The vast array of new toys, clothes, and jewelry available is enough to make you scratch your head. However, one category of gifts that is becoming increasing popular is novelty and gadget gifts. It appears that there is an appetite for something that is a bit out off the ordinary, quirky and fun.

Below are just some of the best selling gadget gifts for birthdays.

Finger Drums

This miniature life-like finger drums set is a very popular birthday gift for the boys. It comes fully equipped with large and small tom-tom, bass drum with miniature foot pedal, snare and cymbal, nothing short of the real thing. This desktop drum kit has both a record and a freestyle function so you can either drum away or sit listen to the catchy tune of the demo.

T-Equalizer T-Shirt

The sound activated T-Equalizer shirt appeals to both children and adults alike. Even the ladies can now enjoy the new TQ Heart design which is stylish and figure hugging. These electro-luminescent design T-shirts have an EQ panel connected to a battery pack and is sound activated. Each Equalizer bar reacts differently depending on sound frequency. The makers of these fantastic shirts have also introduced the wi-fi detector shirts which will pick up wi-fi hotspots. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Even if you are not a gadget fan, you’ll no doubt agree that these are genius inventions.

Gelli Baff

If you are looking for something that is unusual, fun and guaranteed to be loved by all kids, Gelli Baff is the gift to buy. Gelli Baff is the award-winning product from the UK that turns bath water into jelly. Gelli baff is a harmless powder which holds 400 times its own weight in water. A similar substance is used in disposable nappies. The dissolver sachet contains pure table salt, the same as you put on your chips! For those who are worried about disposing of this goo down the drain, the dissolver turns the jelly back to liquid for easy disposal down the drain.

Flying Alarm Clock

This is one of those gifts that your receiver is either going to love or hate. Whatever the reaction you can’t deny the interesting and funny appeal of this gadget. When the alarm sounds the propeller is launched up into the air & flies around the room. To turn off the alarm you’ll have to get up, find it & return it to the base. If this won’t get you out of bed, then nothing will!

As more people join the environmentally friendly band wagon, the demand for interesting “green” novelty products have also attracted much interests. One extremely popular product is the Tyvek Wallets. Made of Tyvek, 25% recyled material, these wallets are themselves recyclable. They are expandable, strong, lightweight and thin, not to mention stylish. Numerous designs are available to cater for different tastes. The Tyvek wallet is also water resistant and will protect against the humidity in your pocket which destroys leather. This is truly an eco-friendly novelty wallet!
