By Friday the 13th or at the latest Saturday the 14th of September, you might be surprised to know that you have 100 days to shop before Christmas! It may not seem that way, but it is. To help you decide on early Christmas shopping ideas, consider tech gadgets as a genre of gifts to buy for friends, family or yourself.
Apple Inc's latest release of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C are certainly favourites in this category, but so are Xbox one, tablets, E-reders, the new Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, and Sony's Play Station 4 video games console. Both Xbox One and Playstation 4 are due to be unveiled in November, ahead of the holiday season.
You might also consider the latest grooming gadgets like Panasonic's Nanoe beauty kit that comes with a hairdryer and a compact electric toothbrush. There is also the Philips' Laser Guided Trimmer. This gadget will ensure that all your hair is trimmed in the same length and in a straight line - not bad for a trimmer that can save you a bundle on less frequent visits to the barber shop during the economic recovery!
Apart from these holiday shopping items, there is something that stands out as a gift for everyone. You might think of it as an accessory but Sony's QX10 and QX100 camera lenses that attach to your smartphone converts it into a razor sharp image-maker. These lenses are unique in that they can attach to your cell phone using a wifi and the smartphone may be used as a viewfinder. The best part is that it connects to an iPhone via Bluetooth.
One of the reasons why camera sales are declining is due to popularity of smartphones.
Zuo Yanque, brand director at industry watcher CMM, China Market Monitor Co Ltd was quoted as saying , "There is no need to bring along a camera if your mobile phone can take pictures of similar quality."
In a nutshell, with the release of camera gear like QX10 and QX100, you have the best of both worlds with a an exceptionally sharp lens on your smartphone, even if it is low on megapixels.
