The holidays are just around the bend and we’ll take a guess that you probably haven’t started your holiday shopping just yet.  But fret not because we’ve got a complete Gift Guide for you, at least for the tech-loving individual on your gift list (such as yourself).  Even if you don’t find that perfect gift on our list, it is sure to generate some ideas and point you in the right direction.  Suave Kajko and George de Sa had a lot of fun writing it, and we hope you enjoy reading it just as much.

Season’s Greetings from Suave & George!  Oh, and one wish from us – please help us brake 2,000 Likes on Facebook by clicking ‘Like’ in the upper right 🙂
