I Love Battlestar Galactica!

If you're shopping for someone else who does, consider the complete DVD collection:


I've listed Battlestar Galactica as one of my Top Ten Favorite TV Series on DVD. See my Squidoo lens, here.

Mad Men Barbie Dolls

This are fantastic. I mean -- the dolls are sooooo 60's anyway; why not make them into Mad Men Characters?
Love these!

Betty, Don, Joan and Roger -- see them all on my Squidoo lens, Mad Men Dolls from the Barbie Collection.

Beautiful, isn't it? More 2011 Wolf Calendars on my Squidoo lens.

The Fushigi Ball

So what do you think about this thing? I think it's fun to watch, but I don't think that I'd personally ever have the patience to master the skill. I built a Squidoo lens about it. Check it out and tell me what you think. (Oh, and it's got several great videos on it.)




For my part, I think I'll settle for watching the juggling scene in Labyrinth again.

So What's Your Favorite Movie?

The Holiday Season is a great time to give the gift of film to someone on your Christmas list. Why not share a favorite, or get one for your own film library? Check out my new Squidoo lens, My All-Time Favorite Movies.

(Hint: This is one of them.)




Pictured: The Big Lebowski, available on Amazon.com.

Laurel Burch Cat Jewelry

I just adore Laurel Burch cat designs, and her jewelry is just exquisite. Here's one of my favorites:

The Indigo Cat Silver Pin, available on Amazon.

I've found a whole bunch more beautiful Laurel Burch stuff and featured it on Cat Designs by Laurel Burch -- check it out!

Unicorn Gifts

Most kids love unicorns -- and some of us still do. If you're shopping for someone who fits into one of those categories, you might enjoy my Squidoo lens, Unicorn Gifts for Kids.

This puzzle would be a terrific gift for an older child, or one who's had some experience with puzzles. (It has 1,000 pieces.) Pictured: 1,000 piece Glimpse of a Unicorn Puzzle from Amazon.

Gifts for Cat Lovers

I love this cameo -- agate with 14k gold. Isn't it beautiful? It would make a terrific gift for a cat lover -- or maybe you just want one for yourself.


See lots more gifts for cat lovers on my Squidoo lens, Gifts for People Who Love Cats.

Gifts for Kids Who Love Science

What science-loving kid doesn't want his (or her) own telescope? This model the Celestron 21024 FirstScope Telescope, is great for a beginner -- and got great reviews at Amazon.


Art Gifts for Kids

This is the Melissa and Doug Standing Easel from Amazon. It has a chalkboard on one side, a dry erase board on the other, and holds a roll of butcher paper in between (which can be pulled down over either side.) Amazon Customers have given it a 4.5 rating (out of a possible 5.)

More art gifts for the kiddies on Gifts for Kids Who Love Art.

How about a Dart Board?

This model is official tournament bristle dartboard of the British Darts Organization. It also has very good reviews on Amazon -- 4.9 out of 5 stars. You can read all 49 customer reviews here.

I love these cozy little slippers. Like these:

How About Some Music?

How about an MP3 player, all pre-loaded with Christmas cheer for your little one?  Did you know that Amazon has tons of free and legal MP3 downloads you can get?



Pictured: The Spongebob Squarepants Digital Player from Amazon. It's featured on my Squidoo lens, Gifts for Kids Who Love Music.

Breyer Horses

I was nuts about horses when I was a kid -- didn't have any, but I loved to read and fantasize about them. (Well, and there were a couple of horses nearby, that I could go and visit.)

Breyer horses have been around at least 60 years, so I'm kind of surprised that I never got any. I would have absolutely loved them! They're so incredibly beautiful.



Pictured is the Breyer Arabian Best in Show available from Amazon. It's one of the items on my Squidoo lens, Gifts for Kids Who Love Horses.
