My Top 10 Gift Ideas

This entry is a special one for the majority of my blog readers — Shel, Mom/Dad — as we get ready for the Christmas gift giving season. Or if you happened to stumble upon me, this list may give you some ideas for that special mac/music/sports enthusiast in your life.

So here it is, my top 10 gifts this Christmas…

Tech Stuff:

Geneva Sound Systems – Click here for the ultimate ipod/iphone amplifier.

Apple TV – It’s only $119 ($99 in the US).  Nice device to easily stream Netflix and iTunes around the house.

Apple’s Battery Charger – Another inexpensive Apple gift idea.  Read here for a review in a recent Mac|Life.

DVD/CD Ideas:

ESPN 30 For 30 Box Set, Vol. 1 – This collection will be perfect to have around the house as my kids get older and start asking questions about Terry Fox, Muhammad Ali or the Gretzky trade.  Awesome stories not to forget and to look back on as years go by. (Excited already for Vol. 2)

The Remastered Shakespeare My Butt… – A must-have CD for anyone that grew up with the 90’s Toronto (or Canadian) music scene.  Click here for a great review via Chartattack.com.

Drive-By Truckers Austin City Limits DVD/CD – Many say the bands best documented live performance to date.  Looking forward to DBT’s next new album due out in early 2011.

Book Ideas:

• What Technology Wants
• Smarter, Faster, Cheaper
• They Call Me Killer
• The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle

Of course this list is for fun, most important thing is getting everyone together over the holiday season. Nothing beats Christmas morning with my kids and then getting together with our families.

Here’s to a great holiday season!
