In that case, I could really use a PS3 (just for the Blu-Ray, though). ;)

Give the gift of Netflix. My brother-in-law gave us a 4-month gift subscription. It was easy to set up the account, and we got to customize the choices to our liking. That makes it a versatile gift for anyone, of any age or interest.

Actually, I would go one step further and buy Roku box to go along with the Netflix subscription. Roku rox!

Anyway it depends upon who the gift is for, for boys 3+ I would suggest Legos.
The first season of Lost is good, you can find it for very cheap second hand now a days.
Or Firefly, you can never go wrong with Firefly

Oh...You wanted practical ideas didn't you. Gift cards to walmart are always good.

We did that for a guy we know and his wife, for a birthday, they loved it. You can find the popcorn that is already in the bucket (Act II I think) and put the rest in the bucket.

For single or younger guys (or gamer girls) Gamefly subscriptions.

Older movies rereleased on DVD are great! (I am looking for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, my VHS copy got eaten by my vcr.)
