Hey! Remember a year or two ago when the Harry Potter wand was released? And then the Magic Wand Remote arrived, which made you look like a badass wizard AND could change the TV channel? Yeah, I could never work that thing. I'm hoping my lack of skill (or ability to read instructions properly) … [Read more...]
Tetris Light: Stackable table lamp for gaming nerds
It's a miracle we've all managed to live this long without Tetris Lights (£29.99, Firebox) in our lives. When we look back, we'll view it as a time when we had to struggle on through the miseries of life, our existence shrouded in a dark funk that only a table lamp in the shape of Tetriminos … [Read more...]
Star Wars gubbins you don’t really need
You don't really need a load of Star Wars guff for your house. But "need" and "want" are two TOTALLY different things. I mean, I "need" a dental check, but you don't see me posting pictures of teeth on my Pinterest page, do you? No. So without further ado, here's a round up of all the good Star … [Read more...]
Eton’s Solar iPod Speakers
The off-grid lifestyle really appeals to me. Not in an "I'm a neo-nazi and I don't want to pay taxes" type way, but in a "I'd like to live in a cabin in the woods and make furniture out of hazel twigs" type way. So, when something like the Eton Soulra XL Solar Powered iPod Speaker Dock (£199.99, … [Read more...]
Dork Adore Gift Guide: The Music Fan
Depending on your own taste in music, buying for a music fan is either a bit of a self-indulgent shopping dream, or hell on earth.

As you might have guessed from our Home + Home section, we love us some kitchen gadgets here at Dork Adore.

Apparently, it's summer and nothing goes with hot weather quite like ice cream (and if you've not had any sunshine, ice cream will help cheer you up!) Throw a game of catch into the equation and you've got the perfect park-based pastime. Step in, the Ice Cream Ball from Firebox. … [Read more...]
Five more gadgets for camping
This time last year, I gave you a round up of the best gadgets for camping. I think it's time for an update, don't you? After all, everyone is camping these days. It's cheap! It's fun! The cast of The Only Way Is Essex do it! (ok, ignore that last one) So, without further ado, I give … [Read more...]
Review: Heated Gloves from Firebox
Heated gloves. Not the most exciting thing we've ever reviewed on Dork Adore, I'll grant you that. But in a country that considers a stretch of more than two consecutive days of warmth "summer", heated products are a highly desired item. Firebox sent me a pair of Heated Gloves, which boast a top … [Read more...]
The best gadgets for camping
You're either a camping fan or you're not. For some, the idea of getting in touch with nature, sleeping under the stars and cooking over a stove is a little slice of heaven.
