Personally, this toy kinda creeps me out. But then again, I’m not a cat person. OR maybe I don’t understand the true meaning of this toy.

I’ll be honest. This gift is actually for myself and won’t be available until February 2015. But when you tout your product as the “perfect keyboard for the iPhone,” the wait is worthwhile for the Next Keyboard.

Slide on the space bar to move the cursor? Genius.
spacebar-slide

My personal favorite, no confusing shift keys.

Swipe key entry for one handers. Handy. No “full access” needed. That always scared me. And there’s more, but all you have to know is that the product resonates with iPhone users witnessed by complete backing after days of its Kickstarter launch. You have $5 to spare for the “perfect keyboard for the iPhone” right? Merry Christmas to you!

That’s so two weeks ago! Your digital packrat deserves two more terabytes like these new Western Digital 10TB, Ultrastar He10, drives. Yes, these drives are filled with helium that provide less resistance than oxygen and data is recorded on tracks shingled analogous to roof shingles. All in all, the size limit of 4-6 TB drives is shattered by the Ultrastar He10.

Not so fast on buying this gift though. Pricing hasn’t been announced but don’t be shocked to see price tags upwards of $1000.

It’s not too late to become a “social media giants.” You can learn the proverbial ropes of how to use social media to build your brand and online presence by reading Guy Kawasaki’s latest book, The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users.

Just published, this contemporary book is rated at 4.8 out of 5 stars after 144 reviews, so you know it’s gotta be good! If you’re gifting this book to a future social media-ist consider the Kindle version that can conveniently launch the book’s links. Read it, see it, do it. Can’t be much easier to pick up the tricks and start mastering the art of social media.

Outfitted with APL’s special Load ‘N Launch technology, these kicks supposedly give you more hops. I’m not talking Spud Webb springs but hey, if your dream is to jam one home, then maybe the Load ‘N Launch is the missing piece.

According to the company’s FAQ, the average increase in jumping ability is 3.5 inches. An added 3.5 inches to your vertical ain’t nothing to ignore. Perhaps you can be like 5-5 tall Porter Maberry, throwing’em down in APLs.

Check out the APL basketball and now running shoes this holiday season.

Protection, weight, looks, feel, cost – there are so many variables to consider before making your pick. For example, take this awesome looking iPhone 6 case constructed out of carbon fiber. Made by Carbon Trim Solutions, this case is stylish in gloss or matte and affords great protection. But it does cost roughly $80. But just look at it, and the cost becomes more palatable.

Well, as a holiday gift, I surely wouldn’t complain upon receiving this unique-looking case. I’m leaning more towards the muted matte finish hint, hint.

Arist is yet another Kickstarter innovation, blending technology with coffee. Can’t get better than that right? With an accompanying smartphone app, you can download various coffee drink recipes, and Arist will concoct that drink. That’s your personal barista right there. Watch this promotional video to learn more.

This holiday gift is going for a $299 Kickstarter pledge but later the price of the Arist goes to $349. Since we are talking Kickstarter, the product won’t be available immediately (read this holiday season). Funding goals have already been reached so that’s an excellent sign looking forward to the projected June 2015 launch date of Arist.

As a holiday gift, either of these will visually and aurally excite any HK fan.

So many colorways are coming, but the HRT of a Lion goes with Christmas rather well.

Basically, post workout, active women can “change clothes in public without getting naked.” Easy enough to understand, and this project is well underway with their initial funding request of $22,000 obliterated with over $290,000 worth of pledges.

With a pledge of $69, you can order an Undress in a variety of sizes and colors with free shipping too. However, as a holiday gift, the Undress won’t be ready until January 2015.

I wish I had the radio advertisement for Zula to play back for you since really it says it all. A local style workout DVD featuring all Hawaiian kine music. The perfect gift for your friends on the mainland!

Okay, really, that’s all I know about Zula which I’m guessing is a word mashed up from zumba and hula. Somehow sumo great, Konishiki, is involved as well. Anyways, this is one of those gifts that is truly unique this holiday season.

Get Zula Fitness Vol. 1 on Amazon.
