Just got another camera for Christmas – Lumix DMC L5. My second Lumix. The first one being the FZ28 (which is a very good camera). However, I need another one small enough to carry in my purse. So I think this would be good enough. Other than the specs stated down below, what I like about the camera so far is the colour. It’s pink! Other than that, is the uploading directly to Facebook and Youtube feature. That would save a lot of time indeed. These days not only one needs a good application for video download from youtube, but one that directly upload to youtube would be a great feature. Well at least for a youtuber who likes to upload videos like myself.

I will try to give a better review later on, once I get to use the camera a bit longer.

While looking at the classic racing car toys with raceways, I came across this cute ‘Hajimete macaroon maker’ with ‘Hajimete’ meaning ‘first’ in Japanese, this macaroon maker is suitable for little children (and adults too ) to learn make cute edible macaroons.

The macaroon maker set includes a mixing bowl, guide sheets (with templates), spoon, scraper, and 2 piping bags. However being a Japanese product the instruction guide is in Japanese too.

They look all so cute and pretty, but I just wonder how it would taste.

Although I am generally an early Christmas gift shopper, there are things that I like to buy the last minute. Like gifts for the kids so that to lower the risk of they finding out what I got for them – in case they found out where I hid the gifts. The internet can help find just about anything, be it Legacy System Operator Jobs or the rarest car part that aren’t sold in your local town anymore. But most of all I really appreciate the less headache and leg walk I have to do when it comes to gift shopping. After scouring the internet just for a few minutes I decided to get one of this for my 3 year old nephew.

The vtech slide & talk phone. A smartphone toy that not only good for pretend games but also teaches letters, numbers, counting, and alphabetical order. It has a phone book that contains 4 different friends whom the child can call or text. And to add to the fun there will also be suprise calls from silly characters.

I think it would be a great gift for toddlers who would like to have his/her very own smartphone like mommy’s and daddy’s.

Where ever I go I have 2-3 cable of chargers in my bag for the ‘just in case’ moments when I need to charge my phone and ipod. Well as long as I am near to a power source that is. But what if I’m out and about? Well, running out of battery juice at unexpected times and places so much so it becomes necessary for someone to come up with the portable charger. Even better if it is solar powered – perfect for those who are looking at green energy as an alternative. The Fusion Solar backup battery charger for ipod/iphone is the best choice.

Keep a charged up charger along with you anywhere you go for the extra juice you need. You can even plug it to your ipod/iphone and put it under direct light to get your device charging. You can charge the portable charger up through your computer if you want to get it to fully charged up quicker.

For about $20, I think this is a good bargain. A cool gift for Earth Day or the soon the come Christmas day.

After getting the Ipod and now a new touch screen phone, the touch screen gloves seems to be the next thing on the list of must have for touch screen gadget owners who live in a cold climate. I sure hate to take off my gloves when using my Ipod or phone. With the touch screen gloves, I won’t have to bare my digits to the freezing cold anymore.

With more and more people using touch screen phone these days, I’m rather surprise that it is not sold just about everywhere where they sell gloves.

If you are like me, who thinks practical gifts is the way to go – be it a pen to even rv insurance) you would think that such gloves would make great stocking fillers this coming Christmas.
