SIM Card Backup Keyring

The key to not being a victim of crime is to have the last laugh. This is where the SIM Card Back-up Key Ring comes into its own. Let us demonstrate: Your mobile phone is snatch whilst you are enjoying a few drinks out with your friends. 'How very unhandy', you think to yourself. In usual circumstances you may proceed to get angry. You may weep. But on this occasion, you have the SIM Card Back-up Key Ring attached to your keys.

On it you have cunningly backed up all the names, addresses, emails, and telephone numbers of all of your friends and colleagues that were stored on your mobile. There is no need to despair that your mobile phone is gone. You just transfer back all these details, quickly and easily, once you have a new SIM card using the SIM Card Back-up Key Ring.

Portable U.V Monitor

Now here's a rather useful contraption. In these days of enhanced solar exposure (that's people spending longer in the sun, to you and me) not to mention the whole planet getting warmer, it makes sense to know what you're getting into. How much sun is getting to your skin. And how much is too much. And that's where this thoughtfully-designed Portable UV Monitor comes in.

At just 8cm in length it's a fully portable Ultra Violet Radiation Index Meter. A breeze to carry around wherever you go, it measures and records the UV level in your precise proximity and provides an easily digestible reading, from low to high. But here's the really clever bit. It doesn't just give you a UV-based readout and leave you to work out the rest. Dear no. It then goes on to calculate your optimal exposure time based on your skin type and even the SPF of the suncream you're wearing. Magic. It then goes one step further by providing a user-defined countdown timer that alerts you when you're nicely brown on both sides, or, in the case of my wife, Mrs gadgetshop, toast.

Laser Pointer

Let's be frank. Repetitive pointing is highly strenuous on the average finger and can lead to an uncomfortable condition known as presentation finger. To avoid this, we suggest: the Laser Pointer.

Made from solid metal, with a satin stainless steel finish, the Laser Pointer has a high quality red LED laser bulb inside it. This projects a bright, powerful beam an astounding 500 metres - hitting its target accurately and saving your finger from unnecessary strain.

Water resistant

Caution: do not shine the beam into eyes.

V8 Keyring Torch

ALERT: metrological sources report sudden eclipses may become more frequent due to rising smog levels. This could make changing a tyre or opening your front door extremely hazardous. We turned to LED Lenser - producers of the brightest and most efficient flashlights available - for a solution.

Introducing The V-8 Photon Pump LED Torch Keyring. NOTE: This gadget MUST be attached to your bag or keys immediately.

You see, it gives you up to 2,000 metres of visibility. And up to 100 hours of light from one set of batteries. This is thanks to two things. One: the V-8's powerful LED light - which is a more efficient, longer lasting light source than conventional bulbs. Two: the torch's Crystal Reflector Tube - a tube lined with Italian crystal and precisely shaped to 'pump up' the light, giving a broader, more powerful beam.

Not surprising, therefore, that the V-8 Photon Pump LED Torch Keyring has won many highly renowned design and innovation awards. Or that it is featured in the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt, and London. What is surprising (ahem) is that you haven't got one yet.

Features:

Solid metal casing with a hardened satin finish for style and durability
Comes with lifetime guarantee
Includes two sets of batteries.

Automotive Rechargeable Car Torch

Please engage imagination, we have two scenarios for you. Scenario one: It's a dark winter's night. You are driving along a quiet spot of the B462 when, quite unexpectedly, your car shudders and comes to a stop. Interesting, you think. It must be a mechanical error. You decide to investigate and reach for the torch in the glovebox. You discover, to your alarm, that the torch is there but its batteries have run out. You sit, unsure what to do, while mild panic sets in. Now, scenario number two: you have the Rechargable Car Torch sat snugly in your cigarette lighter - see figure one. All the while your engine is on this unassuming gadget is charging. When your car shudders and stops (as per scenario one), you reach for the Rechargable Car Torch.

Stored in its Lithium cell battery is enough energy to give you three hours of powerful LED light - light that is enhanced via a crystal reflector tube system, so it is a high intensity beam.

Features

Charges via car's cigarette lighter.
Powerful beam.
Solid stainless steel casing.
Up to three hours light generated per charge.

Emergency Charger

We do all know what it's like. No, really. Even those of use at gadgetshop HQ have had linguistic difficulties and communications conundrums to contend with in our past lives. And there surely is no conundrum more dashed difficult to solve than the mobile phone that's about to run out of juice. Until now, that is.

Looking for all the world like a cross between an alien cigarette lighter and a Maglite torch, this compact instant phone charger gives one's deceased phone battery a bypass and provides up to another two hours of talk time. Marvellous.

But there are squintillions of chargers out there, you cry as one. Ah yes. But none so silky smooth. Light. Convenient. And cheap.

Hewn from a turquoise aluminium tube, the sleek little charger has room for a single AA battery inside, making it useful wherever you are in the world. And at just a shade over 7cms long, it's eminently portable to boot.

Now one can never live in fear of being caught short in public again. Enabling one to complete that birthday phone call to one's grandmama, or that 'mwah mwah missing you too, sweetie', to one's ladyfriend without loss of either power or prestige. And that has to be worth a fiver.

