~~<p>For those who haven't been to Ala Moana Center or any other shopping meccas lately, be warned that it's pretty crazy out there in brick-and-mortar land. If you're on tight budgets and don't want to worry about gridlock, here are some mostly not-so-expensive gift items.</p>
<p>Cloud storage is in vogue nowadays, but there's nothing like having a USB at the ready. That's where the LaCie iamaKey drive, which is essentially a key chain, is darn handy. The alloy metal device is sturdier than the ubiquitous plastic USB drives, and if it's in your pocket it will always be there when you need it. Capacities include 4GB, 8GB and 16GB sizes, and prices start at less than $20.</p>
