Petzl Head Lamp

  Ever since I was kind a kid, I can remember I was never disappointed with a torch as a gift. Whatever shape or form it was always a great gift. The pictured petzl head lamp is a simple one strength version and its all one needs. Its great for camping and whether the lights go out and you want to read (a real book not your kindle though I am sure it works with a kindle too :). I have had this lamp for over 7 years, so definitely does not win any novelty awards, but it still good for its purpose. Not sure about prices, but should be around 20 GBP / 20 EUR. I would recommend, the simplest and battery operated version. A great gift for any gadget friend.

 

Swims Galoshes

Great name for a brand of galoshes. Though very expensive at o ver 100 GBP/120 EUR they are great. Extremely practical when working in an office environment, when you don’t really feel like taking an extra pair of shoes with you when its raining outside or more likely these days, snowing! They cost as much as a very nice pair of shoes, but they do feel that way and also have huge novelty value showing them off to friends. Especially if you get one of the more flashy colours. They are not necessarily easy to find. Would recommend checking their Norwegian homepage www.swims.no.

 

EyeTV Hybrid - perfect for those who do not watch TV

Why should one buy a "tv-stick" for your computer if you can now see movies and TV series online? Exactly! My view is that this is the ideal gadget for those people who do not watch TV anymore, just like me! So why get it? Because it has an extremely easy to use interface, which a) downloads the TV programme and simply lets you click on it to b) record films and TV shows for you to watch at a late time or simply export to your iTunes! I love watching various TV series on iTunes; it has cost me a fortune, even though I know some of them are on cable TV. My lifestyle however doesn't allow simply showing up every Tuesday at 5pm and sitting in front of the TV to watch a programme I like! EyeTV is the perfect solution. I am actually surprised how much money this little gadget has saved me, by allowing me to record movies instead of buying them on iTunes or renting out DVDs! Ok, you wouldn’t get the latest blockbusters on it, but for TV series and old classics, it’s great! There are various versions of EyeTV, the one I have is the EyeTV Hybrid working on a Mac. It’s fantastic! I am not sure why the reviews are so poor on Amazon. It’s a must for any Lost, Madmen, and etc addict out there! Elgato EyeTV Hybrid
