Disney Pixar ‘Cars’ USB Flash Drive

Anyone who knows me, knows that my favorite animated movie this year was Disney Pixar’s “Cars”.  I just loved “Mater!” Did you see the movie?  While browsing tonight for a USB flash drive, I found the cutest cards one.

I didn’t order it because I’m looking for a 2 gig, but I thought I’d share it with you just in case someone was interested.  It’s cute, isn’t it!  It also comes with changeable faceplates, so you not only get Lightning McQueen, you also get Sally.  This would be a great gift for a child or someone who is young at heart.

$25.99 at TigerDirect

** Update **

I found it in a 2 gig! Yeaaah!  It’s available at SuperMediaStore.com for $35.99. (They are also offering free shipping.)

Everyone Loves Hello Kitty

Do you love Hello Kitty? Okay, so not everyone does, but it makes a great gift for girls.  I just ordered my daughter this Hello Kitty mouse. I wanted the matching Hello Kitty mousepad but it’s currently unavailable. I didn’t see it at my Target, so I’m not sure where I’ll get one.  I was trying to finish my Christmas shopping tonight and have a $23 gift certificate from my Amazon I need to use.

My daughter is getting a notebook computer for Christmas from my parents. My dad’s office got all new equipment so they let the employees have an auction to buy the old notebooks, desktops, and a bunch of other stuff.  This means… easy, cheap Christmas presents.  My daughter loves pink as much as I do, so I am getting her a pink skyn for the outside of the computer and then adding on the mouse and mousepad, it should “girly” it up a bit.  The mouse and mouse pad are both $9.99 each, so that’s a great bargain. Hope they arrive in time for Christmas.

Zvue isn’t an iPod but it’s Cool!

There’s a lot of iPod envy in our house. Big sister got the 60gig iPod video for Christmas, and little sister was mad as hell (to put it lightly). I thought they’d share, but that’s never happened (should have known better). Little sister got a cool portable DVD player that came with 25 built in video games but that wasn’t an iPod and she wanted an iPod too. Despite the warzone around here over the shiny little gadget, I didn’t rush out to buy the youngest one because I honestly didn’t want to spend the money on yet another one. Heck, if anyone has one shouldn’t it be me????

As you all know I placed in the Expression Engine shootout and won some money, so I decided that this money would be “mad money” and we’d just blow it on something fun and exciting. I took my youngest daughter to Wal-mart last night and was going to talk her into an iPod Nano, because you can get a 1gig for $142 at Wal-mart. It’s not the video and it’s not 60gig but it’s still an iPod. Oh well, tell her that!

After looking at all the mp3 and portable media players she had her heart set on what I’d deem as a “kids” version of the iPod video. It was called Zvue by HandHeld Entertainment and the best thing about it… $174 on sale for $94.86! But, they were out of them! So, after torturing the little old lady in the electronics department to call around to stores in a 60 mile radius one was found and the kid is happy. She’s upstairs right now watching some videos on it.  Keep reading for my review and more info on Zvue…