Two Way Radio

It's not often that I find ourselves stuck up cranes. Me at the top, swinging her 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 a crisp and clear electromagnetic signal over a distance of up to 5 kilometres. Then we could chat away without actually having to be near one another. Super. So do listen-up.

Delivering up to a whopping 304 channel combinations, these stylish and compact but powerful walkie talkies will jolly well keep you in touch, whether you're up the side of a mountain or stuck up a crane on a construction site. But it's the voice activation and vibrating alert technology deep within these marvels that truly sets them apart. No longer does one have to listen to an annoying 'beep' before starting a message. Just start talking and your chum's unit will relay the message, vibrating away for good measure.Rugged and robust, with a rubberised finish for extra gripability, they're even splashproof to JIS Level 2, if that means anything to you.

Nintendo Wii Console

Nintendo's Wii video game system (pronounced "we") is designed to attract people, regardless of their age or video game experience, to sit down and play together--whether they're in the same room or on different sides of the globe. The system's name reflects this simple idea. It's easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and the distinctive spelling suggests two players side by side. The two Wii features Nintendo thinks will create new levels of gaming community are built-in Wi-Fi access, supported by a new online service, and Wii's intuitive, wireless, motion-sensitive game controller.

As with every new console release, much of the buzz surrounds the specs. The system boasts 512 MB of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. Wii's technological heart -- a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway" and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named "Hollywood" -- are said to deliver stunning performance. Instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that will play both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs.

The real revolution in this system, though, is its controller, called the Wii Remote. Shaped like a TV remote, it's been designed to be easily used by beginners and pros alike. Sensors determine the Wii Remote's position is in 3-D space, which means that racing-game steering and a tennis swing, for example, are done through movements of your hand rather than by just your thumbs. What's more, a tiny speaker built into the Wii Remote promises some interactive surround sound experiences. The controller also has a force feedback "Rumble" feature and an expansion port for use with accessories, such as the Nunchuck, which adds an analog thumbstick and trigger buttons. An adapter that fits over the Wii's wee remote will be available for those who prefer the feel of a traditional controller. The Wii Remote communicates via the Bluetooth wireless standard. Up to four remotes can connect to Wii.

Radica U.B Funkeys starter kit set Lotus and Deuce

The idea is to get started with the UBFunkey Starter Set. As well as two regular UBFunkeys this contains a large USB-friendly UBFunkey that acts as your hub to Funkeytown. Each time you connect a new UBFunkey to the UBFunkey Hub you unlock a new zone containing new games and puzzles. The more UBFunkeys you collect the more zones you can explore. And the rarer the UBFunkey, the more crucial the zone it unlocks. But that's just the tip of the virtual iceberg because Funkeytown is in turmoil and it needs your help. A disaster has caused the town's portal transport system to malfunction. And to make matters worse, the villainous Master Lox has locked several portals and sent his evil henchmen out to rob the UBFunkeys. By completing various missions, avoiding the Henchmen and collecting crystals you can help defeat the resident evil-doer and restore law and order to Funkeytown. Play games in the virtual gameroom! If you're worried that Funkeytown sounds a little manic, worry not. Along the way you can earn coins to buy items for your 'crib' and show it off online to fellow UBFunkey fans. And the items you 'win' are themed to match your UBFunkey. So if you have a skeleton-themed UBFunkey, you might get a bone chair as a reward. There are currently eight different UBFunkey Tribes available. Each Tribe has three different colors of UBFunkey ranging from 'common' to 'rare' to 'very rare'. You can select which Tribe to buy but you never know which color of UBFunkey you are going to get - and that's what makes collecting them such fun.

ATM Money Bank

Introducing the ultimate in high tech piggy banks! The ATM Money Bank does it all for you and it's pin/card operated so your money will be safely locked up until you need it!

The problem with standard piggy banks is that you never quite know how much you've saved, and there's no real way of keeping track of your debits and credits. Well that's where the ATM Money Bank really comes into it's own - This Money bank has a built in computer that logs deposits and withdrawals and helps you maintain an accurate record of your monetary situation. The coin recognition system can immediately identify the value of each coin posted into the bank and will then add this to the running total which is displayed on the banks LCD screen. The system also accepts notes and will automatically draw these in through the notes slot, although the value of the note needs to be logged with each deposit.

The ATM Money Bank lets you target specific savings targets and will alert the user when these have been met. Users can also check their balance at any time and make a withdrawal that will also be logged. In order to make withdrawals, deposits or simply check your balance, users require the access card and a four digit pin code (as with a normal ATM); without this the bank will not respond so users can be sure their money is safely protected against potential theft from the poorest family member!

As the card is inserted into the ATM, the lights above the screen immediately turn on and the user is asked to enter their four digit pin code. Once this has been approved, the user can set savings targets, make deposits, check their balance and make withdrawals from the bank. The Bank also features a clock, calendar and alarm clock function; set it to remind you when it's time to make deposits and add to your savings!

