Notebooks.com Holiday Gift Guide: Home Gadgets

Here are five digital gift ideas that can please the entire family at home and help you get more out of the digital content that you've already paid for or created. I'm only recommending items that I've owned or used extensively in my own home for this portion of our Holiday Gift Guide.

Gift Idea: Rosetta Stone Language Learning Software

RosettaStone can help you or your student learn 31 languages and dialects using a computer instead of books, CDs or lectures. RosettaStone’s software would make a great gift for anyone who wants to learn a language, but doesn’t want to sit through tortuous lectures. RosettaStone has it’s flaws, but I prefer it to learning languages in a classroom.

Tenori-ON: Tech Gift Idea for Musicians, Students

The Tenori-ON is an innovative gadget that Yamaha calls a digital instrument for the 21st century. It's pricey at $1,200, but this would be an awesome gift for an aspiring musician, especially if she's into composing her own lyrics.
