    Don't you love laughing at the crazy-looking people on the street who look like they're talking to themselves but are really just using a handy-dandy hands-free device? Or how about those folks driving on the freeway who look like they're bopping and singing along to the radio but are really just making a business call from that huge hunk of Bluetooth-activated plastic attached to their ear? If you're considering your own mobile accompaniment but don't want to look like you're deep in conversation with the voices inside your own head, look no further than the Bluetooth Mini Phone. Shaped like an actual handheld receiver, you can wear the phone like a semi-stylish pendant necklace & then when you want to make a call, you just pick it up and press call and start chatting! Oh. Wait. So it's not actually hands-free... but it's still pretty cute, and a clever sort of gimmick. And, uh, a great conversation starter?


    Price: 29,99 GBP
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Bluetooth Mini Phone to the Hive.

    Not all shopping is fun and games, trust me. I don't need to tell you about things that are fun to shop for- I do that all the time- but then are things that are completely unfun to shop for. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple: foot cream, travel wallets, socks, headsets. All of these things fall into the category of "Things You Don't Necessarily Want To Buy But Probably Should." Here's a solution: get them for free! Earlier this week we told you how you could enter to win a Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth Headset, worth $99.95. Want to know if your entry was the winner? Read on to find out!

    Whether your dad is all about the ever-updating gizmos and gadgets of the Internet Age or rather acts like he's been living under a rock for the past decade (or thinks he knows his way around the 'net, but really doesn't have an inkling of a clue), this year's coolest Papa-approved gadgets are sure to appeal to both techie and caveman dads alike! From a Laptop Essentials kit for the working dad on the go to a portable electric shaver that doesn't even require electricity (what?!), there's a whole array of nifty newfangled products that don't necessarily need a word-for-word analysis of the manual in order to operate, if he even so much as glances at it at all! Even if your pops swears by the simpler times from back when he was your age, he won't be able to resist the handiness of this digital measuring tape gadget that memorizes your measurements for you! After all, he can't deny that his own memory could use a little assistance these days! Check out the slideshow for more of the season's coolest gadget gifts for Dad, just in time for Father's Day!

    Monday Giveaway: Win the New Gold Jawbone Bluetooth Headset!

    If the new hands-free law has you thinking you're stuck sporting clunky headgear reminiscent of junior high orthodontia, think again! This week we're giving away the JAWBONE® Bluetooth Headset in gold, also known as the most stylish way to avoid getting pulled over. But since being pretty isn't everything, here's what you can expect from the tiny device: a highly accurate voice activity sensor, NoiseAssassin„¢, which we're going to assume is way better than noise elimination, and ergonomic design, for comfort. The JAWBONE website even has a promotion where you can receive a discount if you've been hit with a ticket for breaking the hands-free law, which aside from being kind of hilarious, is really unnecessary in our opinion because we're giving one away for FREE! To enter, all you have to do is answer one simple question... click READ MORE to find out what it is! We'll pick a winner on Friday, so join the Hive if you haven't already, and enter now! Good luck!
