Bought any Christmas presents for anyone yet? It's still not too late. Here are some gift ideas for you.

Shure SE110 Sound Isolating Earphone would probably be one of the best gifts for anyone who has a portable music player. I've a noise canceling earphone and it runs on battery but the SE110 doesn't which is really convenient.
LEGO sets can't really go wrong with kids. There are hundreds of models to choose from.
The Art of Kung Fu Panda or other animation art books (list 1, list 2) for artists. Just be sure not buy one that he/she already has.
Video Games Live, Vol. 1 should be perfect for gamers.
Samurai Champloo: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] or other animes in Blu-ray are for the anime fans with Blu-ray players.
Playstation 3 Slim with games will delight any gamer (if they aren't already).
Apple iMac
It's a great computer. I've a Mac myself, though not the iMac.
Apple iPod Touch
This is a multimedia device more than a music player. There are thousands of applications and games you can install on the it. That's my 1-year-old iPod Touch in the picture above.
The BBC High Definition Natural History Collection (Planet Earth / Wild China / Galapagos / Ganges) [Blu-ray] is for documentary lovers. DVD version is available but the HD version is stunning.
Moleskine notebooks and calendars are for those who love scribbling, sketching and planning.
Intuos4 Pen Tablet is the latest drawing tablet from Wacom. This is for the digital artists.
Canon S90 digital camera is the latest model from Canon. The lens is wide and versatile. Seems that the ISO performance is pretty good, which means you can shoot with less difficulty in places with limited light.
Finally, the all purpose Amazon gift cards for those who really can't decide.

Great ideas, even if some of

Great ideas, even if some of them aren`t cheap like the iPod and can make problems on a windows PC. But nevertheless really good. I didn`t knew that Smurai Champloo is out on BR, I think I need to buy that in the near future like Black Lagoon too. *sigh* that`s going to be really expensive buying all those great shows again on BR. At least the artbooks are cheap, thanks to the Euro.^^

Prices of those blu-ray anime, I've noticed, drops a few months after its initial release. I'm not in a hurry to get them so I can wait.

I buyed an iPod awhile ago, wanted to put comics on it, which I scanned. Unfortunatly I couldn`t even make a directory on the Pod like I could on every MP3 Player in the whole world and as I put the pictures finally on it, I couldn`t zoom because this thing saved them in the size of the iPod. I like the thing, it was cool to watch Anime on it and they were easy to transmit. I hope they update the iPod in the future, so I can buy it again.
@Parka
You`re right, at least the price falls and no one needs to buy them instantly.^^

Hey Seth, I think you just need to enable "hard disk mode" and it should work like a charm, that's what I do for mine right now :D It sucks that you had problems >__<;
I'm waiting for that new tablet to come out! Have a good holiday! ^___^

Oh yeah, the thing that irritates me, the only thing, is the iPod Touch doesn't work as an external harddisk like the older scroll wheel-models does.
