With everyone rushing to the stores to finish or start their Christmas and holiday shopping, we thought'd we'd put together a list of some cool products and gadgets that might fit the people you are shopping for. Either way, we think they're cool, so here you go.
BallerStatus T-Shirts
Everyone likes T-Shirts, so what better tee to rock than a BallerStatus one (shameless promotion, lol). Sorry ladies, no girls t-shirts at this time, just for the fellas. There is two different designs (logo and script) and both are available in black or white. Order them here for $10.99 and rock them proudly.
Zune 2 Media Player (80 Gig)
While the iPod has been the talk of most media player enthusiasts, the second generation Zune packs a punch, and has slimmed its body down from its first time around. With the unique ability to wirelessly sync content and share music among other Zune users wirelessly, it is quite appealing. That coupled with a 3.2-inch LCD color screen and a quite large amount of storage, consumers will be quite pleased with this product. Retailing at just $249 is it priced competitively, which is why it was chosen by us as a hot item for people to purchase for someone for Christmas.
SoloPipe
The SoloPipe is a very nifty item, at least for smokers of tobacco or other "stuff." It boasts the title of being "the world's first self-igniting pipe" due to its built-in light design. With the push of a button on the side, a side mount pops up right above the pipe's bowl igniting a flame and with an inhale, lights the plant you choose to smoke without the use of a lighter. For the casual or regular smoker, this makes things a lot easier. Its features a sliding bowl cover, refillable gas valve, adjustable flame control and even comes with a cleaning kit, extra screens and carrying pouch. It is available in chrome, candy copper and black steel and retails for $69.99.
Halo 3 Legendary Edition
The "Halo" game series is one of the most popular in gaming history. "Halo 3" drew media attention for months before its release and months after, so for any gamer this is a no-brainer. The Legendary Edition comes packaged in a Spartan helmet case within which gamers will find two bonus disks full of additional content, including behind-the-scenes footage and developer commentaries, as well as a collection of original "Halo 3" storyboard art from artist Lee Wilson, depicting key moments and pivotal scenes from the epic cinematic production of Halo. This version is only available in limited quantities and retails for $149.99.
Sirius Stilletto 2 Portable Satellite Radio
Let's face it satellite radio is the sh--, and Sirius is leading the way. For subscribers of Sirius, you're already in love with it and can't imagine going back to really FM or AM radio. Well, this is a nice way to take your satellite radio with you on the go, anywhere. It also doubles as an MP3 player, so when you're not listening to the countless stations, you can play your own music, not to mention up to 100 hours of program recording. It's much slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, and retails for $349.99, but Amazon.com has it for as low as $279.
Apple iPod Touch (16GB)
After Apple debuted its iPhone, which featured its unique touch screen, it rolled out its iPod Touch shortly after to rave reviews. It boasts the multi-touch navigation screen just like the iPhone, a Safari browser, the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and internet, the very larger, video worthy screen and is smaller and slimmer than its iPhone counterpart. The setbacks, though, include no wireless syncing like the Zune, and the biggest, its limited capacity. With such a nice, large screen for video playback, it's a shame Apple didn't up its storage capacity. If you're looking to playback a lot of video, this may not be the best choice, but it still is a very nice media player with a big price tag, retailing from $329.95 - $399.99.
Tiffany & Co. 1837 Cigar Tube
High-end retailer, Tiffany & Co, has created a very nice cigar case from the 1837 collection for all you cigar connoisseurs or ballers. The cigar tube is made in sterling silver and 6.25 inches in length, which will fit most cigar sizes. According to Sybarites.org, the cigar tube features a rubber seal designed to maintain the humidity and replicate the environment of a humidor as best as possible in order to preserve the moistness of the cigar. At $225 it's pricey, but if you're looking for something for a regular cigar smoker, this is it.
Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds (Hardcover)
This hardcover is a nice collectible for those who collect vintage Playboy magazines or something to display on your coffee table (if you are so inclined). No one ever picked up the mag for the articles, so this hardcover displays more than 600 of its Playmates. It's 720 pages in length and comes in a velvet-lined, embossed briefcase with combination-lock clasps. The collector's edition book retails for $315.
