It seems like just about everyone owns a smartphone nowadays. 10 million people bought the iPhone 6 when it came out in September, and even that gargantuan figure is peanuts compared to the number of people who own Androids, Galaxies, Blackberries, Nokias, and so forth. There's no doubt about it: we are the smartphone generation, and our mobiles are just as dear to us as Benny Goodman was to our parents and grandparents.
And, with Christmas coming up, this universal obsession with all things smartphone ensures that you've got a whole bunch of great gift ideas right at your fingertips. It doesn't matter who you're shopping for, because everybody - old and young, male and femal - has a smartphone nowadays, and each of those smartphones has a whole arsenal of accessories and add-ons to go with it.
Don't know what we're talking about? Here are some choice cuts from our own Smartphone Accessories section, ranging from the relatively mundane to the utterly amazing...

We've got loads of great Batman gifts for you to choose from!
Batman has been through almost as many regenerations as Doctor Who. Between Adam West's campy performances in the '60s TV series and Christian Bale's throat-ruining turn in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, we've almost lost track of all the actors who have played The Caped Crusader - it's arguably one of the biggest roles in cinema.
Now, everybody has their own favourite Bat, but whether you prefer Michael Keaton's intensity or George Clooney's bat-nipples, we're pretty confident that you'll love our vast collection of
Batman goodies. We've got all sorts of essential items for avid Batfans, and with Christmas just around the corner, we thought that now would be a good time to show them off.
Here, then, are five awesome gift ideas for the Bat-lover in your life:

If you work in an office, there's a strong chance that you'll be somebody's Secret Santa this Christmas. You know the drill: you pull a name out of a hat, and then you have to buy that person a present within the given budget.
This is great fun (after all, you get a gift out of it as well) but it can be a big source of stress, especially if you don't know your co-workers all that well. It's easy to shop for your partner/children/parents because you're (hopefully) familiar with their hobbies and interests, but unless you're actually friends with the other people in your office, you may well find yourself completely stumped when it comes to Secret Santa.
Luckily for you, the Gadget Inspector gang are on hand to give you a little bit of inspiration. Even if you know next to nothing about your co-workers, we're sure to have a whole bunch of
Secret Santa presents that will pull you through. Check these out...
For the smartphone addict...
£5 Budget: Try these
Smartphone Gloves, which keep you toasty while still allowing you to operate a touch screen!
For the weekend warrior...
For the colleague who never stops eating...
£5 Budget: Give your hungry pal a
Superman Sandwich Tin and ensure that their packed lunch is always safely guarded!
£10 Budget: A
Wild Dining plate will allow your co-worker to have fun while they munch their lunch!
For the caffeine addict...
This
Take a Break Mug is sure to be a whole lot snazzier than whatever your jittery friend is currently sipping their coffee from.
For the paperwork-pusher...
£5 Budget: If you're shopping for someone who's trapped under a pile of paperwork, a Micro Tape Sticker Dispenser will make those endless documents a little more eye-catching!
£10 Budget: Alternatively, this
Bunny Stapler may go some way to brightening up their desk.
For the person who's constantly checking Facebook...

November is here again, and we all know what that means: Movember! Yes, it's that magical time of year when men from all walks of life let their moustaches grow wild and free, and all in the name of charity. Over the years, Movember has raised hundreds of millions of pounds for men's health charities, dealing a rather manly blow to the likes of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental illness. And all while looking as dapper as The Rat Pack on payday.
We're proud supporters of Movember here at Gadget Inspector, and we've decide to celebrate our favourite time of year with a mélange of magnificent moustache-themed deals. We've got a bunch of cool mo-themed products on the website, and we've knocked a tasty 10% off each and every one of 'em.
Here's what you could get for a little bit cheaper this November Movember:
This stunningly stylish
Moustache Suit is usually
£59.95, but until the end of the month, you can get it for a tidy
£53.95!
Want a pint with a 'tache on it? Try this nifty
Moustache Glass - yours for just
£5.39!
Add a moustache (and a hat, and a silly pair of specs) to your favourite photos with these
In Disguise Fridge Magnets. As it's Movember, we've knocked the price down to just
£6.29!
Can't grow a moustache? No problem! Just grab one of our
ZAP Fancy Dress Kits - a snip at
£8.99 each!
Oh, and since we've already got a pint glass with a 'stache, we thought we'd throw in some similarly mo-riffic mugs, too. Our cool
Moustache Mugs are currently just
£4.49 each, and each one comes with a rather hilarious message on the bottom...
Since November is already a week old, we're guessing that your Movember moustaches are already starting to come into their own! Why not share a photo with us on Twitter?
We're feeling particularly generous here at Gadget Inspector today. Maybe it's the knowledge that Christmas is just around the corner, or maybe it's just the fact that we survived another Bonfire Night without any firework-related injuries; either way, we're in the mood for a freebie or two.
If you buy any of the following items, you'll get an extra gift for absolutely NOTHING! Here's what we're giving away...
