Most Popular Gift 2011 – Apple iPad 2

TellMeAGift — Sun, 22 May 2011 02:35:00 +0000

There’s no denying that the item on the top of everyone’s wishlist this year is the Apple iPad 2!

For those who aren’t too sure what all the fuss is about – what is so good about the iPad 2?

Well where do we begin? First up the iPad 2 has forward facing and rear cameras (perfect for facetime); it also has a better process than the original iPad and it’s smaller now too. It also has a groovy new magnetic cover.

Sure there are other computer tablets that can do all the stuff that an iPad 2 can do, but let’s face it, none of them are quite as cool or as smooth and easy to use.

So if you are looking for a gift idea for a brother, sister, heck even your grandparents, then the Apple iPad 2 would have to be at the top of the wishlist.

Gifts for Cool Geeks

TellMeAGift — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:07:06 +0000

Geeks are the new quarterbacks and so now when we buy them presents we want to impress them with our geeky prowess.

But if when you are not a geek yourself it can be hard to know what to get them (for instance a book of sudoku puzzles probably won’t impress the modern geek)!

So if you want to impress that geek friend of yours or maybe just want some cool new geek presents for yourself then here are some geek chic ideas for you…

Every geek likes to look cool so a great geek gift idea believe it or not is clothes, especially tshirts.

If the tshirt has writing on it then it better be clever and witty otherwise you will want a shirt that is uber cool with colours that will impress his or hers most geekiest of friends.

Another gift than any geek is sure to love is of course gadgets, just make sure that it is new!

An old iPod mini isn’t exactly going to be useful to someone who already has an iPhone, iPad and the latest iMac now is it?

So when thinking of cool gifts look for the latest camera, video game consoles or a USB that will hold a serious amount of data.

Then of course there are the gifts that will keep that geek being well, geeky. That is DVDs, book and games and anything else to keep their mind active.

Trying to decide which to give isn’t rocket science though, your geek will probably love to watch any of the latest DVDs that are out just ask the shop assistant and they will not just what to choose for you otherwise if you’re buying online pick a best seller and you won’t go wrong.

Of course this is just the start of what you can buy for you loving geek but if you want an more personal advice then leave a comment or chat to TellMeAGift Chat!

Also keep a lookout for her new Heartbeats Fashion Earphones which will be sure to hit stores soon.

1. Lady Gaga Inspired Sunglasses

The Lady is often spotted wearing a hot pair of sunnies and now your lucky gift recipient can look just as awesome with this pair of Lady Gaga inspired vintage sunglasses.

2. Gloves

Lady Gaga may not wear much but she is often seen wearing a pair of gloves. So for an admirer to truly emulate her style a hot pair of gloves is a must. The ones pictured here are not only fashion forward but made from Italian leather to keep your hands nice and warm as well (not that practicality is a concern for most fashionistas).

3. Lady Gaga Inspired Fashion

Unless you’ve bee living under a rock recently you’ve probably noticed that Lady Gaga’s outrageous fashion styles have been leading the fashion trends lately. While she has an array of looks she generally has some common themes, which are leotards, one shoulder tops, latex, leather, high shoulders and anything tight. There are many looks to choose from but our favourite one to gift is this black one-shoulder dress by Alexander Wang.

4. Anything with bows

Lady Gaga has made bows cool again and chances are any fan of her will also be a fan of a cute bow. Get them to add a bit extra to an outfit or to be worn in the hair.

The Top Ten MP3 Players to Gift

TellMeAGift — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:00:33 +0000

The MP3 player has become the classic gift to get for just about anybody. MP3′s make a fantastic gift for the music lover or if you add a personalized playlist it can also be a cute gift for your crush or loved ones as well. So what are the best MP3 players to get? Keep on reading to find out.

1. The Apple iPod Touch

Okay so this may seem obvious, but the iPod Touch really is the best mp3 player around. Not only does it hold a whole tonne of music but you can watch videos on it and its fun and easy to use as well. If you want to get the best just get this one.

2. SanDisk Sansa Fuze

For those of you who aren’t so into iPods or don’t like using iTunes then the Sansa Fuze is for you. The Fuze may even be better than the iPod it just doesn’t come with the cool and hip factor. The Fuze has great music quality and it comes with a couple of extra features like an FM radio that you can record from, an external mic and a microSD card.

