Top 100 Christmas Presents 2008: 45 to 41
It didn’t bother me when we first started our Top 100 Christmas Presents feature but now I’m starting to get jealous with every day that goes by. I’m salivating, I’m actually weeping ever so slightly like I’m giving away these gadgets myself because I want them. I want all of this next five.

Christmas Tech Trumpet: O Come All Ye Faithful Mix
It’s December, so it’s about time to dust off the Christmas carols and synth them up a bit.
So, here’s the classic “O Come all Ye Faithful” (no, it’s not “Why are we waiting?” OK?) but done just a little differently.

Onwards and upwards – or downwards, I suppose, depending on how you look at it. We’ve got some rather more traditional gifts today – all of which will be warmly received by anyone that you choose to give them to. Well, perhaps. Not sure if your aunt’s into torque wrenches, but you must know someone who is…

We’ve reached the half-way point! From tomorrow, absolutely everything in the list will be top fifty, and therefore incredible. But today? Today’s pretty incredible too.

After yesterday’s segment of ‘useful’ gadgets, today we’ve got a whole lot of silly going on. From Piano Hands (a bit like Jazz hands, but more refined) to a telescopic iPhone zoom lens. One special mention for the cat-flap though, it’s not silly at all, and is a perfect pressie for any cat lovers you know.

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month. We’re into December, and Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ is starting to get played in the shops. A lot, as it turns out. Today we’ve got a load of stuff that falls into the ‘useful’ category. Especially if you’re a table-tennis player. Click into the main post to begin.
Solar-powered LED Christmas lights – and may all your Christmases be green
I can’t say my carbon footprint is the biggest worry for me over Christmas. It’s probably more like managing to get all my presents in time and making sure I’m not the person who has to deal with the tree after it starts to look a lot less festive and drops all of it’s browning needles over the carpet.
However, if you’re thinking Christmas 2.0 then you’re probably all into energy saving both for the sake of the environment and for credit crunch cash-strapping reasons as well. In which case, you need to get yourself over to Eco Geek Living and pick up a set of these solar-powered LED Christmas Lights…
Top 100 Christmas Presents 2008: 80 – 76
Having eliminated some of the lesser gifts in the top hundred, things are now starting to hot up. Today we’ve got some gifts for the older presentee. None of these will really work for your 14-year-old godson, but an ever-so-slightly older gadgetee will be over the moon. Don’t worry – more Triceratops tomorrow.
