Have you ever had a really bad experience while using your computer? Are you frustrated with the dearth of blue screens that pop up all the time? Spam and malware got your goat? As much as you would like to take a hammer out from the toolbox in the shed, you simply cannot bring yourself to smash the monitor to smithereens as there just isn’t enough money in the coffers to pick up a new one.

It would be an understatement to say that things get extremely chilly around this time of the year, which is why it is all the more important for you to keep yourself warm and toasty each time you step out of your house lest you fall sick and fail to enjoy a Christmas season that is full of fun and joy. With technology moving at an ever faster pace than before, having warm winter clothing no longer means you have to look all bulked up like an elephant, as this Heated Vest from Hammacher will attest. In fact, we here at Coolest Gadgets think that it will go down very nicely with a pair of Dual-Zone Heated Cargos.

Following on from our list of gadget shops in the UK, heres one for all of our readers on the other side of the pond, Gadget shops in the USA.

	Hammacher Schlemmer We’ve written about numerous gadgets and gizmos that we found first on Hammacher, their catalogue is an absolute treasure trove for all gadget lovers (especially those with thick wallets).
	HobbyTron This is a store for the “Big Kid” gadget lover, it’s packed with remote control toys and things to make, great stuff!
	ThinkGeek Possible the most well known gadget store in the world, Think Geek as a must for all geeks and gizmo addicts.
	First Street “Innovation & Technology : See it here first” and I must admit some of the stuff they have is very unique to them (and with a 5% discount ).
	Discovery Store Another great source for fun gifts and I find the Discovery Store has a whole host of educational gadgets for the younger tech head.
	The Lighter Side More novelty and fun gadgets here
	Entertainment Earth More collectibles rather than gadgets but still some pretty cool stuff
	Circuit City Full of consumer electronics, cool stuff
	The Tech Geek Over 30,000 geeky products, cool
	Things You Never Knew Existed If you’re looking for the obscure this is the site you’ll find it on, some very strange stuff indeed

That’s all for now folks, happy shopping (just remember you’re meant to be buying gifts for other people).

So you think your $500 silk shirt looks spiffy on your Versace jeans and Hugo Boss shoes, but that look just ain’t complete without a watch that makes you outpimp even the high rollers at Vegas. Touted to be the first high quality LED watch in the world that makes use of 72 LED lights to tell the time, the Pimp Ain’t Easy LED watch from PIMP comes in a polished black or stainless steel body. This neat watch that looks extremely futuristic must be imported from the Land of the Rising Sun as you won’t be able to find it anywhere else.

This year I’m trying to do all of my Christmas shopping online (I hate queues) and as I’m a bit of a gadget fiend I thought it would be cool idea to get all my family and friend gadgets of some sort. I just spent the last couple of hours looking at what gadget shops there are in the UK and I am absolutely amazed that there are that many, so I thought I’d share my list here (over the next few days I’ll do one of these for gadget shops in the USA).

The world is divided into two types of people – those who absolutely love Star Wars and all of its nuances and those who loathe this piece of fantasy science fiction with a touch of mythology and hokey religion. Thankfully, there are way more of the latter that keeps the Star Wars merchandise machine going for decades ever since Luke Skywalker graced the silver screen almost 30 years ago. Hammacher is currently carrying the Star Wars version of the classic board game Battleship for a $59.95 price tag. Unfortunately, those who are living out of the Continental U.S. and Canada won’t have any luck bagging one as Hammacher will not ship it anywhere else.

It may not be the wisest of moves buying other people spy equipment but hey if you’re married to 007 and are stuck for a gift then check these out:

GPS Tracker

We wrote about this exceptionally cool GPS tracker earlier in the year and it became our first ever Digg front page (which meant lots of traffic and new readers (thank you digg)).

Once the tracker has done it’s travels and it’s back in your possession you simply connect it to you PC and download the data. This data can then be plotted on Google Earth, Mapquest, maps.google.com and Virtual Earth to show exactly where it’s been, how long it took and how it got there.

I just think this is so cool (may of said cool a record number of times in this post) it obviously has the spy functionality of tracking somebody else but to me it is even more useful for tracking your own holidays and backpacking adventures. So not only can you bore visitors with your holiday snaps you can also show them exactly where you went.

Available from from TG for $249.99.
