USB Hub and Clock

Here's a good gift for dad this holiday season — a 4-Port USB Hub and Alarm Clock! I can't say I've really ever had the desire to have an alarm clock, calendar, and temperature gauge attached to my laptop, but it's kinda one of those gadgets you can see a guy in your life getting all excited about. Discussed on OhGizmo!, the clock is USB powered and includes a large LCD screen with both Fahrenheit or Celsius temperatures. The USB Hub can rotate 180 degrees and is both PC and Mac compatible. Priced at $20.

Scented Candles for the Long-Distance Girlfriend

If you really love your long distance gal pals, this holiday you should give them something they probably won't be buying themselves: scented candles. Scented candles will be the last thing on your girlfriends' minds or shopping lists during the holiday rush, but they're just that spoonful of sugar they'll need to unwind from the holiday hustle. That is, unless your friend is yours truly, who just bought herself this intoxicating and ultra-relaxing candle. Yes, I basically just proved myself wrong . . . but regardless, I've rounded up a handful of scented candles at various price points that you truly can't go wrong with. To see (or smell) my picks, click the images below.

What Was Your Favorite New Apple Product of 2007?

For the next couple of weeks, I'm going to be asking you what your faves were for 2007, then I'll recap your answers with my picks at the end of the month!

I think it's safe to say that if there were an Oscar for gadgets, Apple would hands-down win the award for best products of 2007. The iPhone in itself is enough to warrant an award, and with the addition of the Apple TV, the new MacBook Pro, the widescreen Nano, and the iPod Touch, Apple blew all other inventions out of the park this year. What was your favorite new Apple gadget this year?
