Gorgeous Eight
They are different: capricious, smart, stylish, with and without glitches, powerful and fragile. This time we are not talking about the smartphone-tablet news MWC-2016 and not about ultrabooks. It's about them - our girls, girls, women. In previous episodes of the festive excitement at Geektimes, everyone was frantically looking for gifts for geeks, men, IT people and lamented that there was no more complicated and ungrateful business. We picked up the sale catalogs by March 8 and thought: what do you know about the difficulties of choosing a gift ... Here the Raspberry Pi will not get off. Here you need to think with your heart.
Gearbest is condemned for the fact that special discounts and sales start shortly before the holiday and many goods simply do not have time to get to your home. Our logic is simple - we give discounts, and you choose gifts yourself. However, we were preoccupied with your questions and gathered some cool ideas for a “pending” gift:
All offers for the holiday can be viewed on a special page . In the post, we included options for real gadgets and girls with a great sense of humor. We share finds.
If we talk about a way to quickly, but quite expensive to get out with a gift not bought in advance by March 8, the way out is the new flagship XIAOMI Mi5 . Its sales will start in China on March 1, while pre-order is still open for Russia. So you can safely talk about how good the smartphone is and present a self-made certificate (there is already room for your imagination). If arguments are needed precisely for this smartphone, then we wrote about it just recently . A flagship pre-order in gold and white is also available .
You can do the same with other smartphones and tablets, among which there are functional and stylish instances.
For example, with the updated ex-flagship XIAOMI Mi4S, which we also wrote aboutand which is available for pre-order in black and white .
The leader among stylish things ZTE Nubia My Prague 4G . Smartphone for Android 5.0, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB - built-in. Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, 13 megapixel camera. This phone, in addition, is perfect for lovers of taking pictures and taking selfies - it provides modes for choosing the best photo from the series, various filters, including filters in the style of Czech artist Alfons Mucha.
Despite the release of the new flagship and an updated version of Mi4, the budget and powerful XIAOMI Mi4C 4G running Android 5.0 does not lose its relevance , with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 64bit Hexa Core 1.44GHz processor, 4 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. The main camera is 13 megapixels, the front camera is 5 megapixels. The diagonal is 5 inches.
From the tablets, the Onda V919 Air CH Tablet PC running Windows 10 combines elegance and powerful features . 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, 9.7 inches screen, Retina display, powerful Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 processor (Intel Atom X5- Z8300) 64bit Quad Core 1.44GHz, support for 4K video - a powerful set for both work and games, and, of course, for Internet surfing. And with all this, the weight of the tablet is only 473 grams. If you plan to use the tablet for work and typing, it is best to immediately purchase a convenient protective case with a Bluetooth keyboard . He will add 475 grams to the weight, but still the kit is light and convenient.
But if you already have a smartphone ... Girls love selfies: self-portraits, with friends, with animals, with monuments. And this is great - because it is a selfie that demonstrates how a person represents himself. Yes, and fooling around in his spare time is also very good. The front-facing cameras of smartphones fail less and less, but the light and facial expressions continue to play evil jokes. A monopod with a lamp and a mirror will solve all problems at once - you can add light and get ready for shooting. The handle extends up to 86 cm - in combination with the length of the hand this will allow you to remove a fairly large space. The wonders of universality do not end there - for those who are keen on shooting a party so that there is no charge left for a call to their beloved people, a small 3200 mAh power bank is built into the monopod handle. There is enough energy for everything.
If someone turned out to have little energy or potential recipients, both a smartphone and a tablet, then Xiaomi's power bank will help out at 10,000 mAh. For those whose design decides, the mega-battery comes in silver, pink and pink-gold colors.
Another unexpected and therefore incredibly attractive gadget is the iPhone 6 / 6S case with an additional electronic display, from which you can receive messages, view pictures and comfortably read books, saving battery power. In fact, this is the second e-ink display for the iPhone. The desired content is transmitted to the second screen via Bluetooth. The case has a built-in 460 mAh battery, which is enough for him for a long battery life.
Why does a girl need a 3D printer pen ? First of all, for entertainment: you can make funny decorations for a theme party, souvenir magnets or crafts in a kindergarten for a child. For modeling and designing prototypes of small things: jewelry, demonstration materials, etc. Finally, this is a good opportunity to arouse interest in 3D printing if you yourself need a serious printer, and your home budget refuses to accept such an expense. A pen printer will interest any girl: from 7 to 70 years old. 8 printing speeds, the ability to draw on the surface and in the air, ease and safety will appeal to everyone. In addition, consumables are easy to pick up for this pen - it uses PLA threads. By the way, do not forget to stock up on them .
Admit that a girl on a treadmill or jogging in a park is a beautiful sight, and it is doubly beautiful, if it was your girl who takes care of herself, is engaged in her health. And impresses, delights, amazes. But behind this spectacle is a huge work, which is facilitated by pleasant and necessary trifles: a convenient hat, excellent, driving music and, of course, a fixed result that stimulates in itself, and is also a reason for envious posts on social networks.
