Ideally, all of the gift you will give and
get will be located under the "interesting” category, but sometimes this
description is especially true. Welcome to the lighter aspect of technology,
where you will find rigs that make life more joyful rather than make an
impression with the mile-long specs lists. We do not say that these devices are
not friendly with productivity - the selections below allow you to make
everything from learning to playing guitar.

Hex3
Apptag Laser Blaster
There are plenty of blasters currently, but
the Hex3 AppTag highlights for its ultra-easy setup - it communicates with your
smartphone via high-frequency sound so it does not need to connect.
Additionally, a detachable pistol grip allows the unit to be fixed with Nerf
guns (and even real guns, though that combination does not mix well). As the
name implies, the blaster is pre-loaded with several applications / games, and
it includes the multiplayer and single-player modes to start playing
first-person shooter game.
Main Specifications: There is compatibility with iPhones /
iPods / Android devices; free AppTag apps, infrared beam shooting and sensors
for targeting, available included pistol grip.
Price: $60 from Hex3

socks or lured with secret Santa gift exchange in your office? The small-sized

Fitbit
One
An activity tracker is considered as an
"interesting" item? Not everyone will think so, but for those who
would love to exercise, the Fitbit One will provide the interesting statistics
that they desire. A number of steps, stairs, and calories burned and miles
walked will be all recorded and uploaded to the Fitbit website, and the device
doubles as a vibrating alarm clock.
Price: $100 from Fitbit
Mid-range
Powerpot
V
Who really needs a stainless steel pot
again? Initially a project on Kickstarter, the Powerpot V makes the rest of the
kitchen shame with its five watts of power to charge any device with a standard
USB port. Of course, it also works like any old pot - it converts the heat into
electricity - but the 3-foot flame-resistant cord boosts a little extra serving
of battery life along with boiled water for spaghetti tonight.
Main Specifications: 5W maximum output capacity, USB 2.0
port, and 1.4-liter capacity

inches supplies creative minds with generous space to start their career in
