illuminating headphones.jpgNo explanation here. Just some good stuff for the Techy Dad.

 

Techy Dad obviously has a digital camera, and he'll want to show off his pics. But not just on the computer screen, but on his huge flatscreen TV, of course. Give him an easy solution with Sandisk SDV1-A Digital Photo Viewer with Remote - Memory Card to Television Transfer Device ($29.99). Yes, it's a complex title for something that's supposed to simplify things. Dad can stick his camera's SD card into the player, hook it up to the TV, and flip through his pictures with the included remote. leather usb stick.jpg(Even better - in his gift bag, include an SD card with photos already on it!)

Techy Dad also has an mp3 player, of course. So let him listen to music in style with the iBeat Illuminating Headphones ($29.97). "Beat earbuds with battery-powered EL-illuminated wires flash and blink to the beat of your music or provide a steady neon glow." The color names may be a bit trendy for Dad (Groovin' Green, Pop Pink, Acid Aqua), but he'll sure look fly. Or just stick to blue or white.

 

Techy Dad also spends a lot of time on his computer(s), and he'll have lots of files to transfer. So give him a leather-cased USB stick. This thing is just plain good looking, but beauty comes at a price: $65 for 512 MB or $105 for 1 GB. But I'm sure your dad totally deserves it.

I've definitely been known to fall for nifty gadgetry, but the illuminating, pulsating earphones are just gorgeous-oh wow! How's THAT for not wearing the standard white earbuds?
