Gadget Holiday Guide and PS2 Giveaway!

Are you looking for a fun and different gadget for Christmas? RadioShack is selling this cool radio controlled DragonFly. WowWee introduces the world’s first radio controlled flying insect! This amazing FlyTech flyer flaps its wings like a real dragonfly for unique flying action. Thanks to the lightweight construction, the Dragonfly can flutter, soar, dive-bomb and glide. Plus, the durable carbon-fiber structure and flexible wings stand up to crashes and rough landings. I can attest to it surviving crash landings because we crashed it a lot before we got the hang of it. The DragonFly is so much fun for a child or adult to play with. And don’t worry if it’s cold and snowy, this toy flies indoors too! Don’t forget to buy the batteries!  One downfall my husband wanted me to warn,  it is a bit tough to put together.  Patience is required.

• Capable of maneuvering in tight spaces, you can even fly it indoors
• Light-up LED eyes alert you of it’s status by blinking, pulsing or shining bright
• Lightweight and durable for versatile, long-lasting fun
• 2 skill levels for beginners and experts: includes a tail stabilizer for additional control

You can purchase the DragonFly at your local RadioShack or online at www.radioshack.com

Do you have someone in your life who love Science? Or someone you want to get interested in Science. This mini digital microscope, the Zorb, would be the perfect gift. The Zorb is a digital microscope with a camera built in that enables you to take images of anything and display the magnified image on you computer screen. We had so much fun looking at bugs close up on the computer. The Zorb was easy to hold for my four year old and it is a great opportunity to discuss Science with your kids. Here is the product information:

It seems like everyone has an iPhone or iPod Touch nowadays. I have the perfect gift idea for iPhone addicts that is affordable and one they will definitely thank you for. It is difficult to use the screen stubby fingers, so the geniuses behind the Pogo iPhone Stylus have magically solved this problem by making a stylus that somehow tricks the iPhone into thinking it’s really a finger. What’s more, the tip of the stylus is a soft felt like material that has the added benefit of keeping your screen clean while you tap away. There is a clip too so they won’t ever lose it. Pogo’s come is four stylish colors. In fact you probably will want to pick one up for yourself too! You can buy the Pogo Stylus at www.thinkgeek.com

Need a gift for the teen on your Holiday list? Cygnett GrooveAtomic Earbuds are stylish enough for them and also a great price for you. Lose yourself in the quality sound and comfort of GrooveAtomic Earbuds. They are light and made with titanium so they will last. They are ergonomically designed to form fit in your ear and are designed to fit with any ipod or mp3 player.
