I have two weaknesses: gadgets and bags. Well, now that I think about it, I have more weaknesses (paper goods, cooking tools, books, music ,et cetera), but I only have lists for these 2 at the moment.

Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
3 people recommended this item
Description
Well, I really liked the look of the PowerShot G9, but couldn't REALLY justify it because my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 was just so similar. But then this came out. The Canon PowerShot G10. And now I have a reason to get a new camera.
The review at DP Review is quite positive: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong10/.
Hello, Christmas!
Of course, there's also the Nikon Coolpix P6000 to consider...

Etymotic HF2 Earphones (iPhone)

Description
I own a pair of Etymotic ER-4Ps as my regular everyday headphones and I love love love them. When I listen to music on my iPhone, I hate having to pull out my earphones to answer the phone.
I've been reading about these earphones for a while. A favorite of many reviewers and sites like iLounge and CNET, the sound is supposed to be excellent, offering great sound wuality and noise isolation. Since they are based on my favorite ER-4Ps but with an added microphone that hangs right next to your mouth, I figured these would be the perfect solution. There is a little button on the microphone. It does a couple of different things.
When you're listening to music...
1 click = music pauses
2 clicks = skip to next track
3 clicks = go back to previous track
Nice and easy.
I love how the earphones mute the music, pausing automatically, for an incoming call, picking up again when the call ends.
Plus, who doesn't love that ruby color? (These also come in black if you don't love the ruby color!)
These earphones are also compatible with other phone brands and other MP3 players.

I love the concept, but have no idea how it actually works. It retails for $199, which puts it a bit above the impulse buy category, but it sure does tempt me. More if I ever break down and buy it.

Etymotic ER-4P Portable Earphones
3 people recommended this item
Description
These headphones seem to be universally loved by reviewers and purchasers alike.
The main reason why I did not buy these a while back was because I had heard that the cables amplified cord noise whenever you moved. Annoying.
Sometime during the past 2 years Etymotic made some key changes to the design of the ER-4P's, including switching to twisted cables that eliminate the microphonic effect.
Plus, although the retail price is $299, you can actually buy these for less than $200 online.
Sold!
I still love my Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pro earphones, but not as much as my new Etymotic ER-4Ps!

BMW 335i Coupe

Description
I do so love my new car!
I recently upgraded to the new 2007 BMWi from the still amazing Cadillac CTS-V (see my other recommendations for info on my old car). The understated elegance of this car just blows my mind. Even with the insanely zippy 6-speed manual transmission twin-turbo engine (0-60 in 4.8 seconds), this BMW gets better fuel economy than you would ever imagine.
My car looks just like the one in the photo- Alpine white exterior with a rich warm brown leather interior. With Sirius radio included, an iPod auxiliary input, heated seats (a bit ridiculous in Los Angeles, but I'm a girl and I do get cold often- that's my justification), and Bluetooth... this car has everything I need to make sitting in Los Angeles traffic bearable.
Did I mention that there's no charge for service?

Ooooh. Must find out more about this. Like what I've read so far in the review at DP review:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082005canong9.asp
Of course, I don't NEED a new camera. I absolutely love my Panasonic DMC-LX2, but it never hurts to just look.

Red Monkey Designs :: GT Armada Watch
First to recommend
Description
My favorite "casual" watch and my second Red Monkey Designs watch!
I can't remember how I first heard about them, but I'm in love with pretty much everything they do. They do leather and they do it darned well. From guitar straps to belts to camera straps to watches and cuffs, Red Monkey's items are all handmade in the USA, Los Angeles to be precise.
Their items are in much demand. Famous clients include actors such as Brad Pitt, Matthew Fox, Jack Black, Johnny Knoxville, Jennifer Aniston, Evangeline Lilly, Reese Witherspoon, Mandy Moore, and musicians such as Beck, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Sheryl Crow, Metallica, U2, the Dixie Chicks.
Great style, fantastic workmanship. There are several watch faces to choose from and there is a vast array of colors and styles for the band. They'll take custom orders as well and can fit your watch face to one of their bands.
The Armada band measures 2" wide and is made of perforated and studded leather. It has a thick, adjustable nickel buckle closure. This watch face is the GT and features a red/black/white dial with day/date feature, and quartz movement. It is water resistant.
I had to have the band custom made because my wrist is smaller that what the standard band fits (for this band it's 6.5" - 7.5"). The ladies watch bands are smaller sized, but I really wanted this combination. I paid retail price instead of a sale price, but it was worth it to have a band that fits my wrist perfectly and is exactly what I wanted.
Buying online is always tres fantastic, but if you get a chance, pay a visit to their shop in Los Angeles.

Triumph Bonneville Black Motorcycle

My bike. I do love it so. I did make a few minor mods. I couldn't resist! Such a classic bike. Absolutely perfect (to me)! I'm a female rider and looked at a heckuva lot of bikes before settling on this one.
I got it from South Bay Triumph, and could not be happier. Couldn't ask for a better, more knowledgeable team.

Etymotic :: ety8 Bluetooth Wireless Earphones
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
Love the idea of bluetooth earphones. Love it! These are supposed to be super light, weighing less than a half ounce. One earphone contains a battery and the other contains the circuit, antenna, and controls. They provide 35 dB to 40 dB noise isolation, which is more than twice as effective as over-the-ear headphones with electronic noise canceling circuitry, and is the same as Etymotic's other earphones.
They support A2DP and AVRCP profiles and Bluetooth 2.0, and they can be paired with Bluetooth stereo enabled computers and mobile phones that have these profiles. It also minimizes power consumption, which is always good. The battery reportedly lasts 7 - 10 hours.
At $299.99 retail including the iPod adapter (currently $249.99 at Amazon), I'm not going to buy them just yet, but these are certainly going on my wish list!
There's a good review here at CNET:
