Your Mac mini is coming up on its first birthday, and I'm confident that your Macintosh has been good all year long. So, whatever your excuse, now is a great time to pick up a gift for that special someone - or something. Below are a few of our favorite mini accessories.

 

Mighty Mouse from Apple

Make your mini Mighty! - Mighty Mouse from Apple

If you grabbed an old mouse for your new mini, now is the time to make it up to your machine. Get mighty with multiple buttons and psycho-cool scrolling.

iMic from Griffin Technology

Be heard! Add an audio input to your mini - iMic from Griffin Technology

You can't use Skype or Garage Band until you get some hardware to get audio into your mini. This USB audio solution from Griffin Tech provides you with mini jack inputs for your aux out or microphone.

Airport Express from Apple

Mobile Music with AirPort Express - Airport Express from Apple

If you don't already have one, the AipPort Express can be a useful addition to your mini and your home network. Use to it stream iTunes across your network, using your mini as a wireless music server.

Uninterrupted Power Supply by Belkin

Keep your mini going through the storm - Uninterrupted Power Supply by Belkin

Watch your back with a continuous power solution. Depending on what peripherals you use, this backup power solution can keep your mini going for hours during a blackout.

LCD Monitor by Samsung

Go flat and save space - LCD Monitor by Samsung

Reward your Mac and your eyes with a flat panel monitor like this Samsung. Using the DVI connector, the signal sent to the monitor is digital and sharp.

Acrylic phone stand

Clear stand has you covered - Acrylic phone stand

Don't laugh. A clear acrylic phone stand provides the mini with adequate breathing room and protection while providing you a place to store your keyboard. Remember, Apple doesn't like you stacking things on top of your mini!

Wireless Remote by Kensington

Squelch iMac jealousy, get a remote - Wireless Remote by Kensington

The new iMac comes with a remote, but there's no reason you mini shouldn't. This palm-sized USB wireless remote will have you clicking from your couch.

External Firewire Drive for the mini by LaCie

Bulk up your storage space - External Firewire Drive for the mini by LaCie

The mini is a little short on drive space. Rather than dragging it to your Apple Store or cracking it with a putty knife you can pick up a spacious external drive like this LaCie external drive made to fit under your mini.

Don't wait too long, the holidays are here and it would be a shame to have that stocking empty! For the team here at MacMerc, we wish you and your Mac the best for the season!
