Technology Related Gift Guide

Heather Shockney
Do you have someone on your list that loves everything technology related? If they are the first to try every new product that has anything to do with computers or electronics here are some gift suggestions for them.

1.Light scribe DVD Burner, This is a great product it can actually burn the label for your disc right on it without the need for costly ink and a printer. The laser inside a light scribe drive that has this technology focuses light onto a dye coating on the label side of the CD. Only Light Scribe Cd's/DVDs has this coating. The light from the laser causes a chemical change in the dye coating that makes the image show up on the disc. With the precise laser, the drive creates the text and images that you created for the label. Make sure to include some light scribe CD or DVD. These can be found at most computer stores such as Best Buy, Office max, etc.

2.Surround sound system, these come in a different range of prices. Anyone that watched videos or listens to music through their computer would love the surround sound, I have my computer hooked up through one and it is very comparable to an expensive stereo system. These are available at any electronics store; even Wal-Mart and target carry them. You can spend anywhere between $35.00 to a few thousand dollars, depending on the Watts and the features included. Some names of good systems would be Bose, Yamaha, Panasonic, Sony, and Phillips. Of course there are several others as well. Most stores will have the systems set-up so you can hear how they sound.

3.Robotic Vacuum, How great would it be to have your floor vacuumed while you sit and relax watching TV or read a good book, well with the robotic vacuum cleaner this is now possible, they even offer one to mop the floor, they learn where the walls are and have the ability to recognize stairs to avoid falling down them. Certain models can be scheduled to run whenever you would like, this could be done while you're away at work or taking a bath, anytime that is convenient for you and your family. They vary in price ranging from $99.00 to $2,000

depending on the features included. This would be a great gift for someone who loves technology, or the person always on the go and never has time for housework.

4.Mp3 Players, these are a huge hit with anyone who loves technology; you can carry around a portable music player that will hold hundreds of songs you choose. The prices will vary by the size you choose, the bigger the size the more songs it will hold. There are several different brands; the most popular is the I-pod. They have tons of accessories to go along with the mp3 players, such as speakers, headphones, carrying cases, transfer cables, and more. These are a great gift for teens, college kids, runners, or anyone else that loves music on the go.

5.USB Flash drive, these come in different sizes and offer you the ability to easily take your files with you, They would be great for the college student, or to transfer files to and from the office. They just plug into the USB port on your computer. These are a must for the technology lover on your list. They can be used with any PC or Mac that has a USB port. They can be used to store files, mp3's, or photos. Several great flash drives can be found for under $30.00.This could be a great stocking stuffer.

6.Fingerprint reader, say goodbye to password hassles. Now you can log on to your computer and your favorite Web sites with the touch of your finger, without having to remember all those passwords simply place your finger on the receiver whenever a password or user name is required. It connects through USB, and would make a great gift for the technology lover on your list.

7.Digital photo frame, it can be hard is it to choose from one picture to display in a frame, well now you don't have to choose they can be played like a slide show using a digital memory card. You can also connect to your computer through USB and transfer pictures from there. This is a great gift for anyone who loves technology related items. It would make a great gift for the grandparents; they can display all there favorite images of the grandkids. They range in price from $30.00 and up.

8.Gift card to their favorite electronics store.This way they can choose their own technology related gift.
