We hope you got all of your holiday shopping done on or before Black Friday, but if you're like us, you've still got a few trips to the mall left. If there are still a couple of poker players straggling on your shopping list, we've put together a list for you to make your life easier. Here's a gallery of gifts any aspiring gambler would love to find wrapped under the tree.
These are listed in order by price, starting with the least expensive.
Ace of Apples MacBook decal ($5.90, <a href=\"http://etsy.me/umJIKG\"+>http://etsy.me/umJIKG</a>)
If the poker player in your life uses a MacBook as their online grind station, you could help transform it into the prettiest computer in the deck.

Always a good stocking stuffer, these flasks come in a variety of cool designs. There's even this suited confetti motif that will find a home in the pocket of a poker junkie somewhere.
BirchBox Limited Edition Collection ($45, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/tZpokC\"+>http://bit.ly/tZpokC</a>)
Because let's face it: most poker players could use a little attention to hygiene. Each box includes a mix of grooming and lifestyle products: Anthony Logistics for Men Lip Balm and Shave Cream, Bvlgari Man Eau de Toilette, Supersmile whitening toothpaste, Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer with SPF 20. Kérastase’s Pate Capital Force modeling paste, Bain Capital Force Densifying shampoo, Field Notes notebooks for all your brilliant ideas, a Bonobos $25 gift card, hip Skullcandy earbuds — plus a useful gym bag and EBOOST’s Super Berry Shot to keep you healthy and energized in between sessions.
SmartWool socks ($21.95, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/tpPtYj\"+>http://bit.ly/tpPtYj</a>)
Okay, you probably don't want to buy socks as a Christmas present. But if you do, you'll want to head to SmartWool's website to pick out some cozy foot dressings for the winter season.
ESPN the Magazine subscription ($26, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/urHszj\"+>http://bit.ly/urHszj</a>)
Duh. Chances are, if the person you're shopping for is into poker, they're into other sports as well. A subscription to ESPN the Magazine is a perfect gift for the sports lover, and it comes with a one-year pass to ESPN Insider, as well. For picking up some sports betting intel, we'd imagine.
Poker Room sign ($29.95, <a href=\"http://etsy.me/v3ls60\"+>http://etsy.me/v3ls60</a>)
No home game is complete without a tacky one.
Poker Face iPhone 4 case ($35, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/rtr7FD\"+>http://bit.ly/rtr7FD</a>)
This one fits the iPhone 4/4S, but they're available for the 3G/3GS as well.
North Face ETIP gloves ($40, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/f9B5ec\"+>http://bit.ly/f9B5ec</a>)
Garment technology is keeping up with our computerized world. These North Face gloves have a specially constructed index fingertip so that you don't have to remove them to operate the touch screen on your iPod.
Mino HD portable video camera ($79.99, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/9nLuzw\"+>http://bit.ly/9nLuzw</a>)
To record the rest of Christmas' memories. And you falling down the stairs. These Flip cams are the perfect way to bring some motion to your digital world.
PBR Poker Set ($75, <a href=\"http://etsy.me/unQEV6\"+>http://etsy.me/unQEV6</a>)
The poor man's deck of cards. Remember when you drank a case of PBR every night for a month trying to find that king of clubs bottle cap? No? Well it wasn't just me, either. This gent has worked through forklifts full of the swill to amass complete sets of the bottle cap \"playing cards.\" He'll even put them in an embossed wooden box for you.
PokerTracker 3 Hold'em ($89.99, <a href=\"http://www.pokertracker.com/\"+>http://www.pokertracker.com/</a>)
This one is another \"duh!\" If they don't already have it, the poker player you're shopping for almost certainly wants PokerTracker. With a long-standing reputation and an innovative staff constantly improving the product, PokerTracker has established itself as the best way to track results and hand histories from your online sessions.
Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale ($150, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/hWXwrS\"+>http://bit.ly/hWXwrS</a>)
Another tip of the cap to technology. Once again, we're faced with the reality that poker is not a very healthy lifestyle, and Withings is here to help. This Wi-Fi enabled scale records your weight and body fat, and it automatically uploads it to a server for long-term tracking. You can easily view analyses on your computer or your iPhone, making it the perfect tool to get yourself back into fighting shape after your holiday dinners. And dessert.
