Film & TV
Lost - The Complete Third Season
Anyone that saw the season finale of Lost this year knows that while the season may have started slow it eventually turned out to be an amazing ride. Pick up a copy of the third season DVD for anyone who may have missed an episode (or all 23) of what turned out to be a shocking season of Lost.
30 Rock - Season 1
If Weekend Update is (or was) your favorite part of SNL, Alec Baldwin was your favorite SNL host and you enjoy the not-quite-sure-if-he’s-sane comedy of Tracy Morgan, then you have no business not picking up the 30 Rock DVD season 1 set. Plus with the writers strike going on you should start storing some shows to watch for next year.
Music
Tool - Vicarious DVD
Have a friend (dennis) that loves Maynard James Keenan and anything he does? If so then Vicarious is a good gift. The DVD comes from the platinum album 10,000 Days and includes a documentary on Adam Jones amazing artwork and audio commentary from comedian David Cross.
Ghostface Killah - The Big Doe Rehab
Ghostface is easily one of the most important figures in Hip-Hop period. He stands tall as a solo artist and waves the Iron Flag of the Wu-Tang at the same time. That being said, any time he comes out with a new album it is a must buy. So protect your neck and pick up The Big Dough Rehab for anyone you know who loves Hip-Hop. Word.
Gear
Nikon Coolpix S51c
The Nikon Coolpix S51c is a pretty awesome digital camera. One specific feature of interest is the ability to wirelessly upload images from the camera to the web. Yes, wirelessly. Anyway, we thought the camera was so cool we did a review and even took some pics of the staff with it too.
Check out our review of the Nikon Coolpix S51c.
Gaming
NYKO - Wii Charge Station
If you know someone that managed to get a Wii (no easy task in some parts) then we have a cool gift for them. NYKO Tech has a cool (and cheap) charging station for the wii remote. Don’t mess with batteries anymore, just put your (and your buddy’s) controllers in the dock and charge away.
Xbox 360 Messenger Kit
Microsoft released this texting keypad add on for the Xbox 360 controller a few months back but you probably missed it and spent your money on Halo 3. Well if you did pick one up and you have a buddy that didn’t, then now is the time to get one for them.
Comics
Wanted – Trade Paperback
Before you see the big screen adaptation of Mark Millar’s super assassin series, Wanted, you should take a look at the source material. Top Cow comics have re-released the series in an all new trade paperback with a revised cover. Good gift for your comic reading friends that may have missed this cool series.
New Teen Titans: Series 2 Action Figures
DC has released a new set of figures based on the classic George Perez and Marv Wolfman series, the New Teen Titians. The new set includes one of DC greatest villains, Slade Wilson aka Deathstoke the Terminator and that alone is worth the price of the entire set.
Humor
Borat: Touristic Guidings to Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Think Borat is played out, well maybe but this book is really funny. This book is a perfect companion to the film and if you like Kazak porn well then you are in for a rare treat as this book has some of that too. This is basically a coffee table book for fans of the movie and fans of weird euro porn. Borat: Touristic Guidings review.

The CoC (Comedians of Comedy) are Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Zach Galifianakis and Maria Bamford and they are very funny. This DVD finds our comedians in Los Angeles at the Troubador and joined by David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Eugene Mirman and a bunch of other comedians.
