Ho, Ho, Ho! Nah, I’m just kidding. We all know this
time is stressful and always lightens the wallet so for this post we are going to
give you some tips for cool gadget
gifts you can treat yourself to for a job well done.
Keeping with the holiday theme and our favorite tale: A Christmas Carol. We tip off to you three
must have gadgets from the
past, present, and future. Feast your eyes on that, Tiny Tim.

Past: Ok
so we cheated a little bit. Its not exactly old but the Olympus Pen E-P3
Digital SLR (hyperlink) looks straight out of the 1950s! Definitely does not
lack gadget style with a
design almost identical to the 50s model but offers all of the conveniences of
modern photography. (At a premium: $899)
Present:
How about the latest cool gadget gifts? If you are anything like us you
definitely played video games growing up. The Neo-Geo X (hyperlink) takes all
of those amazing arcade games and brings them to the present time in one
handheld console. It comes with 20 pre-loaded games and SD card expansion for
more gaming potential. (Price: $175)
Future:
This one is a bit of wishful thinking but it’s the
future and you will have some money by then, right? How about a 3D printer (hyperlink)
as a cool gadget gift? This
baby replicates almost anything into a tangible product so we are glad it’s not
out for consumer purchase yet. Think of all the possibilities, and then the consequences.
If you can find one, or have a time machine, the MakerBot Replicator 2 will set
you back $5,000.
Will you check back next year for more festivities and
yuletide coping advice? Tell us what you think. Goodnight to all and to all a cool gadget gift site!
