Christmas is just around the corner.  The malls are getting overcrowded with shoppers, there are Christmas parties left and right, the holiday wishes cards start trickling in and the traffic has gotten horrendous.  If you have not done any of your gifts shopping yet, then you must be stressing out or worrying about it.  Unless you have consciously done your shopping early and if you are fortunate enough to have the budget, gifts shopping should be done way before the first day of December.

Of course, most of us cannot afford to do that.  So when December comes, we wrack our brains thinking about which gifts to give whoever.  If you are dead set on giving somebody you know some kind of gadget for Christmas, then let this guide help you choose which ones would be the best choices.

Video game consoles will always be one of the top gadget gift options at any given time.  There are at least three kinds that dominate the market at the moment: PlayStation, Nintendo Wii and Xbox.  Wii is a good choice of console for the casual gamer who likes having visitors over, as it is a social gaming console.  Because of its motion sensor games, players who use Wii are forced to move about and get a bit of exercise.  PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, on the other hand, are more like the traditional gaming consoles, except that their graphics have gone on overdrive.  There is an ongoing debate as to which one of them is better than the other, but it all just boils down to preference.

Photography enthusiasts are spoilt for choice when it comes to digital camera options.

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC TS1 is the company’s first attempt at producing a shock-proof/waterproof compact camera.  It is waterproof for up to 10 feet in depth, dustproof and shock-proof from up to 5 feet.  It is not as shock-proof or as impervious to elements compared to other brand models.  However, it was still a relative success.

Nikon D-5000

Those who would like to take their digital photography to the next level will certainly appreciate a Nikon D-5000.  Unfortunately, it is one of the pricier entry-level digital SLR’s in the market at the moment.  It more than makes up for the price, though.  This is because it has great photo quality, an above-average kit lens and a solid performance.

Mobile phones are also popular Christmas gifts as there are loads of models out now that are affordable and packed with features.

HTC Touch Pro2

The HTC Touch Pro2 is a good option, especially for people that are always on the go.  This smartphone not only has good multimedia features, but also offers all types of productivity tools.  It apparently has one of the best QWERTY keyboards available in smartphones.

Apple’s iPhone is one of the best Christmas gift options this year, because there are endless possibilities for customization.  It is not just a mobile phone with an MP3 player.  With the iPhone, you can play games, check your emails, surf the internet, listen to podcasts and play videos.
