Clock Radio

Way Off Topic No Comments »

One of the gifts I’m thinking about getting my husband is a new clock radio. Although he likes the one he currently has, it’d be nice to have one that was more feature-rich and easier for me to operate since most of the time the alarm goes off after he is out of bed.

There are many options now in choosing a digital radio and a lot of factors to think about before purchasing one. With his clock radio, a CD player would be a nice bonus. Since most CDs we do not listen to every song by the artist, having a clock radio with a programmable CD player is a must have feature. This way we can hear the songs we won’t and not suffer through the other music.

In a world filled with MP3 players, it feels a little backwards to be focusing on a radio. I still love radio and listen to it way more than my MP3s. It’s just been a while since I bought a digital radio so a refresher course into what to look for is helpful.

Casual Games for Christmas

Game Talk No Comments »

As a casual gamer, nothing gets me more excited than a new game. It doesn’t matter if it’s video, board, or card, I love them all. I think casual games make a great gift for gamers and non-gamers alike.

Who hasn’t heard of Bejeweled or Bookworm and wouldn’t enjoy owning it? Casual games are affordable and usually don’t require high performance from computers. So, for someone with a little older computer can still play new casual games.

This Christmas you can simplify your giving while giving them a gift they will use. Casual games are the way to go with thousands of titles to choose from.

Wall Art Idea

I’ve been looking into personalized photo gifts for various family members this holiday. While I’ve found many impressive photo items, none are as impressive as Wallhogs.


Wallhogs are your photos or graphics that can be up to 7 feet tall by 4 feet wide printed on a semi-adhesive vinyl. Wallhogs are affordable and are priced under $100. While this may not be a gift idea for anyone on my list, I’m thinking of the possibilities for some of the walls in our home. The game room has a wall perfect for some of our artwork or a scene from Halo, The Sims, or other favorite game. A wallhog for the baby’s room gives us a great option for re-decorating without painting or hanging wallpaper. The possibilities are swarming. If I can’t find the right photo or image, Wallhogs is adding a gallery of stock wallhogs to choose from. A lot of options to mull over. First I need to measure that wall to see just how much space I actually have free.
