Holiday Gift Guide! Part 2

Time for Part 2 of the annual Byte-Sized Holiday Gift Guide, and I'm declaring this the year of the USB! Nowadays, everything hooks into the computer, and anything worth your hard-earned cash has a port or dock to keep you connected.

Here are 3 great gifts for the geek in all of us!

MIMBOT USB Flash Drives
MIMOBOT USB Flash Drives
Price: $24.99-$99.99
Buy it online at Mimobot.com

Have a totally geeky friend and don't know what to get him/her? Try one of these wicked cool MIMOBOT USB flash drives.* I know, sounds a little weird, but they are totally adorable and fully functional -- and who couldn't use a little smile while uploading or transferring files? Hint hint for anyone out there looking to buy me something... this little babies are the perfect place to hide files you don't want leaked and are great for stocking stuffers!

USB Slippers
USB Slippers
Price: $29.99
Buy online at PerpetualKid.com

Cold feet? Absolutely, you work in an office. So, here's the solution: USB slippers that heat up using a cord that plugs directing into and uses power from your computer. They aren't much to look at, but you won't have to worry about shorting out the fuse in your cubicle row anymore by plugging in that space heater you brought from home that management was too, um... restructured to buy right now. These are cheap, easy and sure to draw envious gazes from fellow cube-dwellers.

Tonia Welter USB Cufflinks
Tonia Welter 4GB USB Cufflinks
Price: $490
Buy it online at DijitalFix.com

OK, you may be a geek, but you've definitely got some style. Then this gift is for you: USB cufflinks and male and female jewelry that honest-to-goodness doesn't look like a DIY craft. This designer has created beautiful brushed silver pieces that would look great if they *didn't* include a 2 gigs of memory (the cufflinks have 4). My fave is the leather bracelet called the MÜNCHEN -- it looks like a hot trend you'd see on Banana Republic shelves, but it's way cooler even than that! These are not even close to cheap, affordable or even reasonable, but is high fashion ever?


***Click here to read my other Byte-Sized Holiday Gift Guide must-haves, and stay tuned for more great gift ideas next Monday, and a full platter of the top tech headlines Wednesday and Friday! Also, we may be having a big announcement in the next few days (crossing fingers) so stay tuned for that too!

*OK, I can't take full credit for this one, so thanks to our friends over at USA Today for the tip.
