Photo frames have been digital for a while now. They are
stylish and tech smart. Yes, you can get these easily at all electronic stores,
but what is a wedding gift that’s not a little extravagant? It is okay to
splurge on digital photo frames especially for the ones that are wireless. To
begin with, a wireless digital frame obviously provides you mobility. If placed
at an accessible area, a wireless digital photo frame will let your friends and
family add their own photos to your screen show from anywhere in the world.
Additionally, if it makes sense for you, the se frames can also be used to
showcase information like weather and news feeds.
A few recommendations:
HP DreamScreen ($200 to $250)
eStarling TouchConnect ($200)
Toshiba Digital Media Frame ($180 to $230)
Kodak EasyShare ($100 to $230)

With time, solar-powered lights
are gaining worldwide acceptance and becoming another essential for your house.
More and more solar lights are now designed to fit into any part of your room
unlike prototype designs that had a cord protruding from the base. These lights
or lamps will have to be placed in an area where it can get enough sunlight
during the day. As with everything solar powered, the user needs to be
extremely patient with the charging process. For instance the Can You Imagine
LED solar Lamp from Geeks.com that retails at $17 takes about 9-12 hours to
charge completely. It then uses this charge to power the LED bulb that can be
lit up to slightly lesser span of time than that, approximately 3-6 hours.
However, it is important to note that this light comes to you free of cost and
you can be proud to do your bit in conserving energy by gifting a green energy
gadget!
A few suggestions:
Can You Imagine LED Solar Lamp
($17 at Geeks.com)
Sunnan Work Lamp ($20 at Ikea)
Smart Solar Powered Table Lamp
($80 at Amazon)
For the Kitchen: Cool Appliances
There are literally thousands of
cool kitchen gadgets that you can choose from to gift to newlyweds.
Starting with coffee machines,
some of which can be really fancy and intimidating, there is a whole range to
look at! Keurig machines however, have made a name for themselves that is tough
to compete with. Basically, any coffee machine that used ‘pods’ can be pretty
good. All one has to do is fill the reservoir with water, throw in a coffee pod
and place a cup underneath the spout. All that’s left to do then, is to press
the button and you will get almost-instant coffee that possibly tastes better
than any instant coffee. To clean up, throw the empty pod away and that’s done!
If you know a germophobe or
someone with OCD about cleanliness is getting married, you might want to look
at touch less faucets that are available in the market today. Touch less
essentially cuts down the need to touch with hands. You still have touch these
things to get anything done but one is able to control that by using wrist,
forearm, and elbow- but not hands.
A few suggestions:
Keurig Brewing Systems ($90 to
$250)
Delta Touch2O Faucet ($400)
