Not only are these five gadgets fun silly gifts, they’ll also be five of the most re-used prankster gifts that you can give this Christmas.

You may think to yourself that buying any of these prank fuelling, silly gifts is the last thing you want to do, as it will only serve to encourage mischief. However, think of it this way, once a prankster always a prankster, so no matter how much you try and get them to stop, they won’t. Instead, get on their side, you’ll gain mega brownie points, which will result in you not being a target in any future pranks – well, at least not for a little while!

Buying gifts in general poses a familiar question: ‘what do I buy?’. But when it comes to buying gifts for Christmas, which ultimately means buying a gift for more than one person, many of us seem to get really stuck. Now, there’s an even more complicated question. Take ‘what do I buy…’ and add ‘for him’ on the end. Yep, this is where it becomes a real head-scratcher. Women seem to be easy to buy for, but when it comes to gifts for him then it tends to get a little trickier, so here’s a couple winning ideas.

First things first, how many times have you seen change here, there and everywhere around you home? If you’re growing  tiresome of having to constantly pick it up and pile it up then the Electronic Coin Sorter priced at £22.99 is just what you need to buy him. This Electronic Coin Sorter fills up to £113, so this is a definite incentive for him to want to put his loose change somewhere safe and another incentive to save! It only requires 3 x C batteries and it works so easily; all he has to do is drop his change in the top (not on the desk or down the back of the sofa), switch it on and watch the machine do the rest. It’ll sort the money into the correct denominators and put the change in the correct tubes. If he gets so into sorting his money that it becomes a ‘collecting frenzy’ and he ends up putting in too much, no need to worry, as there’s an overflow tray. When he’s ready, he can just lift the tubes out, pour the coins straight into money bags and head to the bank. Sorted!

Our next suggestion is something that will be a definite winner. Guys are known for their love of helicopters, but not everyone gets to fly a real one. So, how about the Gyro Stealth Attack RC Helicopter as a gift for him this Christmas, priced at £34.99? It may not be the real thing, but its gyroscopic stabiliser means when it’s airborne it imitates a real chopper! One of the great features about RC helicopters is the mischief he can get up to as he stealthily plays pranks on his friends or family members; however, the great feature about this particular RC helicopter is that it has two missile launchers located on either side! Getting up to mischief will never be the same for him after he’s played with the Gyro Stealth Attack RC Helicopter. And just so he can get a bit of practise in, there are two cardboard tank cut-outs for him to test his firing skills on.

‘I want this…’ and ‘I want that…’ are normally the most quoted phrases around this time of year and we’re sure you know that having to buy gifts for so many people can put quite a strain on one’s bank account. At Deviltronics we’ve thought about and prepared for this. When you start to make your Christmas wishlist, help the ones buying presents for you by listing some Cheap Gifts.

We tend to go for the term cheap and cheerful, because you will be, cheerful, if you get anything out of our cheap gifts range in your stocking!

So, you ask yourself, what are these cheap gifts we speak of? Well, if you fancy adding some character to your home, or giving your guests something to natter about, there’s the Bulb Tree Colour Changing Lamp for £14.99. What’s so good about it?

But wait, it doesn’t stop there, it’s also sound activated, so as soon as you get some tunes going your lights will be grooving to the beat.

If you’re the forgetful type, always misplacing your keys and then frantically searching every nook and cranny for them just as you’re about to head out the door, then our Barking Dog Key Finder, for a mere £7.99, is one to go on your list for sure. Forget turning the place upside down, simply clap your hands three times and this little doggy will start yapping away, revealing his hiding place (it’s almost like a game – you clap, he barks, but don’t get carried away or you’ll be late!). His helpfulness doesn’t stop there either; the Barking Dog Key Finder also has an illuminating nose. So, when you’re trying to find that lock in the dark, this man’s best friend is there to help.

The next recommendation out of our cheap gifts range is the Fuel Cell Car Kit for £12.99. This nippy little cool blue and white runner is miles of fun. It comes flat packed giving you the opportunity to jump into the engineers seat and start building before you whizz it off.

It’s nearly that time again, when we all run around like headless chickens trying to buy gifts for Christmas. Even though it can be fun, there’s always the irritating question: ‘What do I buy?’, as you remember your partners, dads or brothers face when, last year, they unwrapped yet another packet of socks or a knitted jumper! This time why not give him them unusual gift, something more exciting… At Deviltronics we have gifts for men that will put a genuine smile on their faces.

We’re all big kids at heart, so one of our popular gifts for men is the 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot. It comes flat packed, so it’ll give them something to build whilst learning about the basics of robotic technology. This robot is fun, entertaining and will definitely keep them busy. The beauty of this gift is that it can be transformed, so it’s almost like you’re buying three gifts for the price of one! If they get bored of using it as the Forklift or the novelty wears off (as it does with most things) there’s always the option to modify into the two other models – the Rover or Gripper – thanks to the different track modules; providing even more hours of fun.

So, forget about the traditional gifts for men and plant this 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot Kit under the tree, but don’t forget the 4AA batteries, as they’re not included – we don’t think shops are open on Christmas day!
