Christmas Shopping Guide: Gadgets & New Inventions
Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is still weeks away. What better way to kill the time than shop, shop, shop!

At least, that's what the toy companies, clothing stores and electronics boutiques want you to do.
Even if the thought of frenzied shoppers and an overcrowded mall makes you a little anxious, it's hard to resist all the bargains. Plus, there are so many neat new gadgets out this year that you may find yourself buying them for both you and the kids!
Here are the gadgets most likely to appear under the Christmas tree this season:
1. iPhone – Let's face it, this is the gadget that everyone is talking about. It's sleek, pretty and multifunctional. And, it makes other cell phones seem so 2006.
2. Nintendo Wii – Video games have gotten a bad rep recently, as they're blamed in part for the increase in childhood obesity because they encourage kids to stay indoors and not play outside.
Plus, if you didn't get into video games from the beginning, you're basically out of luck. Have you seen a modern video game controller? There are so many buttons it's impossible to keep track of what button does what!
But the Nintendo Wii is a different breed of game. Instead of a complicated controller, you have a simple wireless controller and a wrist strap. And, instead of pressing a button, you actually control the game with arm movements. For the tennis game, you swing like you're playing tennis. In bowling, well, you bowl. Another fun feature allows you to design your own characters.
The best part is almost anyone (even non-gamers) can play. Although this is technically a 2006 gadget, its explosive popularity is sure to make it a hit once again this year.
3. GPS Navigation Systems – If reading a map is like reading ancient Greek for someone in your life, a new wave of GPS systems has come to the rescue. The navigationally challenged have plenty of systems to choose from, including the Garmin I3, the Garmin Nuvi and the TomTom One.
The nice thing about these systems is that you can take them with you when you switch from car to car.
We at InventHelp® hope that your Christmas shopping goes smoothly this year. And although we love gadgets and new inventions, the problem is we know that by next year at this time, we'll need a whole new batch!
