Need to get a gift that doesn’t break the bank for someone special this holiday season? Here are a few ideas.

iPod shuffle - Apple’s cheapest iPod to date is also the tiniest one we’ve seen so far, and with the built-in clip and 1GB of storage, you just can’t go wrong with the iPod shuffle. (www.apple.com, $79)

Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave - Logitech has paired both an excellent keyboard, along with a great mouse and it’s wave design comforms naturally to your fingers, and is ergonomically correct to prevent carpal tunnel and RSI (repetitive strain injury). It isn’t too expensive either at just under $90. (www.logitech.com, $89)

Palm Centro - As one of the cheapest smartphones to date, the Palm Centro is perfect for a newcomer to smartphones or the teenager looking for more than just a typical flip-phone. Be sure to check if the person you’re giving this to has Sprint though, since it’s exclusive to them for now. (www.palm.com, $99)

Nintendo DS Lite - Looking for a portable gaming system for kids or one that isn’t too expensive? Go for the Nintendo DS Lite, it’s interactive features and wide selection of games make it perfect for kids and adults alike. (www.nintendo.com, $129)

V-Moda Vibe Earbuds - Get rid of those crummy white iPod earbuds, and replace them with better sounding, and inexpensive ones. The V-Moda Vibe’s are our pick for the year and they even have an iPhone compatible version called the Vibe Duo with a built-in mic. (www.v-moda.com, $99)