3 x AA Batteries included.

Double Shotgun Dart Blaster

The Double Shot is a one-of-a-kind weapon and has possibly the most realistic action ever seen from the Air Blaster range. Load each dart individually into its shell, and then load the two chambers, one dart in each. To cock the gun simply pull down on the barrel chamber of the gun - this will automatically compresses the high powered springs and readies the gun for firing. The Double Shot has a slightly more sophisticated trigger system than its competition, enabling the user to fire two darts at the same time from each barrel, or fire darts in succession.

The Double Shot has such a life-like action that it'll even spit the empty shells out once the dart has been fired. After taking your shot, repeat the action to load the next shell into the chamber and you'll see the empty shells eject, just as a real shotgun would do (if you're really good, you'll catch them too!).

Pack Includes:
1 x Double Shot Dart Blaster
6 x Rapid Fire Foam Sucker Darts
4 x Rapid Fire Shotgun Shell
Cartridges

Caution:
Do not aim at eyes or face.

Automatic Vacuum Cleaner

This unique and utterly ingenious invention will save you all the hassle of bending double, and towing a hefty vacuum around the house. Using break-through technology the vacuum circumnavigates your room sucking up everything in its path, while avoiding major obstacles. Set it going before you go to bed and you'll wake up to a spotless house!

The Automatic Vacuum works effectively on wood, tile, laminate and carpeted surfaces with a self adjusting cleaning head that automatically traverses uneven floor transitions as it cleans. It's totally safe to have around children and pets, turning off automatically when picked up by the grab handle. The Vacuum comes with a "virtual wall" accessory which can be positioned in door ways or areas (up to 12ft wide) that users want to restrict the vacuum from entering. When in use this virtual wall will block the vacuum from exiting a room or entering a restricted area.

The Automatic Vacuum comes with a removable rechargeable battery that is charged through the Vacuum unit itself via an AC adaptor. It also has a removable dustbin where dust, dirt and anything else hoovered up by the vacuum will collect. Whilst a regular vacuum cleaner will suck up almost anything, the Vacuum won't pick up litter that's large in size - but it will thoroughly clean the floor of all dirt, dust and smaller particles.

Positioned on the top of the Automatic Vacuum are 3 different sized buttons that can be used to inform the on-board computer roughly of the size of room it has to cover. Once given this information the Vacuum will immediately set off around the room, working in various patterns to cover every inch of the floor. It will identify most objects and avoid them, however it may knock a couple with it's purpose built bumper from time to time and then change direction.

A bachelor pad essential!

Electric Shocking Tanks

Shocking Tanks is based off the popularity of the Lightning Reaction and Shocking Roulette. This is the latest Shockaholic game of the century.

The aim of the game is simple: Located on the top of each tank are 6 lights. When you start the game they all light up. Each player has the option to pick a high or low voltage. If you choose the lower voltage, you not only will receive a lower shock, but each time you land a hit on your opponents tank you only extinguish 1 of his six lights. If you choose the higher voltage than of course you are a risk taker an receive a larger shock and you are granted a reward.

The risk taker will able to extinguish 2 lights out of six for each time you score a hit on your opponents tank. The Tanks are radio controlled and wireless. They move forwards and backwards and run on tracks just the same as an ordinary tank. Each track runs separately via the controller's left and right throttles, thus making the tank have the ability to make sharp turns. There are 2 tanks and 2 controllers per package. Object of the game is to make all 6 lights go out on your opponents tank, thus ending the game. How twisted and fun does this sound?

suitable for ages of 14+. Do not use if you suffer from epilepsy or any similar or related illness. This is a novelty gift and is not intended to be used as a toy. Emits electrical shock.
Are you brave enough to battle with the shocking tanks?

ISIS Adventure Puzzle Ball

The ISIS is here! This is a new mind bending invention, said to be the most difficult puzzle of all time and almost impossible to crack! In fact, the designers of the ISIS are so confident of its supreme difficulty that they've put cash prizes up for grabs for those who manage to break the ISIS code.

The ISIS is an interactive mind puzzle which involves players having to open an alloy ball which is constructed in layers and covered in hieroglyphics. Each ISIS is unique and requires a different combination to open it. Crack the combination and you'll reveal a special key inside, which has a number stamped on it. The key will open one of the ISIS golden pyramids which are hidden in secret locations throughout the UK. Each pyramid contains a gold coin worth £500 and a number of silver coins worth £20 each!

The ISIS Adventure is a race against time, players will be able to get clues from the games' website to help them in their quest to unlock the mystery and find the hidden treasure. This is the first in a series of 5 ISIS puzzles to be launched, each presenting more advanced and challenging stages than the previous one.

"The ISIS is the result of years of research and development and is completely original. There are literally millions of combinations and the game promises to challenge the most astute and intellectual of minds. Once you pick one of these things up, it becomes a real obsession and you just can't put it down until you crack the code....but that may never happen!"Andrew Reeves (creator)

The ISIS is engineered out of a high quality alloy and is beautifully presented in a solid wooden box with a high polish finish.
