Cool holiday gifts for those on your list

Here is a list and links to stuff I think is neat-o and would make nice gifts. I've already turned in my wish lists so these aren't necessarily things I personally would want - but they are all interesting and maybe will spark a good idea for those who are still idea shopping for those on their list.

This apron is amazing. I think it would make me a better cook just wearing it:

Keys with a "head" that is different/unusual - you can easily find your house key, work key, garage key, etc. I love this! http://www.statkeycompany.com/keyblank/icons/house-key

For the children - 10 games in one. And they're cool old school games like checkers, chess, chinese checkers and that game no one knows how to play...backgammon! http://www.johnlewis.com/230435637/Product.aspx?source=46387

Just for sillies - night vision goggles! http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/night-vision-goggles/index.html

Opportunity International is an interesting nonprofit organization. They provide banking services (loans, insurance, savings, training) to those in impoverished nations - example: for a very small amount of money in the form of a loan, a woman in a underdeveloped country can purchase materials orequipment to fund a small, simple business and become self-sustaining. They pay back the loan and the money is re-invested in others who aspire to become independent. You can purchase coffee here as a gift to a globally minded friend or relative and support this organization. www.opportunity.org/coffeeclub
