We all love receiving beautifully gift-wrapped boxes almost as much as the gift itself. If you are the kind of gift-giver who puts a lot of thought into making everything perfect for Valentine’s Day, this post can probably give you an idea or two on how to dress up your V-day gift.
Valentine’s day is a lovely event where roses are sent from a secret admirer, gifts are exchanged between lovers and couples enjoy romantic candle-lit dinners. Apart from the traditional bouquet of roses and box of heart shaped chocolates, the couple’s gift is a great exchange that both can cherish and enjoy for as long as they’re together.
If you're still desperate to get that Facebook acquaintance something for their birthday or some kind of anniversary, the Social Network has instituted a new way to take your money give. You'll be able to pick up gift credit for the likes of Jamba Juice, Olive Garden, Sephora and Target, plucking what you'd like from the "gift cards and digital" category inside the existing Gifts tab, and stating an amount and the name of the lucky gift-getter. The friend will be immediately notified and a lovingly Facebook-branded card will be sent to their residence.
With Christmas or a Birthday nearing you might be looking for the most ideal present for the web geek in your life. Purchasing the right present for your family members is definitely a challenge; and it’s even more so when your unique someone is a geek!
I've compiled a collection of 19 gift ideas especially for geeks. This list include accessories, clothing and handy little items that will be sure to please any geek our there!
It’s the month of December which means the gift exchange season is here. So no matter where you are, exchanging gifts is a must. It is a tradition which everyone has to stick to. Exchanging gifts not only makes people feel special, but also increases the feeling of love and care.
One thing which everyone has to keep in mind is to give gifts according to the recipient’s personality. The person getting the gifts should like the gift you give him/her; otherwise your gift is simply of no use! This is something you don’t want. Another thing to consider is the price of the gifts and your budget – as you have to give gifts to a lot of people in a limited budget. We all know that thinking up of a perfect gift for people which comes in your budget is not an easy task. But worry not, as we are presenting a collection 20 Amazing Techie Gift Ideas Under $10. Check them out, pick the ones you like the best, pack it in the best possible way and make your loved ones happy!
Gah! The gift exchange period is here. Whether you are at the office, or part of a community, the gift exchange tradition always has to happen. If you’re playing Secret Santa then you’d probably know what the person wants already but if it’s played in anonymous mode, well, we better start thinking up ideas to not come out looking like the Grinch.
Geeky gifts are all the hype these past few Christmases and if you have stumbled upon this post, you are probably looking for suggestions. For your safety, do not get these gifts for your loved ones (at least break the USD$10 limit for them).
It's that time of year, again. That time in which we all run around stressing out about putting down our credit cards or hard-earned cash money for those absolutely perfect things that our friends and lovers and family members will, we hope against hope, finally appreciate. The time that we overdo it, spending too much money (every year our mothers warn us against this!), or that time that we underdo it, only to pass along our sad little gift at the Secret Santa party for it to be scoffed at or ignored in favor of something legitimately good.
Is your holiday gift shopping done?
There are plenty of good deals to be had on high quality presents for freelancers. The clock is ticking down to that big present opening occasion. It’s time to get those purchases finalized, gifts wrapped, and sent off in the mail (or email for digital purchases).
The best gifts for freelancers are those that assist them with expanding their client base, help them organize their schedules, keep them in the work groove when on the go, and allow them to streamline their business more efficiently. We have an awesome assortment of gift ideas that fill those needs.
Earlier we had a post on 10 Christmas Gift Ideas for the Geeky Guy and since this is the age of tablets and smartphones, it’s no surprise that we also see many geeky gals out there. If you have a girlfriend, wife, best friend, mom or sister who is the ultimate geek (or even just a little bit geeky), we have some cool Christmas gift ideas to share with you.
Check out the folowing 10 gift ideas that are set to help you show some love to the geeky girl (or woman) in your life. Full list after the jump!
As Christmas is almost upon us I thought it might be fun for us to share some Christmas gift suggestions that we might like to see under the Christmas tree.
The idea is simple. If you have bought a gadget or other geek gift that you think is awesome, post it in the comments. If somebody else has suggested an idea that you agree or disagree with, add a reply.
To kick us off, I thought I would share with you my own suggestions. These are all items I personally own and can recommend. As it is Christmas, it seems only right that I share 12 gifts, one for each of the 12 days of Christmas.
