Considering that most of us get our music fixes from iPods or other MP3 Players, it is not surprising that we want to take our audio experience into the water. If you are the type that wants your music in the pool, you could invest in something that will keep the MP3 Player waterproof, such as the Atlantic EGO iceBar2.

Or you could take the whole MP3 Player and make it waterproof, at least up to 3 meters. This is where portable media players such as the uBanana uCan come in.

You may notice that the UBanana uCan sort of resembles the Opera Headphones that we reported on a few weeks ago. I don’t think that there is any copyright infringement going on here. The design is meant to fit on the back of the head, so you don’t have to worry about any pesky cords.

Today’s gift guide is more for you (or your home) rather than your friends but hey, if you want to buy somebody a USB snowbot for Christmas who’s the geek!

ThinkGeek USB Snowbot

This has got to be the coolest (albeit most useless) USB gadget around, the USB powered Snowbot.

The Snowbot looks and sounds like it has come off a set of BattleStar Galactica (thank you ScFi). Simply plug it into any free USB port and watch the Snowbot’s LED robotic eye scan from left to right.

For added fun you can adjust the speed of the eye scan, switch the spooky robotic sound on and off and even manually move its articulated arms (what more could you want from a robotic snowman).

This year the USB Snowman can be yours for $9.99.

Alright, what if you could walk down the street with a banana-shaped handsfree mobile set? People might say it is weird and gross, but I think it would make a lot of success with the ladies… after all you got have some balls to wear that headset in public!

The beautiful collection of handsfree mobile kits is produced by Mockia, and here is a company description: “The home of strange telecom. We supply the finest selection of vintage, retro and novelty accessories for your mobile cell phone.”

If you’ve always wanted a talking banana then your dreams have been answered thanks to the banana cell phone holder.

I’m not sure who would buy one of these but if you see somebody talking to one you might want to cross the street, I did like Ohgzmo’s name for potential users, geektards.
