If the person has a PC, why not give her/him a TV tuner so she can watch "Ang Panday" and "Wowowee" while blogging?

Digital Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas is fast approaching and I’ve been asking everyone for gifts! hahaha

From my end though, I thought it would be nice to come up with a set of list for a possible digital Christmas gifts. Here’s what I had in mind:

A digital camera, preferably Canon Ixus series. Hand-me-downs will do if they’re a close relative.
A mid-range Nokia celphone. Can be had for Php500 to Php800 a month for 12 months on BPI sale. I like the N6020 personally; the white has that iPod feel to it.
Desktop speakers. Logitech has a lot of good ones between Php1.5 to Php3k.
Mouse. Ah yes, nothing like a brand new mouse — choose from Logitech MX510, MX 700 to the laser-rigged MX1000.
If they have an mp3 player, a brand new set of Sennheiser headphones.
A brand new blog (my signature gift) — with a catchy domain, hosting and AdSense to boot!
If the person has a PC, why not give her/him a TV tuner so she can watch “Ang Panday” and “Wowowee” while blogging?

Will think of some more to add.

Ammm … I know I wouldn’t be able to live without an LCD TV with PIP that can also be used as a PC monitor.

I’m totally stressing already. My parents are both impossible to buy for. My mother wanted me to get her a computer since im so short on the phone with her these days and knows i like to use email. Except she doesn’t do too well with technology.

Instead, im thinking about the MSN TV 2 Internet & Media Player. I think it’s the best way to get her email capabilities, and more, and help her through her technophobia issues. Anyone getting one for their folks? thoughts and comments appreciated.
