Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be featuring gift ideas from Small Dog staff members here and on our blog. Stop by often to see what we think would make great gifts this year!
iPod nano, $149.99
“This makes a perfect gift for young and old alike (I’m identifying with the latter more and more, by the way). It’s light, yet solid, so it’s perfect for small (or perhaps clumsy) hands. The big round icons are colorful and easy to use, and it’s a great nano for a tween, gym rat, or parent on your list. It keeps your digital content simple, and I love the sleek, small size and the fact that it comes in seven colors.” -Kali
Magic Trackpad, $69.99 and MagicWand, $29.99
“Magic Trackpad is ideal for anyone using a Mac desktop. It allows one to use all of the innovative features that Mac OS X is capable of — including all of the Multi-Touch gestures to navigate multiple windows at once. It’s made with the same glass that the laptop trackpads are made from, however it is larger to accommodate for the larger screen of the desktops. If you have an Apple Keyboard, you can connect it with the Trackpad using the MagicWand by Twelve South!” – Austin
Adobe Photoshop Elements $89.99
“I use Photoshop all the time for work, but I’ve found that for most people, Photoshop Elements does just want they want — and the price is right! If you know someone who is into photography, or even just the casual iPhoneographer, they won’t be disappointed with this.” – Steph
iPad mini, from $329.99 and Hammerhead Folio Case, $29.99
“Well, it’s my birthday today, and I’m hoping to see one of these. The iPad mini is really the best version of the iPad for me because I love that it fits easily in one hand. My son is already excited about all of the games he could play on it, and I know my husband would probably want to swipe it for a meeting or two on the mountain. OK, Don, here’s your chance…” -Kerry
Hammerhead Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable, $29.99
“I have a Mac running 10.8 and an Apple TV, and let me say that video mirroring is amazing. However, sometimes I still prefer the old method of connecting the two via a cable. There is less lag when heavy graphics are being displayed and sometimes I would rather extend my display instead of mirroring it. That is why I highly recommend to anyone who owns a Mac to also have a Hammerhead Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable on hand. It is easily the best money I’ve spent on an accessory for my Mac!” – Mike B.
