Does someone on your wish list spend more time at the office than he or she should? You can't change a workaholic, but these gift ideas might make them more productive, happier at the office (or on the way), or entice them back to the living room.

Solo Vintage Collection - These leather, professional bags combine function (including a padded laptop section) with gorgeous styling. My wife calls the Satchel model "the best bag she's ever used." $80 (Satchel)

SimpleTech Fabrik [re]drive - Made of bamboo and recyclable aluminum, it's the greenest external hard drive on the planet and amazingly affordable. $75 (500GB)

Sony Nav-U NV-U94T GPS - A huge screen and easy attachment to your dash make this GPS unit a standout. It's as plug-and-play as GPS gets. $400

Canon PowerShot A590IS Digital Camera - This pocket camera is both dirt cheap and has been showered with praise for its image stabilization features, 4x optical zoom, and complete set of manual controls. $111

Duracell Daylite LED Flashlight - Amazingly bright for an LED-powered mini-flashlight, this Duracell model features an adjustable-width beam and even includes the AA batteries. A great stocking stuffer at just $22

Lenovo ThinkPad T Series - Who wouldn't want a brand new laptop? Awesome combination of performance, portability, and features from ThinkPad's premiere model series. Starts at $879  

Belkin Switch-to-Mac Cable - Buddy making the move from PC to Apple? This cable, with built-in software, moves files, media, and relevant settings from Windows to MacOS with a mere couple of clicks. $50

ezGear ezSpace UFO - Yes it's a power strip, but what a genius design: A round body ensures A/C adapters each have plenty of room to get a socket of their own, while keeping them up off the floor to keep them cool. $31
