Dear Santa,

Okay, no hate mail please, I know it’s not even October yet. But listen, how many of you leave your Christmas shopping until the last week, or even day? Exactly. So in the run up to the jolly holiday season I’ll be occasionally posting links to cool/geeky (same thing) gifts in the hope of averting the Christmas Eve rush to The Gap (or if you’re my brother, The Dollar Store) and all the associated stress that brings you. And your significant other…

Go on, FreshBooks helps you get your business organized, let us help you organize your shopping too! And why not get yourself a little something while you’re at it.

Here’s list #1:

• Astronaut suits – the latest fashion for kids and adults. And if you’re thinking, “That’ll never catch on…“

• Space invaders wall decals. Nostalgic for the real thing?

• Fun for the shower (no, not that kind of fun, mind in the gutter). It says out of stock, but yesterday Matt W. of customer service assured me that a new shipment is expected within 1-2 weeks.

• Don’t get me started on frames that prevent linking to specific pages, but this site has some cool stuff. Go to “Kids, Dogs, Fun” for viewmasters with sharks & dinosaurs, “Sensuous Home” for a retro poker set under, and “Office, Tech” for fat buddhas that hold your letters.

All items will be added to my Paruba list for easy reference. Happy shopping!
