It's not very often when a new and exciting product comes on the market. There are only several items to pick from when doing your holiday shopping for example: DVDs/DVD players, Bluray, flat screen TV (LCD or LED), computers/laptops, digital cameras, cellphones, Games and game consoles... You get the picture. These are things we either already have or are not very different from all the rest. There are really not many "new" things available to purchase or give as gifts.

That is why the electronic cigarette is a hot item for the holidays. It offers so much that didn't exist before and its a great new innovative gadget. In many cases, it's pocket sized, offers portable recharge ability and now there is a solar powered charger which can charge your electric cigarette without plugging it in! This new solar electric cigarette charger works both in outdoor sunlight or indoor light (indoor takes longer to charge).

The idea of giving a gift should be with the receiver in mind. The gift should be in many cases either practical or desirable. The electronic cigarette is both if you're a smoker. Giving the electronic cigarette as a gift is also a great way to promote new years resolutions.

Every year, people resolve to quit smoking as the new years resolution. The electronic cigarette is a great way to promote the idea and actually give someone the vehicle to get started early! Even if they dont quit altogether, every puff taken from an electronic cigarette is one puff less taken from a tobacco cigarette and that is a great start.

(Note: Electronic cigarettes are not approved by the FDA as a tobacco smoking cessation aid)
