I don’t know about you but I’m starting to try to think up gift ideas for my relatives- especially my nephews and nieces. I buy them toys and games most years but I want to try to do something a little different this year.

One of my nephews is a curious kid and I was thinking that he might enjoy getting a microscope as a gift. He’s always exploring things - asking to use his grand fathers magnifying glass so he can get a better look at a particularly interesting bug or rock. So why not get him a microscope?

Who knows- I’ve got 4 nephews on my side of the family, and I think at least two them would enjoy microscopes as a gift. I was visiting Optics Planet and that’s where I got the idea. They carry brand name microscopes of all types from simple microscopes suitable for a child, right up to scientific stereo, compound, digital, photo or video camera microscopes. Its a huge assortment. Take a look at their huge selection of microscopes and microscope accessories including all types of loupes magnifiers.

I can picture kids, hobbyists, high school students, and medical students being thrilled with the gift of a microscope. Optics Planet has such a variety of microscopes that they have started a new site www.microscopes.com that while it’s still in the works, is open for business.

If you like my idea you’ll love the deal that optics planets has right now- you could save up to 70% off, and they offer Free UPS on orders over $29.95, extended warranties, and a no hassle holiday return policy. If a microscope or microscope accessories sound like a good gift idea check out Optics Planet.

We have the occasional power outage in our area and there’s been times when we’ve been caught without a flashlight or perhaps the batteries or light has worn out in the one or two that we have around the house. This is a big pain in the butt if the power outage happens in the evening.

There’s nothing wrong with candles, other than the possible fire hazard they impose, but you just can’t see well enough in the dark without having several candles blazing can you?

I recently discovered a site that sells several different types of flashlights. The company sells streamlight flashlights, plus many other brands such as Pelican, and Streamlight. They have Pelican LED flashlights, hands free headlamps, pocket, gun mount lights, and flash light accessories. These flashlight could be used for fun- ie camping and outdoor activities like hunting and camping, emergency situations such as when the power goes out at home, or by police and emergency services such as EMS and firefighters. The possible uses are endless.

I think it would be pretty cool to have a headlamp flashlight. We are always doing renovations around here and it would be nice to have a hands free light focused into a dark area that you happen to be working in. I think a headlamp flashlight would work perfectly in that type of situation. It would also be good if you were walking around outside in an unlit area, or perhaps even reading in bed. Hey why not?

Opticsplanet.com offers discount pricing, plus FREE UPS on order over $29.95. They also sell a whole line of products ranging from binoculars, microscopes, sunglasses to even MP3 players. I know that I’m going to look over the types of flashlights that they have in stock. We only have two flashlights in the house right now and think a three story house should probably have at least one flashlight for every floor if not more.
