Loud Alarm Clock With Flashing Lights

This alarm clock is one of the best alarm clocks for the deaf. A recent reviewer on Amazon said, "I've had profound hearing loss since the age of 2.

A wonderful gift for anyone with hearing loss or someone who has difficulty waking in the morning. Item includes a vibrator to fit between the mattress and springs. When the alarm goes off, the vibrator shakes the bed and the lights begin to flash. It's hard to ignore this alarm clock.

Golfers everywhere are wearing the Power Balance Silicone Wristband.   Just today a friend on the golf course told me that when he is wearing the band, he can lean over and touch his toes -- which he cannot do when not wearing the band.   He said his wife can actually bend over and put her palms on the floor -- and both these folks are over 50 years of age.  This is performance technology that seems to work for everybody.  And it makes such a nice gift for anyone on your list, especially those who exercise or participate in sports.  (And it is always nice to find a super gift for someone who seems to have everything!)

Wizard of Oz T-Shirts

What an exciting discovery I had this week when I discovered that they are remaking The Wizard of Oz movie in 3D! I am not actually sure that I am in love with the idea because we all know what Hollywood can do to a good movie but I guess I am willing to give it a chance.

My reading about the rumors surrounding this new movie led me to another great find...a selection of Wizard of Oz t-shirts. If you love the original movie as much as I, or if someone you love loves the movie as much as I, a Wizard-themed tee would be a great gift idea.

Personally, I have a birthday coming up. I am not saying which birthday but I am willing to say that when I grew up one of the highlights of our year once a year, every year, was to watch The Wizard of Oz movie when it came on television. Anyway, I think one of these t-shirts would be a top-rated gift choice for any woman who has a history with The Wiz, as I do, or even for any new fan of The Wizard of Oz.

Can you think of someone else who would love one of these fabulous t-shirts? I can...

The Beautiful Rihanna Umbrella Official

Where I live in Canada I generally do NOT need an umbrella at Christmastime. There are exceptions though like this particularly balmy season we have had so far. Yesterday I used my umbrella to go to the post office!

In any case, I would still love to find one of these beautiful Rihanna umbrella's under my Christmas tree. Even if I could not use it right away, I know there would be lots of opportunities ahead.

I was thrilled to see that Rihanna's official umbrella is a Totes Umbrella. Totes is the manufacturer of quality umbrellas so if you choose one of Rihanna's umbrellas not only are you getting a beautiful umbrella you will also be getting a practical, durable one.

Perfect for any lady, younger or older, on your Christmas shopping list!

Thomas Kinkade Music for Christmas

Thomas Kinkade fans will love Home for the Holidays and Christmas Memories, both of which are attractively packaged in a collector's tin.

S. Bauer, an Amazon customer, says that these CDs contain a "Nice traditional balance between vocal and instrumental Christmas songs." She received one of these sets at a Christmas party and was nicely surprised with the relaxing mix of Christmas music. Her final words were, "Love it!"

Pick up one of these beautiful sets for the Kinkade fan on your Christmas gift-giving list. Home for the Holidays is still available through Amazon but Christmas Memories has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is therefore only available through private sellers on Amazon. Alternatively, I currently have both sets bundled together in my eBay store at a price below the combined individual cost of these two items from Amazon.

Don't let them get away!
