I’m sure I can’t be the only woman with a husband who is difficult to buy presents for. Birthday or Christmas, it really doesn’t matter. He’s a complete geek and difficult to buy for. There’s lots of inspiration for gifts in this handy Christmas Gift Guide and I recently found something which I thought he would love (and Edward too!) – the lightspeed ihelicopter from paramountzone.
The lightspeed ihelicopter is controlled via your phone (iPhone, iPod, iPad and some Android phones). Simply download the free App (Copter Controller) from the apple App store or Android market, plug the (included) IR transmitter into your phone and away you go.
My husband enjoyed playing with the i-helicopter. He has a whole collection of radio controlled planes so found the control easy to use although his finger kept slipping off the throttle. Edward enjoyed watching the ihelicopter, especially as it features lots of flashing LED lights! I didn’t get a look in – definitely a boys toy! However, although it claims that the i-helicopter is made using crash resistant material which reduces crash damage, you guessed it, my husband managed to crash and break the tail motor which unfortunately can’t be repaired.
If you are looking for the perfect Christmas present take a look at paramountzone.
