Gifts for him

I am a self-realized Geek. I admit it. Working on this list has made me near giddy. SO many fun gadgets -- I had to scale myself down a notch just to be able to include some non-gadget ideas.

This first idea could work for all ages of "him." And I know it would make me giggle with delight on Christmas morning. How about a pair of the Eyeclops Night Vision Goggles? The possibilities are endless!

Or... hold onto your steering wheel.... how about the Knight Rider GPS by Mio. No, I'm not kidding. Yes indeedy -- this one comes complete with Kitt's voice and some red lights to make you feel like Knight Rider (makes the near-new Australian-accented guy on my portable model almost worth trading in).

The Moshi IVR alarm clock takes waking up on time to new levels of fun. I mean waking up in the morning to go to work can be a little tiresome, but what if you can tell your alarm clock what to do? (No. I don't mean that!) This model allows you to set the time and alarm time via voice command. It will also answer you when you ask it what time it is or what the room temperature happens to be. Forget being 'for him' -- I want one of these!

Now this next item would make a great stocking stuffer - because you'd want to be sure it was available before any other packages come along. Or attach it to a gift that really needs it. The Zibra Open It! does just that, and more. As the materials say... this little beauty cures "Wrap Rage." The Open It! easily opens clamshells, toy packaging, boxes, CDs, DVDs, battery compartments and more.

For the traveler in your life consider the Belkin FlyThru for easy movement through the security line. This TSA-approved laptop bag allows you to keep your laptop in the bag. How? FlyThru isolates your laptop on one side, allowing security agents to easily identify it through a clear window. All you have to do is unzip it and lay it flat on the screening belt. It's that easy. Goodbye security-line-stress on that next business trip.

Cue the Monty Python soundtrack... "I'm a Lumberjack, and that's OK." And so are these great "The Screens Gone Plaid" boxer briefs from Paul Frank. These just scream winter and holidays in one fell swoop.

That's all for now. This list could keep on going, but these should give you some great ideas. Right? Yes? I thought so.
