The nagging sat next to you | Sat Nag from GettingPersonal.co.uk

21 August 2009

Gadgets make great gifts for all sorts of people – there are so many to choose from that it is usually easy to find something that will assist, entertain or amuse almost anybody. In fact, nowadays there seem to be gadgets capable of performing every task imaginable, some more useful than others. While technology has undoubtedly made life easier in many regards, the microwave oven and pocket calculator are just two examples that spring to mind, there are some gadgets that appear on the market promising to save you time, effort or both yet on closer inspection seem to be the answer to a problem that just doesn't exist. Take the electronic pepper mill; when was the last time you shook a dash of pepper into the cooking pot and felt like the sheer effort of picking up the jar twisting the cap and seasoning your dish was just too much to bear? In the grand scheme of things, once you've washed, peeled, marinated, broiled, baked and simmered, grinding a little black pepper is unlikely to seem overly burdensome.

Yet there seems to be no end to the tasks that people want to delegate to machinery, and ownership of a wide range of robotic helpers seems to be the ultimate status symbol. One particularly popular piece of technology that certainly sounds like a great idea in principle is satellite navigation equipment or Sat Nav for the more technically savvy, to direct you from A to B when driving.

Driving You to Distraction

The idea behind Sat Nav is great in theory; using satellite technology these devices can tell you exactly where you are and where you are trying to go, then direct you from one to the other at each stage of the journey. In theory, this gives the benefit of a personal map-reader and navigator, even when you're driving alone. However, as many of us have found, these gadgets are not without their problems and the 'reassuring' voice of your navigator can become somewhat infuriating should you dare to deviate from the prescribed route. So next time a friend mentions that they would love a Sat Nav for their birthday, why not test this wish with a hilarious and more wallet-friendly alternative: the Sat Nag?

The Sat Nag is a fantastic contraption and great for those occasions when you are looking for a unique gift for a gadget lover that won't break the bank. The Sat Nag looks just like a normal Sat Nav and comes with over twenty-five "helpful" comments that might be delivered as you are driving around looking for your destination. The suitably patronizing Sat Nag voice might politely ask whether the shortcut is really quicker when we get stuck in traffic, or that it was that turnoff you wanted, once you have driven past the exit on a four lane motorway. Many couples will recognise themselves in this amusing device and even backseat drivers can't fail to laugh when they hear the Sat Nag condescendingly utter something familiar.

Alternative Gifts for Gadget Lovers

The Sat Nag makes a great gift for a partner, friend or colleague with a sense of humour and will provide an amusing focus at any birthday party or gathering. As well as the female Sat Nag voice's many pearls of wisdom, the holographic screen adds an extra element of fun and shows all the streets to avoid entering, including Backseat Drive. So next time you are stuck for ideas for what to buy that special someone that has everything, forget about trying to find a practical present that they don't already have and go for something a bit more fun. After all the socks have been put away and the chocolates eaten, your Sat Nag gift will keep everyone giggling long into the night. Just make sure whoever you give it to remembers to switch it off before getting in the taxi home otherwise they might find their driver a little less than amused.

Choosing the right gift can be a difficult task and most of us want to give something that shows we have put some thought into the gift, whoever we are buying for. It's all too easy to go for the obvious things such as gift vouchers, clothing or chocolates; but birthdays should be about having fun and treating people to things they wouldn't ordinarily buy for themselves, and that includes laughter. So why not be the one to lighten the mood and inject a little fun into any party or celebration by choosing something fun and amusingly useless? The Sat Nag is the ideal candidate to do just that and the best thing is that your gift will be the star of the show and you don't have to spend a fortune in the process. Whatever you choose, keep it fun, personal and just remember it's the thought that counts.
