  9. Xbox 360/Playstation 3 - Gaming consoles are always a favorite around Christmas time. This year is no different. We were going to recommend Nintendo’s Wii, which has been the best selling console all year, but it is near on impossible to get one at the RRP due to the massive demand. Rival gaming systems The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are still in plentiful supply however and are well worth the money.

    The Xbox 360 is available from Amazon for $349.

    Playstation 3

    Playstation 3 ranges in price from $399 for the 40GB model to $499 for the 80GB model.

  10. iPhone - Named Time Magazine "Invention of the Year" for 2007. The iPhone has been one of the most talked about gadgets all year, thanks mostly to it’s sleek slim design and multi-touch user interface. The iPhone sets a new benchmark for cellphone/MP3 player combinations.

  11. iPod Touch - Another multi-touch Apple gadget. The iPod touch allows you to navigate through your music and video collection with the touch of your finger. The iPod Touch is also a web browser and photo album. All this and just 8 millimetres thick (or should we say thin).
