A selection of Anchorman gifts

In case our website's festive new look didn't tip you off, we'll spell it out: Christmas is coming, and it's time to start preparing! We've got plenty of great Christmas gift ideas here at Gadget Inspector, but if you happen to be shopping for someone who's a big fan of the movie Anchorman, you don't even need to bother browsing. We've got a slew of brilliant gifts for that person right here!

The Channel 4 News Team Mug [no longer available] is more than a mere coffee receptacle. It will make you look and feel like a bona fide member of San Diego's favourite news squad, and whatever you're drinking, it will always go down smooth!

Of course, if you'd prefer a slightly stronger beverage, the Anchorman Mini Scotch Glasses [no longer available] may be more appropriate. Each one is emblazoned with one of the many endlessly quotable lines that made Anchorman such a smash-hit, including the immortal "Mm. I just burned my tongue" and of course, "I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch."

Finally, we come to the Anchorman Moustache and Wallet Set. With the Ron Burgundy-esque moustache stuck on your upper lip, you'll be so attractive as to make Sinatra look like a hobo. You'll also get a sumptuous leather-bound wallet, allowing you to store your cash safely and perhaps buy a new suit (yay!)

Any Anchorman fan would be thrilled to find that stack of loot under the tree on Christmas morning, but don't worry if your loved ones aren't familiar with the legendary antics of Ron Burgundy and his team - there are plenty of other brilliant presents to be found here at Gadget Inspector.

Doctor Who and Star Wars gadget deals

Doctor Who will soon be celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special episode called The Day of the Doctor, which will feature the return of David Tennant and Billie Piper as well as current stars Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman. From there, it won't be long before we get to meet Peter Capaldi, the newest incarnation of everyone's favourite time lord.

Meanwhile, that deal with Disney has breathed new life into the Star Wars franchise - a new movie is due out in 2015, and original cast members like Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Harrison Ford (Han Solo) are rumoured to be coming along for the ride.

Geeky models wearing colourful Christmas jumpers

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a few colourful Christmas jumpers. Here's what Gadget Inspector have got for you to wear this festive seasons - any of these jumpers would go beautifully with the paper crown from your Christmas cracker!

Red Reindeer Jumper

There was a time when red-nosed reindeers were stigmatised; nowadays they are celebrated, each and every Christmastime! This ravishing Red Reindeer Christmas Jumper is the perfect way to pay tribute to Rudolph and his Christmas Eve heroics all those years ago.

 

Pink Penguin Jumper

Okay, so we've got a picture of a woman modelling this one, but pink isn't just for the ladies, y'know! This cute Penguin Jumper would look stunning on more or less anybody; if you're a big fan of Happy Feet or March of the Penguins, this is the only Christmas jumper for you.

 

Blue Snowman Jumper

We know what you're thinking: 'Surely it can't be Christmas already?!' Well no, not quite yet, but it's never too early to start preparing!

The boffins here at Gadget Inspector have been knocking their heads together all morning, and they've come up with this list of Christmas tips. Not the kind you might give your bin men, mind you; just a few Gadget Inspector products that will put big smiles on little faces when Christmas morning finally comes. Children and adults alike will be thrilled to find this heap of loot under the tree on December the 25th!

 

Remote control quadrocopter

Micro Drone Quadrocopter 2.0
 
No Christmas Day would be complete without a remote control helicopter, and the magnificent Micro Drone is top of the heap! It's super-speedy, super-stable, and it can even be fitted with a camera (sold separately)!

Does it need batteries? No, it comes with its own battery. All you have to do is charge it up!

 

Inflatable R2-D2 and Android

RC Inflatable R2-D2 and RC Inflatable Android [no longer available]
Some kids want a puppy or a kitten for Christmas, but if you don't want the responsibility of looking after a pet, these cute remote control characters are the next best thing! R2-D2 makes a great gift for Star Wars fans, while the RC Android will be a huge hit with anyone who's glued to their smartphone! And then there's the Remote Control Inflatable Minion - it hasn't arrived yet, but it will be here before long, and if you know someone who loved the Despicable Me films, we're pretty confident that this will make their Christmas!

Do they need batteries? Yes: a 9V battery for the remote control handset, and 4 AA batteries for the robot itself.

 

Tetris light

Tetris Light
One of the guys in the Gadget Inspector office got this for Christmas last year, and he loves the nerdy ambience it adds to his bedroom. Stack the Tetris blocks anyway you like, and be amazed when they light up! A great gift for retro gamers.

Does it need batteries? Nope - just plug it straight into the mains.

 

Assorted robo fish

Robo Fish

Here's another great alternative to getting your children an actual pet: the amazing Robo Fish (as seen on TV!) The fish come in all kinds of cool colours, and they'll never need to be fed!

Do they need batteries? Batteries are included.

 

Remote control combat creature

Combat Creatures Attacknid [no longer available]

So robotic fish and inflatable droids don't float your boat? In that case, here's a slightly more radical selection from our remote control section: the Attacknid! It shoots flying discs, walks around like a real spider, and if it gets hit by another Attacknid, the armour pops off. Get two and have a great big robot war this Christmas!

Does it need batteries? Each Attacknid needs 6 AA batteries to function.


Of course, we're only scratching the surface here. There are all kinds of other awesome gift ideas to be found here at Gadget Inspector, so if you haven't seen anything you like yet, head back to our homepage and see what else we've got!

Oh, and don't forget the stocking fillers!

No, we're not sure why Captain America looks so much shorter than the others either. Still, no need to dwell on that bit of bafflement, because we come bearing good news! We've just added an array of awesome Avengers costumes to the Gadget Inspector site, which is great news for any comic book and/or movie fans with costume parties coming up! We're told there's some sort of big fancy dress occasion pencilled in towards the end of October, for starters...

  • Our Thor costume is ideal for anyone who's interested in Greek mythology, the comic books that were derived from those myths, and the blockbuster movies that were based on those comics. We can't provide the hammer, unfortunately, and nor do we have the necessary licence to sell you the power over lightning. We can give you muscles, though; big foam muscles that will make you look just like Chris Hemsworth.
  • Then we have our Iron Man costume - we hope red is your colour! If you loved watching Robert Downey Jr. zooming around while AC/DC played in the background, you'll go nuts for this outfit; it's second only to the Iron Man suit built by Tony Stark himself.
  • We all get angry sometimes, but very few of us have experienced the phenomenon known as 'hulking'. If you want that to happen, your best bet is our Hulk costume - not unlike the Thor outfit, it comes with a padded muscle chest that might convince people you go to the gym every so often.
  • And finally, there's our Captain America costume. Perhaps not anyone's first choice (all the cool kids want to be Iron Man, surely?) but his film was the best and that's why he still has a place in our hearts.

Whether you just need your own costume or a group costume idea that you can tackle with a few friends, our Avengers costumes truly are awesome. Don't forget to order yours in time for Halloween!
