Huge Last-Minute Holiday Giveaway!

By Chris Scott Barr

Alright guys, you’ve got a big problem, don’t you? It’s less than four days until Christmas, and you’ve not finished your shopping, have you? Wait, you haven’t even started?! Alright, let me think for a minute, surely we can come up with something.

Okay, I’ve done a bit of work between that last paragraph and this one. I’ve rounded up a whole bunch of stuff that your friends and family are going to love. There’s over $1,000 worth of gadgets and whatnots in this bundle. Santa himself couldn’t fetch a better bag of goodies. Don’t believe me? Just take a gander at the list below.

So we’ve got the gifts, now I’ve just got to figure out where they’re going. All you need to do is drop a comment below and tell us why you’re in a bind, and how you’re going to use these gifts. The contest is running until 8am EST tomorrow (Dec. 22). At that time a winner will be selected. This next part is very important, so listen up.

We’ll contact you shortly after 8am EST tomorrow to let you know that you’re the winner. In order to get the prizes to you on time, we have to have your shipping information by no later than noon EST tomorrow. Also, bear in mind that due to shipping times, the contest is only open to those located in the continental US. Good luck!

    I desperately need that Future Sonics Atrio. I love mine, and constantly try to recommend them to others, but my debt is so out of control thanks to this crap economy that I can't afford to give them to anyone who would appreciate them.

    I'm heading home for the holidays; first time in three years. Due to budget and the recession, I'm not able to get gifts for my family. I'd love to be able to pass around a few gifts and spread some cheer.

  • bbxl

    I'm in a bind simply because I'm a guy. I'll distribute items among my friends and family.

  • sacosan

    Oh dang Oh Gizmo! I'm in such a stinky pickle this year between no time to shop and low fundage my Christmas is quickly transforming into CrisisMas!. You can save the day and my head from growing grey hair.

    As an IT student paying for his classes as a labor for a masonry construction company, I've been out of work recently due to the latest Ks. weather. My father passed this past summer and I'd love to be able to help my mom afford gifts for the grand-kids.

  • tkx

    I can't stop reading OhGizmo. I will start my shopping after I read one more OhGizmo post, Ok maybe just 3 more posts, well just 5 more, I mean it this time, ok but 7 is the max for today Then I will start tomorrow after I read a few of the new posts. I am in a bind! or maybe OhGizmo will send me some gifts, ya I am set.

  • Mark

    Hmm, currently in Mexico, but got a US shipping address, does that count? (please say yes, please say yes, please say yes, please say yes)

  • JMBakker

    I decided this year, that I would hand-make gifts for everyone. I learned how to make hand-tooled leather mugs, flasks and bottles – water-proofed with wax and sealed with food-safe epoxy. The thing is – I ran WAY out of time, it was much more time-consuming than I thought, as each step takes several days of drying time. So I couldn't make anything for my sisters – and I'm going to have to resort to giving them lame gift cards or something. So I'll make you a deal, OhGizmo! I'll make YOU a mug, flask or bottle, tooled with the design of your choice – if you'll help me out with gifts for my sisters in time for Christmas!

    I am a business owner but my wife takes care of all the bills and checking account. I never get any money to buy gifts for anybody. :(

  • http://ragebarrage.myopenid.com/ Rage

    I've been trying to break into the world of money laundering for quite some time now, and I think these items will be exactly what I need to break through the barriers to entry I've been facing:
    Ten One Design: Pogo Sketch – This will totally fix the issues that I've had in creating a realistic reproduction of Ben Franklin on my iPad
    Smartfish: Whirl Desktop Mouse – When I'm reproducing all of the little lines on a bill, my hands have been locking up, an ergonomic mouse might be just what the doctor ordered
    FUTURE SONICS: Atrio Special Edition (ASE) Earphones – Perfect for looking like I'm just going about my business when making my escape from the country
    XtremeMac: iPod touch 6g and nano 4g cases & iSkin: iPad Duo & AGF: Vandelay – Gotta have a case on your gear with this much ink all over the place, otherwise I can't use my gadgets in the printing area
    IDAPT i4 Universal Desktop Charger – A great device for those grab and go moments when need to get your tech as fast as possible after Virginia farmboys break down your door
    Balanzza: Mini Luggage Scale – Just because I'll be printing my own currency doesn't mean I want to give any of it to the airlines for overweight baggage fees
    Moshi Lifestyle: Moshi Voice Control (VC) Travel Alarm Clock – When you travel with as much cash as I'll be 'making' I want it to sound like there are other people with me to avoid any unwanted guests making unexpected visits
    Swann: PenCam Mini Video Camera & Recorder – Nothing like having a camera monitoring your vehicle to keep 'bugs' from getting in without your knowledge
    Warpia: Wireless USB A/V Adapter – Great for watching the playback from the Swann PenCam on TV rather than my laptop screen
    V-MODA: Remix Remote – The Atrios can stay plugged into my ipad and I can keep these plugged into my phone
    netTALK: DUO – I'll still be able to talk to all of my friends in the States for free, even though I may not be able to go back
    Elgato: Video Capture – I can take all of the shows that are still on my DVR with me when I leave the country
    Zibra: Open It! – Problems opening sealed blister multipacks of ink will be a thing of the past
    CASTIV: The Guitar Sidekick – When I'm on the beach in *insert non-extradition treaty country here* I should have plenty of time for learning some killer riffs
    Grace Digital Audio: Eco Extreme – And when I'm not practicing the guitar on said beach, there's always digital tunes
    Desk Pets: SKITTERBOT – And if the worst were to happen and the money printing fails, I can use my large sheet roll printer as a Skitterbot treadmill

    So you see, I really can't move forward with my plans for printing large quantities of non-sequential high quality bills and then escaping to a foreign nation without these awesome gadgets.

