The Slanket - The award winning blanket with arms! £29.99


The Slanket - £29.99

Now, unless you've been living in a cave for the last few months (or have avoided those JML display TVs you get in Asda and Wilkos), then you can't have failed to see the the latest craze in TV blankets - the Slanket!!!

The concept is simple - for too long we've struggled on the sofa with armless blankets, books, cups of tea, remote controls, forever exposing our limbs to the drafty air. Well never fear, Slanket is here - now you can laze on your couch at your leisure, without exposing your arms to the ravages of a nasty draft. Plus, you can get a tiger print one now too ;-)

Stadium Tours - just in case that England call up gets lost in the post


Stadium Tours - from £10

A great gift for any footie fan, these tours around premiership or Webley stadiums will give them a great chance to get close to their heroes - see inside the players' changing rooms, walk through the tunnel, sit inside the dugout, and at Wembley, even take a look in the royal box!

TandemZ-1 Micro Chopper - Complete with stabilisers


TandemZ-1 Micro Chopper - £29.95

Miniture remote control helicopters have been all the rage for a while now and this version is the daddy. The TendemZ-1 (snappy name huh?) is a miniture monster, coming with 2 blades and a (relatively) long length of 17cm. It's also a replica of a Sea Knight Heli used by the US Marines.

And if your loved one is an inexperienced pilot, fear not - this 'copter comes complete with stabilisers which can be easily added to the Helicopter itself, and the remote control. It's also pretty bash-proof, bouncing of walls, floors ceilings and the family dog without doing too much damage!

The Daddy Wine Puzzle - rewarding inginuity with alcohol


The Daddy Wine Puzzle - £24.95

This should keep anyone frustratingly busy for an evening, particularly if they enjoy the odd tipple. The Daddy wine puzzle is the perfect gift for anyone who likes their plonk and gives you the pleasure of blackmailing them with the solution (which comes in a seperate envelope, mwahahaha).

It comes complete with a bottle of Castillo de Anna Gran Reserva 2000 (which we're reliably informed is a 'fun little bottle of Iberian heaven'), so no Blue Nun here.

Chocolate Pizza - chocolate indulgence in 'man' form.


Chocolate Pizza - £12.95

Now chocolate is always a good fallback present but a little bit more difficult for the man in your life. Coming to the rescue is this great gift from Firebox, the chololate Pizza!

Coming in at a not-too-shabby 7 inches and covered in chocolate shavings, smarties, honeycomb balls and chocolate slices the chocolate pizza comes complete with authentic Pizza box and tasty Father's Day message. That's-a tasty-a pizza! (sorry!).

This is one Rubics cube you will be able to solve - and easily; all that's needed is a twist of the top and hey-presto, these little beuties will grind just enough pepper or salt to season that meal, and look rather snazzy to boot. Perfect for that gadget-loving cullinary genius.

Grilletto portable BBQ - a portable BBQ that actually works


Grilletto Portable BBQ - £62.99

The Grilletto Portable BBQ (for some reason called the 'Son of Hibachi' on iwoot.com) is a genius idea, and great for any man whose only stab a cooking is when it's meat and outside and there's a possibility of food poisening. Which is most.

It's portable, gets going in only a few minutes, is self cleaning(!), and thanks to a flame retardant case, can be put away hot. Everything an avid BBQ-er could want.

Photoframe Keyring - the world's most portable photo album


Photoframe keyring - £17.99

It used to be that carrying a photo of that special someone around with you meant a dog-eared picture stuffed in your wallet next to those 6 month old receipts, but not any more! The Photoframe keyring stores up to 56 photos and has a 1.4 inch screen to show off that new baby/car/holiday tan line to anyone who'll look!

PoGo Instant Photo Printer - and you thought Polaroids were old fashioned


Polaroid PoGo - £49.95

One of the great things about Polaroids, and a not so great thing about mobile phones, is how easy it is to liberate those pictures - just click and your precious photos are printed out in an instant.

Well, the PoGo intant printer brings that much needed functionality to your phone - just transfer your photo over by bluetooth or USB cable, and the PoGo will print your pics onto a 2"x3" photo with a peelable sticky back ready to stick wherever you fancy. Simple!

The best bit is, there's an inbuilt battery and refill packs are under a tenner.

Bottle Cap Tripod - stable snaps in genius fashion

Bottle Cap Tripod - £6.95

Perfect if you know any budding photographers, particularly if they have a tendency towards lugging lots of equipment around - no need for a tripod with this gadget around.

Simply pop the Bottle Cap Tripod onto the top of any screw top bottle and hey presto - instant tripod! All this for under a tenner too.

Aston Martin Driving Day - be like bond

Aston Martin Thrill Ride - £99

A great gift if you want to push the boat out and really indulge - if you know someone who fancies themself as a frustrated Jenson Button this could be perfect for them. Not much beats driving round Silverstone in a V8 Vantage, and if Silverstone's not nearby there are lots of other tracks available.

Freeloader Solar Charger - Give free energy!

Freeloader solar charger - £29.95

Who says solar panels aren't affordable? Admittedly the Freeloader won't be *quite* enough to power your washing machine, but it will do a fine job of recharging your mobile phone or powering your ipod if you're in a pickle.

The best bit is you can charge up the freeloader when it's sunny, and it'll hold that charge ready to power your gadget later on - whatever the weather! It also comes with an array of different adapters to charge all iPods and a multitude of phones.

Perfect for the gadget lover in your life.

Predator Paintball Magnum Duel - beats a spud gun, any day


Predator Paintball Magnum Duel - £7.99

A great gift for under a tenner, and perfect for that big (or not so big) kid who thinks dressing in camoflage and chucking paint at their mates counts as a hobby.

Whilst these guns (you get two in a pack) are intended for target practice only, the paint is non-toxic, water soluble and biodegradable so that inevitable collateral damage will always wash off ok.

There are also no batteries or CO2 to worry about and refils cost from just £3.99.

Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker - cooler than a pestle and mortar


Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker - £14.50

Sounds like a gimmic - TV chef re-invents something that probably didn't need reinventing, but in actual fact it's really very useful.

The flavour shaker does everything a pestle and mortar does, but it's also great for salad dressings. John Lewis are now selling a rather nice red version, or if you're feeling decadent, there's one in gold too.

The inflatable beer bucket - mmmmm, beer.


Inflatable Beer Bucket - £7.99

Another good one for the boys, and under a tenner too, the inflatable beer bucket is ideal for festival and BBQ season - it can hold up to 30 cans of beer and fill it with ice to keep everything nice and chilled during that scorching summer we're going to have. Probably.

And when you're done, just pull out the plug and it'll store away for another day.

The mystery box - for when you *really* don't know what to buy

The Mystery Box - £19.95 or £29.95

I can confirm that this is a great gift if you're really stuck for ideas - I bought one for my dad only a few months ago and he was a very happy boy.

The premise is simple - choose either the £19.95 or the £29.95 version and your lucky recepient will get a box full of firebox gadget-y goodness, the catch being neither of you know what's going to be inside. Plus you can save up to £12 off the RRP of whatever's in there

Saving money *and* an original gift that's a bit of a talking point. Genius!
