Christmas Gift Guide: Tech Gifts
We can't live anymore without our tech gadgets, from a smart phone up to wireless headphones or smart apps, we are literally surrounded by tech. So obviously an upgrade to anyone of our gadgets is always a good idea. I have picked few items for all budgets, so that you can have some inspirations.
I love colour so I fell in love with the Kodak Smile Printer which is an instant digital printer that can make it for you possible to print straightaway a picture you have taken with your mobile phone. It comes with a pack of Zink Kodak paper so that you can print 20 photos and a soft case to hold it. Dimensions are 25x20 cm and it weight less than 500 grams. It comes in green, red, blue, black or white. Amazon is among the retailers that stocks it and you can check all the specifications at www.kodak.com
I think that nothing beats the sound of a record listened on a turntable. Or maybe I am from an old generation, but I must admit that recently more and more vinyl records have been printed and turntables are something that you can find in all the stores. Many will probably face palm themselves because they gave away all their records. But going back to turntables, this one is from Marley and it is crafted with bamboo and fabric made from recycled materials like reclaimed hemp, reclaimed organic cotton and recycled PET. It has incredible features like a USB to PC recording. www.thehouseofmarley.co.uk
It looks like a sleek clutch because of its black colour and copper details but it is in fact a portable HI-FI audio system by Astell & Kern. Look for the A&ultima SP2000 which is the ultimate upgrade from the A&ultima range. It has 512GB internal storage, this is 700+ CDs or 8000+ tracks and it weighs only 386 grams. www.astellnkern.com
This is the top gift of the year, if you are into beauty. It is the Cleo Gold Mask by Opatra. It is a LED light therapy mask, targeting various skin conditions and it uses red and near infra red lights to help boost circulation, smooth and balance uneven skin and more. It is really the best gift ever. www.opatra.com
The MyZone MZ60 watch displays the heart rate when using the MyZone MZ3 belt, so that everything is always under control. The two object have to be worn together to have the live heart rate feedback. It is of course a watch, with an alarm and it is water resistant as well as counting calories. Perfect for sporting activities when you can't carry a smart phone. Amazon stocks this product or you can check at www.buy.myzone.org
I am from that generation when we were using films to take pictures, counting how many photos were left in the film just to not waste shoots. Now we take pictures of food and anything else but once we were very aware. So I have a huge collection of old films. Kodak has thought of this and it has launched this amazing Scanza Digital Film Scanner, so that all your old pictures can be saved for ever on your PC or other devices and you don't require any software. It can scan 35mm, 126, 110, Super 8 and 8mm film as well as slides. Now this is a gift I would love to receive in order to store safely my archive. Currys PC World is among the retailers that stocks this little beauty. www.kodak.com
