Geek Gifts

Here are hi-tech gifts that are functional and look great too. The products are from Fractalspin -- geekcessories galore!

1. Microcontroller Cufflinks & Tie Tack



The set of black cufflinks (and a tie tack in black and silver, shown above) are made from real microcontrollers. The tie tack costs $35.00 (~ € 25.41).

Microcontrollers are tiny, self-sufficient microprocessors that take up little space. The Basic Stamp controller is the most well known. It contains the memory and interfaces needed for simple applications.

2. Duct Tape Hybrid BiFold Wallet



A clean, minimalistic wallet that's super strong, being made of Duct Tape. The Ducti wallet uses Super Duct Tape so it won't peel or leak adhesive -- which can be a problem with traditional duct tape. There's room for credit/debit cards, cash, and there's a picture window for the owner's ID.

3. Odin’s Rage Watch



This LED watch (LED=light-emitting diode) substitutes a large inner dot for the hour hand position, and a small outer dot for the minute hand position. Uber funky.

The four small LEDs at the center represent the minutes between each five-minute increment, and the two small dots in the bottom center represent AM or PM. There are instructions on how to read the watch too.

Novelty Computer Mice

Crystal Skull Designer Mouse

"Arghh, matey! Here be pirates!!"

Mousenvy.com believes that (along with your car and shoes), your computer mouse says a lot about you. They've something for everyone, whether you're naughty or nice, crazy or conservative, geeky or chic.

The Crystal Skull computer mouse is designed by Pat Says Now, a (somewhat quirky-named) Swiss manufacturer of individual computer mice. The skull-and-crossbones are set in precision-cut, Swarovski crystal.

Simply plug it into any USB port, and click away. The state-of-the-art 800 DPI optical technology makes the Crystal Pirate mouse pinpoint accurate and fast. Because there’s no mouse ball, you won’t have parts to clean, and there's no need for a mouse pad.

The mouse is imported from Switzerland, and arrives in a sleek acrylic box.

Mousenvy.com has been featured by websites like CNET, PopGadget, GeekSugar, and CNN Money.

Pat Says Now is also the manufacturer behind the world's most expensive computer mouse.



There are two main designs for the moment: the Diamond Flower and Scattered Diamond. Available in 18-carat white or yellow gold, the design is set with 59 brilliant diamonds

At $24,180.00 USD, it's a trendy diamond "desk pet". It would make a great gift for a 60th wedding anniversary (diamond is the traditional gift for this event), or for someone who just plain already has it all.
