Okay, maybe this isn't exactly gift material, but the geek on your list has gotta have something to plug all his or her gadgets into. This 12 outlet strip ($55) provides more than AC expansion. You get fireproof surge protection for not only power, but coax and phone connections as well. Plus, you get vampire power protection – some outlets shut off when it detects the device plugged in is turned off, which could save up to $50 a year.
