Christmas presents banner

We know what you're thinking: 'Surely it can't be Christmas already?!' Well no, not quite yet, but it's never too early to start preparing!

The boffins here at Gadget Inspector have been knocking their heads together all morning, and they've come up with this list of Christmas tips. Not the kind you might give your bin men, mind you; just a few Gadget Inspector products that will put big smiles on little faces when Christmas morning finally comes. Children and adults alike will be thrilled to find this heap of loot under the tree on December the 25th!

 

Remote control quadrocopter

Micro Drone Quadrocopter 2.0
 
No Christmas Day would be complete without a remote control helicopter, and the magnificent Micro Drone is top of the heap! It's super-speedy, super-stable, and it can even be fitted with a camera (sold separately)!

Does it need batteries? No, it comes with its own battery. All you have to do is charge it up!

 

Inflatable R2-D2 and Android

RC Inflatable R2-D2 and RC Inflatable Android [no longer available]
Some kids want a puppy or a kitten for Christmas, but if you don't want the responsibility of looking after a pet, these cute remote control characters are the next best thing! R2-D2 makes a great gift for Star Wars fans, while the RC Android will be a huge hit with anyone who's glued to their smartphone! And then there's the Remote Control Inflatable Minion - it hasn't arrived yet, but it will be here before long, and if you know someone who loved the Despicable Me films, we're pretty confident that this will make their Christmas!

Do they need batteries? Yes: a 9V battery for the remote control handset, and 4 AA batteries for the robot itself.

 

Tetris light

Tetris Light
One of the guys in the Gadget Inspector office got this for Christmas last year, and he loves the nerdy ambience it adds to his bedroom. Stack the Tetris blocks anyway you like, and be amazed when they light up! A great gift for retro gamers.

Does it need batteries? Nope - just plug it straight into the mains.

 

Assorted robo fish

Robo Fish

Here's another great alternative to getting your children an actual pet: the amazing Robo Fish (as seen on TV!) The fish come in all kinds of cool colours, and they'll never need to be fed!

Do they need batteries? Batteries are included.

 

Remote control combat creature

Combat Creatures Attacknid [no longer available]

So robotic fish and inflatable droids don't float your boat? In that case, here's a slightly more radical selection from our remote control section: the Attacknid! It shoots flying discs, walks around like a real spider, and if it gets hit by another Attacknid, the armour pops off. Get two and have a great big robot war this Christmas!

Does it need batteries? Each Attacknid needs 6 AA batteries to function.


Of course, we're only scratching the surface here. There are all kinds of other awesome gift ideas to be found here at Gadget Inspector, so if you haven't seen anything you like yet, head back to our homepage and see what else we've got!

Oh, and don't forget the stocking fillers!

Now that it's October, it won't be long before Christmas is upon us, and the stress that comes with buying everybody's Christmas presents before the big day! Don't worry, we have the perfect present for you to give this December! Introducing the latest cool gadget, the Robo Fish. The Robo Fish is a pet with a difference. You no longer need to worry about keeping the fish tank clean, feeding your fish, and the heart break you feel when a pet passes away. The Robo Fish activates when it comes in contact with water, and deactivates when it is dried off. The perfect pet, as you only have it when you want it! An added bonus, is that it comes with batteries. Is there anything more annoying as a kid than when you open a new present on Christmas morning and your brand new amazing present needs batteries and you don't have any? Robo Fish even comes with SPARE batteries so you get double the playing time at no extra cost!

Now onto business. The Robo fish comes in several different styles and colours. If you are lucky enough to get one of these fabulous pet fish, you can choose from a lifelike robotic shark and the cute clown fish! Each of these styles comes in several colours including, orange, green, pink, blue, red and grey. With so many different choices there is bound to be a colour and style that suits everyone. Even better, you could collect all the Robo Fish and create your very own tropical fish tank.

The Shark Robo Fish swims and moves like a life like shark, with an aggressive and curious temperament. Whereas, the Clown Fish swims like a real life fish with a peaceful and semi-aggressive temperament. These little pet fish would be perfect for bath time with the kids. Obviously, we've all been children before, and i'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say we've all gone through that phase of refusing to bathe when we were younger. If only we had these Robo Fish for bath time, we would have needed no convincing in getting in the tub!

You can either buy the Robo Fish singly, or you can purchase a Robo Fish Playset - which comes with one Robo Fish, AND a fish bowl is included for your new fish to swim around in. The perfect start up kit, you will be well on your way to owning your very own tropical fish collection!

So lets wrap it up. The Robo Fish are perfect pets, they make no mess, don't need feeding and are activated and deactivated easily. Not only this but they make a great bath buddy and you can create your own tropical fish tank by collecting all of the styles and different colours. So what are you waiting for? Buy one for yourself, or as a gift for someone else - they provide hours of fun.

It is what you have all been waiting for, the new Micro Drone 2.0 Quadrocopter has finally arrived and is up on our online store now, check it out! It will available for purchase over the next few days so keep your eyes peeled. Make sure you are the first to have one! With Christmas just around the corner, (I know it is a little while yet, but we all know how quickly time flies, and it'll be upon us before we know it!) this is an ideal gift to give this year. With all the newly added features and additions, this is going to be a popular request from Santa by many.

Since there have been other blog posts on this new product, I have decided to provide you with 5 ways to use the new Micro Drone to your advantage

  1. Use your Quadrocopter to spy. Once the camera becomes available for the Micro Drone you can use your Quadro Copter to spy on people! Since you can fly continuously for 8 minutes, this gives you plenty of opportunity to bring out your inner detective! 
  2. Create a series of tricks for a display! Since the Quadrocoper is even better than the last, use its new features to your advantage. With even better control and stability you'll be a pro in no time, after a little bit of practice performing tricks with your Quadrocopter. 
  3. Have a race with fellow Quadrocopter owners. With the new increase in speed, who could resist showing off their remote control skills by having a race against a friend. You could even create an obstacle course to make things more challenging! No need to worry about damaging your Quadrocopter, because it is built with such a tough structure, it can withstand turbulence and the harshest landings! 
  4. Take your Quadrocopter to work. Use it to spy on other collegues at work and keep tabs on how much work they are really doing!
  5. Disturb someone's nap time. Annoyed at a sibling or family member because they keep on waking you up early in the morning? Wait until they are having a nap and get your revenge. Use your Quadrocopter to hover above their head and gently fly into them so they stir from their sleep. Every time they do wake up, quickly move Quadrocopter out of sight so they think they are dreaming. Perfect plan of revenge! 

As mentioned in a previous blog post, one of the new features to the Quadrocopter this year, is the ability to support a camera for photographic and videography use. However, the camera is sold separetly from the Quadrocopter and won't be available until the next couple of weeks. Plenty of time before christmas to put together this awesome present for someone! Whether you are buying this for yourself, or as a present for someone else - they will love it.
