Description

Give and get what you REALLY want this Christmas by creating individual gift lists for your kids and yourself that you can email to friends and family. Or search for THEIR lists by entering their email addresses.

Lists are updated as people purchase items and the giver doesn't have to dig around for your address- you've already entered all the details.

Plus, these keep yourself uber organized. One-Click Shopping allows you to buy and send (for free with two-day shipping if you are a Prime member or availing of the one month free trial for that service) all Amazon items to people you've entered into your online address book or simply save the items in specifically categorized lists for later.

The new Universal Wish List feature even allows you to add items that are on external sites to a Wish List.

Handy dandy.

Twisted Christmas: Twisted Sister

First to recommend

Description

This doesn't suck.

In fact, it is, amazingly good if "good" is defined as a very different take on traditional carols. I bought it last year on a whim and was surprised to find I loved it.

So shake things up a bit this year and alternate some metal with the traditional.

Love the camera idea!

from seejanework:

Designed to help you keep your cool and gather your wits when you’ve been involved in a car accident, the Collision Kit includes a flash camera, a pen, and a clipboard with pre-printed forms to remind you to get all the details, including information from the other driver(s) and witnesses. An envelope for your insurance card and registration keeps your documents at hand even when your hands are shaking.

Zipped up and glove-compartment sized, the Collision Kit is there when you need it, and we truly hope that you never do.

Password.Log

First to recommend

Description

from seejanework.com:

Writing your password down and sticking it to your computer monitor sort of defeats the purpose of a password.

Keep usernames, passwords, account numbers, and more in a place where you can find them (but the temp who uses your desk after hours can't), with the Password.log from Buttoned Up.

Sized to fit in your handbag or desk drawer (one that locks) the Password.log has plenty of space for all your personal and professional log-in info.

50 pages.

Measures 3.5"h x 7"w x .25”d

Description

Maybe your New Year's resolution is to finally organize your family photos...
Perhaps you want to find a hostess gift that is useful for once....
Do your kids have a digital camera? Would you like to encourage creativity?
Are you tired of the time and money you spend printing and sending out holiday photos or post-party pictures to attendees?
Did you forget to buy a present and need something ASAP?

flickr.

Whether you utilize the ample storage of a free account or purchase a $25 Pro Upgrade as a present for yourself or someone you know, this is one of the best sites online for organizing, sharing, printing and customizing gifts that utilize your digital images.

So instead of printing and mailing all of the Christmas Eve pictures to Aunt Edna, email her your online gallery address and let her pick the sizes she wants.

And be sure to check out the online groups on flickr. You can explore the world and your personal interests from your own desk.

Consider buying a Pro Account for your teenager or husband and using the print-out as a fabulous stocking stuffer. Or wrapping it in a lovely ribbon and presenting it to the hostess of a holiday party you attended. She'll be thrilled to have such an easy way to share the pictures from that night- and other attendees can upload their for her as well.

It's a great thing, flickr. Really great. (via Click Here to Buy Flickr Pro as a Gift)

Christmas with the Smithereens

First to recommend

Description

from Amazon:

Although it initially seems like another stopgap release to allow the Smithereens time to write a dozen new songs (especially since the band's last album was a track-by-track replication of Meet the Beatles), this Christmas set of predominantly covers, is a rousingly successful project that hopefully won't be dusted off just one month a year. Lead singer Pat DiNizio wraps his husky voice around a smartly selected collection of classic seasonal rockers such as "Run Rudolph Run" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," along with more obscure fare. It's the latter that makes this such a delight, as the band tears into rugged re-workings of the Ramones' "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)," the Who's crunchy "Christmas" (from Tommy) and even a rare Beatles track grabbed from the Liverpool band's '60s fan club only discs. Brian Wilson's "Merry Christmas, Baby" receives an appropriately sunshiny Beach Boys work-out and even the creaky "Auld Lang Syne" hops on a surfboard for arguably the rocking-est version of the clichéd sing-along ever. Three originals sound like typically rugged Smithereens songs that just happen to have Christmas lyrics. They offer further proof that this isn't just a dashed-off batch of wintery fare to keep the band's name active until an official new album. Rather, it deserves consideration as one of the finest entries in the Smithereens' already impressive catalog. --Hal Horowitz

Joy - A Holiday Collection: Jewel

First to recommend

Description

** You can get this Overnighted for $3.99 or Two-Day Shipped (free) with Amazon Prime**

from Amazon:

Jewel has concocted an intriguing and at times beautifully inspired holiday album, playing it straight with a big orchestra and backing voices for the first half of the record with standards such as "Joy to the World," "Winter Wonderland," "Silent Night," as well as a lovely rendition of "Ave Maria." Things finally get sparkling in the last half where Jewel does a low-key, kid version of "Rudolph" and sings her own compositions. Her moving "Face of Love" and "Hands" are certain to become holiday standards, capable of being sung in a country, pop, gospel, or R&B vein and deserving of an audience as wide as the nation itself. The record's centerpiece, however, seems to be a six-minute-plus medley that mixes "Go Tell It on the Mountain" with the recent hit "From a Distance" and her own "Life Uncommon." Nonetheless, her stunning adaptation of "Gloria" inspired, in part, by Bach's B-Minor Mass, two tracks later is as powerful and lovely a Christmas vocal performance as you will find anywhere. Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin, Joy is destined to become a holiday classic.