InCase Campus Pack ($99.95, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/o2rj31\"+>http://bit.ly/o2rj31</a>)
This one's a bit of all-purpose. It's soft like sweat pants but as durable as a Howitzer. It'll hold all your electronic goodies, a change of clothes, and the padded straps mean you can use it to carry around many heavy bricks of cash.
ESPN 30 for 30 Gift Set ($119.99, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/tyBnzk\"+>http://bit.ly/tyBnzk</a>)
You might be able to tell the person that put this list together is a sports fan. These 30 documentaries are some of the best ever made about sports, and they're all packaged neatly for you here in one little box.
Leather Head hand-made football ($120, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/niWixB\"+>http://bit.ly/niWixB</a>)
The last sports gift, I promise! Leather Head footballs are the finest pieces of pigskin you'll ever toss around your yard. Hand made with extreme attention to detail, this makes a perfect decoration for the sports room, but it's not too nice to put a boot on every now and then, either.
iPod Nano ($129, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/OCs9\"+>http://bit.ly/OCs9</a>)
The cheapest, simplest, most clever way to get your music in your ears at the poker table. If you're looking for something foolproof, Apple does not disappoint.
Sphero ($129.99, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/tDDOkI\"+>http://bit.ly/tDDOkI</a>)
What the heck? Someone buy this for me. Sphero is a stabilized, motorized ball that you can control with your iPhone/iPod/iPad. Flick left, it goes left. Draw a square and watch your Sphero follow your finger. It's filled with LCDs so it changes into a million colors, and there are even apps (like miniature golf) that allow you to use your Sphero in virtual reality.
Kindle Fire ($199, <a href=\"http://amzn.to/oZl6XM\"+>http://amzn.to/oZl6XM</a>)
Amazon's newest reader is their best effort yet. It's got a 7\" touch screen and Wi-Fi, and it puts a library of millions of books, movies, and music at your fingertips.
Washington Room Ceramic poker chip set (~$1.00/chip, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/t5Be6I\"+>http://bit.ly/t5Be6I</a>)
For something a little different. Poker sets are always nice, and this ceramic Washington Room set has our nod of approval.
Bose QuietComfort 15 Noise-Canceling Headphones ($299.95, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/rLKcnk\"+>http://bit.ly/rLKcnk</a>)
Ah, finally one of these gift ideas that I already own. And one of my most indispensable possessions. That idiot who won't stop yapping in Seat 8 down there is drowned away instantly in a sea of silence. And I dare you to get on a plane without these after you try them once. They're pricey, and they're worth every penny.
Slingbox PRO-HD ($299.99,<a href=\"http://bit.ly/4NDIYD\"+>http://bit.ly/4NDIYD</a>)
If your poker player travels a lot, especially internationally, there's no substitute for a SlingBox. You've seen the commercials. Watch your television anywhere. The SlingBox plugs into your system at home, and then you're able to control and view it from anywhere in the world via computer or iPad. Sweet!
Sonos Play:5 all-in-one wireless music system ($399, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/uiot9W\"+>http://bit.ly/uiot9W</a>)
One of the best solutions in wireless home audio today. This Sonos unit is self-contained, and you just need to plug in a power cord and an Ethernet cable. Once you do, you'll be able to stream music from any of your devices, wirelessly and effortlessly. It's high-quality, it's expandable, and it's one of our favorite gadgets of this holiday season.
Paulson Tophat & Cane poker chips (500) and case ($646.79, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/tlpmUq\"+>http://bit.ly/tlpmUq</a>)
If you've ever been to a Harrah's property and noticed the tiny top hat and cane logo on the felt, you're familiar with Paulson and you didn't even know it. The name Paulson is synonymous with the very highest quality poker chips, and their products are used by some of the best casinos all over the world. This is their trademark Tophat & Cane set, and it's not cheap. But it is fantastic. Enough said.
Apple 27-inch Thunderbolt Display ($999, <a href=\"http://bit.ly/raHXTk\"+>http://bit.ly/raHXTk</a>)
Okay, so $1,000 might be a bit steep to spend on your secret Santa. This might be a good present to yourself, though. Apple's 27-inch Cinema Display is without question the premier monitor in the price range. It's shiny and bright and crisp — and huge! If you can't fit any more tables on that little 13\" laptop, it might be time to consider adding one of these grandaddy monitors to your grind station. Once you can look past the dent in your wallet, you won't regret it for a millisecond.
