That time of the year
has come again when we celebrate happiness and wait for new gadgets to adorn
our lives. Over the years, people have been gifting their friends and family
sweets and clothes. But the time has changed now, and so have the gifts. I’m
sure your daughter won’t be asking for a dress on Diwali, but a high-tech,
expensive smartphone. Keeping this in mind, we take a look at 5 best gadgets
you can gift this Diwali.
1. Logitech UE Mobile
Boombox
Weighing just 298gms, this boom box is portable
and the perfect gift for all music lovers. It has a rough casing and comes in
different colours such as black, blue, white, green and red. You can attach
your iPod using the auxiliary input and enjoy music at a high volume. It would
be the best gadget for shaking a leg on this festive day. The best part about
it is that it can run up to 10 hours without any charging. And don’t worry, it
is Bluetooth enabled so you can easily pair it up with your smartphone or a
music player and listen to some good Punjabi songs on Diwali while bursting crackers.
2. Belkin Conserve
Valet
I have often seen people carrying 2 phones
(sometimes even 3!), but when it comes to charging them, they don’t have enough
sockets to plug-in their charger. This is where Belkin Conserve Valet comes in
the picture. You can plug-in this gadget, and it can charge up to 4 gadgets at
one time. Also, this gadget shuts itself automatically if no gadget is plugged
in for charging. It is a great electricity saver and the best gift for people
who use multiple gadgets.
3. Canon Powershot
A2600
If someone in your family or friends is into
photography, then Canon Powershot SX520 could be the best gift for them. After
all, this 16mega-pixel camera comprises high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, 42x optical
zoom lens, 3-inch LCD and also includes a battery charger. You can buy this
camera in 4 different colours blue, red, pink, or black and is pretty light to
carry. So how about capturing some new memories with this camera, this Diwali!
4. Philips Viva
Collection Induction Cooktop
Ok, this is my personal favourite! Many of my
friends live alone, and with LPG prices increasing day by day, I prefer to get
them an induction cooker that not only saves energy but also cooks food faster.
It can be regulated from low to high power, according to your need. The best
feature of this induction cooker is that you can set the timer when you are
heating or even cooking something, unlike a gas stove. Apart from that, it also
has preset menu for alomost 10 dishes (how about a feast tonight!). Celebrate
your Diwali by preparing food easily on Philips Viva Collection Induction
Cooktop.
5. Kindle Fire HD
If you have a friend who always has his nose
dug inside a book, then Kindle Fire HD would be the perfect gift for him or her.
It is a 7-inch slim tablet which can be used to download books, apps and
movies. With a resolution of 1280x800pixels, its display is quite crisp when
compared to other tablets. It runs on Android 4.0, is Wi-Fi enabled and has a
16 GB memory. Watching videos and playing 3D games will be a delight for you.
I’m sure you have already planned what gadgets
you are going to gift your friends and family members. After all, it’s Diwali! However,
you may consider some of these budget gadgets, to surprise your loved ones.
