Girlawhirl loves surprising her friends and family with a cool electronic gadget that she's seen in her travels or come across while shopping. This year she's geared up to give the very best gadgets and gizmos she can find…
• Girlawhirl is well adapted to the word of digital photography. She can't even imagine how she survived before. But that doesn't mean the rest of her family is. And of course there are all those photos taken of herself and her sisters as they grew up. That's where the Veho™ Film and Slide Converter comes in. It turns 35mm negatives and slides into digital images that can be saved and stored in a computer. And once saved, these old images can be touched up just as easily as digital photos.

• Girlawhirl has been into giving digital photo frames for a while now. But now the TAO 1.5-Inch Digital Photo Keychain takes the idea of a digital frame and miniaturizes it! Up to 31 photos can be downloaded directly from a PC or MAC, and can be viewed on the OLED display screen individually or as a slide show. Girlawhirl can't wait to share it with all the moms still harboring their inner tech-addict.

• For a little companionship during those late nights at the office, Girlawhirl's giving her workaholics the best kind of pet for their lifestyle, the kind that doesn't have to be fed, and can be unplugged at night. The USB Chameleon spins its eyes and extends its tongue when first plugged in, and then occasionally throughout the day. This little, bendable, guy is great for kids looking to spice up their monitor, and fun for adults burning the midnight oil.

• Really, shouldn't gadgets be fun? And Girlawhirl can't begin to tell of the fun she's had with this little universal remote. She revels in the endless hours spent driving friends crazy as she secretly mutes the television from across the room, or turns it off right as the football is soaring toward the goal post. Channel up. Channel down. Really, whatever causes a quizzical look on her friends' faces. But she may have to think twice before giving this gift, because once she does, her mischievous secret it out!
