Wine's always a good choiceComputer Accessories–
new and a must for every computer user on your list. Got mine a couple of days ago and loving it. It’s FreeAgent Go portable drive from Seagate--a moveable feast of all of your data –easily and conveniently transported where ever you go. I’ve been using several flash drives to store docs, photos and important stuff. But now 500 GB provides a one-stop storage for everything, and I can take it with me and plug it into any other PC or laptop. FreeAgent comes in four cool colors (I love the ruby red) and sells for about $179 but I’ve seen a few deals when searching on the web or at http://www.seagate.com/. They also make FreeAgents for MACs. It’s just one of the best presents you can give.
And more digital doos…One of the best perks of my annual Christmas gift guide is testing new products. And only putting those that pass muster on the site. Well, have I got a gift idea for just about anyone on your shopping list.
It’s the sparkling new Vivitar ViviCam T328 12.1 mega pixel HD Vivicam–
a camcorder and digital camera in one. I wish it had one last month when I went to a family reunion armed with both a camcorder and camera, would have saved a lot of space in my carry on.
Anyhow I’ve been shooting with the Vivitar T328 and the videos and photos are clear and professional-looking. I like the large 2.4 ” viewing screen, the 8X digital zoom and the ease of use. A child can operate it. Best of all the suggested retail is just $120, a real bargain for what’s packed into one compact case. You do have to go out and buy an SD card though, I was disappointed to discover this, but used one from my other camera and it worked fine. http://www.vivatar.com/

Light up their life with the Guiding Light --
a novel new gadget by Sharpe Products, Inc., that fits over traditional-style mail boxes for night time visibility. Like all the products you see on Pattisprattles.wordpress.com, I personally tested this one and I love it. However because our mailbox is square shaped it doesn't fit on top. But we cleverly placed the light outside our front gate and it works perfect to brightly display our street address and provide added protection from intruders. The solar-powered light really glows in the dark. For a limited time the company is providing shipping and handling with each order. At $79.95, it's perfect for anyone on your list who owns a home or a street side mailbox. Go to http://www.guidingmailbox.com/

Stocking Stuffers–Every year I arm you with ideas for stuffing those stockings hung by the chimney. So my first recommendation is something nearly everybody can use: Batteries–but not any battery, FujiMax Environ Digital Alkalais–I just loaded two into my digital camera, they’re supposed to work better and last longer and really make great gifts.
FAQs: no poisonous cadmium, lithium, or mercury. Packaged with recycled paper and fully recyclable PET plastic. Harmlessly disposed of through normal waste systems. No ingredients harmful to the environment as they degrade -are landfill safe -equal or exceed performance/longevity of major equivalent brands-offer outstanding performance at affordable cost. Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are made in some of the world’s more eco-respectful battery plants, operating under ISO 14001 environmental certification—some of the strictest standards of environmental responsibility. http://www.grennfuji.com/
