Target Holiday Gift Card Doubles as Digital Camera

by Engadget Staff on November 11, 2008 at 12:30 PM

Okay, we don't know who came up with this idea, but we have to give them some credit for innovation, not to mention (in our opinion) some pretty attractive design sense. Yes, Target's new gift card gimmick this holiday season is that it doubles as a cute, disposable digital camera. The little device runs on two AAA batteries, has a self-timer, and is packaged with a USB cord, driver disc, instruction manual and a voucher for 40 free prints from Target. The camera itself is a 1.2-megapixel affair with 8MB of memory on-board, which means it can store about 50 images. Now, we know this just a ploy to get us to buy Target gift cards, but we're kind of smitten with this little thing. Oh, and: Bah! Humbug! [Via Coolest Gadgets]

What a great holiday gift. I LOVE Target. Target is great for fashion and funky home stuff in general that looks like it cost a lot more. Their line of underwear, and staples like leggings are great too.

I shop online to save money on gas, use less gas and save money period. I shop at all my favorite stores through an online website that gives me the unpublished codes at about 300 stores (including Target, The Gap, Best Buy, Old Navy,
Drugstore.com, etc) as well as giving me between 5 and 50% back in cash on my purchases. The site is http://www.fatcrumbs.com I am being good to the environment and great to my wallet.

The digital camera giftcard is cool but just to let everyone know, if you want that giftcard, you have to put at least $50 on it.
