Extreme Art & Gadgets has been based on the Isle of Man since 2004, the physical shop is located in Duke Street in Douglas. Over the years the Isle of Man has played host to many top notch sporting events and has an ever growing film industry. The owners of Extreme Art And Gadgets have certainly played their part in this. As a result and with some fantastic industry leads the shop stocks one of the best supplies of sports, movie and TV autographs that you are likely to find anywhere in the British Isles. Forget your eBay nonsense, we are talking about 100% authentic autographs from some of the most famous people on the planet. As you’d expect for a modern business – all this is available for you to buy online as well.
What I particularly like about the Extreme Art & Gadgets website is that a large number of the autographs are accompanied by authentic photographs of the signing in progress. The absolute variety of the stock should also be applauded, for you TT fans there is everything from a signed copy of the TT Centenary Year 2007 Programme (signed by no less than 21 motorcycle greats) to original artwork of over 30 TT riders. I know for a fact that Lee, one of the owners, is a huge Manchester United fan and football, in particular The Premiership is very well represented. Of course they also stock all sorts of movie and TV memorabilia.
The Gadget side of the shop concentrates mainly on big boys toys, for those of us who have no interest in growing up. Again the shear variety of items is impressive. Looking for a R2D2 Projection Alarm Clock (who isn’t?) or for a casino style automatic card shuffler? You know where to go! The great thing about Extreme Art & Gadgets is that if they don’t currently stock something that you’re looking for they are more than happy to go out and try and source it for you, this is especially true of those hard to get autographs that you may be chasing.
Overall Extreme Art & Gadgets is a Manx shop that deserves to make an impact on the internet. You can check out their online store by following the link:-

The Isle of Man is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor sports and hobbies. Right up there amongst the most popular outdoor past times on the island is Horse Riding. Horse Riders of all levels enjoy the various lanes and paths available and to meet their needs there are several suppliers of horse riding equipment available, perhaps the best known of these is Horses and Riders. Operating since 1998 their store is open 7 days a week for locals but they have now also made the jump to selling online, opening up their customer base to include the UK and possibly much further afield.
Horses And Riders supply many of the top makes of horseware including Stubben, Barnsby and Equetech. You’ll find everything you need from Jodhpurs to Flysheet’s all in one convenient online location. The range of Horse related products is to say the least impressive. Even if you’re not a Horsey person just having a browse around their online store you’ll be surprised at just how much is available, of course they also stock outdoor clothing as well making it the perfect place to pick up a new jacket. As an added bonus postage and package rates are very competitive with only a £6 charge for delivery to anywhere in the UK whilst it’s only £15 for Ireland.

Isle of Man Creameries has been going strong for many years. The creamery is run as a co-operative of family owned dairy farms and is used to not only manufacture and distribute their products locally to the Isle of Man but also to the rest of the world. If there’s one product that stands out as having global appeal it’s Manx Cheese, each year cheeses produced by the Isle of Man Creamery win awards. For example in 2009 alone they scooped 2 awards at the Tesco cheese challenge, 1 award at the Great Taste awards and 1 award at the Great Yorkshire Cheese and Dairy show.
There is no doubting that if you like your cheese with bits of stuff in it (as a great number of people seem to do, it’s not to my taste though) then the Isle of Man Creamery is the place to be. Much more than the cheese though the milk produced by the Creamery is the life blood of the Isle of Man. They allow us to have fresh milk delivered to our door steps every morning and for that pleasure only charge us the bargain basement price of 57 pence a pint. Yes, you read that correctly, 57 pence a pint, how does that compare to your milk price? It’s a wonder then that the Isle of Man Creameries online shop isn’t doing a roaring trade in milk sales!
If you’re on the Isle of Man then the Creameries online shop can be a handy way of getting local produce delivered to your door. Not everybody likes Tesco, especially on the Isle of Man. On top of the milk and award winning cheeses the Creamery can also supply Manx potatoes, eggs, butter and various juices.
If you’re looking for any t-shirts or other items of clothing related to the Isle of Man then there really is only one place you need to look – Promenade T-Shirts!
With the TT and Manx Grand Prix being such popular events Promenade T-shirts have a huge range of motorcycle racing related t-shirts to choose from. T-shirts are available in either printed or embroidery form. Obviously embroidery T-Shirts tend to wear longer. When you think of the TT you also have to think of Bushy’s and the good news is that Promenade T-Shirts also have a large range of Bushy’s clothing and merchandise for you to buy.
Away from the motor racing there is a large selection of more general Isle of Man related designs to choose from. Obviously the 3 legs are always popular but there several of the other Celtic designs which also prove to be very popular as souvenirs. Talking of which the Promenade T-Shirts online store also stock a number of Manx souvenirs and gifts including calendars, mugs, t-towels and much more.
For corporate clients (or maybe just a gang wanting some custom T-Shirts) Promenade offer a bespoke T-Shirt service so that you can have any garments made up to suite your own design spec. Perfect for corporate polo shirts, the next lads holiday etc
The T-Shirt designs available from Promenade T-Shirts are one of the most common sites around the island during the TT fortnight making them as much a part of the TT as any other Manx business! The ability to order online just makes it much easier for bike fans to get their t-shirts any time of the year, which can’t be a bad thing?
Duke Video are best known for producing official DVDs for the world famous Isle of Man TT races! This is only a tiny fraction of what they do though, in 2008 they produced 5 catalogues ranging from railways to golf. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who can remember the Havoc series of crash compilations as well. The Isle of Man is known as the road racing capital of the world and it is a passion for motorsport that shines through in each Duke powersport DVD.
For fans of the TT, Duke have every angle covered. See DVDs and Blu Rays dedicated to your favourite rider or favourite year of TT racing. For fans of other motor sport the Duke online shop provides a treasure trove, all of which can be delivered to the UK for free.

Duke are an Isle of Man success story that is sure to go from strength to strength in the future.
If there’s one food that the Isle of Man is famous for it’s the kipper. Sure there are other places in the world that do kippers but there’s nobody that does kippers quite like the Isle of Man. It’s why Manx Kippers are world famous! The good news is that they are now available to buy online.
The Moore’s yard situated at the top of Peel harbour has been traditionally smoking kippers for more than 100 years. The business is still family run, the factory being duel purpose, doubling up as a living museum (If you’re on the Isle of Man then tours of the Moore’s Yard are run daily during the summer).
