The 2009 holiday season is rapidly approaching! Do you know what you’re going to get your geek this year? Here’s a guide for those of you looking for ideas.

• Blue Violet Laser Pointer – $72.99
  For some reason unbeknownst to me, even though I am a self-described geek, laser pointers are absolutely fascinating to geeks and cats. This thing is a king among laser pointers. The unique blue violet color really makes it stand out among a sea of red and will even impress geeks who have the cherished green laser pointer.
• RAM Upgrade – $20-$100
  Unless your geek has already maxed out his or her computer with memory, more is always appreciated. RAM will make the computer faster and more responsive which means your present will make it’s recipient very happy. Just make sure you get the right kind.
• USB Flash Drive – $10-$40
  Storage is king in a digital world and every geek needs something small and pocketable to store their stuff. Thankfully, USB flash drives just keep getting more storage for a lower price. On the high end you can get a 16GB drive for under $40, whereas even as much as 2GB will only set you back a ten spot.
• Griffin PowerMate – $40.99
  This little guy is probably one of the coolest USB input devices ever greated. For the audiophile and/or videophile in your life, there is no better computer accessory. This brushed metal spinning knob is perfect for audio or video editing, works on the Mac and PC, is compatible with pretty much any application, and can even be mapped to pretty much any repetitive keystroke.
• Powermat Charging Station – $99.99
  I’ll be honest, I’ve got no clue how this thing works, but it looks sofa king awesome. Essentially, there’s something you do to “enable” your mobile device, then all you have to do is set them on this thing and they wirelessly charge. Pretty cool, right?
• iPod Shuffle – $55-$75
  Coming in at either 2GB or 4GB of storage and in a variety of colors, this is easily the best of the less-expensive mp3 players and allows you to do exactly what is advertised: Listen to your music, shuffled, wherever you are. It can hold up to 1000 songs and can play music for up to 10 hours on a single charge.
