A Running Jacket — Saucony Epic Run Jacket

The well-received and comfortable Saucony Epic Run Jacket provides its runners a cozy feel that protects against rain, water damage, and biting climates. The garment is designed to withstand the natural challenges faced by long runs in inconsistent and/or rainy weather. The jacket is a fantastic layer for winter weather running, work out, and training. Sale prices start as low as $59.99 with standard pricing begins at $69.32.

Running Shoes — Reebok Men’s Classic Leather Running Shoe

The reasonably priced Reebok Men’s Classic Leather is known to be a solid pick. Not only is the shoe a valuable addition to a runner’s collection (the more the better when it comes to running shoes), it is also gift-budget friendly. The shoe is a classic and sharp black color that goes well with most outfits and can be worn virtually anywhere casually. This solid gift idea will only run you about $49.75 and will satisfy the recipient for years to come.

ID Bracelet — Sports Vital / Sports ID Adjustable Bracelet 

A great way of blending safety with appeal is to wear a Sports ID bracelet. The runner on your list won’t just dig the sharp look of this item, but they will also appreciate the bracelet’s utility. If ever anything happened, this ID bracelet provides emergency and personal information about the runner to whoever finds or helps them. It’s a must have precaution and not too shabby of a gift. The item is only priced at $20 too.

High Visibility Vest — Neiko High Visibility Neon Green Zipper Front Safety Vest w/ Reflective Strips

As mentioned before, there is nothing more important than being safe while running. While running at night, the dangers become more obvious. Wearing this neon green safety vest w/reflective straps prevents one thing: being unseen. Perhaps in the day a subtler look would fly, but when the sun goes down a runner cannot be safe enough given the volume of traffic on our roadways. This gift helps runners maintain a safe running environment and it is only $9.95.

Hope your running recipients grow to love these useful products.

For those who aren’t too sure what all the fuss is about – what is so good about the iPad 2?

Well where do we begin? First up the iPad 2 has forward facing and rear cameras (perfect for facetime); it also has a better process than the original iPad and it’s smaller now too. It also has a groovy new magnetic cover.

Sure there are other computer tablets that can do all the stuff that an iPad 2 can do, but let’s face it, none of them are quite as cool or as smooth and easy to use.

So if you are looking for a gift idea for a brother, sister, heck even your grandparents, then the Apple iPad 2 would have to be at the top of the wishlist.

The first of our presents to buy this year is the work “Kris Kringle” gift, or “Secret Santa” depending on where you’re from.

Kris Kringle don’t need to be anything fancy, just a little gesture to show you care. Normally you don’t want to spend more than $10-$20. So what can you possibly buy when you don’t have much to spend?

If your Kris Kringle is for a female than it’s easy – simply go for jewellery, body pampering products (ie Bodyshop), or some kind of cute fashion accessory. To help you decide think about the jewellery and accessories you normally see this person in and base you decision on that.

If  you don’t think you’re Kris Kringle is much of a girly girl then other options that always work a treat are books, alcohol or DVDs.

For the guys it is best to keep it simple. Alcohol, books and DVDs will also work and they will also appreciate gift certificates. Consider a gift certificate for the movies, an iTunes voucher or an electronics store.

At the end of the day if you know a little bit about the person you can base your gift on this, but if you don’t know them that well than the above Kris Kringle gift ideas will work a treat.

Good luck shopping and if you need any advice for your Kris Kringle gift then please send your questions in!

• Buying presents is no crisis
• Setting up a gift closet

While the TellMeAGift folks love this time of year, we know that it can be extremely stressful for people who have no idea what to buy or where to go.

Online is always a good place to start, and even if you aren’t a fan of online shopping then you can at least find lots of great gift ideas here to hit the shops with.

TellMeAGift have lots of great gift ideas if you flick through our pages that we have even chosen for our own loved ones, so hopefully you like our suggestions.

Speak to you all soon

And p.s. if anyone is stuck for a gift idea then ask TellMeAGift and we’ll give you our expert advice!

But if when you are not a geek yourself it can be hard to know what to get them (for instance a book of sudoku puzzles probably won’t impress the modern geek)!

So if you want to impress that geek friend of yours or maybe just want some cool new geek presents for yourself then here are some geek chic ideas for you…

Every geek likes to look cool so a great geek gift idea believe it or not is clothes, especially tshirts.

If the tshirt has writing on it then it better be clever and witty otherwise you will want a shirt that is uber cool with colours that will impress his or hers most geekiest of friends.

Another gift than any geek is sure to love is of course gadgets, just make sure that it is new!

An old iPod mini isn’t exactly going to be useful to someone who already has an iPhone, iPad and the latest iMac now is it?

So when thinking of cool gifts look for the latest camera, video game consoles or a USB that will hold a serious amount of data.

Then of course there are the gifts that will keep that geek being well, geeky. That is DVDs, book and games and anything else to keep their mind active.

Trying to decide which to give isn’t rocket science though, your geek will probably love to watch any of the latest DVDs that are out just ask the shop assistant and they will not just what to choose for you otherwise if you’re buying online pick a best seller and you won’t go wrong.

Of course this is just the start of what you can buy for you loving geek but if you want an more personal advice then leave a comment or chat to TellMeAGift Chat!

The Lady is often spotted wearing a hot pair of sunnies and now your lucky gift recipient can look just as awesome with this pair of Lady Gaga inspired vintage sunglasses.

2.  Gloves

Lady Gaga may not wear much but she is often seen wearing a pair of gloves. So for an admirer to truly emulate her style a hot pair of gloves is a must. The ones pictured here are not only fashion forward but made from Italian leather to keep your hands nice and warm as well (not that practicality is a concern for most fashionistas).

3. Lady Gaga Inspired Fashion

Unless you’ve bee living under a rock recently you’ve probably noticed that Lady Gaga’s outrageous fashion styles have been leading the fashion trends lately. While she has an array of looks she generally has some common themes, which are leotards, one shoulder tops, latex, leather, high shoulders and anything tight. There are many looks to choose from but our favourite one to gift is this black one-shoulder dress by Alexander Wang.

4. Anything with bows

Lady Gaga has made bows cool again and chances are any fan of her will also be a fan of a cute bow. Get them to add a bit extra to an outfit or to be worn in the hair.

1. Candles

A lot of Pagan rituals require candles so this would make a great gift idea. Colored ones are best but any type that you think looks decorative would also make a wonderful gift.

2. Books

Books make a great gift no matter who the person is. There are some great books around for either someone new to Paganism or somebody wise in their ways. Some popular titles are – Pagan Everyday: Finding the Extraordinary in our Ordinary Lives; The Pagan Book of Living and Dying; Cyberhenge: Modern Pagans on the Internet and Pagan Theology: Paganism as a World Religion.

3. Herbs

Herbs are generally very popular amongst Pagans as they can be used for their magical qualities or simply for their aromatic delights. Consider getting some herb pots or a decorative herb wreath like the one pictured below.

4. Statues or Art

Pagans often keep statues and monuments in their house so they can be honoured. Or they may just appreciate the beauty of a fine piece of art. Some popular statues choices are those of Greek or Egyptian Mythology such as Isis or Aphrodite.

5. Jewelry

Who doesn’t love jewelry? For Pagan’s jewelry can carry significant spiritual meanings and thus can be very important to them. Prayer beads are very popular among Pagans as well as Celtic symbols and charms and pendants.
