Here at MaclLife, we like to have you covered when it comes to your holiday shopping, and gift giving in general. Etsy.com, one of the biggest site devoted to DIY crafters and vintage resellers alike, has some pretty rad Apple stuff to meet your gift giving and collecting needs. We sought out some of the best gift ideas to help you find what you're looking for that special techie in your life.
This particular iPad holder comes from the Mid-Century Modern Style, as the name implies. It protects your special iPad from any bumps and bruises and the designer also says that the fabric comes from an authentic Maharam textile that was designed by Charles and Ray Eames for a 1947 textile competition at the Museum of Modern Art.
It's protected with 1/8" high-density foam padding (think Neoprene) between fabric layers to protect your iPad/MacBook. Interested? Check it out for $55.00 USD.
This particular cradle is made to order, is handcrafted from Brazilian hardwood, and serves as an iPad cradle charger that still leaves room for syncing. The charger comes with Apple sync, a charger adapter, and extension cable for hard to reach wall outlets.
Each cradle is also sanded with a soft touch, giving it its own unique markings, knots, blade marks, grain patterns, color and texture, and it's currently available for $134.00 USD.
Or, if you're wanting to get your Apple gear with a bit of vintage feel, check out the below Apple laptop case!
With a bit of an old school look, it features a muted gray exterior with black detailing according to the seller's description. It comes with an outside pocket with zipper as well as one main component with zipper. On the inside the case has mesh half pockets. The compartment also comes with a main portion that has a detachable tray with 3 separate compartments. Currently listed for $29.00 USD.
This Mac from 1989 was first introduced then as a super drive that could take on 1.4 MB. It's in working condition, complete with its very own floppy discs. All it's missing is the mouse. A great collectible for only $85.00!
Continuing with the retro theme, maybe you've been yearning for that old Apple multi-colored logo of old? There's a pretty sweet pack of decals below for your MacBook, iPad and iPhone. Each decal is made out of high quality vinyl and is easy to apply. They don't damage the surface, are 100% waterproof, can be easily removed without any leftover residue. Score it for $8.99.
Or, how about Homer Simpson taking a bite out of the Apple logo? Only $8.99. Each of their decals are made to order, so you don't need to worry about the size of your MacBook or laptop. They also offer any custom colors of modifications to their artwork free of charge!
Or if the lover of all things donut doesn't meet your tastes, maybe the below will fit what you're looking for. We all like to think of our Macs as super computers anyway, right? Turn your Mac into your very own Hal for $9.99.
Sometimes, there's nothing better than curling up with your blanket, your Mac and your favorite pillow. Wouldn't it better if it was an App Store pillow? That's what we thought too. Check out the one pictured below for only $19.99.
Better yet, if you'd really like to show off your Apple love to your house guests, the pillow below for $27.00 can definitely get the point across.
But if you're looking for a little bit brighter colored pillow, a similar pillow can be had from the same seller for $27.00 as well. It's made of white suede and has a 14" x 14" pillow insert with an envelope closure for easy removal and cleaning.
Granted, this barely scratches the surface of what all's out there for all things Apple, and is only a small sample. If you happen to come across any neat finds, let us know in the comments below!
