Included in the list are laptops, tvs, cameras, coffee machines, earphones and many more interesting ideas. They are mostly in the categories that you would expect for gadgets, but they still throw up some interesting ideas. One of the most interesting gift ideas is the Galaxy Tab, a rival to the iPad.

This is a brilliant gift idea. You can buy a “Magic Wand” from Firebox that will make you look and feel like Harry Potter. The wand will work like a remote control. You can program it to respond to certain movements, and for those movements to comand certain functions (i.e. turn tv on, volume up, channel change etc). Thewand can also be programmed for other items that are controlled remotely. For example, if you have a wireless light switch you can now turn them on and off with the flick of your wrist. Also, maybe you have your Ipod linked up wirelessly… You could chnage songs with a quick swoosh.
The The Magic Wand Remote Control was also featured on the Dragons Den and on “Something for the Weekend” on BBC 2. (You can see the video below.
If you are looking for a fun, eductional and interesting gift idea for this Christmas that doesnt break the bank then the Plantarium might just be for you.

In general you can find the best deals for Christmas if you shop early and find the “Early Bird” discounts, or leave things to the last minute when retailers are desperate to get rid of excess stock. The latter option is always risky, as you dont want to disappoint people with presents potentially arriving after Christmas.

People spent hours in line for the opening day launch of the new Halo game; Halo:Reach.

The new Amazon Kindle is sure to be another hit this year. The latest version can be bought either with wifi or with 3G and wifi. The prices are £109 and £149 respectively. You can also pick up some very nice covers for the Amazon Kindle if the person already has one. Here is what engadget had to say in their review.
At the end of the day, there are two paths a consumer can go down when buying a new reading device: the standalone reader or the do-it-all unit which also reads books. In the standalone category, the Kindle is probably the one to beat, and its support for the platform with apps for many devices are certainly helping it to flourish. We are still, however, not at all assured that the standalone path is the one most consumers will ultimately traverse.
One of the sure fire hits of 2010 is the Wifi Bathroom Scale. This ingenious product records and sends your weight to your own (password protected) WiThings account.
