Welcome to 2009! Whether you're back at work or still on holiday we've got loads of goodies to help keep you feeling the summer love! Click here for a taste of what we've got...
Finding a gift for the guy in your life can be tough at the best of times – what on earth do they need or want?
The heat is on, especially with Father’s Day approaching, so our gadget girl Tee has compiled three gadgets that are something a bit different for the men in your life.
Did you catch Tee on Breakfast this morning on TV One? Check her out here if you missed out. For the guy who: is a complete dunce when it comes to gadgets! What:Panasonic ToughBook Why they need it: If you need a laptop that can sustain extreme conditions (or a piece of technology for the guy who keeps breaking his other gadgets) the Toughbook is the laptop for the job! It may seem extreme - but that's what this bad boy is all about! Built to military specifications, the Toughbook is built to last. You can drop it, cover it in water, drive over it or stand on it and this tough cookie will be able to handle whatever your guy throws at it – literally! Perfect for those with an active lifestyle, an extreme vocation or a clumsy persuasion, this is the laptop of choice for Team New Zealand (they just throw it overboard when they're ready to sail) as well as intrepid adventurers who have taken it up Mt Everest and across the Antarctic! RRP: $5500 + gst Stockists:Panasonic and 0800 TOUGHBOOK
For the guy who: is a child at heart, or is still a child What:Hasbro Star Wars The Clone Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer Helmet Why they need it: The mission always come first! Who doesn’t need a fully functioning Clone Trooper helmet that lets them speak as if they were a real bona fide Star Wars Clone Trooper? Released in time for the new Star Wars Clone Trooper movie, these helmets are in hot demand! Need even more reasons why he'd love one? Hamish Coney from art auction house Art + Object told us that Star Wars toys like this stand to be worth big bucks in a few years, "original toys from the 1970s are now worth many hundreds and even thousands of dollars. The secret is to maintain the items in mint and boxed condition." In that case, you'd better buy two, as this is one toy that's too much fun to keep in the box for a rainy day! RRP: $79.99 Stockists:Toy World, KMart, The Warehouse and Toys R Fun from August 2008
WIN: We've got three of these hot Clone Trooper Helmets to give away to three lucky readers! See below for more!
For the guy who: already has too many gadgets to manage What:Philips Prestigo Universal Remote Why they need it: With every new home entertainment gadget, comes another remote and despite his best intentions, a myriad of remotes does not a good coffee table adornment make! That's where the new Philips Prestigo Universal Remote comes in! For the guy in your life that has too many gadgets to control, the Prestigo takes the form of one easy-to-control remote that controls 15 devices of up to 1500 different brands. This means that you and your guy can have control of all his gadgets at his fingertips! The Prestigo comes with an easy to read 2" high resolution LCD screen, a rotary cursor for speedy menu navigation and a macro function that allows you to control several devices at once. Imagine setting up a movie mode so with one touch you turn on the TV, DVD and Surround Sound at the touch of the button - this is a remote of the future! RRP: $329.00 Stockists: Available at major electronics retailers everywhere
