Engadget your friends this Christmas!
December 17th, 2006Christmas is closing in fast. With less than a week to go, I’m willing to bet that most of us still haven’t bought anything for our loved ones yet. As online shopping tends to be the best alternative this year, let me show you some of the gadgets I thought would make perfect Christmas presents for your friends.
If you want to buy something for a girl, you might think that you won’t find anything online. Think again. Here are some examples of things you can get her:
Smiley Cushions
Not much to say about them, really. The picture says it all, and girls will love them (even if they won’t, it’s the thought that counts… isn’t it?). The pillows come in 6 different states, three of which are happy and the rest sad. The happy ones are :-), :-P (the tongue actually sticks out) and :-D, and the sad ones are :-(, :-| and :-/. You can get them with aproximately $30 from here :-)
Heated slippers
This is actually a part two of a project that I saw a while back, where both slippers were “glued” into one. This invention is far greater, and they look very comfortable. Nothing more, but if they’re comfortable and warm what else would you need? Buy them from here.
Power Zoom Vanity Mirror
Just a mirror? Neah. No, it’s not Snow White’s magic mirror on the wall, but this one has zooming capabilities. I won’t go into technical details, I just know it can zoom up to five times and the mirror has 6″. You can buy one here for about $50.
Fluffy laptop covers
Well, I don’t suppose this needs to be bought for a girl, but I thought that a fluffy fuzzy cover is sort of girlish. More info on it here.
Light sab..uh..slippers
Remember those old horror films where there’s always a lady who’s all alone at night and gets forced to investigate sounds in her house, in the dark? That has “danger” written all over it. Not if she has these things on. Well, it could work both ways, the killer can see her first. But still…
Okay, so we covered what you can buy for a girl this Christmas. Now let’s cover the other side of the gender. I think that for a guy you can buy almost everything (even the products above), from the geeky to the down-right stupid. Here goes:
Google USB Mouse Pad
Yeah, the name says it all. This is a mousepad equipped with 4 USB slots.. Er, is there something more to say? Link here.
USB Pole Dancer
Well, this is quite interesting… If you’re a guy, you’ll definately want one. I mean, after all, it’s a pole dancer. Now we’re going to have to wait for tiny bars and banknotes and you can open a strip club in your own office. Buy this here.
Humping USB Dog
Another USB Gizmo, just don’t put this anywhere near the pole dancer!
Smokeless Fireplace
Even though it’s not 100% a gadget, it looks pretty cool on your desk. But it’s maybe a little overpriced, as you can see here.
USB Beverage chiller
Last but not least, what man is considered accomplished without this marvel of technology? I bet everybody is jealous for not having one of these.
Remote Controlled UFO
Have you ever played with R/C cars? Well, now you can take it to the next level, with this R/C UFO. It costs about $160, but it’s worth every penny. Get it here and play with it everywhere.
Remember, these are just part of my opinion, I’m not saying you can’t get some heated slippers for a guy or a pole dancer for a girl. So, whether you decide to buy one of these or not, they’re just fun to watch (in action or just displayed), and it’s also fun to watch your loved ones’ reaction when they receive the gifts. And since we’re talking about gifts and presents in this time of year, let me just say “Merry Christmas!” in advance.
