  2. OS X Icon Pillows $29 ea. $149 Set – Bring OS X to life with this creative collection of 6 fleece pillows derived from the Finder, iTunes, iChat, Photobooth, iPhoto, Dashboard, and iMovie
  3. MacWorld/MacLife Magazine $19.95/$19.95 – We do live in age age of digital media and on demand content, but for me, getting a magazine in the mail every month is alot more fun and entertaiing then just reading the stuff online. $20 for 12 issues is a great price as well.
  4. Airport Express W/Air Tunes $59.99 – The main reason this one made the list was becuase of the Air Tunes Support. Air Tunes allows you to wirelesly stream your music to your home sound system. It also triples it usage by being a wireless base station as well as a wireless print server. All in one little box for $59.99
  5. Cables, lots of cables. $5-150 – If you use a Mac anything like I use a Mac, you need a lot of cables. I am constantly on the move with my Mac, and constantly needing to hook it up to stuff. I carry 6 cable with me. (DVI to HDMI, DVI to DVI, Optical Toslink, Cat5, FireWire 400/800, and USB 2.0) If you were to buy all of these cables at a store like BestBuy you would pay well over $200. If you shop at monoprice.com, you can get all of these for under $60

Season of the shows FireFly, Star Trek, and Entourage also make good gifts. :) have fun and enjoy the Holidays!
