Still looking for that special gift for your techno savvy friend or family member? If so -- and you don’t want to drive through traffic to the malls or wade through frenzied gift-seeking crowds -- then PCPC invites you to drop by their store on your lunch break for a more relaxed gift-buying experience.

Located in the Mona Campbell Building on the corner of Coburg and LeMarchant, PCPC has wide assortment of computer gear and gadgets that make great last-minute gift ideas.

PCPC’s retail manager, Adrian Crawley, says the hot gift items this year are the "unbelievably loud" X-Mini Capsule Speakers – a sturdy, palm-sized speaker that you can hook up to your computer, smartphone or TV ($25). The store also carries a colourful assortment of Angry Bird plush toys, which you could launch at your friends for a true-life Angry Birds experience ($10); and the ultra-cool BookBook Case, which protects your precious iPad in a hard, authentic-looking book cover ($75).

And for those feeling extra generous, Adrian has also assembled an Apple gift bundle, which includes a 13" MacBook Pro complete with a protective case, a keyboard cover, and Mac Office for $1,275.

Avoid the crowds and treat yourself to a peaceful and joyous shopping experience at your very own computer store. PCPC is open until 4:30 M-F. For more details call 494-2626 or visit www.dal.ca/pcpc.
