggled up inside one's warm duvet, it might as well be Hawaii. How to make these two worlds collide?

Wattson — £99.99

The considerate fella shows you how much each electrical appliance uses in watts or pounds. Portable and wireless, it monitors...

Chococase for iPhone — £9.99
The ayes have it. Or should that be the i-s have it. For anytime we see i-something on a new product in the loading bay here at gadgetshop HQ, we strongly suspect it might have something to do with the now ubiquitous iPod. We also strongly suspect that anyone who by now does not have one has, quite simply, thought about it but decided against.However, if you're one of the millions who now have an iPod touch or iPhone and have become dangerously addicted to its sleekness, you may be wondering how...

Trinvo Talking Translator — £34.99
Now on our search for the latest and bestest gadgets to bring to you, dear customer, we at Gadgetshop HQ have travelled far and wide. However we have run into minor obstacles in the past.

Moontent — £34.99
Now don't laugh. The moontent is not temporary accommodation in which one may flash one's posterior at passers-by. It is, in fact temporary accommodation in which one may view a rock band or two at a festival. And then flash one's posterior at passers-by.It's really all rather simple. The Moontent begins life as a humble circle of tightly-tied fabric. To erect, simply unleash the hooks and stand the bally hell back, as the tent goes about its business and raises itself. Pop.

Humunga Tongue — £7.99
Should you come face to face with a mean, snarling dog take the Humunga tongue in hand and throw it as high and far as you can. The dog will be driven to chase the Humunga Tongue because of its bright colour and odd shape.

Finger Steel Drums — £14.99
Now is it just us or does that very first bit from 'Under the Sea' in the Little Mermaid somehow always have the ability to fill anyone with instant joy and happiness?

Introducing the accessory for the Wii that's guaranteed to get your heart pounding...

Pocket Shock-It — £11.99
Put a shock in it. The marvellous game Lightning Reaction, as profiled here on this marvellous website, is a simply evil way of electrocuting one's friends for fun without recourse to an electric cattle prod. All of which is a jolly good jape after a few Appletisers.But, being designed for domestic party use and group entertainment, it didn't have the truly portable credentials desired by mobile pranksters. Now, with the Shock Pocket and its handy go-anywhere convenience, you can take it anywhere...

Camper Van Desk Tidy — £4.99
Back in the summer of love - that's the original version - Mrs Gadgetshop and I found ourselves in Nantwich, which was a very long way from San Francisco. Nor were we going there with flowers in our hair. We were, instead, going to a Festival which turned out to be very beardy wierdy indeed.Our only saving grace - and salvation - from all the humming and strumming, was our genuine and authentic VW camper van, in which we toured the A-roads and B-roads all that summer. We saw no free love, although...

Dart Coat Hooks — £19.99
Whenever we find ourselves at a loss for hands - when we've got too much to carry and need to remove, say, a smoking jacket - there's invariably nowhere to put it. Granted, at one's London club there's a Little Man from Harrods with green pinnie to take it away for you, dust it down and keep it safe. But most of us tend to use a coat hook, a cunning device applied to the reverse of a door, or, if one is inclined to make more mess, directly into a wall. Now at last there is a solution for those design...

iPod Hymn Book Case — £14.99
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God to bring together this hymn book and this trendy white electronic music contraption in holy matrimony...Even before The Clever Mr Jobs had the idea of inventing the even cleverer iPod (and spawning a whole industry of accessories manufacturers in the process) there were cunning ways of disguising illicit goods. The fabled hipflask-in-the-bible routine was always a textbook favourite. Or perhaps the jazz mag hidden inside the Financial...

Stunt Granny — £19.99
Here in the bowels of gadgetshop HQ we do like to grab a granny now and again. And we mean that in a strictly PC and non-pejorative sense. Our fondness of grannies extends far beyond the Racing Grannies depicted elsewhere on these pages.These grannies do more than race. Oh yes. They may be wheelchair bound, but they have taken on the garb of something far more risqué. For these are remotely controlled stunt grannies. They are on the loose in what appears to be a supermarket. And they are simply not...

Lav Nav — £19.99
Here at gadgetshop HQ, we thought we'd seen it all. For every thorny problem and postmodern challenge, a handy gadget to provide a solution. Until now.For no-one, it seems, has given much thought to the perennial male problem of misguided late-night urinary activity. Put a man in an unfamiliar place, it seems, and he'll pee anywhere. Down flights of stairs. Into antique wardrobes. Into dog bowls. Think we made those up? Just ask your chums (and their fathers).Quite simply, if he's in unfamiliar surroundings...

Space Food - Astronaut Strawberries — £3.99
Freeze dry some strawberries and you'll be sending them into the culinary equivalent of suspended animation. They might look dry and feel dry to the touch, yet, by simply tearing open the foil outer and popping these fancies into the mouth (thereby re-hydrating them in the process) you'll find that, more often than not, the unappetising-looking blobs explode with flavour and swiftly return to a version of their former selves. All of which makes this authentic all-American astro-snack a technological...

