Connect them with an Ethernet cable and copy/paste over the network.

Either us a flash drive, you can get a 16gb one for $10-15.

Or you can do like eduello said.

Connect both to your router via an ethernet cable (use a cable and not wireless because wireless is much slower). Create a shared folder on one of the computers and copy/paste the files that shared foler.

You may need to enable file sharing on one or both of the computers. You may also need to explicitly share a folder (recommend sharing on the desktop and initiating transfers from the laptop).

You might also be able to create an ADHOC, Peer to Peer network just using a crossover network cable between the two computers.

Much easier using a USB thumb drive or external hard drive. Or just burn files to cd/dvd.

Easiest is by far an external drive like a flash drive. Used to be known as "sneakernet."

Alternates would be a NAS, setting up a Wimdows Homegroup, or a direct crossover cable.
