Top Celeb Dad’s and What We’d Buy Them For Father’s Day

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

As grateful sons and daughters across the country should know only too well, June 19 is Father’s Day, a day to honour the perennially grumpy, DIY obsessed, eternally lawn mowing head of your household.

Now we know not all of you banked on having to buy your Dad a Gift this year, but given that we all survived the Rapture, our attention now focuses on showing that ‘old geezer’ in the armchair that we love and care for him (probably thrusting a present into his hands on his way to the fridge before the Grand Prix starts)

So from heart warming gifts to simple token gestures here at IWOOT towers we have compiled some great gift ideas suitable for all types of Daddy, Father, male parent, pops, papa, poppy!

Is your dad a RETRO dad?

Food envy: Angry Birds cupcakes

Could someone please make the IWOOT team some of these please:

We can’t get enough of these fuming fowls whether it’s on the iPhone or the cuddly, all most real-life versions, but having seen these cupcakes (check out all the other attempts on Google: search ‘Angry Birds cupcakes’) we’re now partially obsessed with eating a cupcake with an Angry Bird on it.

Review of the Month Winner for April

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

We’ve had a tonne load of reviews for the products you rate the best (or if you’ve been honest, the not so good) this month and as usual we’ve read through them all and selected one lucky winner. Our thanks go to GarryBacon who produced this thorough review of the ZAGGmate iPad Case & Keyboard and walks away with £100 of IWOOT vouchers. Not bad for stringing a few sentences together.

“Practicality, Simplicity and Ingenious!

Those three words sum up this product. It’s Practical because you can get the Apple Keyboard Dock but you have to carry that around additionally and it’s bulky. This is a keyboard and case. The keyboard is bluetooth so you can have the orientation set to how you want it. It’s simple to pair, use and pack away, my nan can do it! It’s just ingenious in the way everything fits together to form what is effectively a very strong protector for the front of the iPad. Another thing is it’s cheap! A bluetooth keyboard and a good case costs more than this and with this your getting a case and keyboard that are made for each other. The design is so nice because it’s the exact same aluminium they use to make the iPad. If you get this case you will be as happy and as proud to own one as I am. I would really recommend this to anyone and everyone!”

ZAGGmate iPad Case & Keyboard

This could be you next month, so do keep reviewing your purchases – you could win big (£100 to be exact)!

Ironing is more fun when you do it on the motorway

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Many of you will agree that ironing isn’t one of the most exciting things to do. But some wacky people in the East Midlands (UK) discovered, back in 1997, that if you do your ironing in an unusual location and call it extreme then it becomes all that more fun. We’re not convinced you’d leave with perfectly ironed collars and crease-free trousers though.

Today we saw one EI (extreme ironer) make the headlines as he planted board on ground and placed iron to shirt in the middle of the M1 (one of the UK’s busiest motorways). For those of you unaware, the M1 has been causing havoc in recent days as it has been shut due to a fire, so the mystery ironer was playing safe all along. So the question is, does that actually class as extreme ironing?

IWOOT’s New Clothes

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

In a similar fashion to the tale of The Emperor’s New Clothes, IWOOT’s two weavers (actually a design team of about 5 strong) have been grafting away to reveal a jazzy new site which we’re actually quite impressed with. Good work team.

Unlike The Emperor’s New Clothes (which didn’t actually exist, remember the story?) our new site is there in all its glory and we’d like you to take a look and tell us what you think about it.

Click on the image below to be swept away to pastures new or if you prefer the old fashioned way type www.iwoot.com into white bit on top of your browser.

More Google Street View Stuff – This Time, Weight Loss

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Cripes. So it’s not enough that Google Street View can now catch criminals in the act, now it’s good for life-improvement as well. The man in this image from the popular routefinder/stalker’s favourite has reportedly turned his life around and lost 7 stone after seeing himself as the rest of the world does:

Thanks to some nifty dieting and a bit of exercise (there really is no better way), this rotund self-regarder proves that there are potentially no limits to the good Google Street View can do (we are not sponsored by Google). So when’s the bad stuff going to start happening? People discovering affairs, working out who ran over their dogs, that kind of thing? Surely it’s only a matter of time…