Technology may not be the most personal of gifts, but it's got two things going for it as a holiday offering:
1. Typically this is the time of year when tech prices are cut
2. Tech gifts usually last for a while.
But how do you know what tech gizmo or service people want? Tthat's the real question, isn't it?
Start with this rule of thumb: Don't buy someone a smartphone or computer unless you know exactly what they want. Purchasing such items as a surprise gift - unless it's for a young child - usually doesn't work out very well, since the odds are you won't be able to figure what will really make them happy.
All is not lost, though. There's plenty of tech out there that makes a great gift for that special someone. I'll start with some cool stuff that I'm either buying or coveting. (If they don't work for you in terms of price or availability, hopefully they'll spark ideas for similar items.) And if you need hard-core gift suggestions for true technology professionals but don't want to spoil the surprise by asking what they want, take a look at the infographic from the IT community at Spiceworks.
Gamers will be ecstatic to know of all the nerdy pixelated products out their to satisfy their 8-bit cravings, but as the holidays are nearing, it’s time to think about others with some of these geeky gift ideas.
Regardless of age or gender, retro is always cool, which is why nerds should use these products with pride. Though some of these gifts are lightly larger for stocking stuffers, there’s no reason why you can’t get them for yourself. From low resolution 8-bit sunglasses to Mario-themed lighting, pixelated alien cuff links to promise rings and Nintendo wall decal, there’s something in here for any openly nerdy individual who is not afraid to geek out every once in a while.
In my exploration of others’ designs, I’ve often wondered whether my favorite works are a result of a designer’s acquired knowledge of the craft or a natural gift; whether some just “have it” and some don’t, or everyone has the potential to learn how to design.
In my research, I’ve come up short in finding sources that strictly refute my personal opinion: designing is a talent a person is born with that must be further cultivated through education.
Mother's Day is approaching fast. It's this Sunday, May 13.
Don't have an idea for a gift? Check out these tech items all priced under $200 to enhance Mom's life and make her day special.
Having a website is great because you can tell the world what you think or what you offer, but the hardest part is to interact with your readers. Sure, you can use the commenting system but is this enough? I don’t think that the finest user interaction is by waiting for the admin to approve your comment and then waiting for someone to reply, so the best method to offer them a live chat where they can talk instantly. But is it possible to implement such thing on a website? Sure it is, with ArrowChat.
That whole 'refer a friend' thing must be working. Or maybe it isn't. Either way, Dropbox has felt the need to double the extra capacity you get as a reward for persuading your buddies that cloud storage really is 153x better than a USB stick. For each successful referral, you'll now get 500MB up to a maximum of 16GB. Pro users will get 1GB per referral up to a limit of 32GB. Get in there quick before someone else in your gang starts promoting Google Drive and its rumored document editing capabilities.
Stockfresh, a site where you can buy royalty-free stock photos and vectors, has teamed up with us to give away 3 stock photo accounts preloaded with 100 credits (worth $79.99 each). Read on to see how you can be one of the 3 lucky winners.
Ever since T-Mobile and AT&T began touting their HSPA+ networks as "4G," the debate on the term's legitimacy has raged on. Regardless of how you feel about the matter, one thing's for sure: Apple's finally taken sides on the argument, and the company's all for it. In today's iOS update, Cupertino features an "updated AT&T network indicator," which means you'll see a 4G icon whenever you're in HSPA+ coverage. Granted, this doesn't actually mean you'll enjoy faster speeds -- you'll just have a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that another G just got added to your screen. Such an action makes us wonder if Apple's slowly losing its ability to stand up against AT&T's wishes, not to mention the demands of other US carriers.
Apple's App Store is fast approaching its 25 billionth download, no mean feat for something which only started out in 2008. To celebrate, the company is offering a $10,000 gift card for its various online stores.
Since launching on iOS devices in 2008, the App Store has become a huge success, enabling users to spend countless hours browsing its virtual shelves for games, books, news apps, health and fitness ideas, navigational aids, lifestyle suggestions….the list goes on. Countless software companies have sprung up along the way, creating a whole new industry and enabling anyone with an original idea to grab a piece of the app pie.
A promo page on Apple's site indicates that the App Store is about to hit its 25 billionth downloaded app.
There's a contest in place that'll earn someone a $10,000 gift card if he downloads the 25 billionth app. Maybe you?
