Hammacher Schlemmer has been in business since 1848 and still manages to offer a unique blend of cutting edge electronics and well established best in class gadgets and gear.
Their way of positioning gadgets based on their special feature is inspiring for gift searchers. Of course it is sometimes annoying to see for instance a Camera dubbed as The World's Most Rugged Digital Camera and nowhere you find mention the brand and model of the camera.
This hiding of the specific make of a gadget makes it harder to compare prices. I found more and more products though where Hammacher has the same pricing on products that you also can find on Amazon.com.
If you want to find the perfect gadget for a loved one and you do not know yet what, Hammacher Schlemmer is the shop to get inspired and find it.
