Gifts given and received by those of us in the technology industry can be a little on the strange side sometimes. They’re not your usual chocolates, scarves and gloves. We’d like to kick off with our own post-holiday follow-up and share a couple cool gifts we received this year. We know, they’re nerdy and a bit off the beaten path. But hey, we’re not (too) ashamed…

Joe’s Picks:

Game Boy Micro

Go back in time to 1989 when the first Game Boy came out. Remember how much fun those games were? Now, I play those same games on a device that doesn’t require its own briefcase to transport it in… The Micro is tiny, cool looking, and has a super bright screen. Love it. http://qcklnk.com/i

Wii Fit Plus

Forget fad diets and exercise routines- I want something unique and convenient. The Wii Fit Plus easily keeps me entertained, which kicks every other workout I’ve tried to the curb. The Plus has an entirely new set of activities- you can even personalize them to your liking. I’m all about things being custom-made… http://qcklnk.com/h

Brian’s Picks:

King’s Battle Chariot

This is a small LEGO box to re-ignite my passion for constructing fantasy worlds with the best toy ever invented! http://qcklnk.com/g

Garmin Nuvi

It’s crucial to have someone telling you where to turn when driving through the crazy traffic of São Paulo! http://qcklnk.com/j

Deutsche Grammophon 111 Years Boxset

Lossless downloads for Deutsche Grammophon 111 Years boxset: while the 55 CDs weigh almost 10GB, you can’t compromise with the classical releases from one of the most important labels on the planet! http://qcklnk.com/l
