All We Don't Want For X-Mas 11

by Jon Chase on December 20, 2009 at 12:30 PM


DON'T WANT: Rickety Digital Photo Frame
Any Digital Photo Frame, $5 to $500
Photo frames are among the best-selling electronics on the market now, and will reportedly end up in about 25 percent of U.S. homes by the end of this season. Yet as far as we can tell they're also among the least-used items ever produced, up there with MP3-playing pens and backyard bomb shelters. The ones we've seen are always turned off, quietly gathering dust on a shelf dedicated to well-meaning but uninspired other tchotchkes. Until we get our AARP cards and no longer understand how to fly our jetpack just don't bother -- we have iPods, and cell phones, and laptops (and sometimes even physical prints even) to look at our photos, thank you.


DO WANT:
Anything else
We're serious. Anything with at least a modicum of utility: A nice pair of needle nose pliers or a screwdriver set, or maybe a couple USB drives or blank DVDs. Even a gift card to almost anywhere will suffice if you just tell us you were considering a photo frame first and opted for whatever else instead.
