What Gadget Do You Most Want For Christmas???
We are currently completing our 2010 Christmas gift guides and there is some very cool stuff out there.
However we could do with a little help finishing them off so if you could please leave a comment telling us which gadget or gadgets you would most like Santa to deliver that would be great (if we can we’ll try to negotiate a discount for Santa too 
).
Gelli Baff Gift Set
Moms, if you’re having a hard time trying to convince your kids that they are not vikings and absolutely need to bathe more than once a year, then you might want to check out the Gelli Baff Gift Set. This could very well help your quest to make bath time a whole lot more enjoyable, without needing the help of a rubber duckie. Retailing for just £9.99, this can be used to fill the bath with but a few sprinkles, where the bathwater will then end up as gloriously thick, colorful goo. Talk about having some good and clean fun while scrubbing yourself of the day’s dirt and grime! In fact, it can even spark off your imagination of swimming through red lava, or perhaps squatting in some sort of green, swampy area? Each gift set purchase will come with two random colors of Gelli Baff plus a free 250ml bottle of Bubble Baff. Of course, adult supervision is recommended in this case.
Coolest Gift Ideas (UK Edition)
Time to find some cool gadget gift ideas for our UK readers and we were kind of spoilt for choice.
‘Bum and Boob’ Gel Filled Mouse Mats - £8.95
We can think of at least a pair of reasons to get your hands on one (or both) of these!
These mouse mats are fantastic for blood circulation, are great for relaxing the arm muscles and add a cheeky moment to every click of the mouse!The gel filled bum or boobs offer ergonomic wrist support, and the titillating images will stimulate you, relax you and make you want to get your hand on that mouse!
The ‘Bum and Boob’ Gel Filled Mouse Mats is available from Boys Stuff for £8.95.
Shot glasses are so last week. Didn’t you know that everyone who’s anyone is drinking shots out of hollowed out pieces of fruit? This fun little device allows you to carve out the centre of most fruit and fill with drink, making sure you never run out of glasses! With a comfortable ergonomic handle, it makes carving fruit a doddle.
Tasty, unique, economical and less washing up, what more could you ask for? So grab the nearest apple, melon, pineapple or…potato and get carving, pouring and drinking! For even more taste, let your fruit infuse with your favourite tipple.
The Shot Carver is available from Drink Stuff for £9.99.
“Sun and Moon Jars make a great present. Just leave them in the sunlight to charge up (they don’t work so well on cloudy days) and then you have a gentle blue or orange glow at night (depending on your choice of jar). I have one of each and I’ve found that although the Sun Jar has a warmer light, the Moon Jar does seem to have a brighter light. The light isn’t really bright enough to read by unless you have the jar very close to the page but they are useful at night for finding your way around, plus, you save on electricity by not switching lights on and off.
The Sun Jar is available from Gizoo for £12.95.
Remember when picture keychains involved passport photos and see-through plastic? Well if you haven’t already, it’s time to upgrade! The Tao Digital Photo Keychain is one doozy of a gadget with on-board memory to load up 99 of your favourite photos and show them off on a large 1.5 inch LCD screen.
The Tao Photo Keychain is available from Gizoo for £12.95.
Loafing around on the sofa is where it’s at. But only if it’s nice and warm. Unfortunately, what with this pesky credit crunch malarkey, heating a room costs about the same as fuelling up a 747 with liquid gold. So thank goodness for the Slanket.
This gigantic fleece blanket is soft, light and ludicrously snuggly. ‘But so are most modern blankets,’ we hear you yell. Well yes, but this quality slice of 100% polyester microfibres features large, loose sleeves so you can keep your entire body covered, arms ‘n’ all, and still use your hands. Clever, eh? Your remote will love you for it.
The The Slanket is available from Firebox for £29.95.
Seeing as it’s the 21st Century you’d have thought we’d evolved past the point of sticky notes left on a fridge door. The Digital Video Memo takes that bold leap into the future and gives you a fridge magnet that you can record a 30 second video message on. Just look into the camera, press the record button and leave whatever message you want. It’s designed to be as simple as possible so it only records one message at a time to avoid confusion. Let the kids know where you’ve hidden their dinner on the 1.5 inch LED screen, remind the other half to take the dog for a walk or just tell your wife that you love her - all of this is possible with this nifty fridge magnet. When it runs out of juice just hook it up for a quick recharge via USB and it’s good to go again.

