As beautiful as our website is, sometimes the only way to really show off our favourite gadgets is to open the box and mess around with them. Today, we've been messing around with the Click Stick - it's a photo-taking device (compatible with iPhones and Android devices) that's specifically designed to take the best selfies ever!

Want to learn more? Read on, cowboy...


Here's our selfie stick, fresh out of its box. Notice the handy wrist strap, which is a very important feature if you're the kind of person who's constantly dropping things.

Click Stick cradle

This is where you put your phone when you want to take a selfie. The cradle is spring-loaded, which means that you don't have to fiddle around with screws or anything like that to get a secure grip on your smartphone. Once the phone is in the cradle, all you have to do is plug that cable into your headphone port.

Extended selfie stick

As you can see, this telescopic selfie stick has some serious extension! In the photo on the left, the Click Stick is fully retracted (about 20cm long). In the image on the right, we've extended it to its full length - roughly one metre! This means that you really can fit everybody in the photo; it's perfect for weddings, parties, and any other big 'group photo' occasion.

Click stick button

The best thing about the Click Stick is its simplicity. You don't have to download any apps or change any settings - you literally just plug it in and start snapping away! Once the cable is connected to your headphone socket, you simply press the button on the handle to take a photo. No, we're not sure how it works either, but it's very cool!

Gadget Inspector selfie

Here's the selfie that we took with the Click Stick (don't Andrew and Jon look amazed?!) We've just tweeted this picture using the hashtag #clickstick, and we encourage you to do the same once you've got a Click Stick of your own!

5 of Our Most Unusual Gifts
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:

The Great Garden Gnome Massacre
Garden gnomes are boring, but giant monsters who eat garden gnomes? Much more interesting, and a fabulously unusual Christmas gift.
Erlenmeyer Flask Drinks Decanter
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.
Canar DESIGNER: Duck Money Bank
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!
