Good Christmas gift ideas for gadgets geeks range from the must-have electronics to the novel and esoteric gadgets and gifts. Safe bets include such big ticket items as iPods and iPhone from Apple and AT&T or the new Google Phone or GPhone from T-Mobile. Obviously, these high priced items won't make it into each one of your beloved geeks' stockings, but there is a galaxy of peripheral gadgets and add-ons that also make great gifts, especially if the recipient already has the item. Headphones and car adapters for iPods, decorative covers and heasets for iPhones and GPhones make great supplements to pricey Christmas gifts.

For the novel side of the geek gift list, try something quirky, clever and useful (optional). Consider a WiFi Detector T-Shirt, a USB watch, or anything with Bluetooth. Aside from electronics and gadgets, apparel with tech humor or other inside jokes make great gifts, too.

The one thing that you should avoid when shopping for gadgets and electronics for geeks is bargain shopping. Geeks are some of the most discerning consumers on the planet, and while generic cereal and toothpaste may be on par with their brand name counterparts, imitators in the gadget world simply don't make the grade. Marked down or refurbished brand name items may make good gifts, but make sure that they aren't outdated models. Read some reviews before making a purchase and be creative and thoughtful and you are sure to please any geek on your Christmas shopping list.
