Ideas for Holiday, er, Christmas Gifts

I’m at a complete loss for what to give friends and family this year for Christmas since there’s nothing anyone particularly needs. So, I thought I’d ask the teeming millions if there’s anything they’ve come across that they’d like to share with the rest of us which they think would make a good gift. I’m looking for the types of gifts that may not be on anyone’s radar (so the iPod’s out) and is specific (not just a gift certificate for a weekend getaway).

For example, if I hadn’t already given these out, this is what would be on my list:
The 5 Day Weather Forecaster
A Customized Action Figure
Velco Cord Ties

Anyone have anything to recommend to the rest of us?

My daughter recieved a Pocket 20Q yesterday and we’ve all had a lot of fun playing with it. It’s kind of spooky how it seems to read your mind. They’re also cheap, so I went and bought a few to have on hand for those times when you need a gift that anyone might enjoy.
