Looking for Xmas Gifts?

I already handed in my Amazon booklist for Christmas but check out ThinkGeek for some pretty unique novelty gifts for those techies in your family! I'm partial to the gadgets section, sort of feels like shopping with "M" from 007 movie fame. Don't we all need a swiss army knife complete with a USB memory card and LED light? My personal favorite is the Swedish Firesteel - a survival tool for starting fires(which I already have from a stocking stuffer present from my Dad a few years ago)! Or how about a glow-in-the-dark flying frizbee disk?

Okay - none of the above are really must have gifts and quite honestly we probably should spend those extra shekels on gifts or food for the less fortunate. In fact, if I wasn't a father of two girls we probably wouldn't be into the gift thing much at all. I sometimes wonder if we are so caught up in consumerism that we really take advantage of the holiday week and just spend time with family!
