Wallace and Gromit Gifts by find-me-a-gift
Wallace and Gromit Gifts: Christmas Gifts for ChildrenEverybody’s favourite plasticine inventors are back. Yes, Academy Award winning Aardman Animations have polished off Wallace & Gromits inventers caps and brought them back to our screens with a new TV show! ‘Wallace & Gromits World of Invention’ see’s Wallace in a new role â as a TV presenter! Joined by his ever faithful sidekick Gromit (now also turned camera and sound-dog) Wallace takes an eccentric look at some real-life contraptions! Here at findmeagift.com we’re going to take a look at some wonderfully inventive Wallace & Gromit contraptions too, each of which make marvellous christmas gifts for children! These presents were invented right next door to Wallace’s workshop and have both his and Gromit’s seal of approval.http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/children-gifts/presents.asp Most inventers start out by getting their ideas down on paper, so what better way to draw inspiration than with the Wallace & Gromit Pen & Pencil Toppers â Fidget Pen Top! This fabulous Fidget Pen Top is the perfect play thing for those who love to fidget! Of course anyone who knows about Wallace’s inventions will know that anything he designs is always, hmm, how shall I put it politely, er, novel? Basically Wallace likes to make new things, by adapting and utilising old things! This pen is no exception as it consists of a stress ball, maze game, catapult, flying plane, plane in a basket game and a stress level indicator! The only thing that is missing apart from the kitchen sink is a pen! This inspired Pen Topper will keep even the twitchiest of fingers and thumbs tied up with amusement for hours!Wallace is forever looking for ways to make things in life easier. The Wallace & Gromit Paper Plane Launcher makes launching paper planes an absolute doddle! It has a clockwork mechanism, so doesn’t even require batteries! Simply wind the key to start the wheels spinning, pop in a paper plane and then watch in sheer delight and pride as your paper plane is launched into the air and takes flight! You don’t need a pilot or a constructor’s license as this supreme device of the paper plane launching world comes with a set of instructions as well as 10 sheets of white A5 paper with which you can craft your paper planes! You can create your own planes or follow the included designs!We reckon that Gromit had a bigger hand in the inventing of this last gift, because just like the loyal dog, it’s entertainingly clever! The Wallace and Gromit Cracking Alarm Clock looks like the most stupendously inventive alarm clock ever crafted! It really does look as though it has been taken off Wallace’s bedside cabinet! This cracking alarm clock uses ball bearings and a cockerel alarm sound to wake you up! This awesome Alarm Clock will make you want to get up early just so that you can watch the ball bearing travel down a course, set off a wind chime, hit some silver bells and more before setting off a rooster call and finally the alarm clock bell! This novelty alarm clock doesn’t run off pedal power, but 1 x AA battery and 3 x LR44 batteries! If you’re looking for a super invention to get the kids up in the morning then get them the Wallace and Gromit Cracking Alarm Clock for Christmas!So for all these engagingly novel christmas gifts, get online to findmeagift.com â you’ll be crackers not too…..speaking of which, any more cheese there Gromit?!http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/christmas-gifts/unusual-christmas-presents-ideas.asp RegardsJessie JonesFind Me A GiftBecause giving feels good……

DarwinBot is a surrogate play partner for man’s Best Friend (Engadget)
The problem facing Microsoft developer Jordan Correa and his wife was hardly
an uncommon one. They both have full time jobs (that’s not the problem), but
they also have an adorable dog Darwin that is left alone for about eight hours
each day. Correa decided to keep his pup active and virtually bridged their
physical divide by building his own telepresence robot using Microsoft
Robotics Developer Studio, a Kinect and a pile of other parts. Jordan can
connect to his pup by dialing into the bot via Skype, allowing him to bark
commands, pilot it around the house with an Xbox 360 controller and even play
catch using the integrated ball launcher. The Parallax-powered platform can
even dispense treats and autonomously retrieve the ball with a retractable
arm. To see DarwinBot in action check out the video after the break.
