Great Computer Deals & Information

With even science backing up the fact that most women adore the color pink, there’s a pretty good chance that you have friends or family members who would love a fabulous pink gift for their next birthday (or other special event). Here are 6 gifts no pink-lover can resist.

Weleda Wild Rose Body Oil Swiss company Weleda grow most plant ingredients that go into their products biodynamically in their own gardens on a plateau in southern Germany. Biodynamic cultivation uses no pesticides or toxic substances whatsoever, so you don’t have to worry about your skin absorbing all those pesky chemicals that are found in many mainstream oils and lotions. Their wild rose body oil comes in a dark blue glass bottle with a bright pink label and the main ingredients are jojoba, sweet almond, and organic musk rose oil. If the thought of putting oil on your skin grosses you out, don’t worry – it does get absorbed very quickly, and leaves your skin incredibly soft and sweet smelling (not overpoweringly “rosey”). $25.

Wine Opener The hot pink “Chic Lady” wine opener from L’Atelier du Vin deserves a place in any wine-drinking pink lover’s kitchen. At $44, it’s affordable enough that I personally would add a bottle of wine to go with it. Chateau De Segries Tavel Ros perhaps, in keeping with the pink theme. $44 for the opener and $17 for the wine.

Bialetti Cappuccino Maker If your pink-lover is into coffee, this one is sure to be a hit. With its black base, handle and top knob, pink upper half and lid, and Bialetti’s adorable logo, it’s so cute I’d keep it on my stove all the time. But it’s not all looks – it also makes delicious cappuccino right on your stovetop. Just put water in the base, coffee in the filter, milk in the top, and within minutes, you’ll have two cups of creamy, delicious cappuccino. Around $90.

Flip MinoHD Camcorder Electronics have come a long way from the days when everything only came in black or silver. But even so, sometimes you want to put your own touch on the design of your gadgets. Pure Digital Technologies lets you do that with their Flip MinoHD camcorder. They offer a huge variety of ready-made designs, but if you’d rather go with your own creation, you can either use their pattern maker to make up a brand new pattern, or upload a photo or design and have that printed on the camcorder. These cute little camcorders measure only 3.94″x1.97″x0.63″, weigh in at 3.3 oz., have a 1.5″ LCD, 4BG of built-in memory, a flip-out USB connector, 2x digital zoom, a tripod mount and an f/2.4 lens. $229.

Digital Camera Samsung’s sleek TL9 (NV9 in Europe) comes in a shiny bubblegum pink and is packed with great features: a camcorder, a voice recorder, an MP3 player, a text viewer and a multimedia player. The camera part of this little gadget is not bad either, boasting 5x optical zoom, 10.2 megapixels, image stabilization, face recognition, smile and blink detection, and a beauty shot mode which smoothes out the skin of your subject. It retails for around $240.

Cell Phone Ever heard of Vertu? This surprisingly little-known UK-based Nokia subsidiary make all their cell phones by hand and use materials such as ruby bearings, gold, platinum and liquidmetal (which is twice as hard a stainless steel). $6,300 and up.

Their Constellation collection includes the Core Range in polished stainless steel and bright pink leather, the Precious Range in black leather and 18 carat rose gold, and the Monogram Range’s “Cerise”, in stainless steel and a pink leather patterned back. All measure 4.3×1.7×0.6″, weigh around 5 oz, have Bluetooth email and speakers, and work in over 180 countries.

The Signature Diamonds collection has had a few eye popping designs in the past. A garish example was the “Cobra”, which had a cobra made out of rubies, diamonds and emeralds “slithering” around the face of the phone – not my cup of tea, but apparently a few people thought they were worth $310,000. At the moment, however, the pink offerings are very pretty and quite subdued: The “Rose Gold Pink Diamonds” and the “Rose Gold Pink Sapphires” are both encased in gold with the face framed by pink flowers (made from sapphires, rubies and diamonds). Both weigh 7.2 oz, have loudspeakers, voice recorders, work in 175 countries, and have 300 hours of standby and 3-9 hours talk time.

But wait, there’s more! All Vertu phones have a special “concierge” button, which when pressed puts you in touch with a personal assistant who can give you advice (in several languages) on restaurants, events, travel, accommodations and entertainment. 24 hours a day. $6,900 and up.
