TimeCup 700
To: coffee lover without a coffee machineCoffee is living water, the second oxygen for programmers, IT specialists and other busy people. The TimeCup 700 electric coffee maker brews midnight ambrosia, as well as cocoa, makes tea and eggs, stokes milk, warms up water and baby food. An option for coffee lovers who prefer universal devices, rather than devices that are sharpened for one task, like coffee machines.
The TimeCup 700 has a ceramic cezve with foam sensors hidden inside. The coffee will start to rise - and the coffee maker will shut itself off so that the precious drink does not escape. There is a place on the handle for a miniature display that shows the mode and temperature. The device is controlled by touch buttons at the bottom of the turk. It can be connected to a computer via Bluetooth to program new recipes.

The colors, brightness and speed of the lights are adjusted using the remote control.
Puzzle Unidragon Unicorn
To whom: a colleague on the verge of burnoutSuffering from stress? Maybe your best friend or beloved colleague scares you with depressing jokes or bottomless bags under your eyes? The beginning of January is the time to relax. The Unidragon Inspirational Unicorn Reusable Wooden Puzzle will help you do this in the most sustainable way: without a screen.
Even the code guru, somewhere in the depths of his soul, remains a child who looks for patterns and secret meanings in the things around him. What could be better than a wooden toy, in which there are two semantic layers at once: beautiful fantasy graphics and figuratively carved details.
The unicorn, according to Unidragon, is composed of a prince, princess, butterflies, stars, magical items and other adorable details. Together they combine to form one large mega unicorn. All according to the precepts of the Power Rangers. The parts are packed in a pouch and wooden box, so you can assemble and disassemble the puzzle many times. Unidragon was approved by the psychologists we showed it to. This is a worthy thing to fight burnout and overexertion - a real art therapy. And the kids will love it too. There are 3 sizes and difficulty levels to choose from: for about 100, 200 and 300 parts.
Photo-constructor Mozabrick S
To whom: a creative soulHave you ever laid out LEGO paintings with bricks? The Mozabrick universal puzzle consists of one “spike” pieces that are fixed to a mounting plate. The squares are white and black, as well as three shades of gray.
Upload a photo or image to the Mozabrick website, receive a ready-made instruction with a layout by mail. Now it can be assembled on plates to make a black and white mosaic panel.
If you don't like something, or want to reassemble the picture, you can remove the “pixels” from the plates with a special separator. So they will retain their aesthetic appearance. This is a very meditative activity that takes away from gadgets and endless work tasks.
The Mozabrick S kit consists of 4 individual mounting plates and 5815 parts. The picture is 51 × 51 cm in size and will take 12 hours to assemble. It is better to give such puzzles to people who have free time. However, on New Year's holidays it will be enough, and the finished result can be immediately hung on the wall with 3M double-sided tape.
IGarden LED Smart Garden
To: The Ambitious Home GardenerGardening is the lot of tough men and women who are not afraid of gardening tools, digging in the ground and sorting out fertilizers. But sometimes it's just a hobby when you want to grow strawberries on the windowsill. The iGarden LED smart garden is suitable for such cases .
This is a plastic hydroponic plant with an LED lamp on an adjustable bar. Water is poured into the tank; plants are planted in two special pots with an inert substrate; the pots are placed in the tank. The garden will now keep itself lit and hydrated. When the water runs out, he will warn about it. By the way, iGarden LED can be installed not only on the windowsill.
In addition to strawberries, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, herbs and flowers grow well in the garden. We recommend starting with basil. It is unpretentious, grows quickly, and there is always a place for it in salads, sandwiches or pasta. Bon Appétit!
Wowwee crab
To: a good geek friendThis toy is called a "real robot artopod". In reality, the WowWee Crab robot has only four legs and a "head" on a long neck. Infrared eye sensors are built into the head. The robot is not like a crab, but like the Boston Dynamics robotic dogs. He has a similar disposition, with a penchant for parties and dancing.
The robot is pre-trained in 72 functions and 40 more can be programmed. In fact, he can even be hacked. The creator conceived the robot in such a way that it could be opened and quickly figured out what every detail is for. Some are even signed.
The WowWee Crab is powered by four C-type batteries. The remote control is powered by three AAA batteries. This is a sincere gift for a child or a real geek: and from the second it will turn out to be the first. This is how geeks breed, by dividing by the New Year tree.
