If you order by end of day today you can STILL get stuff from Amazon by Dec. 24. Here's a super quick and thrown together list off the top of my head of some things that I would get if I had waited til the last minute like a sucker. Of course, all my gifts are wrapped and under the tree already. Oh wait that's a lie.


MISCELLANEOUS- two things for the cool and discerning

• Pop Lomography Camera, $30  Buy it now

• Kenneth Cole Reaction Watch for men, $83  Buy it now

BOOKS - three diverse titles to cover the spread

• I Am America (And So Can You) by Stephen Colbert- I would actually go for the audio version of this, narrated by Colbert, Jon Stewart, and their cadre of funny people. Buy it now
  

• The Daring Book for Girls by Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz- I got this for my 9-year-old niece, but I kind of want to keep it for myself. Buy it now
  

• Roast Chicken and Other Stories by Simon Hopkinson- This book is on my list. It's been out in the UK for about 10 years but is just now being released in the U.S. It's billed to be a simple, down-to-earth cookbook by a guy with a great attitude towards food. Buy it now

MUSIC - I offer three lovely ladies to make your season bright

• Feist, The Reminder- I can't imagine a person not liking this album. Buy it now
  

• Pizzicato Five, Made in USA- this is the original, and the best, but all of P5's albums are interesting joyrides through crazytown, in a good way. Buy it now

• Cibo Matto, Stereo Type A- this is not a new CD but it is amazing, dancey, Japanese technopop and some other words I could make up right now. Buy it now
