In case you've been living under a rock lately, and haven't noticed the Christmas commercials on your cable, the Christmas music at the mall and the Christmas everything else everywhere else, the holidays are definitely in season.But, whether you're feeling like Scrooge, or excited like an elf, you know the holidays can only mean one thing -- it's time to shop. And, when you've got a significant other to shop for, the buying gifts gets more stressful than Santa's workshop on December 24. But, never fear. No matter who you've got staring back at you under the mistletoe, there's a gadget you can give them that will light 'em up like a Christmas tree. Even if your significant other is more chic than geek.
For the stylish significant other, Etsy has a wide array of gorgeous custom gadget accessories. From hand-carved iPhone cases to jewelery made out of microchips, it's your one-site shop for all things handcrafted and homemade. If your beau is more of a bedazzled type, there's always the Swarovski Heart Ware collection - a pretty pun of a USB drive cleverly disguised as a glamorous heart-shaped crystal.
If your significant other is more geek than chic, there's always the old standby of ThinkGeek, which boasts brilliant gift ideas like a light-saber umbrella and the world's fanciest wind-up razor. Seriously, it's a wind-up razor. There's also a wide variety of watches that do everything from secretly videotaping people to playing full-color videos. Of course, if you really want to make the geek in your life feel special, you can always get the ultimate geek gift - a monogrammed USB drive. Gorgeous, silver plated, personal and totally nerd-a-licious - nothing says love like a 4GB slice of security - for your computer files at least.
Got a lover who loves the gym? If you really want to splurge on that special gym rat in your life, there's always the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. This super-sleek duo is the brain child of the good folks at Apple and Nike, and it's basically a fancy pedometer that also happens to be a music player that also happens to hook up with your shoes, so that everything works together while you run. If that's one too many features for your favorite fitness fiend, check out the Garmin Forerunner, which combines a GPS and pedometer into one sleek, simple interface that you wear on your wrist while running. Sure, it's a little pricey, but aren't your lover's glutes totally worth it?
