It's Friday, folks! The weekend is mere hours away, and we're in a pretty generous mood. Oh, and obviously, all we can think about right now is getting nice and drunk.
All of which has resulted in not one but TWO awesome drinking-themed deals. We've got some truly great discounts ready to kick off your weekend - read on to find out more!
RRP: £149.99 Sale Price: £70
This professional-standard beer pong table has long been one of the most expensive items in the Gadget Inspector catalogue, but since it's almost the weekend, we've decided to cut that price in half...and then some!
Usually £149.99, the Headrush Beer Pong Table is currently going for just
£70. Oh, and we'll even throw in a free
beer pong set, just to sweeten this already-pretty-sweet deal!
RRP: £69.99 Sale Price: £40
Not content with having slashed the price on our beer pong table, we then proceeded to likewise with this awesome six-way beer bong. Bongzilla would usually set you back the best part of £70, but as we've already established, everyone here at Gadget Inspector is in a generous, weekendy sort of mood this afternoon.
So what have we done? We've knocked almost £30 off Bongzilla's price! This colossal drinking accessory is now going for just £40 - if six of you were to chip in and buy a Bongzilla for your next party, it would currently cost you less than £7 each!
If THAT doesn't start your weekend on the right foot, we're frankly not sure what will! Enjoy your days off, people of Great Britain, and we'll see you on Monday (assuming we haven't drunk ourselves blind by then!)
Even the shrewdest of shoppers will occasionally come unstuck. There's always that one friend or relative who just seems impossible to buy for - there's nothing they want, they don't have any well-documented hobbies or obsessions for you to work with, and you wouldn't feel comfortable palming them off with something as clichéd as a bottle of shower gel or a box of Quality Street.
Our advice? Get them something so unique and unusual that they can't fail to be bowled over by your generosity. Here are 5 appropriately unusual gift ideas from the Gadget Inspector catalogue:
Garden gnomes are boring, but giant monsters who eat garden gnomes? Much more interesting, and a fabulously unusual Christmas gift.
Is your hard-to-shop-for pal a bit of a science boffin? If so, they're bound to love this drinks decanter, which looks just like something you'd find in a laboratory! It's perfect for wine, spirits, and mutagenic mad scientist chemicals.
If your esoteric giftee drives a car, your search for the perfect gift is over: just get them a SoundRacer gadget! It replicates the sound of a Lamborghini Gallardo, so your buddy will feel just like they're driving a real sports car instead of a banged-up Passat.
Everyone needs somewhere to park their bum at the end of a hard day's work, and this inflatable Rubik's Cube is far more colourful than any armchair, stool, or beanbag we've ever come across.
We all need somewhere to put our loose change, right? These ducky banks are available in four different designs: Disco, Grass, Bamboo, and ARMY TANK!
Not unusual enough for you? Check out our Gift Ideas section for further inspiration.
Thank goodness for
mugs, eh? Not only do they give us a practical way to drink hot beverages, they also make excellent gifts for people who are otherwise impossible to buy for.
You see, regardless of hobbies, interests, upbringing, and any other factors you'd care to name, just about everybody can appreciate a good mug. Tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are exceedingly widespread pleasures, and even if you're shopping for some kind of freak who doesn't like any of those drinks...well, mugs can hold other things too. Soup, for example. Or alcohol.
Naturally, the humble mug's status as a universally appropriate gift choice has spawned millions of different varieties. There really is a novelty mug for everyone nowadays, and with Christmas just around the corner, a shrewdly-chosen mug could be just what you need to complete your seasonal shopping. Here are a few suggestions from Gadget Inspector's own collection...
Perfect for: Comic book fans (Marvel), movie buffs, friends with anger management issues.
Perfect for: Overworked colleagues, highly-strung relatives, fire wardens.
Perfect for: Star Wars geeks, your dad, other people's dads.
Perfect for: avid golfers, sports fans, people who might enjoy running their fingers over that tactile dimpled surface.
Perfect for: Comic book fans (DC), vigilantes, bat fetishists.
Perfect for: Hypochondriacs.

Everybody loved the Despicable Me films, right? And everybody is SUPER excited for the Minions movie that's slated for release next summer, right?!
That's what we thought. Well, we've got good news for everybody: there's a brand new toy in town, and he looks suspiciously similar to those little yellow critters you love so much...
Yes, our
Inflatable RC Minion toy is BACK IN STOCK, and he's had a big of a makeover since last time he was here. For one thing, he looks a lot more like his movie counterparts now - who could resist those big brown eyes and that adorably cheeky grin?
But that's not the only improvement, no sir. The best thing about our new minion toy is not how he looks...but how he sounds.
That's right: this is a TALKING minion toy, and he's just itching to say hello to you! He says nine different phrases, all in the original minion voice from the movies. Being a minion, most of what he says is gibberish, but recognisable sayings include "Banana!", "Whaaat?" and "Woohoo!", along with various laughing, kissing, sighing and babbling noises.
Of course, some things don't need to be changed: our minion toy is still super-cute, super-squishy, and very easy to inflate. You can play with him anywhere - indoors or out - and the RC controller allows you to steer him forwards, backwards, left or right. He can perform 360-degree pirouettes, and if he falls down, he'll get right back up again, all by himself!
