Racing Grannies

We've seen some fun wind-up toys in our time, but these old biddies really take the cake...and the cup of watered down coffee with a slice of pumpkin praline pie. Ooh yes, m'dearies, Racing Grannies are charming old ladies that are set to take the world of wind-up racing by storm.
Sold in pairs, each Racing Granny is equipped with a sleek walker, slippers and shopping basket. Simply wind 'em up, line 'em up and adjust their arms into 'race mode'. Then watch as your puttering old dearies hobble along as fast as their little legs can carry them.
Racing Grannies make great desktop companions and their handy little baskets are perfect for storing paper clips, pins and spare buttons from the collection you keep in the kitchen drawer. You can even use them to deliver things across the desk to colleagues. We've taken to sending candy. And not just any old treat but the horrible decades-old wedding mints that seniors seem to love.
Why not organize your very own office 'Gran' Prix and give your Racing Grannies suitably speedy names while you're at it? Here at the Firebox Retirement Lodge, Gertrude Schumacher and Betty Barrichello have just competed in a real nailbiter. First over the line won a tin of fruitcake, a photo of Estelle Getty and a thorough hair bleaching. Viva!
We honestly can't overemphasize just how hilarious Racing Grannies are - the second you see them in action you'll crack up. Best of all they're fun for all ages. Even elderly (and not so elderly) relatives will love them. Indeed Granny Firebox nearly fell off her Rascal when she saw them in action. So hurry up and hit Add to Cart. We reckon Racing Grannies are going to shuffle off the shelves faster than you can say 'I've juff fwallowed my falfe teef.'

WHY did I not buy 2 of these?? I bought a set to send to my Dad, and haven't wanted to break the seal on the box to try them out. Will have to wait for his reaction. Amazingly fast delivery! Thanks for the lollies, but the first one in the pack said 'Grow Up'. I said 'Not a hope in hell!'.

Racing Grannies, what a fantastic product. I have found that you have to position the feet flat (they're flexible at the ankles), and push the granny away from the zimmer (she's attached by the arms) so that she's at about a 30 degree angle leaning towards and over it, and then she'll stay upright and run like the wind.

 | Speeding Grandads
There must be funnier sights than two clockwork codgers going hell for leather in their mobility scooters but you'll forget 'em the second you see these oxygen tank-clad geezers in action. Ideal for desktop races. Damon (over the) Hill or Nigel (old) Mansell - you decide!

 | Cassette Tape Dispenser
Audio tape sucked but cassettes remain icons of retro design. So hats off to the creators of these C90 style dispensers because each hard rubber 'cassette' reels off transparent tape as opposed to a hissy top 40 countdown from 1987. Ideal for music loving office workers.
