Not every toy has to be some fancy thing.  The Comfort Lapdesk by Logitech is the perfect companion for any laptop owner.  I know I hate resting my laptop on my legs or a pillow when I am waiting television and want to check my mail or something.  The Lapdesk allows you to put your laptop at the proper angle, keeps it cool, and can be used anywhere.  This is a nice little accessory and for under $40 it makes a nice gift too.
