Sony Cyber-shot 5.0-Megapixel Digital Camera($499.99)

Weighing in at 6.6 Ounces, Sony's Cyber shot series of camera is one of the most popular digital cameras due to its extreme quality of photos and its small compact size all in one. This particular model of camera sports a 5.0-megapixel Super HAD CCD image sensor, 3x optical zoom; selectable 2x precision digital zoom, Continuous Auto Focus, and a large 2.5" LCD monitor. If you are on the go always and need top quality photos then this little model will do nicely. It only comes with thirty-two megabytes of memory so make sure to purchase a memory stick with it for good measure. If this camera is for you, it will only take $314 of that hard-earned christmas cash.

USB micro drives are becoming more and more common at an exponential rate as they become smaller and faster. The Iomega Micro Mini Gigabyte thumb drive is smaller than a human thumb.
