FAIRFAX, VA, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com), the online retail hub for technology
enthusiasts, today unveiled a list of high-tech gadgets specifically
engineered to be at the top of every dad's wish list this Father's Day.
"Father's Day is always a fun time when we get to roll out the gift ideas
that
really bring out the kid in every dad," said Caroline Offutt, general manager,
ThinkGeek. "Why settle for just getting him a necktie when 1.3 Megapixel Spy
Camera Sunglasses, for example, are just a few clicks away?"
Among the expected hot products for the grown-up geeks are the Nano Drive
R/C
Ferrari Replicas ($29.99), which fulfill every father's big dream in a
very small way with an officially licensed car that is about $300,000 cheaper
than
the full-sized version. Other products expected to be popular leading up to and
following Father's Day include:
-- 1.3 Megapixel Spy Camera Sunglasses ($99.99) - Not exactly sure why
you'd want to arm your father with covert means of snapping pictures via
his sunglasses? He'll be sure to have fun with this gadget -- which also
comes with built-in ear buds to enjoy MP3s.
-- Version 1.0 and Version 2.0 T-Shirts ($12.99 - $16.99) - If having
kids were only as easy as updating your software. Matching tees reveal that
kids are just a chip off the old version.
-- Stainless Steel Wallet ($79.99) - This amazing wallet has the texture
of silk -- but is made of woven micro fibers of stainless steel. Dad will
feel sleek and stylish as he doles out more cash for his children.
-- Indiana Jones Officially Licensed Fedora ($99.99) - Help your dad
achieve the iconic status he always thought he had anyway. Whip not
included.
-- Pogo iPhone Stylus ($24.99) - Tool specifically designed to let dads
fool hi-tech touch screens into thinking they have something other than
stubby fingers.
-- USB Storage Carousel for CD/DVD ($129.99) - For hi-tech fathers who
have traded in their 45s -- an automated storage solution that holds 150 of
the non-vinyl discs.
-- E-Ink Display Watch ($249.99) - Dads can now stare disapprovingly
between curfew breakers and this piece of timekeeping brilliance, which
easily changes its face with the push of a button.
-- Stand Alone or Car Cassette MP3 Player ($39.99) - Hip fathers with one
foot in the digital age can rock out to their digital music while riding in
their cassette-playing Oldsmobile.
-- Dueling Space Marines Copter Set ($39.99) - This set of two amazingly
small infrared remote control helicopters look like Space Marines and can
battle by shooting invisible IR beams (and thus answer the question of who
gets to drive).
-- Dough-Nu-Matic ($129.99) - Dads love doughnuts. 'Nuff said.
-- iRecord 1-Touch iPod Video Ripper ($199.99) - Let Dad instantly record
episodes of CSI or the entire Die Hard trilogy directly to his iPod, PSP or
any USB-based mass storage device.
