Need Ideas for a Christmas Present? I'll help you find the perfect one!

Welcome to my "Ideas for Christmas Presents" lens!
Every year, we go to great lengths to find the perfect present that will light up the faces of our family and friends when they get they rip the box open.

We can't put a price on making the people we love happy, but sometimes it takes a bit of thought to show them we really care. What if they have it all? What can you buy after so many years of presents? Or maybe you have no idea what they would like? Asking clerks isn't always the best option - they always want you to buy only what's in the store and what costs more.

Fear not! I'm here to share some Ideas for great Christmas presents with you! I don't know your loved ones, but I know a lot of neat and cool things they might love... So let's get started.

Note: There are thousands of possible Christmas presents, but the whole point of this page is to keep things simple. That's why I'm focusing on the coolest presents and not showing you everything you can buy. And also because I can't!

Electronics & Computers 

Okay, they're not always cheap, but they're sure to satisfy!


#1: The iPod

Why an iPod? Because everyone either has one or wants one. Take all your music, movies, pictures and games with you wherever you go. What's cooler than that? Also, the new 5.5 generation iPods have huge storage spaces, but cost as low as $250. Now's the time to get one!
Why not an iPod? Tons of people already have then, and they're not a really original gift. You can make it more interesting by copying some nice songs or pictures to it, or adding an iTunes subscription to the package.
How much? The 80GB model costs about $250 at most online stores (free shipping), and the 160GB model goes for about $350.
What else? If they're really in to gadgets, you can also get an iPod touch. On the downside, it costs more and has less battery time & space. This one's all show & tell!
Where? Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, TigerDirect.com


#2: Digital Camera

Why a Digital Camera? They're cheaper and better than ever, and who doesn't like to take pictures with friends and family? Keep in mind that most people don't even use 90% of the complicated features expensive cameras have, so there's no need to spend 100's of dollars.
Why not? I think this one isn't good for all ages; Young children would still rather get video games or their favorite toy. Also, as a general guideline, the more social the person is, the more likely he or she will like this present.
How much? There is so much variety with these cameras, but you can get a great one for only $175.
Where? Check out these bestselling cameras, all have high ratings and low price tags: Amazon.com


#3: Nintendo Wii

Why a Nintendo Wii? The Wii is incredibly fun for the whole family. Because it's a very social gaming console, it can bring you closer to the people you love. Plus, it's unlike any other console you have every used - just try it and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Why not? It costs a bit more than the others, and not everyone likes video games. On the other hand, they probably haven't tried the Wii...
How much? Due to the huge demand, the Wii costs anywhere between $250 to $500.
Where? Check out this guide to the Wii and other retailers such as Amazon.com

Toys & Games 

For the younger crowd... and some of the grownups too


#1: Webkinz

Why Webkinz? They're cute, cuddly, and they're the hottest toy since the last hot toy! It's like the same old toys we once used to have, but there's a twist: You can connect to an interactive Webkinz community with your Webkin! (Not with the Webkin itself, with your computer :)
Why not? As you may have guessed, kids over a certain age will probably lose interest in this type of toys.
How much? Anywhere between $10 and $500, depends how rare, cute and cuddly they are!
Where?Amazon.com, eBay.com




#2: Radica UB Funkeys

Why Funkeys? They're the coolest new way to play games online: each one unlocks new zones where players win coins and decorate their virtual cribs for others to see. They're great for kids 10-12 years old.
Why not? Beats me! They're cheap, they're cool, funky and everyone wants one. I don't think you can go wrong with the funkies, unless they creep you out a bit.
How much? Only $5-$20!
Where? Amazon.com




#3: Guitar Hero

Why Guitar Hero? It's really fun, develops talent, and it will rock your face off! It's the newest fab, plus it has been featured on South Park too! It also has is a wide range of ages: Pick the Fisher Price "I can play guitar" for ages 6-9 and Guitar Hero for the more grown kids.
Why not? Costs a bit more than the others, and can become a bit addictive. Also, very importantly, you will need a Playstation 2/3, Nintendo Wii or an Xbox to play this game!
How much? Both "I can play guitar" and Guitar Hero cost about $100.
Where? Amazon.com
