Starbucks has wreaths up, so it must be that time...

To my loyal readers, let me begin by apologizing for falling off the radar recently... in the future, I promise to blog with increased regularity. Despite my lack of recent inspiration, I have seen a number of interesting gift ideas for Christmas (or other winter holidays).

NOTE: If you frequently check my shared links on the left hand column of this blog, some of these items will be repeats of what you have already seen, but this format provides you with my commentary.

Possible Christmas presents:

• If the outside of your fridge has a ferrous material and you are not very good at magnetic poetry this cool toy might be worth checking out, for kids and adults alike. Reminds me of the San Jose Tech Museum or something...
• If you (or a special female) are environmentally conscious and do not like to using plastic or paper bags this could come in handy. For those times when you forget your Trader Joes's canvas carrier, just whip off that bra (it is not that scandalous, every girl knows how to do it without taking off their shirt, they must teach it in like 5th grade or something) and turn it into a handy sack. It's your bag, baby!
  
• NASCAR, who doesn't love it??? Well, now you can "get your heart racing" with this excellent gift for the romantic race rouser, or perhaps the rousing romantic racer... I don't know.
  
  
• For the friend who has everything, get them nothing. Empty box gag gifts from the king of fake printed news, The Onion, include such classics as, a Salt of the Month Club membership, a make your own umbrella kit, and a USB toaster. The USB toaster may be fake, but the USB cup warmer is real.
  
• If your friend has purchased a iPod Video for her car, an iPod nano for the office, and a iPod shuffle for working out, and she still can't get enough of Sexy Back, check out Tooth Tunes, the MP3 playing toothbrush that plays music through your bones... look ma, no speakers!
  
• For the special geek in your life, check out these nerdy gifts...
  
  
  
• If death and dudes are your thing, check out the Men of Mortuaries 2007 Calendar.
  
• My father insists they are printing newspapers in a smaller font nowadays... if this kind of denial is found in your home as well, perhaps you should pick up a super-sized television remote.
