Family Gift Guide 2006
Shopping for every kind of geek this holiday season
As a rule, geeks aren’t usually associated with shopping. Most of us who find ourselves in that category spend more time on the web than in the mall - perusing any number of technology sites and researching every last little detail before finally deciding on that perfect DVD player [DVD Buyer’s Guide], laptop [Teen’s Big Gift]or Xbox 360 [Dad’s Medium Gift] game. Then and only then do we exit the front door and drop into the local electronics store for pickup.
When we do actually make our way into the store, we want the product in our hands in moments, the cashier ringing up our bill in seconds and the device entertaining us in minutes. After all, the more time we spend in the mall, the big box store or driving from plaza to plaza, the less time we have to enjoy all of our tech goodies.
At Gizmo Café, we know geeks. Heck, we are geeks! That’s why we’ve put together this informative guide to let you know exactly what products are hot this holiday season. We’ve broken it all down into four important categories:
In each section we’ll give you the five best gift ideas, with a keen eye on the most exciting new products to hit the tech landscape in recent months. If you’re a geek, you’ll love finding out even more about the products you want under the tree this year; and if you’ve stumbled upon this guide in a desperate attempt to find a gift for that techie in your life, well you’re in the right place!
What’s hot this Christmas?
Whether you’re a bona fide gizmo geek or not, you’ve probably heard of the following products:
These are just some of the most fascinating items hitting store shelves before any of us belt out Auld Lang Syne. No one wants to be on the receiving end of a loved one’s crestfallen face and token “Ohhh, thanks…I guess”, so we’ll explain which products are best and whom they’re best for. And remember, from cell phones and digital cameras to video games and DVD players, not even the most robust techie can be an expert in each field…
That is, unless they’re the Gizmo Guys!
