So what are the hot gadgets this holiday season?
Tablet PCs are very hot. iPads and Android talblets are in short supply and selling well. Inexpensive (less then $70) digital cameras are also hot. I have some customers that buy an cheap camera and just leave it in their car to have just in case. Flat screen TVs are very hot. The price of LCD, Plasma and LED TVs have come down and are available everywhere from Kmart to Walmart to any appliance store.
How about the Spynet Laser Trip wire? For $39 you can protect an area just like in the movies. Anyone that crosses the invisible laser light sets off an alarm. Pets will drive you crazy with this one, but kids love it "protecting" their rooms.
Want to know where your kid or pet goes? Garmin has the GTU 10 tracker. Just attach it to your kid or pet and you can go online and follow them around in real time or at your leisure.
Digital storage is also Big. We have 8GB flash Drives for $10 (a great stocking stuffer). External Hard drives to back up everything were hot, but are no longer available due to the Thailand flooding of most major hard drive makers. Solid State drives are now under $100 for 64GB sizes. These have no moving parts and are great for laptop replacement hard drives.
Last the ereader craze has been raised to a high level with the latest kindle and nooks. They are small (7" screen) but you really do get a lot for the cost. Just make sure you are getting complete Internet access with the ereader.
Wireless printers that let you print from anywhere in the house and from anything (phone, tablet, laptop) are also a very nice gift. You can also print to these printers from anywhere in the world with the e-print feature (HP exclusive).