PoGo Instant Photo Printer - £39.95
You’ve probably got oodles of photos trapped inside your mobile phone and digital camera. But how do you print them off when you’re out and about?

The PoGo Instant Photo Printer is available from Firebox for £39.95.
Treasure Seeker’s Shoes - £39.99
The humble practice of metal detection is one traditionally associated with weird old men who tramp around the beach, but that image is set to be cast aside thanks to these Treasure Seekers. Essentially a metal detector that doesn’t make you look like a complete nerd, these crafty sandals will make hunting for metal items amongst the shingle a much more agreeable prospect.
The Treasure Seeker’s Shoes is available from I Want One Of Those for £39.99.
The Wand Remote Control - £49.99
If you or your precious offspring are obsessed with a certain bespectacled boy wizard, you’ll no-doubt already have wands lying about the house. This one, however, is totally different to anything you will have waggled before - it can control the telly. In fact, it can control most things that require a remote control, making its wielder appear to be able to perform some pretty incredible leisure-orientated magic tricks, and you won’t even need to spout gibberish spells to do it.

Flip Video Ultra High Definition Camcorder - £124.99

Motion Sensing Alarm Clock - $34.95
Unlike traditional alarm clocks that can leave you blindly groping for buttons, this clock radio’s alarm turns off with a simple wave of your hand. A motion sensor on top of the unit detects your hand’s movement, and switches the 1 1/4″ H LED display from time to temperature to radio with each successive wave.

Lilliput Mini USB Monitor - $99.99
Looking for that extra bit of screen real estate to get you through the busy workday?

This handy display is perfect for your IM client, widgets, PC gaming tools, your email, a spreadsheet, your PhotoShop tools, or even video.

Voice Activated R2-D2 - $189.95
This motorized replica of the headstrong little “droid” from the iconic Star Wars films responds to voice commands, navigates rooms and hallways, and makes any home feel like it has been transported to a galaxy far, far away. R2 obeys more than 40 voice commands (“Turn around!” “Move forward two units!”) and he plays games like tag, using an infrared sensor to search for people in a room. His sensor helps him follow behind you, or it can be set to detect motion, turning R2 into a room sentry that sounds an alarm when a secured area is invaded. R2′s lights, swiveling dome top, and distinctive happy and sad sounds faithfully mimic the real thing, right down to his occasional “bad mood.”
The Voice Activated R2-D2 is available from Hammacher for $189.95.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device - $259
At Amazon, we’ve always been obsessed with having every book ever printed, and we know that even the best book reader is useless without the books you want to read. We are fortunate that we have tens of millions of book customers at Amazon, and as a result, we know the books customers want to read and we prioritize getting those titles. Today, the Kindle Store has more than 360,000 books available, including 101 of 112 New York Times® Best Sellers, plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Our vision for Kindle is to have every book ever printed, in any language, all available in under 60 seconds.
The Kindle Wireless Reading Device is available from Amazon for $259.
iPod Video Projector - $379.95
This is the pocket-sized device that projects a 60″ image from an iPod, iPhone, or any video source with composite outputs. About the size of a candy bar, the unit projects bright, clear images and pivots up to 90º to display content on a wall or ceiling. The projector’s LED uses Digital Light Processing Technology-the same as digital cinema projectors-to produce sharp 480×320 resolution with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 3:2 aspect ratio.
The iPod Video Projector is available from Hammacher for $379.95.
Optimus Maximus Keyboard - $1,599.99

You can make a key into a tiny clock with moving hands and play animated gif files or even quicktime movies. Of course all this futuristic technology is going to cost you a pretty penny… but we figure you’ll just expense the Optimus and tout its “incredible increased efficiency when using PowerPoint hotkeys” in your expense report summary.
The Optimus Maximus Keyboard is available from Think Geek for $1,599.99.
