Stocking Stuffers: Tiny Treats For Geeky Guys

GeekSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:00:56 -0800

If you are in the market for stocking stuffers for the geeky guys in your life look no further. After years of judging the Christmas morning faces of my male family members I have compiled a collection of small gifts that will make a big statement.

While it may seem juvenile for anyone over age 12, the Tony Hawk HelmetCam, $50, is a surefire hit. It can strap on to any helmet and has a special laser target feature, which means he can set it, press record and start recording extreme sports, birthday parties or goofy nights out with friends. The geeky guys in your life will flip - I promise.

Mario iPod Cozy ($8)	Mile High Charger ($20)
Alessi Jalk Key Ring Stainless Steel ($24)	Mini MP3 Speakers ($30)
Tony Hawk HelmetCam ($30)	Lexon Mini Dolman Am/Fm Radio ($61)
Apple 1 GB iPod shuffle ($80)	Folle Stapler ($135)

Stocking Stuffers: Tiny Treats For Geeky Girls

Department and toy stores are filled with small trinkets and gadgetry this holiday season. Some of it is neat, some of it is the kind of junk that ends up in the back of your closet or in a box in the garage. How do you sort through the world of shiny items and get a growing geek girl cute stocking trinkets she'll actually like?

I suggest doing a bit of product and personality research. If your geeky gal isn't quite old enough for a fancy digital camera get her an inexpensive camera with fun features. If she's in school get her a flash drive that's as lovable as it is practical.

For a selection of my favorite mini geek treats scroll through the widget below.

Tetris Cube ($14)	Lomography Fisheye Camera $60
Magnavox Keychain Digital Camera ($20)	Turbo iPod Charger ($24)
Domo Kun USB Flash Drive ($60)	Hello Kitty Bling Digital Camera ($60)	The Zune by Nylon ($250)

Last Minute Gift: Stylish Gadget Chargers

If you're still in search of the perfect gift for the person who has everything consider picking up a stylish gadget charger. Sure, it's not the sexiest gift out there, but virtually everyone with a cell phone, iPod, PDA or handheld gaming device could use a couple of extra chargers. Tack on some added style and eco goodness and you've found the kind of stocking stuffer that will keep the ohhhs and awwwss coming.

I'm in love with the Solio Solar Powered Battery Charger, $125. It's a bit pricier than other models, but the small universal "hybrid" charger can recharge virtually all your electronics. You can pre-charge the Solio in a wall outlet, and the power can be stored for up to a year. Who wouldn't want that?

Mile High Charger ($20)	Turbo iPod Charger ($24)
Turbo Cell Phone Charger ($24)	FreeLoader Solar Charger ($50)
Wireless WildCharge Bundle ($80)	Solio Solar Powered Battery Charger ($125)

geeksugar's Gift Guide: Great Gadgets for Moms

GeekSugar — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:00:22 -0800

I hate to out my mom as a nongeek, but she's certainly not the most gadget-conscious person out there. She has a BlackBerry but refuses to set up her email. She has an iPod but hasn't updated the music since she first got it. And, on more than one occasion she has called me and said "so, how do I get to On Demand shows again?" Maybe she's just old school, but I've made it my duty to try and keep her gadget collection up to date. Besides, she can't help it if she's a smart, trendy person that doesn't love gadgets, right?

Hardworking moms deserve to be pampered, so if money is no object I suggest getting the mom in your life TiVo (it's about $200 for the 80-Hour Dual-Tuner and about $500 for the HD Digital Media Recorder) or the iPhone ($399.) The Flip Video Camera, $120, is also perfect for anyone because it's compact and easy to use.

Apple 1 GB iPod shuffle ($80)	Flip Video Camcorder ($120)
Canon PowerShot ($199)	TiVo 80-Hour Dual-Tuner Digital Video Recorder ($200)
Sony Reader ($300)	iPhone ($399)
