Gadget Gift Ideas

Let’s face it - D-Link routers are dime a dozen, and most of the time they come in that dreary drab grey color. Why not add some spice into your geeky life with D-Link’s Skinit skin? There are thousands of designs to choose from, ranging from your favorite sports teams to entertainment, college, and fashion icons amongst others. Should you sift through the thousands of available skins and find nothing that strikes a chord with you, there is always the option to create your own skin by using your favorite photos. Sounds like the perfect birthday gift for that geeky partner of yours! Other than routers, there are many other devices like cell phones and MP3 players which you can give a similar treatment.

Nothing says “I love you” more than the USB engagement ring. Actually, nothing says “I’m too cheap to afford a real diamond ring, but I put a creative twist on this tradition” more than the USB engagement ring.

I always did find it odd that tradition that girls wear an engagement ring that may or may not have this really expensive rock that the groom has to take out a muy expensivo loan for. Why not invest a small amount of money in something a lot more practical?

With a USB engagement ring, you can download some cool stuff onto the drive. I suppose you can download a picture of the groom on one knee proposing, and then show it to anyone with a laptop. Personally, I think there is a lot of reasons to store valuable data on your ring. After all, I won’t easily lose my wedding ring, as I would a thumb drive.

I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy laser shows. I’ve seen some that are pretty impressive, and some that were just a random collection of colored lights. However, I don’t need too much lasers to fill my cup of excitement, so the Red Hot Laser Light Show might be for me.

I’m not saying that this product is inferior, but it is advanced for the price you will pay. As you can see, someone went to a lot of trouble to make the casing as flamed as possible, and painted it a lovely shade of Diablo red. I swear that shade of red belongs only on hot sports cars, and it really makes this laser projector shine even when it is turned off.

When it is turned on, it shines an assortment of random shapes across your walls and ceilings that include red circles, spheres, and lines. I am told there is even a sound responsive mode, so the lasers will shape themselves according to the ambient noise. I’m also told that it can work outdoors, but I’m guessing you need some surface to project the lasers on.

Yes, we all know laptop bags can be boring. On the flip side of that coin, it’s nearly impossible to find something that isn’t black, made of heavy duty nylon mesh or both. Nearly all of the bags on the market are boring, and for most people, that’s OK. I am one of those people who needs to have something different, something fun!

The people over at Plastic People Design in partnership with SupremeLoveStory have created some unique laptop bags made with some fun colors and featuring heart appliques and accessories. This is the most recent design from the group, which changes periodically. The philosophy of Plastic People Design is:

PLASTIC PEOPLE is about positivity. It is about creating a product that makes people smile. PLASTIC PEOPLE is image… a happy exterior, always smiling, even if the inside (of the bag) is a complete mess!

Over here at Coolest Gadgets, we’ve covered the Animated WiFi Detector Shirt last October, and that offering was from ThinkGeek which retailed for $29.99. It came in a cool black shade of various sizes, and is powered by a trio of AAA batteries. Today, we have from Firebox a WiFi Detecting T-Shirt that basically does the same thing as described in the product description right after the jump.

Now ain’t this a hoot - a cigarette lighter that has been styled after an LV handbag that will definitely impress fashionista wannabes each time you light up. Once you’re out of fuel, that doesn’t mean you can just chuck the $7.99 lighter aside. No sir, there is always the more responsible action of filling it up with butane fuel to smoke even more cancer sticks. Puff away in style.
