While many people download music (often illegally) many people still appreciate the feel of a real CD, a proper case and printed media - while I may seem old-fashioned, placing a CD in a player adds an authenticity I don't get when I play an mp3.

There are literally thousands of albums available for under $15; click here to see the newest and most popular CDs available. Currently you have a choice of teen pop idols like Taylor Swift and One Direction, some Christmas albums and even an album by the ever young Rod Stewart.

You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get an mp3 player. This Mini Clip Mp3 player supports up to 8gb of external memory to allow you to dowload and play thousands of mp3s. While not as elegant as an iPod or Sandisk player it is functional and has pretty decent sound.

For the price you simply cannot go wrong - this is a great stocking stuffer for teenagers - it also doubles as a card reader. (Note - this does not come with any memory - you will have to buy that separately.)

While never a classic, The Force Unleashed II is a very good game that takes you into the Star Wars world. With great graphics and fun game play it will provide much entertainment.

With puzzle solving, customization and more combo attacks the game becomes more than a simple action game.

So you bought your wife the Kindle for Christmas, so why not buy her one of the top selling books of 2010 to go with it. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a great thriller. It's a dark and often sinister murder mystery that is very well written and is full of intrigue, suspense and above all, great characters.

It should be noted that this book is very adult oriented, so the book should not be bought for children - if you think your child is old enough to read it, I suggest you read the book first so you can make an informed decision.

With the cold weather on the way it's essential that you keep your fingers warm while out. These thermal gloves do that as they are lined by Genuine 3M Thinsulate lining - they are guaranteed to keep you warm.

However, in this age of the cell phone a lot of people find it hard to type when out in the cold weather - luckily these gloves are designed to keep your fingers free when needed, and then to cover them when not - you therefore do not have to remove the whole glove to text your friends or update Facebook.

While they can be pricey, if you wait for them to go on sale you can pick up a box of 24 Keurig coffees for less than $15 making them cheaper than if you bought them from the local 7-11!

Many people will want to lose some of those pounds they have put on during the Christmas period, so they'll be out jogging or exersizing.

This watch is a feature-laden sports watch ideal for the sports enthuist, especially during the winter weather. With a timer, a dual time zone function, a day-date-month calender, and a quick drying strap, this watch is ideal for all conditions and 'extreme' sports.
