Christmas Gadget Gift Giving Guide

Here are six recommended gift suggestions ranging in price from free to $350 to help you choose something special for someone special.

I personally own and recommend all six items.

Delight the special someone in your life by placing one of these items under the tree this Christmas.

(This is the 2003 Gift Giving Guide. Most products are still current and relevant, and the 2004 Christmas Gadget Gift Giving Guide is here.)

Looking for the ideal gift for the person in your life that already 'has everything'? Or maybe looking for ideas for yourself?

Chances are that at least one of the suggestions on this list will become an appreciated gift.

And, please excuse us our unashamed political incorrectness when we sincerely wish you Merry Christmas, and very best wishes for the New Year. :)
