The Top 10 Christmas Gifts of 2009

1. Flip Ultra HD Camcorder $150-$250
In a multimedia world of vloggers and bloggers, this handheld camcorder is trendy and small enough to carry in your pocket. It's lightweight and fun to play with, even coming with your own way of designing the front of an original Flip. Try filming something on it for your recipient so they have something fun to watch after opening it.



2. WeSC Golden Violet Headphones $55-$150
These are prefect for music lovers and when you want something that speaks louder than mini headphones. They have square and circle earpieces and are adjustable to the size of your head. With a gold-plated plug, it and sounds better than what your standard Apple earplugs provide.

3. Chooka Buffalo Rain boots $60

It's important to be prepared for the rain in Southern California, even if it is only an inch of rainfall. Chooka Buffalo rain boots come in a lot of different styles (try boots with coy fish, or Hello Kitty ones) and are extremely comfortable. If you're strapped for cash though, you can find similar non-name brand ones at Target that won't look much different.

4. Snuggie $20


No one's too cool for a Snuggie. These beauties come in an array of three colors and will keep you warmer than a normal blanket. They're currently selling as a two-for-one deal (perfect for couples) and are even quoted as being "perfect for night time pub crawls." They also come in leopard print--and, yes, even mini Snuggies for your dog.

5. The Droid $200


With rave reviews from recent purchasers who stood in line for hours, this is the latest phone to show off. With applications that easily beat out the iPhone (like star gazing that literally names the stars above your head), the only bad part is the weight and density.

6. Juicy Couture Faux Fur Earmuffs $55

Just because you're cold doesn't mean you still can't be fashionable. Give this gift to the diva in your life to keep her little ears warm and to help her stand out. They come in three colors with a wool band.

6. Magno Radio


With an MP3 jack and AM/FM dial, this radio is something that looks like it crawled out of Where the Wild Things Are. It's made out of real wood (for each tree used for the radio, one was replanted) and was designed by Singgih Kartono.

3. DJ Hero $100


You might have seen Eminem and Jay Z in the commerical for the new DJ Hero, but the brother of Guitar Hero allows more than just those artist since it allows you to play on a turntable to over 100 songs. You can customize your own songs and do more than Guitar Hero ever offered. If you don't have much experience spinning, this might be out of your league.

7. Tom's Shoes $44

Perhaps the most charitable shoe in the world, Tom's is expanding faster than ever with their product. They offer dozens of fabrics, patterns and colors for any age. Although there's a variety of pairs, they all look extremely similar and you might be getting bored with the style, but they're still pretty reasonable at only about $44.

10. Toddland Moustache Comb $18

Perfect for the special man in your life. Nothing says love better than good hygiene. This is a great stocking stuffer or gift to pair with a mustache wallet, also made by Toddland. Avoid giving it as a joke to a woman you may know.
