iDiamonds for Christmas

An Italian company called Mac@Work has luxury iPod buds that are covered in white gold and adorned with diamonds. There are four designs available to choose from, including hearts, stars, crescents and lightening bolts. The company also has buds in the same designs, but made with pink sapphires instead of diamonds. Thus makes it a small but concisely assortment to choose from as a present for her.

Original ledy's watch: mirror, mirror on your wrist

Looking for a cool gift for the geek who has everything? I really dig this shiny new digital watch and its dramatic styling.

Concealed behind the mirrored face of the Reflection watch dwells a bright red LED display which only shows itself when illuminated. When it’s not telling the time, it’s perfect for checking out your good looks.
The super-shiny finish is a perfect complement to the Reflection’s highly-polished gunmetal band. There’s something about the retro-modern style of LED watches that always catches my eye. I especially like the fact that the display on this one is a little different from the typical 7-segment readout, using a dot-matrix to render the current time instead.

The Reflection watch features a durable mineralite lens with a polarized mirror finish, and a sturdy stainless steel case and band. You can find it at LEDWatchStop for $159 USD.

A Unique Christmas Gift - The Online Time Capsule

A Unique Christmas Gift - The Online Time Capsule allows users to save text, web grabs, audio, video and photos in their own virtual time capsule that the100yearwebsite will keep readable for them for the next 100 years.
Windsor, UK (PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Windsor based entrepreneur Richard Brooks has hit upon an unusual idea that could prove to be the most thoughtful Christmas gift you'll ever give: a virtual time capsule that allows users to gather photos, videos, music, and words. Users have a year to fill it and once complete it will be kept safe for at least 100 years for future posterity.


The online time capsule is proving to be an unusual and unique gift. Essentially it consists of a dedicated webspace to which pictures, video and audio clips, thoughts and writings can be uploaded over a 365 day period. The capsule's contents are safe for 100 years and can either be viewed by anyone, password protected (to be shared with family and friends) or 'buried' until a pre-determined date in the future.

Richard was inspired to create the 100 Year Website after receiving a photo album as a gift from his mother: "I realised I had a limited record of the past and started thinking of ways to capture memories online for future generations to enjoy. The time capsule idea just developed from there," he explains.

Although 'virtual' in concept, the 100 year website can be ordered with a metal capsule and verification certificate - a popular option as a gift. "About 90% of our customers to date have ordered the metal capsule" says Richard, "It's a nice way of creating a tangible gift out of something intangible." An ideal and unusual Christmas gift, each capsule is only activated once the first entry is made, which means you can purchase the gift in advance without worrying about the 365 day period counting down.

The finished capsule becomes an online snapshot for people to enjoy for the next 100 years. "Just imagine your relatives in 30, 40 or even 100 years time looking back at what their great, great grandparents had to say in the year 2007?" says Richard, "One customer is expecting their first child so they are currently adding things like the baby's heartbeat and scan images to their capsule. To follow will be baby photos, interviews with family members and so on capturing memories of the baby's first few months. The capsule will then be 'buried' until the child's 18th birthday." Time capsules can be linked to each other so it's possible to build a series of capsules spanning a number of years.

Computer novices needn't fear - a simple to use Wizard takes them through the whole process of uploading information step by step.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids

Christmas is a fun time of year, but gift ideas for kids can be tough to come by if you aren't used to dealing with children. It isn't all that tough, though, if you know what you are doing. Going beyond the typical books and clothing that kids get every year; these ideas will help you get that perfect gift for the kid in your life.

The Movie Gift Basket

Get a basket or tub, pick up a liter of soda, some microwave popcorn and a gift card to a local video rental store and you have a movie gift basket! Any kid will love to get their very own movie card and all the "fixins" that are just for them. This is appropriate for a kid of any age.

Grab Bags

Get several small trinkets and one "main" gift. Put each one in its own decorated paper bag and put those bags into one large bag. Allow the child to choose one small bag at a time, discovering the treasures that are contained within each. This is a delightful surprise for the younger child, but older kids seem to like it too.

Gift Cards

Kids love to get gift cards. Depending on the age, you can get them a gift card to a toy store, the mall or get one of the major credit card gift cards so that they can spend it anywhere! They will feel just like a grown up when they go shopping and use their very own credit card to get the things that they want!

Art Sets

Purchase an art set of acrylic paints, brushes and paper, or try a different medium such as charcoal, pastels, water colors or oils. You can add in an instructional book and you have a gift that gives in so many ways. Children love to create and art allows them the gift of self expression.

Puzzles

Puzzles are a fun way for children to learn through doing. They learn logic without even realizing that it is a lesson because it is so much fun. Jigsaw puzzles are fun and you can get the mats that roll up so that the puzzle can be put away without being taken apart. Wood puzzles and brain teasers will keep kids entertained for hours as well.

Magazine Subscription

There are many great kids' magazines that are available; many are published by mainstream publications such as National Geographic and Sports Illustrated. Find out what interests the kid in your life has and get them the gift that gives all year long - a subscription to their favorite magazine.

Jewelry

Jewelry is always a hit with girls. Younger girls will love bracelets and necklaces with their names in block letters. Jewelry kits are also a big hit with girls. They can make their own jewelry and wear it.

When you are shopping for the kids in your life, don't be afraid to be creative. Have fun and steer away from the conventional. Think about the child's personality, likes and dislikes, then run with it! If all else fails, do a movie gift basket or a hot cocoa gift basket. You can't go wrong!
