DV Hardware's weekly Christmas and New Year ideas

X-mas and New Year is coming up next week and probably most of you are still looking for some nice gifts. Here are some ideas

One of Apple's nifty mini Ipods or the Creative Zen Micro 5 GB MP3 Player. And if you're extremely generous a Apple 40 GB iPod.

The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy featuring 12 DVD discs! This includes all Extended Editions and a bunch of extras.

The superb Logitech MX1000 mouse. I have one of these and it's one of the best mice I ever had. Or you could go for the Logitech MX700 which is a lot cheaper.

Or maybe a good computer game like Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Rome: Total War, The Sims 2.

A 5-Megapixel digital camera like the Canon PowerShot S500, HP Photosmart R707

A mobile phone like the Sony Ericsson T616 or maybe the Nokia N-Gage QD to play a few games on.

Or a set of good books for your children like the Harry Potter Paperback Boxed Set (Books 1-5). Or maybe a pre-order of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince .

Or maybe a few goodies for your own like a HDTV; Toshiba 30HF84 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready Flat-Screen TV, Sony XS Series KDE-37XS955 37" Widescreen HDTV-Ready Flat-Panel Plasma TV, Sony KE42TS2 42" WEGA HDTV Integrated Flat Panel Plasma TV.

Or something like the PalmOne Zire 31 Handheld.
