Palmsize Micro Copter gift idea

Toys and video games are the more popular choices that parents and kids look forward to on the 25th of December every year while convening underneath the Christmas tree. Thankfully, there is no shortage of either, with ThinkGeek offering the Palmsize Micro Copter that looks very much like an actual Bell Jet Ranger. The law of diminishing returns operate here though – it takes a good quarter of an hour of charging to provide a mere 5 to 7 minutes of fun. It even comes with a flashing blue LED for night flights. Powered by a whooping half dozen AA batteries, you can only use this indoors as it will literally be gone with the wind when subjected to outdoor flight. The Palmsize Micro Copter retails for $49.99 when it is released this December 8th.
