Creativity is King

Since my travel plans have been hosed by the blizzard outside, I have decided to form a list to carry around just in case anyone asks me what I want for the Holidays this year. In doing so, I figured I would do my best to help out anyone else who has a difficult time coming up with things they don’t really need.
Because this doubles as a buyer’s guide and MY personal list, I don’t know a great deal about all of the items featured on this list. In other words, these are not product reviews and my suggestions could turn out to be complete pieces of shit. My gift guide will not feature any too many obscure items and will not contain any absurdly expensive ideas. Lettuce begin.

Magic Mouse (69) : If it’s got ‘magic’ in the product name, it has to be good. The world’s first Bluetooth-enabled multi-touch mouse will be on my desk soon.

Motorola Droid for Verizon (199+) : Time made their list of Gadgets of the Year and it looks like the Droid came out on top. If you’re like me and have an existing contract with Verizon, expect to pay an amusing amount to get your hands on one of these.

Air Jordan Jordan XI Space Jam (175) : Perhaps the most anticipated Jordan release in years is conveniently going to be released on the 23rd of December. If the sneakers make your list you may want to include a side-note explaining that said buyer should plan on arriving to the shoe store early and can expect a line.

Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp (40) : There were at least 3 times last year when I thought , “man, I really wish I had a headlamp right now.” Never again.

Cookin’ with Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price (16) : I don’t expect this to be as helpful as it is entertaining. Coolio continues to live in a gangster’s paradise by writing cookbooks, containing his self-described “ghetto gourmet” dishes.

nook (259) : If you like to read, the nook is supposed to be the shit. “The world’s most advanced ebook reader.” Sold!

Stormy Kromer Hat (30) : “George “Stormy” Kromer was a semi-pro ballplayer and railroad engineer who always lost his hat to the gusts that blew through his locomotive. So he asked his wife, Ida, to put needle and thread to one of his old baseball caps. The “Kromer” they created in 1903 is now legendary for its comfort, warmth, durability… and grip when the wind blows.” I just copied that from the patch inside my hat. You should get one.

Netflix Account (9 a month) : Unlimited DVD rentals and movies streaming instantly to your computer and TV. Best gift ever.

Andis Outliner II Trimmer (72) : You can’t always make it to the barbershop. I haven’t been in 5 years now.

Suck UK Smoking Mittens (25) : Remember kids smoking is not big or clever and it WILL kill you, but if you want to die you may as well die with warm hands!

JGoods Sneaker Restoration Kit (35) : Because I couldn’t let you escape without a shameless ploy for the hottest selling gift sure to make anyone’s holiday season one they won’t soon forget.

There you have it. My Holiday… fuck its difficult not to use ‘Christmas’. This is my Christmas list/Holiday Gift Guide, take it or leave it.
