Digital photo frames have to be one of hottest gifts this season. If you are wanting one this year, you should definitely check out GiiNii 7″ Digital Picture Frame. This frame is one of the easiest to use on the market. All you need to is plug it in, turn it on, and the frame instantly plays a vivid color slideshow of three pre-installed, high-resolution images. If you would like to view your own personal photos, simply insert a memory card. On-screen programming makes it easy to change settings. I love the wedge design of it also. Unlike other photo frames out there, you don’t havy to worry about this one tipping over and getting wrecked. It has a high resolution (800 x 480) for crisp, vivid images and a 512 MB memory for storage. It even plays movies and music! The GiiNii 7″ Digital Picture Frame comes with a mini USB port for connectivity to PCs and Macs too. You can even program it to show only a single picture and to having a slideshow with all your pictures.

Anyone who has any sort of computer needs to get one a SimpleTech Mini Drive. It is small, but it has a big punch. You can store up to 250 GB of data on this baby. Now, I have a lot of pictures and music (and trust me, it is more than I even thought!), and it is not taking up even half of the memory on this! There are several things I love about my SimpleTech Mini Drive. The first thing would have to be the size. It truly is small enough to fit in a pocket (not necessarily your jean pocket per say but a bit larger pocket). It is also made for my house, because it is durable. It has a velvety smooth texture to help you grip it, and it was made for travel. If you drop it, it is not end of the world (though I may have to ground you to your room for the rest of your life). It comes in different colors, so if they bubblegum color that I have is not your cup of tea you have several to choose from like Espresso, Marshmallow, Kiwi, and Cayenne. You also get a high speed USB 2.0 “Y” cable that provides power without extra cables (love, love, love that!). It even gives you backup software and you are able to use their Fabrik Ultimate Backup™ online service (2 GB free).
Want to know how easy this is to use? Just plug one of the Y cord to the mini drive and the other to your computer. That’s it! Bill and I will be spending this afternoon taking the rest of the music off our desktop and saving it to the minidrive. I then will be able to put all our MP3s on my laptop. We haven’t done it till now, because over our home network, it takes forever! I am super excited to be able to finally play music on my laptop!
Like I said, if you know anyone who has a computer, they need a SimpleTech Mini Drive. You never know when your hard drive will decide to crash and take all of your data with it.
Want to be the coolest parent ever this Christmas? The zOrb microscope is that cool gift. I’ve had my 4 year old using it, so it is good for little kids all the way up to teenagers. It easily hooks up to your computer; all you need to do is hook it up to your USB port on your laptop or desktop. The really cool thing is that you can magnify it anywhere from 35 times on a 14″ monitor all the way up to 53 times on a 21″ monitor. Want to see it in action? Watch this video:
The microscope has a built in illuminator too. The coolest part is that you can make your own video with it too (and no, I won’t subject you to the videos my daughter made). The zOrb comes in three colors: Surf Blue, Safari Green, and Lava orange.
A gift all ages will love is this zOrb microscope, so make sure it is on your shopping list.
