Are you one for practical jokes? Of course you are, you little tyke.

Whether it’s an elaborate, expensive prank on the telly like Punk’d, or a sensationally simple jape involving a stapler and a pack of jelly, there’s no getting away from the fact that the practical joke is a long-famous tradition for those males (and females) who like nothing better than to fool their friends. And at Gadget Inspector, we’re here to help you give your friends and family the perfect shock.

If you’re looking for a small but hugely effective prank, you’ll agree that there’s nothing quite so sensational as a short, sharp electric shock – which is why our shock accessories are so popular. Make your victim feel for a split second like Tim Murphy when the electric fence is turned on in Jurassic Park. These shocking implements give a nasty but completely harmless burst of electric current into your friends’ unsuspecting extremities. 

There’s a torch that shocks when you press the wrong button; a car key that’s deceptively similar to an Audi fob; a cigarette lighter [no longer available] that could prove a useful weapon against smoking and maybe best of all, a pen that shoots an electric current whenever you try to write with it. With these range of accessories, you’ll doubtless have the tools to satisfactorily surprise your friends. Mwahahahahahahahaha!

Were you a child of the Eighties? If so, you’ll recall a number of glorious things from that terrifically colourful, bombastic decade: big hair, Dallas, rubix cubes, Wham!, Live Aid and – perhaps best of all – Pac-Man. 

Yes, forget Pong or Donkey Kong, Pac-Man was the video game that made the decade, as he ran around a maze on a black screen eating up as many pellets as he could find, and all while avoiding his four mortal enemies Blinky, Pinky Inky and Clyde. 

And if you spent far too much of your misplaced youth trying to make this loveable pie-chart lookalike reach the promised land that was level 255, then you’ll love the 80s retro Pac-man designs on offer at Gadget Inspector. 

If you’re heading off to a wedding this autumn but don’t have the right finishing touch, these Pac-Man Cufflinks will undoubtedly give you that smouldering ‘geek-chic’ look.  Or, for companionship during long journeys, choose the Pac-Man portable speaker which is battery-powered and weighs just 116g. It also ingeniously conserves power by switching on and off upon inserting and removing the audio cable from your iPod or audio device.

A totally awesome option for parties and home use is the Pac-Man Bottle Opener, perfect for those old-school gamers who want to reminisce about the good old days with a collection of cold beers. And this Pac-Man is so much more than a bottle opener: it’s equipped with two small magnets, which sit in the back of its mouth, allowing him to stick conveniently to your fridge door. Plus, the magnets make the bottle tops stay in his mouth once they’ve been opened – no more finding old tops under the sofa three months later! 

Last but not least: you’re going to need protection from the elements this autumn, and what better way to stay dry than with this geek-tastic Pac-Man Arcade Poncho? 

Organising a Festive Feast?

'Tis the season to be jolly! Or rather, 'tis the season to be extremely cross with everyone who is jolly at the start of November, practically TWO MONTHS away from ACTUAL Christmas. Try though you might to avoid it, the big day is looming ever nearer, and the more you choose to fight it the closer you will get to the mad Christmas Eve dash for last minute presents in town! We say, kick back, relax, get organised and enjoy Christmas for what it is: a season of presents, red cups at Starbucks and delicious food. Said delicious food will be cooked by many of you on a number of occasions throughout the coming months and might, as such. be viewed as a chore rather than a treat. Here at Gadget Inspector we're stocked full of products to make the preperation of your festive feast run smoothly with both chef and guests thoroughly enjoying the process, from start to finish! 

As you're channelling your inner Heston Blumenthal cooking up an absolute storm in the kitchen, the last thing you need to be thinking about is providing your guests with beverages. Let alone the fact that unfortunately, there are always a few sneaky diners who don't like red wine, which requires minimal preparation. Our Chillpod Wine Chiller is the perfect nifty gadget to hush those wittering relatives who insist on chilled white wine or rose, and chills your wine much quicker than a fridge can and proceeds to keep it ice cool for hours, leaving you - chef, with nothing to worry about (apart from cooking an epic meal of course). 

For those of you who struggle to keep a cool head under all this intense pressure, we are yet again here to ease the pain by providing you with possibly the greatest invention we've ever come across. This marvellous 6 Pack Apron will ensure that no matter what atrocities occur in the kitchen you will be having a simply lovely time! The hilarious apron has room for 6 cans of beer - the perfect pacifier for any stressed cook! Of course, you could use the apron to offer cold beverages to your friends as they sit stunned by your culinary skills, or you could pop this sneaky apron on in the kitchen and have a little party all by yourself! We certainly know which option we'd prefer!
