World’s Best Prelit Noble Fir
The Yuletide season will be upon us soon again – how fast time flies, eh? Well, if you are looking to make sure your home is Christmas-sy enough, then you would do well to check out the World’s Best Prelit Noble Fir from Hammacher. It was specially molded from a live Abies procera, making it the most realistic Noble fir worldwide at the moment (as claimed by Hammacher), boasting meticulously strung lights with a lifetime guarantee – now how about that? Not too sure whether it is guaranteed against little devils running around it and toppling it with their inquisitive fingers though. This is touted to be the only tree with three-dimensional, injection-molded branch tips that replicate the exact growth patterns, round, curved needles, and branch silhouettes of a freshly cut Noble fir. This 7 1/2′ tree boasts 4,400 branch tips, which is nearly over 2,000 more than typical trees. Considering that each one is hand painted, the $199.95 price point you pay for this can be said to be extremely reasonable. The lights provide up to 16,000 hours of bright white illumination, boasting an integrated circuit within each bulb that maintains an illumination even when other bulbs on the strand are removed or broken.
Laser Theater for crazy in-house parties
If you tend to hold a lot of parties over the year, chances are you already know good caterers, reasonable suppliers for booze, as well as resident DJs around your area to pump up the night with a special blend of dance music. Well, instead of the crazy disco ball of yesteryear, why not spruce up your parties with the Laser Theater? This device sports built-in red and green lasers alongside 4 interchangeable diffraction patterns and variable speed controls to make a fantastic light show of your dance party. It retails for $149.99 a pop, and is capable of churning out up to 39 different unique lightshows. Of course, we would recommend you getting this to work in tandem with a fog machine, but the latter is not included so you might need to look elsewhere.
Hitachi unveils slim new G-Technology G-DRIVE
External or portable hard drives are pretty popular these days, especially for those who tend to do a whole lot of traveling (or tote around netbooks, since those devices are notorious for not having enough storage space for a decent computer user). Well, if you’re going to carry around another computer peripheral in your notebook or netbook bag, why not make sure it is as slim and light as possible?
After all, we wouldn’t want you to look disproportionate with one shoulder being larger than the other after a long haul business trip, eh? Enter the G-Technology G-DRIVE external hard drive from Hitachi – this puppy will be out in time for the holiday season, making it the perfect companion to the Apple Macbook, MacBook Pro or Macbook Air thanks to its amazingly slim form factor.

Ion Audio’s COZ-E: The Electric Snuggie
I suppose that I couldn’t come up with a better description of the COZ-E other than “an electric Snuggie”.
The COZ-E is essentially an electric blanket with sleeves, and it has a control pad with a green light for low heat, a yellow light for medium heat, and a red light for high heat.
I got a chance to try it out, and I found that the COZ-E did not fit very well. I found that it draped all over the place, making it difficult to walk. I believe that I was suppose to wear it so it opens in the back, so if I was on a couch or chair, the COZ-E would totally cover me. If I wore it so the opening is in front, it is like a small robe without a sash.
