Hrecommended: The 2004 H-list*

Some suggested holiday gifts for friends and family:

• Candela lamps -- cat-safe mood lighting, illuminate your jack 0' lantern, stick 'em in the window during the holidays, great for power failures
• Swiss Army Knives (my current favorite is the Swiss Memory which includes a removable USB memory stick)
• Buff headgear -- I have a microfiber model and a polar buff which has a couple inches of fleece on it.
• Readymade magazine subscription
• Peace Buttons -- great stocking stuffer
• Canon Elph Digital Cameras -- small size and great pictures
• Sketchbooks and Journals -- sometimes a gluestick, scissors and a fistful of pencils works better than ColdFusion
• Journal to the Self by Kathleen Adams -- what to do with those blank pages
• Getting Things Done by David Allen
• Great Arrow Greeting Cards -- silkscreened and stunning
• LED flashlights -- the Streamlight Jr. uses the new 1 watt Luxeon LEDs
