One of the top items this Christmas is going to be the Parrot Minikit Slim Limited Edition. If you need a handsfree speakerphone for your car, this is the one you should get. Granted if you want something that looks a little less girly, don’t the limited edition. The other ones are just black, but work just as good. This sleek speakerphone works great in your car. You can easily put it on the visor of your car and forget about it. It easily adapts to your environment and can even easily fit into your pocket. Now, this is so easy to use. As long as your phone as bluetooth, the Parrot will automatically synchronize its phonebook with your mobile phone. Now, it has an awesome text to speech function which allows you to just say who you want to call. You don’t even need to train it! If there are several numbers for that person, you just need to specify by saying home, mobile, etc. You can even record a shortcut for your contacts, so you can call them even quicker. I love that it is extremely hard to tell where the microphone is, and it doesn’t have any speakers! The sound from this is awesome. The other really cool thing is that you can use up to 5 phones with this, and it has multi speaker voice recognition.
If you know anyone without a bluetooth handsfree speakerphone, you have to buy them this for Christmas. It is so much easier to use than a headset and it looks nice too.

Yes, you heard it right. I am completely jealous of all of you, since I only got one of these to borrow! The Sony Digital Photo Frame is worth about $249.99, so this is a giveaway you want enter!
Let me tell you a little bit about this frame. It is a 9-inch digital photo frame with 800×480 resolution and 15:9 aspect ratio LCD screen. It has 512MB of internal memory with optional image resizing to maximize the internal memory. It also includes HDMI output for viewing photos in high definition on an HDTV. You are able to auto correct images with features such as red-eye correction. It also offers nine slide show styles and clock and calendar modes. Now, I know that all sounds difficult to figure out what to do. However, I was able to do this all without reading the manual! This digital picture frame is even BlueTooth ready! You can also run the pictures off several different kinds of memory cards: Memory Stick media and Memory Stick PRO Duo media, SD, MMC, CF, Microdrive, and xD Picture cards. I seriously could not believe how crisp these pictures are. I am seriously sad that I have to venture over to Fed Ex on Monday and send mine back.
