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
Clarisonic Face Scrub

Clarisonic Facial Brush

 

Ok, I am not really sure of the purpose of facial scrubs, but that is not the point. I am not a facial expert.  My wife bought this on a trip to the USA (USD 150, EUR 100) and it is one of the few eletric gadgets she does use and believes in.  So, yes, I would recommend this as a gadget gift to your girlfriend / wife even if you are not sure what is the point of scrubbing ones face with an eletric brush.  Luckily it has a timer, otherwise skin damage could be an issue.  Unlike the Zeno spot zapper, she does this gadget works!  There are many reviews of this gadget by beauty experts, which you may want to read, if works on all skin types...etc etc!  Otherwise should be a good gift idea.

 
Iphone 3G

IPhone

Yes, we think the iphone is a fantastic gadget, one of the best of them out there.  I will not go into why, as I am sure you all know by now.  The reason we mention it here, is because it is a great gadget for girls.  My wife loves it.  She was a bit sceptical when I got it for her, but once should found some useful applications she is unable to live with it.  So if you want your girlfriend or wife to be more gadget friendly, thats definitely one way to achieve it!

   
Headphone hat

Hat with built in headphones

This is simply a one-size hat with built in headphones. I recevied this as a gift, so I am not sure how much it cost, but I am sure it wasn't cheaper than a decent pair of headphones.  Why did I give it a thumbs down? Well, because this is not benefit of such a hat versus a normal hat put on over your usual headphones.  At least when you are inside a building you can still listen to your music without looking like a fool with a hat one, because there is a good track going on.  The reason I am also writing this review, is that I had actually seen a very positive review of it in a highly reputable newspaper and it made me angry.  Yes, it is mainly geared towards listening to music, but you might as well use normal headphones, as this hat doesn't make it any safer.

 

The only positive thing about I have noticed it, is that because of the headphones, I actually put it together with my gadget pile instead of my clothes.  As a result, when it does get cold I tend to use it, because it is only hat I can find in the house :) If after all you want to get one, they seem to be only available in the UK: iLogic's Headphone Hat
