Anyone who plays Wii extensively will appreciate this charge station which replaces alkaline batteries with rechargeable ones (included.) The user just had to replace the controllers in the unit when not in use. Other Wii accessory ideas: extra controllers and nunchuks.

I just love this clock radio -- and now I can listen to my iPod in my bedroom. Also take a look at the iHome under-the-counter system and at portable speakers.

The earbuds that come with iPods and MP3 players are often inadequate because they do not provide the best sound or most comfortable fit. Most people end up getting replacement earbuds like these Sennheisers.

When the iPhone or iPod Touch connects to the internet or runs videos and complex applications, it drains the battery. This battery extender lengthens the time between charges. Anyone who has an iPhone or who uses an iPod for long hours away from home will appreciate it.

Although a little on the pricey side, this cordless laptop mouse is excellent. It's a full-size mouse with a tiny USB transmitter that plugs into the notebook. It comes with a soft travel case and a spot inside the mouse for storing the transmitter.

This webcam is a good mid-price device that is ideal for Skype. To get full benefit from the features, your recipient should have Windows XP or Vista. Although it works on my Mac for Skype and internet chat, I can't use it for other purposes. (Note: most recent Mac notebooks and monitors have webcams built in.)

Wow. Convert your recipient's Flip Video camera into an underwater camcorder. Great for snorkelers.

For the SLR camera photographer on your list: this backpack allows for hands free storage of lenses and equipment.

This external DVD/CD-ROM drive goes with the mini laptops, or netbooks, that are currently popular but which don't have internal space for such drives.
