Advantages: Great, fun items Disadvantages: Poor service if things don't go smoothly
You CAN now track your order status online - that's how I found out they weren't going to deliver it when promised. If you call to complain then the staff are friendly but completely unhelpful.
I paid for next day delivery but there was a 4 day backlog for packing that they never informed me of.. As next day was Friday I called and was promised they'd send it for Saturday. When I called back I was told that I hadn't paid for Saturday delivery so ... ...them that told me they would.
They do have agreat selection of gifts, they are a bit pricey but interesting but their customer service only works if everything goes smoothly - otherwise they revert to some dreadful script and don't follow through on promises.
I won't be using them again - there are plenty of others out there with the same variety of items and better customer service ...

Advantages: Great delivery, reasonable prices, good customer service. Disadvantages: You don't appear to be able to track your purchases.
The tagline for iwoot reads "things you don't really need, but really really want" in many ways this sums up the whole iwoot concept. I stumbled upon this website when i was searching for quirky gift ideas that would be something a bit different. Iwoot did not disappoint with it's eclectic range of bizarre and interesting gift ideas. Iwoot supplies everything from watches to designer furniture and a whole lot in between. THe sections of the website ... ...Lifestyle and home (clocks etc.) kitsch and daft, great outdoors(survival tools, office toys and adventures (red letter days etc.). With speedy, cheap delivery and incredibly good customer service iwoot stands well above the rest. Iwoot also has a dedicated gift finder that is extremely good at finding the perfect gift. The website is updated daily and security appears to be excellent. Interesting gifts at reasonable prices. ...

Advantages: Fast delivery, great choice of products Disadvantages: None
I was having a conversation with my boyfriend when we got together not that long ago and he mentioned that he loves remote controlled gadgets (or any gadgets at all come to think of it) so i thought that as he's a big kid at heart i'd have a browse and see if i could find something suitable for a Christmas present for him (i love to be organised so start my shopping early)
Having decided i didn't want to get him a car as i think that's too common ... ...described as the smallest and lightest remote controlled helicopter in the world. So i thought this sounded perfect for him. Having browsed around at sites online to find a good price i settled on the site I Want One Of Those. The website itself is a purple background with a white background down the centre. It's full of loads of groovy gadgets and the motto of the site sums it up very well 'stuff you don't need, but realy really want'. It's very ...

Advantages: Some great items, always good for a laugh Disadvantages: Somethings are really pricey, you should shop around if possible
This is another one of those online shops that sell the most weird and wonderful things, and as you might have guessed from the name of the shop, it tends to make you want to buy everything!
I came across this site when looking for a Birthday present for my friend - she's the biggest kid and I was spoilt for choice. In the end I firmly settled on a pair of inflatable, remoted controlled battling robots. Now that's something I couldn't have found ... ...site describes it's items as "Stuff you don't need...but really, really want" and this pretty much sums it up perfectly. A lot of the stuff is just completely random things to make you smile, but there's also stuff for those of you out there who are feeling rather flush, such as a Personal Madame Tussauds Wax Figure, which only costs £150000...but i'm sure it's worth every penny!
All items fit nicely into one of eight categories:
-Gadgets & Gizmos

Advantages: Great for gift ideas Disadvantages: You may end up buying a lot of rubbish u don't really need
I stumbled across this website whilst looking for a birthday present for a male friend and have been hooked on it ever since. To be brutally honest it is filled with a lot of crappy toys that you don't really need but really really want.
So far, i have purchased some Cubeworld, tamagotchi esque things and some wine goblets that have a base that lights up. I also had some Oggz bought for me from there for my birthday after lots of hinting to my friends.
... ...items in perfect condition, very well packaged, just 2 days after I ordered them.
I currently have my eye on the fatboy bean bags they sell but i am too skint from christmas.
IWOOT is wonderful if you are struggling to come up with gift ideas. They even have a gift finder facility online to help you in your quest for the perfect present.
They also sell different experiences and adventures. Kind of similar to Red Letter Days, for example. ...
