6. iBoo iPod Docking Station
iBoo iPod Docking Station, $79.99
Know a worthy elementary or middle school graduate yearning for some independence? The iBoo could make an adorable gift. The iBoo’s Pac-Man-style could spruce up bedroom décor, and its function as a digital sound hub could turn “Go to your room!” into a reward. The eyes on the baby ghost are speakers, and a subwoofer lives in its belly. The dock ships with more than half a dozen differently shaped dock holsters, so every size and shape of iPod (including both iPhones) will fit comfortably on the ghost’s head. One freaky, yet fun, feature is the touchable controls around the ghost. Instead of buttons, iPod functions and sound volume are controlled by lightly touching a finger to various points around the ghost (of course, you can always use the included remote control, too). An audio jack allows for sound input from TVs, gaming consoles, radios, computers, CD players, or other types of MP3 players.
While the design is cutesy, the sound won’t make mom and dad cringe. Before you know it, the family will relocate iBoo from a spot on the graduate’s desk to the coffee table in the living room, where it will be the life of the party.

A bit late. Everyone I know has graduated.
No high-school school or middle school years have ended, and no quarter-system universities have finished the semester yet. Semester system universities held graduation, mostly, last week. I don't think it is too late to be thinking about graduation gifts at all.

No, ur wrong, everyone I know graduated 5 years ago. Duh.
My graduation gift is $1000 rent with a tenant who will do her best to kick me out.
Can I has your gift instead?
Here are my thoughts.
On the AIO PC: It's nothing more than a laptop without a battery. Nothing can be upgraded. Consider getting a Laptop instead. On the plus side, it is stylish.
On the HP Printer (from personal experience): Every HP printer I've used have had horrible problems loading paper. Consider Lexmark or Canon.
On the Panasonic Camera: Nikon's Coolpix and Canon's Powershot can be found at similar prices and are (generally) better cameras.
I must admit though, the N10Jc looks pretty cool

Hey Quantumrand,
Thanks for you advice. What if I asked for you to find me a computere under $500 with a tiny footprint (no tower) and a bigger than 17-inch screen. Would you be able to do that? That's where I think the cheapie AIOs come into play.

Better as a wrist support pad. I have 3 PC's and I can only use this one 1 of the them. Really? I have to buy 3 separate Replicas for my PC's? In this economy? No thanks

There is a multi-PC version of the Seagate Replica, we just didn't review it: http://shop.seagate.com/store/sgat [...] .125882200
All I know is that the best gift buy would be great if I wasn't worried about other luxuries such as food, clothing, & shelter.
