Here's their wish list (SPOILER: It's all Apple stuff):

BTW, if you hate the gallery format as much as the Grinch hated Christmas, click here.

Magic Mouse: It's a bit too expensive for stocking stuffer territory, but we've called the nipple-less design the best mouse Apple has ever made. And if you can't appreciate touch-sensitive scrolling, you have no soul (or, at least not one that we can see). $70 [Apple]

Buffy Gelaskins: Loving Apple will only half-fill one's necessary geek quotient. Your loved one will do well filling the other half with Buffy, now that Dark Horse comics has teamed up with Gelaskins re-stickable case skins for the iPhone and MacBooks. $15 iPhone, $30 MacBook. [Dark Horse]

iMac (27-inch i7): You simply won't find a more striking desktop on the market, but maybe more importantly, benchmarks on Apple latest top-tier iMac are currently challenging far more expensive Mac Pros. Plus, the line has just seen a refresh, so it's a good time to buy. $2200+ [Apple]

BookArc Stand: No, it's not the gift for everyone. But if you know a guy who just docks his MacBook anyway, the BookArc Stand is a far more elegant solution than sitting a laptop on a desk (especially since the laptop should run cooler given the increased surface area for airflow). [BookArc]

Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree (T-Shirt): Who says the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? This t-shirt, that's who. $18. [Go Ape Shirts]

Apple Tablet IOU: Apple fanboys love Apple's products. But true Apple fanboys—those who take commitment and fanaticism to the next level—could never be pleased with what Apple currently has on the table. They need the Next Big Thing. We're about 1000% certain that Apple will release a tablet some time in 2010. Promise your loved ones that you'll camp overnight and drop the cash so they get the Apple Tablet first. Of course, they'll still bitch about it, anticipating version 2.0. Price Unknown, Costs Some Dignity

DON'T BUY MacBook Pro: There has simply never been a worse time to buy a new MacBook Pro. With Core i5/i7 tech inevitably waiting to make its way into Apple's premium laptops, your hard-earned cash will almost certainly buy a vastly more powerful, more future-proof machine less than a month after Christmas. The same can probably be said about Mac Pros, too. Oh, and that 27-inch iMac we keep raving about? What a glorious alternative to the aging, 30-inch Apple Cinema Display! [Apple]

Wall of Sound iPod Dock: There are iPod docks, and there are iPod docks. This is most definitely the latter, a handcrafted, 3x4-foot, 225lb, 125W beast. And one day, when Apple inevitably tweaks the iPod port, this behemoth will be useless—feeding into the general regret and dissatisfaction critical to Apple fandom. [Wall of Sound]

Don't forget to recommend your own favorite Apple gear in comments-include pics and pricing if possible.

All Giz Wants is our annual round-up of favorite gift ideas, including amazing attainable objects and a few far-out fantasies. We'll be popping guides catered to different interests several times per day for the next week, so keep checking back.

<![CDATA[Design Your Own Laptop, Phone or Kindle GelaSkin]]> GelaSkins makes stylish, reusable skins for iPhones/iPods, Blackberries laptops and Kindles. But now, instead of choosing from their designs, you can upload your own art to customize your gear.

(Disregard the indescribable ugliness of the lead shot and reach out with your imaginations.)

While GelaSkins can't come out and make this point, their new design process is probably the best way to get your favorite niche, licensed art wrapped around your gadgets. (It's easier for me to just rip and upload what I want than GelaSkins cutting more deals with companies like Dark Horse.)

The most enticing piece, however, is that the customization process doesn't seem to run a price premium over standard GelaSkins. Phone skins still hover around $15 with laptop skins running $30. [GelaSkins]

<![CDATA[Buffy and Hellboy Skins on Apple Products, Dual-Fanboys Ascend to Nirvana]]> Dark Horse Comics (Buffy, Hellboy) and GelaSkins (those dudes who make reusable sticky skins for iPhones, Macbooks, etc) have conceived and birthed a line of products to which all geeks will find themselves un-immune.

Hellboy, Buffy and a bunch of other Dark Horse IPs are now available in GelaSkin form (heck, there's even some Bettie Page thrown in there for good measure). iPhone skins go for $15 while 13 and 15-inch Macbook/general laptop skins cost $30.

You've likely seen the iconic art before, but that's alright. I could stare at Sarah Michelle Gellar's estranged cousin for days.

<![CDATA[Steampunk-ify Your iPod With Gelaskins]]> We usually just skip over skins and cases for iPods, but this one by Colin Thompson for Gelaskins is different. Look at the depth and realism achieved by this pair of stickers that you place on almost any iPod including the latest touch. It's $14.95, but the steampunkatude points you'll score after adorning your said music player with such things might make the expenditure worthwhile. Don't like this one? There are dozens more styles on the site. [Gelaskins, via Boing Boing]

<![CDATA[Gelaskins: Totally Awesome MacBook Skins]]> Gelaskins, the company that makes sweet art skins for your iPod, is now also selling skins for your MacBook or MacBook Pros. Featuring more irreverent stuff like the infamous Flying Spaghetti Monster to masterpieces of art like Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave to contemporary artist Bob Dob's Rough Night Out (pictured above), they've got so many sweet designs it almost makes me wish I was an Apple fanboy with a MacBook. Almost.
