(NC)-It would appear that the surprises in Santa's sack are not just for kids. Growing up to adulthood has simply paved the way to a whole new world of sophisticated toys.

Here, courtesy of Future Shop, is a quick list of the most exciting, high-tech items turning heads this holiday season:

Flat Panel TV:

High definition televisions are hot and prices are at the lowest to date. Take a look at the Sharp Aquos Widescreen LCD HDTV, size choice from 26" to 52". This model's advanced technology produces crisper, more defined and lifelike images.

Laptops:

Handy, mobile computers are a must-have tool now for work and play. Laptops are increasingly used for entertainment like gaming, viewing downloadable digital content, web conferencing, listening to music, creating movies and photo albums to share with friends. Take a look at the value offered with the Toshiba Satellite Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5 GHz

MP3 / iPod:

This year, it's the iPod touch everyone is talking about. Using a large 3.5" display, the multi-touch interface lets the user control everything with just their fingers: glide through albums, flick through photos, and enlarge them instantly. iPod touch has built-in Wi-Fi wireless networking too.

GPS Navigation:

Equip your car with the advanced, Bluetooth, hands-free, Navigon 7100. In addition to text-to-speech spoken directions, it is the first to offer reality view and lane assist features. Reality view provides photo-realistic, 3D images of complex interchanges, with actual road sign text on a 4.3" wide-screen display. Lane assist indicates the best lane to be driving in.

Digital Camera:

High tech has delivered image stabilization to ensure the perfect shot. Very popular is the Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1 Megapixel Digital Camera.

Gaming:

You can't go wrong with Wii, PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 for kids. These items are expected to sell out.

Cell phones:

Multiple electronic services are integrated now into one device. Cell phones impress with MP3 capability, video, music, web access and more. Very popular is the Sony Ericsson W580.

Gift Cards:

Instead of guessing about the recipients' hopes and dreams, give them an opportunity to buy it themselves. More information is available online at futureshop.ca.
