Holiday picks to click for your favorite blogger

With the Web boasting about one blog for every 25 people online, a blogger just might be lurking on your Christmas gift list. Here are some stocking-stuffing shortcuts for the …

Blogger on the go: Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The decal on this fashionably black T radiates blue waves from a glowing white tower whenever the wearer’s in range of a wireless signal. Geeks will be happy to discover it indicates the strength of both 802.11b and 802.11g signals. But a word of warning to the blogger’s mom: After picking this shirt up from the basement floor, remember to remove the decal and battery pack before washing it in cold water on gentle cycle and hanging it to dry. ($29.99, ThinkGeek.com)

Video blogger: Last Christmas my wife bought me a palm-size Aiptek camcorder for around $100. This season’s cheapie cams have been busting doors for as little as $65. They tend to work best in bright light and the images can be herky-jerky, but when you’re using them to create YouTube posts, how high does the quality need to be? The latest models include the Vistaquest VQ-DV7, which quadruples as a camcorder, camera, MP3 player and Web cam – and comes in pink, blue and silver. ($76, WalMart.com)

Photo blogger: Yes, Virginia, people used to shoot pictures with film. The PrimeFilm 35mm Film & Slide Scanner 3650U can help get all those lovely sunsets and family memories online at an optical resolution of 3600 dpi. Comes bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. ($149.99 after rebate, Costco.com)

Community blogger: The Chocolate Covered Fruit & Nut Gift Box from Chukar Cherries of Prosser, Wash., is sure to remind local blog ringmasters of their many beloved commenters – cranks and kooks alike. ($21.99- $49.99, MadeInWashington.com)

Food blogger: Keep recipes close with a chrome-plated Undercabinet Hide-Away Cookbook Holder that slides in and out with the flick of a wrist. Buy one for the kitchen and another for the computer desk. ($87.99, Organize.com)

Gossip blogger: Gossip Bubble pendants, in sterling silver or 18-karat gold, depict comic-strip style word balloons. But rumor has it maker Sweet Tooth Designs was “inspired by the world of blurbs and blogs.” Each bubble comes with a chain. ($68-$88, SweetToothDesigns.com)

Political blogger: Most bloggers recoil at paying for information, but if you buy your favorite political obsessive a subscription to The Week, he’ll happily devour the tasty nuggets of U.S. and world news the magazine’s editors distill from hundreds of print and online sources into 44 snappy pages. Wrap it with a Larry Craig Talking Action Figure for bloggy inspiration. ($29.75-$49.50, TheWeekDaily.com; $34.99, Stupid.com)

Mommy blogger: Soothe mom’s hard-working hands with Smitten Hand Cream by LUSH, an almond-scented moisturizer made with almond oil (natch), chamomile, coconut butter, wheat germ oil and avocado oil. One small bead and she’ll be set for another marathon keyboard session. ($15.95, Amazon.com)

Conspiracy blogger: The USB Doomsday Device Hub includes four ports for plugging in computer peripherals. But the red button resting beneath a plastic cover embossed with skull and crossbones makes the unit look like the trigger for a rogue nuclear bomb. ($49.99, ThinkGeek.com)

Blogger’s long-suffering friends: My favorite shirt of the year depicts actor Samuel L. Jackson (in his Jules the hit man role from “Pulp Fiction”) pointing a gun at the viewer and growling, “Say ‘blogosphere’ again.” Alas, the copyright cops seem to have made it disappear. But the “More people have read this shirt than your blog” T remains available. It comes complete with a site counter stuck on 0000002. For self-deprecating bloggers, there’s a “More people have read this shirt than my blog” version. With Technorati.com estimating more than 99 percent of blogs draw zero readers, this is one message that’s so funny because it’s true. ($15.95, Despair.com)
