On the first day of Christmas, Gizmodo gave to me…
A large pack of AA batteries
Chances are, someone will give you a gift this Christmas but forget to pack in the batteries. Don’t be that someone! Buy a 20-pack of AA Energizer batteries and preload all your gifts, or just give the batteries as a bonus present. It may not get your niece or nephew excited like an Xbox 360, but if they want to actually use that wireless controller, they’ll thank you nonetheless.
$19.86

$10 cheaper and twice as many batteries.

Monday, December 13, 2010 at 9:39 PMor you know… buy some eneloops that are rechargeable and have high enough capacity for modern electronics that all tend to be able to charge batteries when plugged in anyway… rather than buying a giant pack of ancient disposable piles that’ll end up in the bin before the wrapping paper.

Friday, December 17, 2010 at 6:28 PMHardly any of my gadgets take AAs any more. Most of them (torches, radios, bike lights, etc etc) take AAAs, which seem to be far harder to find in huge bulk packs. Generally the most AAAs you can buy in a single pack is 15.
