A Mind Reading Alarm Clock

Sleeptracker Pro WatchHave you ever noticed sometimes you can get 11 hours of sleep and still wake up a big grump and at other times you can get six hours sleep and wake up ready to take on the world? For the most part that has to do with sleep cycles–which, frankly, I know very little about–but I do know that the Sleeptracker watch is designed to optimize these cycles and wake you up (within a time window of your choosing) at the precise moment when your body will react both refreshed and alert. 

Imagine never waking up on the wrong side of the bed? The Sleeptracker is perfect for that morning sleepy head who can use a little help waking up right! Give it to the recent graduate who won't have you there to drag them out of bed every day or give it to your friend who just landed a new job–don't let them be late for their first day!

Upgrade for Skype Users

Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype If you travel internationally a lot, or have a close friend or family member who does, you no doubt already know all about the wonders of Skype. Skype is a great way to make cheap calls to overseas landlines and cell phones, and free calls to other Skype subscribers all around the world. What's not so great about Skype, though, is being tethered to the computer while making those calls. How are you supposed to multi-task while you talk? Or flip through the latest issue of US Weekly?

The Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype makes it possible to step away from the computer while taking advantage of Skype's free unlimited phone calls without the need of a PC. A great gift for the frequent flier in your life.

Corporate Flashcards

If you know someone who has declared 2008 the year to make a career–or to at least make it to the next rung on the corporate ladder–these corporate flashcards, featuring a pronunciation guide and definition and synonyms for 60 terms, are a great way to brush them up on their jargon and help fight that case of post-holiday, back-to-work blues.

While they won't guarantee an instant promotion or dream job, the flashcards will at least provide a helpful guide to climbing the corporate ladder. They're also a great gift for the recent college grad still looking for his or her first "real job."

Stylin’ Laptop Bags

January 11, 2008
Posted by: Dan T.

Golla Laptop BackpackOne trend that I keep seeing is people gravitating toward stylish laptop protection. Laptop bags, sleeves and packs are all all getting style improvements for safely taking laptops on-the-go. Golla showed off their latest line of gear at CES.

With colorful designs and sturdy construction, their bags are a nice option. Many of the color schemes will appeal more to women, but there certainly are some stronger colors the guys can also pull off. I really like the packs because there are tons of pockets to store all your stuff–camera, phone, iPod, snacks. Golla gear is a fine choice for the style conscious gadget gal (or guy) who loves to make a statement. Stay tuned to Gifts.com as this Golla gear becomes available later this year.

Stylish Lunch Tote

December 28, 2007
Posted by: Megan H.

Built NY Gourmet Getaway Tote If I had a nickel for every time I swore I'd start bringing a lunch to work, I could fund my next vacation. And if I had all the money back that I've spent on take-out lunches and delivery, I could probably just retire and spend the rest of my life on vacation. That's why this New Year's, I've resolved to bring my lunch to work and really stick to it this time. 

If you know someone in the same boat as I'm in, show a little encouragement with a Built NY Gourmet Getway Tote. Made of the same material as wet suits, the tote will keep food insulated for several hours, and the stylish bright colors won't scream "brown bag lunch!"

The Power of the Grid

NY Times Touchscreen Handheld Sudoku

I have a friend who used to be a "normal" newspaper reader. She would flip right to the horoscope section, quickly followed by the editorials and then the day’s biggest stories. But that was all before she discovered Sudoku. Now all I hear about is that little number grid! Want to discuss the big news of the day? Please—she has more important things to worry about—like where to fit the ‘2’!

She's getting a little less maniac about the puzzle now, but she still enjoys Sudoku when traveling and commuting so I think she'd love this digital Sudoku game. It would make an ideal bon voyage gift or congratulatory gift on a new job for someone about to spend a lot of time on a train or plane or bus. And if you're ready to start your Christmas shopping, it's a great stocking stuffer. Just make sure to warn them about its potential for addiction!

A Briefcase for Stylish Professionals

October 1, 2007
Posted by: Megan H.

McKlein Ladies Leather Detachable Rolling BriefcaseThe Sex and the City movie just started production here in New York and as still photos of the filming make their way to blogs, websites and magazines, I'm reminded how much Carrie's fashion choices astound me. I hear in one scene she's even carrying a purse shaped like Eiffel Tower to work. Okay, so maybe she has an office at Vogue now and can get away with that, but the average professional woman needs something a bit more functional.

Without sacrificing an ounce of style, this McKlein leather detatchable rolling briefcase delivers all the practicality a modern career woman on the go needs. Ranging in six hot colors in luxurious Italian leather, the McKlein bags even feature a removable laptop sleeve and ample space inside to ensure organization. A great birthday gift for the stylish professional as long as she's not a Carrie Bradshaw.
