Christmas and the rest of the winter holidays are fast approaching, and shorter days have geeks across America thinking even more about techno-toys. In the spirit of spreading holiday cheer of the gadget variety, InfoWorld.com presents its picks for the coolest gadgets for Christmas 2011 for that special geek in your life (or just for yourself!).

They range from inexpensive stocking stuffers to pricier centerpiece gifts.
