Hi Techies,
I have bought my mum one of those digital photo keyring thingies for xmas and was all pleased with myself until I opened it and realised that the only way it can be charged is through the usb port on a pc - now, my mum doesn't have a pc to do this but I know that there is some sort of adaptor on the market that plugs into an electrical socket and then you plug the usb into it and voila it charges the keyring.
I have had a look on ebuyer.com but not sure what to call it when doing a search etc, can anyone please shed some light and help me in my quest?
Thanks in advance!

This is the cheapest I've found

I think $5 post paid is about the cheapest you'll get (about £2.50 at present I believe).
I've ordered from Ledshoppe before and they are reliable - there are quite a few posts about them from other satisfied users on these forums.0
