Notice anything different about us today? Nope, it's not a new haircut - it's a whole new design!
We recently decided that the Gadget Inspector website needed a new coat of paint, and that's exactly what we've given it. As much as we loved our old orange look (may it rest in peace)...
...time marches on, and we want a website that's sleek and modern and hip. You know, like our customers!
As you can see, we've packed this slick new website with dozens of colourful images. These pretty pictures aren't just there to look good - they're here to demonstrate how awesome our gadgets are, and how they could enrich your life.
So...what do you think? Whether you love it or loathe it, we want YOUR feedback on our new website, and we want it now! Here are some of the ways in which you can make your thoughts known:
Gadget Inspector on Twitter // Gadget Inspector on Facebook
Gadget Inspector on Google+
And don't worry if our stunning new site has left you speechless - we've prepared for that eventuality. Simply copy 'n' paste one of the following pre-written responses into your preferred social media app:
- The new Gadget Inspector website looks so good that all other human endeavour looks like a pile of pants by comparison.
- Who was responsible for the new Gadget Inspector design? I need a new theme for my LiveJournal and I love what you guys have going on!
- I never want to stop looking at the new Gadget Inspector website. Even the sight of my own children now fills me with melancholy, for their smiling faces contain not a fraction of Gadget Inspector's newfound beauty.
- Is it possible for a human being to love a website? When it looks as good as GadgetInspector.co.uk now does...yes, I think it is.
- Please may I have a framed copy of the new Gadget Inspector homepage for my bedroom wall? I want it to be the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last thing I see before I go to bed.
- To whom it may concern: I am writing to complain about the new Gadget Inspector website, which is so attractive that I got pregnant just looking at it.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Bored of 'Drink While You Think' and 'Never Have I Ever'? Looking for a kickass new drinking game to play this weekend? We've got the perfect solution, and its name is BEER PONG. Perhaps you've heard of it.
Beer pong is huge - hugemongous, in fact - in the States, but it's still a pretty new concept here in Blighty. In case you're unfamiliar, here's a quick primer:
You will need:
- 12 pong cups
- 2 water cups
- 2 ping-pong balls
- A table (preferably a proper beer pong table)
- 2 or more players
- Lots of beer!
Note that our American Beer Pong Set contains more or less everything you'll need for a game of beer pong.
How to play:
- At both ends of the table, arrange 6 cups in a pyramid formation (1 at the front, 3 at the back, 2 in the middle).
- Pour beer into each of the 12 cups. Keep the two water-filled cups nearby in case the balls need a wash.
- Players stand at either end of the table, taking it in turns to throw their ball at the other player's cups.
- If your opponent's ball lands in your cup, you have to drink the contents of that cup and remove it from play.
- The first player to run out of cups is the loser.
Those are just the basics, mind you. There are endless variations and additional rules - some people will tell you get an extra shot every time you sink a ball, which means that, if you've got crazy good aim, it's possible to clear the whole table before your opponent has even had a turn. Others enforce the '3 Misses, 1 Cup' rule, which means that you lose a cup if you miss three shots in a row (this is a good way to speed the game along!)
Now, once you've mastered beer pong in its most rudimentary form, you'll probably start itching for a new challenge. And that, dear reader, is where we can help - here are some twists on the classic beer pong format that will push even the most seasoned pong veteran to the limits:
Twist Pong
Spin the spinner after every successful shot - anything could happen, including trick shots, cups coming back into play, and players SWITCHING SIDES of the table!
Shot Glass Pong
Can you land a shot when the cups are teeny-tiny?
If your kids haven't already gone back to school, well, don't worry - it won't be long now! In the meantime, here are 4 awesome school accessories from the Gadget Inspector website:
DIY Calculator
Why send you son or daughter into school with the same boring calculator as everyone else? This DIY Calculator allows the owner to decorate and doodle on it as they please - they can even write the numbers on in their own unique style!
Vitapens Highlighters
Highlighters always come in handy, no matter what subjects you're taking or which exams you're studying for. These cool highlighter pens are shaped like vitamin pills, and you get loads of different colours in the tub.
Slap-It-On Watch
Remember slap bracelets? They were all the rage in the '90s - you just slapped them on your wrist, and by some black magic, they curled around your arm to form a gaudy fashion accessory. The 'Slap-It-On' Watch follows the same basic principle, and it tells the time, too - no more losing track of time and showing up late to Geography!
Retro Superman Bag
Every pupil needs a bag, of course (for books and pens and bits of lint), and you'll struggle to find a more striking school bag than this spectacular Superman design. Perfect for comic book fans!
Man, Tuesdays are the worst, right? At least you can spend Monday talking about what you did over the weekend - Tuesday is just a no man's land, lightyears from the warm embrace of Friday.
But we at Gadget Inspector want to change your attitude towards The Lamest Day of the Week. It's time to stop seeing Tuesday as a thankless slog when it's really the PERFECT TIME TO START PREPARING FOR THE WEEKEND. Think about it - The Perfect Weekend doesn't just happen without a bit of forward planning. As Confucius once said:
"He who waits 'til Friday lunchtime to make plans for Friday night will end up spending Friday in his jammies, watching old Simpsons episodes on his own."
- Confucius, probably
However, the man who starts planning his weekend on Tuesday is pretty much guaranteed to have the time of his life. Conveniently enough, we've just added a bunch of new drinking accessories to the Gadget Inspector catalogue - why not start with these, and take it from there?
Yard of Ale Glass
Drink a whole yard of ale and find out whether you're a 'Wimp' or a 'Solid Legend'. What better way to kick off your weekend?
Chemistry Shot Glasses
If you're gonna do shots, you might as well do 'em from miniature lab beakers. Oh, and if you want the full set of scientific drinking paraphernalia, check this out...
Erlenmeyer Flask Decanter
It's the perfect way for science boffins to store their wines and spirits!
Manly Bar Tools
If the party is happening at your house this Friday, somebody's bound to ask you for a bottle opener at some point. How cool will you feel when you hand them a bottle opener that's shaped like a HAMMER?
LED Bar Caddy
We've saved the best 'til last - this revolving drinks caddy has room for 4 different bottles, and it lights up when you pour, AND it's spring-loaded to give a perfect 1.5oz shot without any effort on your part! How awesome is that?
We hope that's given you a few good ideas for the coming weekend. And next time you come down with a case of The Tuesday Blues, remember: you're never more than 120 hours from the next weekend!