    Lots of nice swag!!

    This would help since my dad of whom I live with (im 19) got in an accident and had to go in for surgery and as a result hasnt worked since the beginning of summer. So Im mostly hoping for this for my dad.

  • alexjagendorf

    What a perfect time to see this post on OhGizmo. My iphone headphones just broke 2 days ago and as a college student, buying new, quality headphones is not too easy. I'd love to get the Atrio Special Edition (ASE) Earphones for Christmas!

    cause my girlfriend just broke up with me & i'm broke

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NHXQ4KDQNRIE6GQLZK6PIXPQEQ Chris

    Oh wow, lots of sweet stuff there. I've already done some Christmas shopping, but this would greatly augment the decidedly lame gifts I was planning on giving. The iPod stuff would make a great gift for my brother, who uses them much more than I do, and the travel alarm clock would help me to get up and on the road to the family's for Christmas on time!

  • AK210

    I'd take anything! I've been good but no one is getting me any presents. I'll take whatever is given just to make me feel better!

    Ah, the bevy of sad stories…some sob stories, some sad stories, some probably true, others who knows…but let's add one more to the list! (all true…with a dash of sad, but 100% sob free): medical student graduating this December. That's me (hero of the story) with tons of loans bearing down on him (villain) and a loving family who is only expecting a smile, some dirty laundry to wash, and quality time away from the hospital for me. How great would it be to be able to show them that I CAN be a gift giver in this holiday season and share some lovely gifts, all with OhGizmo (co-star, I HOPE!) to the rescue? Only You can tell me how this story ends!

  • jeffmauch

    I have an office christmas party on Wednesday the 29th of december for myself and 11 employee's and I can't think of a better way to surprise all of them, than with a bunch of sweet stuff from OhGizmo. I have yet to get them all gifts, but being they are all so unique, I will probably end up getting them all giftcards to starbucks or something. The stuff listed above would easily trump and frap/latte/coffee crap they would get with said giftcard. Please Help a guy out!

    I've currently moved out on my own for the first time. Making rent is tough, so getting anyone anything extravagant is a luxury I really don't have lately. My parents have needed a way to use the PC in the living room for as long as I can remember, and short of buying a new PC, the Warpia device seems like a godsend for this.

    would be a realt time saver since im sooo behind buying gifts as i just came from 2 weeks abroad

    WOW!! That's a great package. Why am I in a bind? That's simple – self employed and upside down in this economy. I can think of many uses for the gadgets in this package – a few to pass on to my kids as gifts as I've taught them to love the electornic toys. With the way I listen to music the Atrios would be sweet; a luggage scale for the traveling I can't afford to do; a mini video cam/recorder to catch people doing something bad; video capture to get some music videos. Oh yeah, I could find a use for most of this toy bag.

    Im in a bind cause I ended my military contract earlier this year, cant find work, cant afford to move away from my old duty station somewhere there are more jobs, and what unemployment I got ran out in November and I cant get it going again till January.

  • TongBlack

    Just found out about some tech-head relatives that will be coming in town for Christmas, so some last-minute gifts would be helpful! My brother as well as several of my good friends are Mac people, so the iPhone/iPod/iPad related items would be pretty cool.

  • LizM

    Sorry, duplicate comment deleted!

    I'm in a bind! I'd give most of these to my gadget-lovin' husband! eemoody77 at gmail dot com

  • BagofGrabDotCom

    My blog doesn't get as much traffic as yours, so I could offer anything you give me as a New Year's gift to my reader. : )

  • Toonout

    I'm in a bind cause, I always wait till the end of the holiday season to buy my holiday gifts and I always end up getting lame stuff. This will help me be less lame thanks…

  • Yong Pong

    My brother loves to travel with his tunes, he did a medical internship in Peru, recently traveled to Europe, Asia, loves to go backpacking, camping, and climbing. Because of all of this travel , he's broken more mp3 players than you can imagine. The eco extreme would be so awesome to give him for Christmas, tunes for him to share as well as protecting his precious mp3 player!

  • echezeaux

    I'm a poor student and visiting a friend over the holidays but spent all my money on the flight. :( I'd like to have a gift for someone who's into gadgets like the Atrios or the Grace. Thanks for reading this.

  • mrheist

    My wife has been suffering from depression and panic attacks for the past month and a half. Being there to take care of her has seriously impeded my ability to go in to work, let alone get Christmas shopping done. My reduced hours and her lack of a job (she was laid off this past summer) has also done a number on the scope of gifts we're able to get for each other and for family.

    The range of these gadgets would be be a huge help in beefing up the little things I've been able to snag for her, as well as help be able to give back more to our families who have been of huge help getting us through all this. So basically I'd use it to spread the love more to the degree I want to, rather than the degree that I am able.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_6EFADUDUEPUCJB5UKP2QN7XZUU Neil D

    Well lets see…

    – a whopping -$97.00 in the bank
    – no Christmas gifts bought for step kids yet
    – almost out of food
    – been out of work for 6 months now and i live in a town where jobs are scarce
    – car payment due… among other bills

    the list goes on. right now i'm so far in debt i couldn't afford a gun to shoot myself, let alone the bullets.

    I'm unemployed, married with 3 young children, living at my in-laws house since April. Because we're broke, my wife and I agreed not to give one another gifts this year. Getting some free stuff would be a pleasant surprise. Depending on what we win, it would either go to my spouse or kids. Thanks.

    My wife and I split up and with the London airports shutting, I can't visit my family until after New years. So there will be no xmas presents for me this year. I could sure use a boost by getting something for xmas.
