I was reading a great article this morning on the journaldunet which listed les neuf cadeaux préférés des internautes. What surprised me was that the top 9 were all very “gadgety” and “techy”. Lejournaldunet got these results from a survey filled in by 17,000 of their users, so its not too difficult to guess their average user profile from these results.
I would have expected to find books somewhere on this list, along with CDs or DVDs. I used amazon this Christmas to send a few presents to my family, including a history of cricket DVD to my Mum (she loves cricket), but maybe I’m in a minority here? Perhaps even holidays such as ski packages could have been in there?
What didn’t surprise me was the Ipod Nano was in there, arguably the biggest must-have gadget of the moment, and along with the Ipod itself THE function/style icon of the last couple of years. These things are selling like hot cakes at the moment !
To find any of these products at good prices, I would recommend a look at Kelkoo (owned by Yahoo!) in order to compare prices. For the high-tech gadgets Rue du Commerce is worth a try. Cdiscount is a very aggressive site and difficult to use but their prices are competitive.
