Weekend gadgets - because the weekend is never more than five days away!

What's the best thing about working Monday to Friday? Saturday and Sunday, of course! Five days in the office (or whatever environment you work in) make the weekend taste extra-sweet when it finally arrives, and Gadget Inspector is always here to provide you with a bunch of drinking accessories and other wonderful weekend gadgets to help your 48 hours of freedom go with a bang.

The working week doesn't tend to contain much opportunity for debauchery, so Friday and Saturday are pretty much the only nights when a dogged nine-to-fiver can chug a few lugs. Our gadget website is littered with drinking accessories to help you show off your drinking skills, including shot glasses, beer bongs, and lots of other great drinking accessories.

But enough about drinking accessories. Weekends aren't just about alcohol consumption, and we've got plenty of other great weekend gadgets for you to discover. The possibilites are endless - you could get your friends 'round for a spot of gambling on your Mini Black Jack Table or just sit in your Inflatable Football Chair and watch Saturday's big matches play out on the TV. We've got weekend gadgets to suit all tastes!

Gadget Inspector's weekend gadgets are a tonne of fun, so whether you're looking for drinking accessories or something a little less liver-shrivelling, our Party & Drinking section will have something for you.

We’ve added yet another fabulous item to our gadget website, and this time it’s the Ultimate Beer Pong Set. It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like – if you want to play beer pong, this handy kit contains pretty much everything you’ll need! That means two balls, two beer pong pitches, and no less than fourteen cups to hold the beer and, if your aim’s any good, those ping-pong balls.

If you’ve never played beer pong before, you’ll probably want a bit of an introduction before you invest in a beer pong set. So here we go: beer pong was invented in 1872, a decade or so before anyone had heard of ping-pong, by an Englishman named Eustace Pong. Pong came up with the game when, in the middle of his evening pint, his glass eye fell out of its socket and landed in his beer. Fortunately, he decided not to use glass eyes in the game; in fact, the earliest beer pong set used pine cones in place of balls. Experts also agree that back in the 19th century, the game would only have been played by members of the royal family and other wealthy aristocrats, as nobody else back then could afford cups. A far cry from the modern game, we’re sure you’ll agree – beer pong is now a fixture of parties the world over, and no matter where you go on a weekend, you’re likely to find a bunch of people digging out the beer pong set and attempting to get their balls into each other’s drinks.

That’s pretty much all you need to know, so grab yourself a beer pong set today and get practicing. Before you know it, you’ll be competing in the beer pong world series, and no we haven’t made that up. Unlike the rest of this blog post.  

We've added even more beer bongs to our range!

If you’ve already had a look around the Gadget Inspector site, it probably won’t have escaped your attention that we’re rather fond of beer bongs. It’s not like we’re alcoholics or anything, but we do like to enjoy ourselves, let our hair down on the weekend and, y’know, drink three pints of beer in as little time as possible. It’s perfectly normal.

We’ve always had a great range of beer bongs available here at Gadget Inspector, and any party animals in the audience will be delighted to hear that we’ve recently added a few more. The I Love Beer Bong [no longer available] is pretty straightforward – if you love beer, you’ll love this bong. Slightly more complex is this Girls vs. Boys Beer Bong [no longer available]which allows two people to drink at once and do battle for the pride of their respective genders. Last but not least is this proud and patriotic Wales Beer Bong, which will hopefully appease anyone who was annoyed that we had an England Flag Beer Bong but no Welsh one.

Our Beer Bong section is now bigger, better, and boozier than ever, so if you fancy having more than just a quiet drink this weekend, you know what you need.

Vodka jelly and vodka bottle ice cubes

Vodka might well be the most popular liquor in the world. Russians tend to drink it on its own, but less crazy people have found that vodka also goes well with all manner of juices and fizzy drinks.

And then there's vodka jelly, which has become a bit of a party favourite in recent years. You have to be careful when you make vodka jelly; if you use too much vodka then the jelly won't set, but if you use too little, well, you might as well just be eating jelly. And that's no fun.

So if you think you can master the art of the vodka jelly, grab yourself a vodka jelly mould and give it a go! Our jelly mould is shaped just like a vodka bottle, so your party guests can be sure that they're not wasting their time on boring, 'normal' jelly.

And if you prefer to take your vodka in liquid form, perhaps you'd prefer this cool vodka bottle ice tray! Just fill it with water, stick it in the freezer, and before long you'll have eight of the coolest ice cubes you've ever seen! Each one is shaped like a vodka bottle, so whether or not there's actually any alcohol in your drink, you can always have a bit of vodka in there.

Sadly though, you won't be able to make actual vodka ice cubes. Vodka freezes at around minus 27 degrees Celsius - probably a fair bit colder than your freezer can manage!

Get competitive with a bit of beer pong!

If you want a way of turning a few quiet pints into all-out war, beer pong is the game for you. The premise is fairly simple: if the ball's in your cup, drink it all up! The aim is to throw the ball into your opponent's cups and force him to empty all of his before you've emptied all of yours.

Beer pong has become immensely popular at parties everywhere, and it's spawned a lot of variations, but no matter how you're playing it, you're always going to need the essentials - the table, the cups, the balls, and the beer. We're not licensed to sell you that last one, but we've got the other three in spades and they're blimmin' brilliant.

Better yet, our beer pong table glows in the dark, meaning that you can have some frantic beer pong fun with the lights out! Beer pong is a great way to knock your party up a notch, so don't hang around - get your order in now!
