Got a special geek or gamer on your gift list? Not only are these top picks for great gifts ideal, they will appeal even to those geeks and gamers over the age of 30.

1. SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive

The SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive is uber small and packs in 2GB of storage on a USB 2.0 drive ideal for faster data transfer. It works on both Windows and Mac systems and includes encryption software for data privacy.

2. Microsoft Zune 30GB Media Player

Microsoft clearly (no pun intended) understands that not everyone has the eyes of a teenager. Sporting a larger screen, the Zune bridges the generation gap brought on by the teeny iPod video. Plus, the music can be shared wirelessly, battery life is up to 14 hours of continuous play, and it supports non-proprietary formats so you can listen - or watch - your collection on a variety of systems. 

3. Nintendo Wii

Nintendo is another company bridging the generation gap, offering a game console the whole family can enjoy. No more fumbling with unwieldy controllers, the Wii offers a motion-detecting 'remote' that allows the player to truly interact with the game. Not only is playing the Wii fun, it's a great workout as well. And who said gamers were couch potatoes? 

4. Zelda: Twilight Princess

Created by the legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, the Legend of Zelda series has become one of the most popular console games of all time. The latest installment, Zelda: Twilight Princess, runs on both the Nintendo Game Cube and the new Nintendo Wii. 

5. Office Space

Office Space, circa 1999, is as fresh, modern, and hilarious today as it was when it was filmed. If you've ever worked in an office - any office - this movie will be sure to delight. You'll have a fun time matching your co-workers to the quirky personas portrayed in the film. 

6. World of Warcraft 60-Day Game Card

Give your gamer the gift of sixty days free play on World of Warcraft (game not included). A perfect stocking stuffer! 

7. Bose SoundDock for iPod

For iPod lovers, help them appreciate their music collection even more with the Bose SoundDock Digital Music System for iPod. Slip the iPod in the cradle, then use the mini-remote to select (or shuffle) a musical experience the whole house will enjoy.
