" As an engineer, I&amp;#039;m extremely practical. That&amp;#039;s why I make sure the gifts that I give my friends and family members are very useful... but because I&amp;#039;m also a realist, I do make sure they&amp;#039;re stylish as well. Below are some of the gifts I&amp;#039;ve gotten my loved ones this year that you may want to consider for those special people on your list. Spoiler alert: None of the gifts cost more than $44!  For the Friend who&amp;#039;s Always on the Go: The Callet ($15) I just bought this for my sister since she used to stuff her transit card, license, and credit card in between her phone and old case. It caused a terrible bulge and often wouldn&amp;#039;t stay in place leading her to lose important items. The Callet combines the functionalities of a smartphone case and a wallet so she can bundle together everything she needs when she&amp;#039;s heading out.    For the Musician in the Group: Hoodie Buddie ($44) I know I already blogged about this one, but I can&amp;#039;t stress enough how much I love the Hoodie Buddie. This holiday season, I bought five of them for my friends and cousins so they can enjoy it as much as I have. This fashionable sweatshirt has headphones integrated in to the drawstrings so they&amp;#039;ll never worry about tangled wires or losing their headphones again!  For the DIY&amp;#039;er: 686 Original Snow Belt ($40) Why does form or functionality have to win out? On this fashion-forward belt, there are Phillips and flathead screwdrivers and 3 wrenches in different sizes. Now your bro will always know where his tools are! For the Financial Friendster: Casio Data Bank Watch ($25) I know I&amp;#039;m not the only one who wishes she still had a calculator watch (or am I?). Granted most people whip out their phone to make easy calculations, but I love the convenience of having a calculator all set to quickly figure out the tip or how much of my budget I&amp;#039;ve already spent. Word of advice: Don&amp;#039;t get it for a child who&amp;#039;s still in school because most math classes won&amp;#039;t allow it. As the buttons are on the small size, it&amp;#039;s also not recommended for an adult with poor vision.     For the Texting Fiend: AGloves ($18) Depending upon where you live, you may be experiencing a harsh winter right now. Help your teen keep her hands warm while she texts with these new gloves that are designed to be used with touch-screen devices like a phone, media player, or camera. Most of the other texting gloves I&amp;#039;ve seen simply have fingerless pointer and thumbs. The AGloves will keep every last finger toasty yet agile.     For the Stylish Gadget Guru: Slap Wristband for iPod Nano ($25)  Help your friend keep the time and track of his iPod nano with the new Slap wristband from Griffin. He&amp;#039;ll love the retro look of the hugely popular old-school slap-style bracelet form. Of course, make sure he has an iPod nano before you make your purchase!
