We’re pretty passionate here at the Cult of Mac. What are we passionate about? Well, the pecking order goes something like this (although maybe the order is flipped for one or two CoM writers):
1. Our loved ones
2. Gadgets
Of course, we’re also passionate about sharing our knowledge of gadgets and technology with the rest of the world. Combine these three passions, and here’s the result: our Holiday Gift Guide.
London based design consultancy BERG have surpassed themselves with their latest idea, simply called Little Printer.
Remember the Glif? It’s a cute little kickstand/tripod attachment gizmo for the iPhone 4 and 4S, brought to life by a successful campaign on Kickstarter.
Well now the makers of the Glif have announced some extra add-on gizmos to give the Glif some extra gazoom.
This is the Lytro, a bizarre and radical new concept in digital photography that lets you snap an image now, and worry about focusing it later.
Pre-orders just opened today, and you can grab one for as little as $399 (I’ll take two!). But before you click the order button, make sure you have a Mac – because Lytro doesn’t work with Windows computers yet.
Apple’s Camera Connection Kit for iPad is a pretty useful set of dongles for the on-the-go photographer, but it does seem somewhat redundant: why did Apple need to display two different dongles when it could have designed one dongle that read USB and SD cards simultaneously?
Such was the thinking that lead us to admire August’s 2-in-1 Camera Connection Kit for iPad, which smashed together both dongles into one converging, dual-purpose accessory.
Pretty neat, but the fancy lads over at MIC have just one-upped the 2-in-1 Camera Connection Kit… literally. Meet the 3-in-1 Camera Connection Kit for iPad, replete with a USB port, an SD card slot and a microSD card reader.. all for only $29.90. Take that!
Only 11 more days til Christmas! Yikes. If you are still at a loss as to what to get your loved ones, look no further, CultofMac is here to save the Holidays! Keep in mind that most of the cheap or free shipping ends this week.
What’s a holiday season without kids? (Quiet, for one thing). We’ve put together a mini list just for the mini ‘uns, to help keep them happy, and you sane.

After we published the Men’s section to our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide earlier this week, a few of our readers — not realizing that we were parceling out the guide in sections (Teens are up next) — wondered why we hadn’t made any suggestions for women. Fear not, dear readers: There’s no way we’d miss out on confessing all our favorite gadget, case and app gift ideas for women. We’ve even got pillows in there!

Maybe just put it in a binder.)
