Travis Pastrana and a bunch of his punk friends jumping bikes over stuff, with bonus footage of rally driver Ken Block wasting expensive rubber. Sweet!
Kyosho Silvia Mini-Z RC Car ($140)This is the complete deal for my RC car upgrade. The Mini-Z line is much more detailed and precise than my xmods car and would upgrade everything bumper-to-bumper, saving me the time and expense of doing it one part at a time. Plus the Silvia R-Tune body is sweet!
Concrete Cuff Links ($98)Stylish yet rugged. Hopefully not as heavy as they sound.
Shredding Scissors ($9)I love office supplies, and I love shredding personal documents before I recycle them, so combine those two strange fetishes into a thoughtful, practical and cheap gift! Eureka!
English walnut biscuits ($11)these are the best cookies! buy a tin for yourself as long as you're ordering... trust me.
Vintage Record Snack Bowls ($28)You can choose your genre - I think i'd definitely have to go with jazz... more appropriate for those classy dinner parties with all my hipster friends!
Beanie with speakers! ($28)So much easier and more comfortable than cramming headphones underneath a hat! Perfect for skiing... or the freezer section at the grocery store!
Gear Shift Desk Organizer ($23)A place to keep sharp objects where they're easily within reach. It would really shift my desk organization into high gear... yeah, I went there.
Engine Christmas Ornamets ($15)Help me decorate next year's Christmas tree in motorhead style.
Marble Ski Resort Coasters ($40)Perfect for my winter lodge, or just the coffee table. Western US or Euro ones are my favs.
Norpro perfect egg timer ($5)I would be sooo popular at Easter next year with this! Also, think of all the develed eggs i could make. This is exactly the kind of weird gadget that would be at home in my kitchen.
Rubiks Cube Clock ($25)Yes, you twist the blocks to set/activate the alarm, view the time or date, or snooze. How brilliantly-clever is that?
Craftsman Impact Driver ($25)Perfect for unsticking those stuck screws, and more accurate than my usual method (hammer).
Z?úCA Pro wheeled suitcase ($285)The ultimate road warrior suitcase! Special pockets for electronics and bathroom stuff, designed for airport overhead bins and security lines, strong enough to sit on yet light enough to carry. High tech and designed to take the abuse of a busy travel schedule.
Apple Airport Express ($99)Create a portable wireless network, listen to music thru my stereo, share a printer - tons of neat tricks. One of those laptop-bag items that solves multiple problems in one slick, white box. Available at the Apple Store, but google around, as they can be cheaper elsewhere.
Flat-folding Titanium cufflinks ($79)I honestly wear french-cuff shirts all the time, so these would get a lot of use. Folds flat for easy travel! Classy meets techie!
TomTom GPS bike handlebars mount ($31)For mounting my TomTom GPS Nav onto the handlebars of my bike, to help keep me from getting lost (or help me find the closest Starbucks).
Warren Miller - Journey Through the Decades ($54)I love ski movies - they always inspire me to strap on boards and get out there - and Warren Miller movies are some of the best. This sweet box set includes a sample of WM flicks from as far back as 1978, a marathon of which is how I'd love to start my next ski season.
The really hot items I've pointed out on their own, but there's still lots of good stuff in here, especially smaller, easily-shipped items like books, movies, CDs, and they even gift wrap! This list can be large and unweildly as I'm constantly adding to it, but it's nothing if not diverse!
White Balance Lens Cap ($45)How genius is this? Perfect white balance every time, integrated into something I have to carry with the camera anyway.