Ice Tumblers — £9.99
Once upon a time, long before gadgets were invented, ice sculptures were all the rage on the European party circuit of the Georgian era. Flouncy ladies and all manner of cads and bounders would indulge in midsummer gaiety at grand occasions adorned by huge sculptures of rising swans or peacocks. These were hewn from solid blocks of ice preserved since winter in deep underground chambers.But they had their limitations. Now, thanks to a quantum leap in the technology of plastic injection moulding,...

Throwzini's Knife Thrower Knife Block — £59.99
The circus that is the staff kitchen here at gadgetshop HQ could almost certainly do with one of these. But they're not for the feint-heated.

Radio Controlled Duck — £14.99
Rub-a-dub-dub. Bathtime wouldn't be bathtime without your little friend. No. Stop thinking that thought. This is something different entirely; something we at gadgetshop HQ have cherished since our mis-spent childhoods. For where, we ask, would we be without our rubber duckies?Now today, of course, when everything is digitised and the analogue world is a fading memory, a bog standard inanimate rubber duck just won't do. What you need is a digi-duck. A self-propelled duck capable of 360 degree movement...

Clip Watch — £11.99
Pocket watches are useful in all manner of circumstances where a watch or mobile phone is out of the question. But these miniature time pieces are cursed with one fatal negative-that being, you're rather limited as to where you can wear it. Not so with the Clip Watch.

Fireplace DVD — £0.99
Please note: Due to popular demand this item is limited to 3 per customer.A roaring hearth. A warm pipe. A glass of claret and a faithful golden retriever.

The unique romantic ambience of the log fire is much loved and much missed in centrally heated Britain. Back in the harsh winter of 1947 it...

Mr Men Stressball Keychain - Little Miss Naughty — £3.99

Inspired by the classic vacuum cleaner designs...

The World's Stupidest Laws Book — £4.99

Did you know? In Australia, children may not purchase cigarettes, but are allowed to smoke them... In Canada every fifth song on Canadian radio must be by a Canadian born citizen (which means Ceine Dion and Bryan Adams get played quite a bit!). And in Florida it is considered an offence to shower whilst...

iStylista Personal Stylist Gift Box — £14.99
Our colleague Simon here at gadgetshop still, rather embarassingly, sports a mullet and wears trousers with suspenders. OK maybe we're exaggerating slightly, but our disapproving eye most certainly thinks he could do with a bit of a style update.The iStylista is designed with these such people in mind. Though admittedly, being pink, it's probably one for the laydeez (or men who are comfortable with their masculinity). Do you struggle with what to wear and would you like confidence in knowing which...

Wenger Giant Swiss Army Knife — £499.99
The American Army has its bunker-busters and fuel-air devices. The British Army has the Challenger 2 on the ground and the Typhoon for air cover.

Golf Mug — £9.99
If there's one thing about golf that still makes it difficult for a chap to have fun it's the putting green. One can cope with BMW Envy in the car park, Pringle Envy in the 19th Hole and Ping Envy on the fairway. But Putting Envy can be the undoing of a man.

Ant Habitat — £9.99

Trebuchet — £14.99

Mullet Power Cards — £4.99
Behold the mighty mullet, manly haircut. There was a time, of course, when the mullet was acceptable in polite society. But no longer.

Working on the same principle as trump cards, the objective is to out-mullet...

Safe Baby Handling Kit — £4.99
No when Mrs Gadgetshop gave birth to Master Gadgetshop, I feel I was slightly conned. She proceeded to insist I wake up in the middle of the night for feeding duties, change all nappies, and many other duties claiming that she had 'put in all the hard work' thus far. Naturally guilt ridden, I accepted. But something tells me I could have done with this here little kit.You see this contains an all important "Who's gonna do it?" spinner to help parents negotiate childrearing duties. It also has hilarious...

Micro Mosquito Radio Control Flying Toy — £69.99

Now here's a nifty way of popping your head over the fence to ogle the chapess next door without being spotted or otherwise denounced as a pervy interloper.

In all our years of deconstructing fiendishly complex gadgetry here in the lab, deep underground at gadgetshop HQ, we've never before come across a fusion of technologies...

USB Retro Lamp — £7.99
Desklamps are ever so functional and, frankly, a touch boring. In our experience, there are really only two kinds:1. The stainless steel ones you buy at IKEA and Habitat, which are fine up to a point. They look fabulous, have all manner of neat little switches and may even incorporate the latest halogen technology. 2. The ones that look like they've come straight out of a nuclear bunker; battleship grey, beige or buff, with socking great controls and deeply environmentally unfriendly lightbulbs.And...

Salvador Dali Clock — £9.99
Salvador Dali really would have made an impression in the creatively inspired world of gadgetshop HQ. His core conceit - take an everyday object or situation and warp it out of context - was the very essence of surrealism in the late 20th century. And now you can hang it in your kitchen... and really mess with peoples' minds. Dali was a fine artist and a wondrous painter. But as a conceptual designer he was truly marvellous, if you like that sort of thing. Take this clock, for instance. It looks...

Howzat! Cricket Kit — £5.99
