“12 Gizmos of Christmas”: #10, Digital Camcorders

Digital Camcorders are slightly lower in our “12 Gizmos of Christmas” feature coming in at the number 10 spot. Personally, I want an Official Sony HDR-SR1 AVCHD 4MP 30GB High-Definition Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom! Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll get it as my wife keeps telling me “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”

“12 Gizmos of Christmas”: #11 Computers and Accessories

Dropping a spot from #10 last year to #11 this year, the Geeks have determined that Computers and Accessories are going to be the 11th most wished for item under the tree. Every year since starting the “12 Gizmos of Christmas” we have decided that this category has deserved a spot.

Since Computers and Accessories is a fairly large category, we fought over which three entries would make the list. After all, this group could very well create it’s own top 12 list. Since we both got tired without gaining the upper hand we finally had to compromise. Check out our three entries throughout the day starting with the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP wide-screen flat panel monitor.

“12 Gizmos of Christmas”: #12 GPS

It’s official, Christmas shopping season is here! The Geeks have finished researching various online and print magazines as well as checking with online vendors to see what the best selling items are and have created the 3rd Annual “12 Gizmos of Christmas”.

As always, we countdown to the most wanted gizmos for Christmas starting with the 12th most popular group of gizmos. This year we have a newcomer that we believe will be under quite a few Christmas trees this year… coming in at #12, GPS devices have made the “12 Gizmos of Christmas” list.

Enjoy our top three picks over the course of the day.

For the most part, Halloween is a festive day filled with costumes and goodies. But thanks to a handful of bad apples, it has also become a night associated with pranks and other mischievous shenanigans, including smashing pumpkins, strewing homes with bathroom tissue or throwing eggs. Fortunately, with the right equipment, you’ll be able to turn the tables on those late-night hooligans. Just put a Scarecrow Water Spraying Repeller on your lawn, and anyone that gets near your home will be blasted with a jet of cold water!

Flying Grim Reaper Halloween Prop

Flying Grim Reaper Halloween Prop

As a kid, my brothers and I would always rig up a flying ghost outside that would “fly” from one end of our house to the other on a rope and pulley system.

The Flying Grim Reaper Halloween Prop comes with a 25 foot rope and can move or “fly” back and forth across the rope. The Grim Reaper also makes creepy sounds while flying adding to the spooky illusion.