The reasons for pride will be reliably fixed by the Xiaomi Mi Band 1S fitness braceletcompatible with operating systems iOS 7.0, Android 4.4 and higher. The tracker tracks various types of activity, captures and displays the number of steps, distance traveled, calories burned. Achieving sports goals with him is both easier and more fun. Together with the pedometer, you can order pleasant and useful little things: pleasant to the touch, multi-colored rubber bracelets and a stylish leather bracelet with a classic time clasp. He not only looks strictly, but never gets lost (alas, this happens with trackers) due to reliable fastening on his hand. For lovers of a metal strap, there is a silver version of the bracelet with a classic time clasp.
When you run, the most inconvenient thing is the outgoing and flying headphones, which need to be corrected every now and then, even if they are equipped with comfortable (in fact, not always) earphones. You can not be distracted from classes and continue to listen to energetic music using a bandana-headphone with shift buttons and compatible with all Bluetooth devices with iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, 4. Using it, you can also receive calls. The device runs continuously for 60 hours without recharging.
Modern girls have long ceased to be associated with the kitchen, but nevertheless, many of them love to cook, experimenting with new recipes found on the Internet. In order for the dish to work out the first time with a bang, you need to carefully observe the proportions. Measurements in spoons and glasses are an eternal problem. Therefore, a kitchen scale will become a truly necessary kitchen gadget. Specifically, this model is able to accurately weigh products from 1 gram to 5 kg, has a digital display, is equipped with non-slip legs. To measure liquids, flowability and stickiness, a taring function is provided - preliminary weighing of the container and zeroing it. The scales are thin, light, they can be wiped with a damp cloth.
For smaller measurements (salt, herbal teas, spices) there are convenient spoon scalesweighing products from 0.1 grams to 0.5 kg. By the way, these scales are powered by solar panels.
Another incredibly necessary thing, which, in fact, is useful to tea lovers of any gender, is a digital thermometer for the kitchen , measuring in the range from -50 to +300 degrees. Indeed, in order to reveal the taste and properties of different tea, different temperatures are needed - from 65 to 95 degrees.
In general, girls sometimes have a strange concept about gadgets. They are sometimes pleased with things that are completely useless from the point of view of a man. For example, have you seen her with freshly painted nails? Helpless creature: to fasten neither a button, nor to straighten hair, nor to start the car. Perhaps everyone will be happy with the LED-dryer for manicure . This small thing turns on automatically, reliably dries the nail polish in 30 seconds, protects the eyes from the bright light of the lamp with an ergonomic cover.
Speaking of giftsfor bullying a cat for home and comfort, you can not ignore the robot vacuum cleaner . He travels around the apartment, collects dust, is controlled by remote control. Of course, 22 watts and 0.3 liters are not the power and capacity that will help to suck everything during the general cleaning, but for daily cleaning from dust - what you need. By the way, the vacuum cleaner has a “sense of edge”, so you can send it to collect dust deposits on the surface of mezzanines, cabinets and other tops, where your hands rarely reach. Specifically, this model is also quiet, only 50 dB, will not even wake a child.
Speaking of children. If your family has recently become larger and suspiciously noisy, or it will happen very soon, a high-resolution baby monitor , sound broadcasting and a night-vision camera (at a distance of up to 7 m) will be an excellentsoothing gift . The level of the wireless signal is from -85dBm, so you should not worry about the reliability of the transmission of adventures from the nursery.
Well, if you have older children in your house, then a puzzle of 432 magnetic balls is suitable for them for home and office . In real children, she develops fine motor skills and logic, while older children protect her nerves, distracting her from the hardships of office life and nervous negotiations.
Do not think, we are not crazy yet, offering readers of Geektimes plush ducks . Today, there are many programmers and testers among girls, or vice versa - there are girls among programmers and testers. So, they just need to delegate the task to the mental assistant and thus find its solution. So the correctly formulated question posed to the duck is already half the way to solving the problem. If there are those who do not believe in the duckling method, here it is .
For all ages , a design mug will turn out to be a sweet and interesting surprise - you can drink morning coffee and leisurely rebuild the mug.
Our team was simply conquered by USB-drums with foot pedals - this is not just a toy for depriving others of sleep and peace, it is a drum set, with cymbals and a bunch of settings. In general, if your girlfriend listens to rock or instrumental music and has never sat in the place of a drummer, this device will impress her. However, it can impress anyone.
There are different things in life and not always the wife’s mother gives us joy, but often she is nearby. If you notice her sitting at night on social networks or reading the latest news, just give such a bright USB lamp in the form shown in the picture - it seems like I made a gift, and took care, and was satisfied with the compliment. But this, of course, is really just for fun.
Well, other interesting things and flash-sales can be found on the special discount page dedicated to March 8th . We have provided a section on "Revenge", but we think that you were pleased on February 23 and this is just a great occasion for a joke.
If the gift is ready and waiting for its day, then you can just take advantage of discounts. In the end, do we please our loved ones only once a year? The main thing is to remember the right occasions in time.
Gearbest is condemned for the fact that special discounts and sales start shortly before the holiday and many goods simply do not have time to get to your home. Our logic is simple - we give discounts, and you choose gifts yourself. However, we were preoccupied with your questions and gathered some cool ideas for a “pending” gift:
