Christmas present ideas

Posted 18 December 2006 at 4:37PM by Alexa Williamson in Light relief

Still have last-minute Christmas shopping left to do? Me too.

Here's a few business present ideas from BT-owned dabs.com. Order before Wednesday (20 December) and delivery before Christmas is guaranteed.

  • A good laptop is a must have. The Sony Vaio N11S Core Duo T2050 laptop has over 1GB memory, 100GB hard disk drive and a dual layer DVD +/- R. Not a bad buy for under £700 including VAT.
  • When I don't feel like taking my laptop with me, a good PDA is essential. The Windows-based HP iPAQ hx2490 is a good choice for businesses. It has more than enough memory to host your calendar, contacts, documents, photos and videos and is reasonably priced at £264.98 including VAT.
  • An excellent way to complement the backup of your business' computer network is to couple BT PC Backup with an external hard drive, which you plug into the USB port on your computer when you want to use it. The LaCie P3 320GB USB2 7200rpm 8MB is a good choice at only £70.48 including VAT.
  • However, if you don't need a large amount of storage and only want an easy way of moving files between computers, then a memory stick like the The Kingston 2GB USB2 DataTraveller I is a perfect stocking stuffer.
  • And finally, if your business has meetings via webcam, then the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 would make a good gift. It has high definition still photos, a built in noise-cancelling microphone and integrates easily with the Microsoft Windows Live Messenger.

Hi Lesley, you are right... what should one get the executive who wants some stress relief from work... well the Xbox 360 and MP3 players (you can get these for £20 or more these days) are quite popular this year! So are digital cameras. Hope this helps! Alexa