3. Apple iPod Nano

Now don’t be fooled by the size of these because they can still pack a punch. While these might not be quite as cool as the iPod Touch they are much easier to carry around. If the gift recipient is after something they can take to the gym with them and that comes in pretty colors too, then this is the gift for them.

4. Coby MP3 Player

If you’re after an mp3 player without the hefty price tag than go for the Coby. While it may not look as funky or be as fancy as some of the other mp3s it still does the job. It holds a fair amount of music and has good sound quality. The Coby is very good product at a very low price (currently only $40 from Amazon.com).

5. Archos Internet Media Tablet

Now this isn’t just any old mp3 player, this is more like a media centre at your fingertips. Take it wherever you go and you can watch movies on its wide screen, get WiFi access and a whole heap of other cool things you didn’t even know you needed. I may have said the iPod was the best for mp3s but this is a whole lot more.

6. Zune Video MP3 Player

Apple’s biggest competitor is Microsoft’s Zune. This has all the cool features you want in an mp3 player plus it has exclusive Zune radio channels, wireless sharing, access to videos, movies and is compatible with the Xbox 360. It also has a heap of other features that you’ll need to check out too. This is no doubt a wishlist item.

7. Sony Walkman Video MP3 Player

If you’re giving your mp3 player to someone who’s after something a little easier to use then go for the Sony Walkman. It has great sound quality, is slim and holds a long battery life, it just doesn’t have some of the bonus features that comes with your fancier mp3 players. A great gift though none the less.

8. Creative Labs Zen MX MP3 Player

This mp3 player comes with all the features you’ll need: sounds quality, battery life and a range of formats. It also comes with an SD card that makes it easy to transfer your music around. A great mp3 player with all the features and not as pricey as some of the other models.

9. Apple iPod Shuffle

Sometimes all you need is some music. The iPod Shuffle might not have any other features but it has all you need and that is some pumping beats. This is great if you just want to carry something light (this is super tiny) but beware it can get a little annoying if you can’t find the song you want to hear.

10. Mozaic LX

This mp3 player makes the list because it is so cheap and it looks quite pretty too. This would make a great gift for a little girl or for when you just want a little stocking filler but it is not as good as some of the other mp3s around.

Gifts for Teen Girls

TellMeAGift — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:31:12 +0000

Teenage girls can be hard to buy for, especially since they all grow up at different rates. You don’t want to get them anything that is too adult and yet you don’t want to get them anything too childish either. Lucky for you though I know just what teenage girls like and want right now.

The number one thing on every teenage girl’s want list is everything Twilight. Whilst it would be preferred that you give them Robert Pattinson in gift rap, they would settle for the DVDs, books, merchandise. You could also get them a movie gift voucher so they can be the first in line to catch the next movie from the Twilight series.

Teenage girls also care a great deal about their appearance, so trendy clothes and trendy accessories are high on their list of wants. If you are unsure of what to get for them just go into a clothing store that sells young people’s clothing and ask the sales assistant what the hottest items are at the moment. Don’t worry the sales assistant will know what your teenage girl wants, because they are selling teens their wish list items every other day.

Another big thing in the world of teenage girls is music. So mp3s will make an awesome gift and if you get the latest iPod then you will become her hero. If she already has an iPod what about some accessories for it, for instance some new earphones or a speaker system.

If you want to get any of these items right now then click here to find them at amazon.com.

18th Birthday Gift Ideas

TellMeAGift — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 09:26:54 +0000

An 18th birthday is perhaps one of the most special birthdays of them all, as it is the day that one begins their transition into adulthood. This birthday can be a tricky one to buy for as you need to walk a fine line between getting a gift that is too childish and also one that is maybe too mature. So I think when giving a gift for an 18th birthday or for any teenager it is best to stick with items that are “trendy” and new such as clothes, accessories or gadgets, video games and DVDs. Labels will also be important to this age range so try and stick with brands that they will know as they will want something that they can show off and that will impress their friends. Most young people also love celebrity culture, so what ever the stars are buying or doing, that’s what teenagers want too.

What to get for the 18 year old girl? -

What to get for the 18 year old guy?

The above ideas are just to give you some inspiration but there are plenty more ideas such as music, DVDs or books that would also make great gifts. Also if you live in a country where the drinking age is 18 years old then you could probably just get away with buying the 18 year old a bottle of alcohol or a set of shot glasses. Many young people would also enjoy an experience gift such as skydiving or anything else that will give them an adrenaline rush. Hope this helps, happy gifting!
