Are you looking for some creative gifts? Maybe some that would have never crossed your mind to get? Well, head over and check out Hammacher Schlemmer!

During the 1930s and 40s, the name Hammacher Schlemmer would become synonymous with innovation. It was here that the world first encountered the pop-up toaster (1930), the electric razor (1934) and the steam iron (1948). Later, Hammacher Schlemmer would offer the first electric pencil sharpener, food processor, electric can opener and automatic coffee maker. Other notable introductions include the first microwave oven (1968), telephone answering machine (1968) and cordless telephone (1975). At their introduction, these products were viewed by many as intriguing gadgets, but the company saw them as functional problem solvers.

Hammacher Schlemmer continues to serve customers' needs in ways that no one else does or can. While some of the products may appear unusual, they all share the common goal of meeting the special needs of our many customers, just as a one-of-a-kind plumb bob did over a hundred years ago. From the beginning, our standards demanded quality, functionality and exemplary service. Some things should never change.

When I said unique gifts, I mean it. Now I know none of us will ever be able to afford this:


But here in the south, that would be the talk of the river driving that around!

But, I was able to review The Voice Command Smartphone Watch:



The watch is very nice and the screen easily seen. This is more of a man's watch than a ladies as it looks really bulky on my wrist.

This is the only watch that relays voice commands to a smart phone buried in a purse or tucked safely in a pocket. The watch appears to be a classic analog design, but a discreet speaker and microphone transform it into a one-touch communication hub on the wrist. Using Bluetooth 4.0, the watch relays spoken commands to a paired iPhone or Android phone, acting as liaison for calls and texts, as well as a remote for any voice command you would normally give your phone. The watch vibrates and buzzes for incoming calls, and the small LED screen at the edge of the watch face reveals the caller's name. The screen also displays incoming texts or e-mails, according to the user-selected settings in the app interface on the phone. The app also features a "leash" function to alert users if the phone has been left behind, and a remote that engages the shutter on the phone's camera for group shots. Stainless steel case with leather wristband. Includes micro USB cable for recharging. Charge lasts seven days on standby, with two hours of talk time

There are some downfalls to this watch though:

1. Bulky design so it is really only suitable for men
2. Not able to silence the speaker, so everyone can hear your call
3. Not waterproof, so rain is an issue
4. Charge last up to 2 hrs. For most business men, that could be bothersome as to have to charge it every few hours.

Otherwise, this is a nice watch and not bad priced at $299.99
