dream fathers day gifts

We typically don’t do gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Actually, my husband and I rarely give each other gifts. We tend to ‘do’ things for anniversaries and birthdays. Like go to Hawaii or see a show or something. But if we did do a gift this year, I would be torn. There is some really cool stuff out there!!!

If I could, I would buy him:

The Nook: I really think that he would love a Nook. Everyone I know who has a Kindle, Nook or Sony Reader completely loves them and uses it all the time. Especially because he travels frequently, I think this would be great for him.
I’ve been researching the pros and cons of each. I’ve decided that if we do get an e-reader, we’re getting  a Nook. I love that you can share books on it (whereas you can’t with the Kindle). And it has free 3G wireless and wi-fi, so you can check e-mail and surf the web.
(Do NOT tell me to get an iPad instead. I know they are amazing, but they are too pricey to even daydream about!)

An Eye-Fi Memory Card: One thing I do that totally drives my husband up the wall is that I always forget to put the memory card back in the camera after I download pictures. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve gone somewhere only to realize we forgot the memory card! So the Eye-Fi Memory Card wirelessly transfers photos and video from your camera to your computer or an online site when you walk in your front door. How amazing is that?
But maybe this would be more of a gift for me, since I’m the one who never remembers to upload pictures….

a Camcorder: We’ve never had a camcorder – just the one in our point-and-shoot digital camera. I’ve heard terrific things about the Flip Ultra-HD Camcorder, but I really am intrigued by Sony’s bloggie H-D Digital Camcorder.
Do you have a camcorder? Do you get lots of use out of it or do you think they’re becoming obsolete with the new digital cameras?

an iPod: Because he gave me his iPod when mine broke. (I know. Sweetness, right?) But I’m not sure. If he already has an iPhone, would he use an iPod?  He already has a pair of noise-canceling headphones for the plane that he LOVES… but the iPod Touch seems so cool because then he could play games and stuff.
What do you say, iPhone users? Do you still use your iPod or do you just use your iPhone for everything?
