By Michelle Robert

Looking to create some "family bonding" and add to your family fun throughout the year? Or perhaps you would like to save on entertainment expenses and create a home theater instead of going out? What about that TV/movie lover on your Christmas list?

As the holiday season and winter arrives, many people, whatever the reason, start to think about TVs, DVRs, and home theater systems. Does this describe you? Then read on for some super home entertainment gift ideas.

Anyone who has searched for a great, small-size HDTV knows that this can be challenging. Most high-quality HDTVs are in the larger sizes, and those that typically exist in a small size, often sacrifice good picture for a small screen. A perfect solution to the problem of wanting excellent visual clarity for a small space is the Sharp Aquos LC20D42U 20-Inch LCD HDTV. At less than 16 pounds, it is the perfect size for the kitchen counter, bedroom, or even a dorm room - basically any place where space is at a premium. And the picture quality is truly superb, with awesome color, an extremely clear picture, and a high-performance LCD panel to insure that the viewer enjoys the benefits of full HDTV quality throughout the day, in a variety of environments and lighting situations.

Now if you plan to make a home theater purchase, take a look at the JVC THG40 DVD Digital Theater System with iPod Connection: it is a great way to have that theater experience in your home, without spending a fortune in the process. Highly-rated by Consumer Reports, the JVC THG40 DVD Digital Theater System with iPod Connection does a superb job of delivering a quality audio/visual experience and at an affordable price. The sound of the JVC THG40 is impressive and quite good for a small to medium-sized room. And with the iPod dock option, you can listen to all of your favorite music as well.

And wouldn't you love to be able to watch your favorite TV shows when you want, instead of adhering to the networks' schedule? With the TiVo TCD658000 HD XL DVR you can work or play, never worrying about seeing your favorite shows, because your TiVo is back at home, recording all of your favorite TV shows, waiting for you to watch them whenever you want. If you already know about TiVo and its great reputation for quality and super video recording features, then you will appreciate that the TiVo HD XL is nearly 7 times the size of the TiVo HD DVR, which allows it to hold up to 150 hours of HD programming or 1,350 hours of standard-definition programming.
