These are a few of my favorite things….

Currently, this Flip Camcorder is my toy of the moment. Considering how convenient and easy it is to use, this will be around for a lot longer than ‘a moment’. For under $150, it makes a great gift (for you OR someone else).

Thinking about getting lost? You can’t with this Garmin nüvi 750 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator. With maps of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, this GPS will get you there and back home again. In addition to helping you get around, this model is your own personal travel assistant. With easy to use touch screen menus, features include traffic alerts, bluetooth connectivity for your cell phone (to answer a call, tap the screen and speak through the built-in mic). This unit even has an FM transmitter to send your directions and calls directly through your FM radio. Not quite the GPS you’re looking for? Here’s a list of the BEST GPS UNITS of 2007!

As a cool gadget junkie, I love this personal media viewer. Slip on the Myvu Personal Media Viewer you would a pair of sunglasses, and instead of sunglass lenses, you have in front of you your own personal movie screen. Plug it into your Ipod, computer, dvd player, etc. and watch movies and tv shows without disturbing anyone around you. Includes attached stereo headphones. GREAT for plane travel, train commuting, etc.

Gift Idea Mom is always looking for alternate way of exercising. Nothing is more unpleasant than the same workout routine day after day. One of my favorite ways to exercise is to pop Dance Dance Revolution into my Playstation ( great forXbox, etc as well) and dance to my heart’s content. A great way to burn calories and get moving.

The Daring Book for Girls and the The Dangerous Book for Boys are two books that are wonderful gifts for children of all ages (and that includes you adults too). Learn how to build a tree fort, palm read, make a paper airplane, tie a knot, execute the perfect cartwheel, decipher morse code. These books are great fun, useful and a resource that will be turned to again and again for years to come. BTW, for the fun of it, they’ve also come out with The Dangerous Book for Dogs, with tips ranging from silly (crotch sniffing aka How To Make Your Owner Look Like An Idiot) to the more practical (baths, fleas, bones, poop, “things you can chase”).

Stay tuned! More to come….
