“Jungle Bell Rock” – wasn’t that the Kool & The Gang song from Pulp Fiction?

I typically default to gift cards when I’m shopping for someone picky and/or well-accoutred. I’m buying several iTunes cards, plus for the one person I know who still burns CD’s an extremely cool orange patent leather CD sleeve. I also purchased a Peet’s coffee sampler for a coffee snob friend (I fall squarely in that category myself). I got it when I was out in California but I think you could order online. If not, Illy is always a great choice.

Oooh, TheUpstart, great idea for a thread. I’ll start, found this today and ordered it for a good friend who has everything. Nerd alert (that would be moi)!

A jigsaw puzzle of the front page of the NY Times for any date.

Like I said, nerdy, but also kinda cool if a date is important to someone.

How come the town tree never completely lights up?

Any interest in a cool gifts “thread”? I definitely have some gifts to buy for people who have everything and I’d love to see what other people have on their shopping lists to get ideas.

Okay, I was going to let the misspelling of errands go, but Jungle Bell Rock would be a very different sort of Christmas song…

Normally I am absolutely against anything Christmas-y before turkey day, but I was totally in the holiday spirit today while running earrands on the mall… italian hot cocoa in hand from Splendora’s and “Jungle Bell Rock” blasting from the boombox near the tree volunteers were decorating by The Paramount… what can I say, I’m corny.