Santiago Choppers Skull Helmet
For all you chopper diehards or weekend riders, this is a way to make yourself look cool while wearing your helmet ('cause it's the law and it protects your skull). While it will definitely improve your manliness while riding your chopper, bicycle or whatever else, it will make other drivers think twice before f---ing with you. In the words of Santiago Chopper via their website, "This bad ass looking helmet will scare the crap out of any onlooker while you’re enjoying you mid day cruise. Not only is it light weight, but it's very comfortable inside, and has a lot of breathing space." The Skull Helmet sells for $149.00.
Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder
This handheld camcorder is a very easy-to-use lightweight video camera for amateurs trying to catch moments on the fly or anything else you'd like to capture quickly. The Flip Video Ultra makes it very easy to capture and share low-resolution video via email and the internet, via its nifty hideaway USB connector. It's not gonna catch breathtaking high definition video by any means, but will capture moments at a moments notice and can be stowed away in your pocket or purse because of its small size (weights 5-ounces, and 4.2 inches in height, 2.2 inches in width and 1.2 inches in depth). It comes with 2GB of memory and is capable of holding 60 minutes of video. It retails for $149.99.
imberland HT2 Watch
This watch is a must of outdoorsman or if you’re planning to spend any amount of time deep in the forest. The Timberland Outdoor Performance HT2 Watch looks very stealthy, coming with a black dial with silver colored numerals and hands and a black silicone rubber strap. It also features both digital and analog clocks to cover four different time zones, an altimeter, a thermometer and a barometer to track weather conditions, and a compass for navigation. For $345, it's pricey, but hey, it's Christmas. and any outdoorsman would love.
Casio G-Shock Watch
Casio G-Shock and Baby-G line of watches have been very popular for quite some time. They come in several different colors, and in metals and plastic. The watches boast features such as shock resistance, water resistance (depth varies), an electro-luminescent backlight with afterglow, digital output and mineral crystal to add to its toughness (some have plastic glass). Others also have a stopwatch feature as well. The line of watches sell anywhere from $35 - $100 and up.
Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD700
This is the world's smallest and lightest 720p high definition digital movie camera, that's what Sanyo's selling point for this tiny handheld video camera. At 2.9 x 1.4 x 4.3 inches (W x D x H) and 3.2 pounds in weight, it's impressive. It is a 720p MPEG-4 enabled, 5x optical zooming, multi-colored high-definition recording powerhouse. Perfect for going anywhere and doing and filming anything. It records videos and photos directly to a standard SD or SDHC memory card -- capable of recording up to 2 hours and 46 minutes of 720p high-definition video on a single 8GB card (sold separately). Although Amazon.com prices it at $540, they also sell new from other retailers (on Amazon) for as low as $399.
Qingbar GP300
This is for all you people who don't have a huge LCD TV in your living room. The costs of those TVs run thousands of dollars, so this is your alternative. These Wireless Video Glasses by YelloMosquito look like a great alternative, although when you use them, you'll most likely be in your own world. The Qingbar GP300 allows you to enjoy a big cinema screen experience through a pair of glasses, and hi-fi audio through high quality earphones in one tiny device eliminating the distraction of wires. It is totally hands free, mobile and private. According to YelloMosquito's website, the video displayed through the glasses simulate the image of a 50" display. Now that's dope. I'm thinking these glasses would be perfect for gaming. They are available in either black or white frames and retails for $399.
VRX Mach 4
This isn't the most realistic gift, but if you're very wealthy and you or your children are into gaming, this has got to the best gift of all-time. The VRX Mach 4 is a blend of cutting edge technology joined with an ascetically stunning design. The simulator is powered by four Xbox 360s, outputting 4 Teraflops of power, which drive the 3 Sharp Aquos LCDs; the fourth Xbox 360 powers a 7" LCD rear view mirror which elevates the virtual racing experience to a new level of realism. It also boasts an incredible Bose Acoustimass 10 series surround sound system with subwoofer, LED lighting effects and even a beverage holder. According to Acquire, the system sells for $25,000, although the VRX website does not list it.
Hercules Series Laser
Here is something fun. It's a light saber, so you can re-enact "Star Wars" with your friends. No, it really isn't, but it is cool. It's a high-powered laser that you can use to burn things with or whatever else you have in mind. It holds the power of up to half a watt of laser light in the palm of your hand, according to the manufacturer Laser Glow. Uncrate.com says that it has the capability to burning through cardboard and thick plastic, sort of like using a magnifying glass. Anyhow, it's definitely something to cause mischief with -- such as igniting fireworks fuses and matches, and or popping balloons -- all with a beam that can be seen miles away. These aren't cheap though. They start at $989 and go all the way up to $3,000.
