One gadget that’s likely to be on a lot of Christmas wish lists this year are eReaders.  There are many to choose from with different price points, and different features, and one of the newest on the market is from Sharper Image and it’s called Literati.  Just released in October of 2010, it’s available at retail locations nationwide just in time for Christmas shopping.

Sharper Image has long been a company that has enthralled people with lights and buttons on electronic devices, so it makes sense that they would enter the booming retail presence with an eReader of their own.  What makes this one a bit different than the majority of the ones on the market is that is has an LCD display rather than an E-ink one.

From a teens point of view, I want to rave about Blamtastic, especially for guys.  Fill up the stockings with these for your teen guys! 

Lip Balm for guys…who cares?  Well they do, but they’ll probably never admit it, and chances are when you go to the store, most all of the lip balm products on the shelf are “girly”.

Five reasons why your male teens will want to find Blamstastic in their stockings:
