Ho Ho Ho, continued

This is revised post of our second Christmas Wish List. It is brought to you by one of the Angelic Genius partners - a young dad who is being told he is apparently a bit of a gadget-freak. For gadgets and other things, keep reading...
Even a blind man like myself knows that Lacoste is very back - try picking up their classic polo available at Urban Outfitters and make someone happy. While you're at Urbn, add a Paul Frank "My Mom is a Biker" tee to offset the faux-preppiness of the polo shirt.
To be a real star this season, green light a little video game action with the new, ultra-sleek (and cheaper!) PSTwo Playstation (previously featured here, but it's a sure-thing). They're not easy to find but my tip is to take a look at eBay if you can't get one locally. And if you're really ready to splurge, while you're there think about having a so-new-you-can-only-get-it-in-Japan PSP shipped over. Trust me when I say he'll be the coolest kid on the block.
Back down to earth, I've got some DVDs I'd like to see under the tree: try the Kill Bill 1 and 2 combo or the extra-special Criterion editions of either The Royal Tenenbaums or the molto cool Antonioni classic, L'Avventura (guaranteed to make any man romantic, at least temporarily).
Music-wise, think about these: The Hives' Tyrannosaurus Hives, the self-titled one from Ambulance LTD, freaky-named, freaky-sounding, really addictive Tegan & Sara - So Jealous (try track 8) - or let them suit themselves with this, either a-la-carte or super-sized with something from here.

Ho Ho Ho, Part 2 1/2

I'm a young, stylish and hip girl living in L.A. and this is what I want you to get me for the holidays: first of all I couldn't live without this cool Mudflap Boy tee-shirt - but if someone is already getting it for me I would be very happy with this funny version too! You would also make me melt with this hip alligator. Around my neck these White Trash Charms necklaces would be a hit - like the Hot Blooded 8 Track, the Wishbone or the VIP Pass for the rockstar that I am! At La Redoute Paris you'll find all the latest trends to please me at reasonable prices and also some very special designers creating just for them. My favorites for this winter are the total English newsboy look with it's adorable Herringbone Blazer, Plaid-Reverse cuffs Jeans, soft Hooded Sweater, Baseball Cap and cool belt. This relaxed but chic suede Hobo Bag and a pair of suede Mary Jane or Minnetonka Moccasins would perfect this great look. For my DVD collection I would love Dream On Season1 & 2 - that great show from the 90's where the main character - a publisher- get flashbacks from his childhood TV days. You'll also remember his boss as the lead singer in the now-cult movie Spinal Tap! And don't hesitate to take advantage of this promotion when you get Arrested Development Season 1 - another jewel of the small screen - at the same time!

Oh! And I almost forgot... I want this and that and that too!

The Art of Giving

For this holiday season why not get a gift with a soul? A piece of art is a surprising, deep way of saying I love You and one that's lasting. The Hamilton Selway Fine Art website offers a goldmine of buying tips and for the lucky ones of you who lives in Los Angeles - where their gallery is located. They also have an amazing collection of great American contemporary artists like Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Longo, to name only a few - and their competitive prices makes the dream of buying art accessible to many more than before. If you have the character of a discoverer and are looking for a talented emerging artist let us recommend the rising William Conklin who with paintings like On Your Mark , Medea, Open or La Couleur - using mixed media in such an interesting and rich way that you'll never get tired to look at his pieces - displays the potential of a master. And if your heart goes to photography Shelli Wright will charm you with bright refreshing beach scenes or tender lovers kissing in black and white.

Happy holidays! Finally, don't forget to check out our new designs to make a hip mommy around you happy.
