Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A digital belt buckle that you can reprogram with your own custom scrolling LED message.
Why we love it:
We know, we know, you're asking yourself, "Why would you need an LED Belt Buckle?" Well, we think the real question is: Why Wouldn't you? We admit this bit of digital bling is a bit over the top, but we think that's part of the fun. The LED bar in the center of the buckle can be adjusted to display up to 6 custom messages with as many as 256 characters each. That's a whole lot of information to have scrolling at your waist. The speed, luminance and brightness are all adjustable, so you can make sure your message displays perfectly. You may think this is only a suitable gift for kids, but trust me, we think more than a few people would enjoy the guilty pleasure of speaking their digital mind on a scrolling marquee. Some gifts should be utterly and thoroughly impractical, and an LED buckle fits the bill, and the belt.
Who we'd give it to:
Gadget freaks, geeks, techno fans, anyone with 256 characters they want to share with the world.
Where to get it:

Body Candy for a shiny $24.99
