Christmas, it’s meant to be a time to relax and spend time with your family and friends. However, it’s generally never is. The day itself is ok, however, the build up to that day is what I’m talking about, that’s where the stress can really kick in.

The worst thing about Christmas is the shopping, having to pick out gifts for all your family. Then once you’ve chosen you have to stand in the shops waiting to buy your items. This entire process happens while being knocked and elbowed by crazy people running through the shops looking for last minute presents. For the reason above, that’s why so many thousand people will do their Christmas shopping on the internet.

By choosing to shop online, you have lifted some of the weight off your shoulders, however, you still have to decide what to buy your family. One of the best things you could buy this year would be a gadget, they have become so popular over the last few years and are still a must have.

Here’s my top 5 list of gadgets for Christmas 2009.

• iPod Nano. This latest product from Apple brings you both portable music, plus the added feature of being able to record video.
• Nintendo DSi. The latest Nintendo handheld console, the DSi brings yet more features to the handheld gaming world. Not only does this new version come 10% lighter than the previous handheld, but it also features 2 new cameras, as well as larger screens.
• PSPGo. Another handheld now, this time from Sony. This new model of the PSP is alot smaller, lighter and thinner than the current PSP. The biggest difference in this new handheld is the removal of discs, all games are bought and downloaded via the Playstation Store and then saved onto the PSPGo’s hard drive.
• Tony Hawks Ride. This latest skating game from Tony Hawk is looking to change the way skating games are played. The game comes with a Wii Balance Board style controller to make you really feel like you’re in the game itself.
• Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard. Logitech are the master of all PC gaming items. The latest gaming keyboard from Logitech, the G19, towers over the previous model, the G15. With an improved LCD display, more G-keys and custom lighting, this keyboard is the master of gaming equipment.

The majority of those don’t come cheap. If you’re looking for something a little less pricey, you can still get some great gadgets at even better prices. Items such as ipod speakers and LED shower heads are great fun to have. If you’re looking for some gadgets that are more practical novelty alarm clocks are great gifts.
