Shopping for gadget guys can either be really easy, or really hard.
It's easy when there's a glittering, gleaming jewel of a new gadget that your significant other has talked about non-stop for the past few months. A Wii perhaps, or an iPhone. You know he doesn't have it, mainly because he drops not-so-subtle hints at every opportunity and talks about how his life has been empty and meaningless without one.
But if your budget this year doesn't include the big prize, or if you're shopping for a tech-oriented sibling or friend, or if you're just looking for some good stocking stuffers (gosh I hate that phrase, "stocking stuffers"), here's a brief list of stuff that almost any gadget guy would want and/or need. Of course some items require a little bit of homework but not much:
- Rechargeable AA batteries w/rapid charger - awesome for many uses
- iTunes gift card - you cannot go wrong with this
- Digital camera storage cards - a 512 or 1 gig makes a nice addition; you'll have to find out if your spouse's camera takes the SD or compact flash variety
- DV tapes for the camcorder
- Blank CD's or DVD's
- CD/DVD jewel boxes
- Portable hard drive - USB2. Even a smaller one can come in handy
- Some of those very handy mini power cord extenders, or a PowerSquid
- Lens and camera cleaning wipes
- Velcro or plastic computer cable ties
