The GPS Homing device from Hammacher is one of the simple GPS devices out there. This very practical gadget is a must if you are one of those people who forget where they parked their car or would just like to come back to the same exact place one more time. The way to use this GPS Homing device is quite simple. All you have to do is to push the button to mark your current location and the device will point the way back. It is very small, and can be put on a keychain. It uses an advanced GPS receiver chipset that provides a high degree of accuracy–within five yards–in urban canyons or heavily forested environments thanks to its superior Time To First Fix for locating and locking onto satellite signals. It counts down the distance (in yards, miles, meters, or kilometers) as you approach your starting point and its self-calibrating digital compass displays your heading in degrees and indicates direction with an easy-to-read arrow. The GPS Homing Device is weather-resistant, which makes it suitable for outdoor use. A couple of AAA batteries will hold up to 20 hours of operation. You can get one of these for $79.95.

We have all seen or owned one of those Swiss Army Knifes. Those little indestructible multi-tools that came in handy in most uncomfortable situations, and we all look at them as something thats above the competition. There are good and great knives, great tools, and there is Swiss Army Knife. Well knowing that, and knowing how good those are, we should get ready for this next offspring of Swiss ingenuity. Swiss Tech 8-In-1 Multi-tool is a small (and i mean small) multi-tool that can be carried around where ever you go. And trust me, you will want to carry this one where ever you go. It is small and light-weight enough that it can be hooked on a key ring. It has 6-8 tools in it that you can use in what ever situation you find your self in. Offcourse it won’t be able to replace a karburator in your car if the it stops in the middle of the dessert, but it will be able to unscrew the bolts on that karburator or tweak it by using other tools this little gizmo provides. It comes with a life time warranty which only tells you that Swiss folks who made it take their reputation seriously.

I think that on the gadget market today there are actually two markets, or two categories of markets within that main one. There are people and entire companies devoted to designing gadgets that will represent a solution to a problem or at least make every day life easier. On the other hand there are people and developing teams ( i wouldn’t realy say companies) that devote their time to making gadgets that do not realy have to have any kind of productive purpouse. People like that gave us gadgets such as USB Rocket Launcher and many other entertainment focused products. Making paper planes never got out of fashion. From earliest days untill today people still make them, old fashion way or a bit more modern. Good people from Middlesex University came to an idea to make an Electric Paper Plane Launcher. This very modest gadget has a very simple mechanism that shoots paper planes. It is consisted from two spinning motors and plastic discs. Though there is nothing new to this design since something similar was invented to shoot those little cars down the track. To get this thing working, all you got to do is to put a paper plane in between those rotating discs. I don’t really know how suitable this is for kids since it can shoot that paper plane 30 MpH. This can be an awesome Christmass gift but think twice before you give it to kids. The Electric Paper Plane Launcher requires a AA battery for power, and costs only $18.00 and you can order it online.
