Looking for a Christmas pressie that’s useful, user-friendly, sexy in a gadget-tastic kind of way and comes in at under a hundred quid?

Here’s a neat idea. Skype’s £99 Wifi phone package includes everything you need to make wireless calls without a computer, and a few treats besides. You get a Wifi phone from Skype’s partners SMC and a Wifi router from FON, the world’s biggest Wifi community; 500 minutes of SkypeOut calls to landlines and mobiles, and a year’s free Skype Voicemail. Buy all that stuff separately and it’d cost you £120, so the bundle saves you enough for a couple of new CDs and a glass or two of mulled wine. Result.

If you’d like to save even more cash without being a complete tightwad, buy your loved one a Skype cordless bundle instead – it’s only £39. For that you get a cordless handset from RTX, 300 minutes of SkypeOut calls and a year’s free Skype Voicemail.

Or you could buy them a pair of socks. Next year, they’ll give you a set of hankies. What comes around…
