Gift Guide 2005 - GIFTS UNDER $35

[December 14th, 2005] This is it, folks—WW's third and final holiday gift guide of 2005 is finally here.

And let me tell you something: It's been a trip.

Not only are my feet a bit more exhausted than usual from traipsing high and low to find you cool Yule stuff—so is my credit card. But, hey, I'm not complaining. That's because it isn't every day I get to test-drive such diverse items as toothbrush sanitizers, ninja catapults, and pee-pee teepees. And during this season of thrilling surprises, I've been pleasantly perplexed by more than a few items.

I guess that's because we went for broke this year, figuring that for the BIG DAY, you need BIG IDEAS. Over the next 28 pages, I hope you'll find enough inexpensive wish fulfillers to help you fill up at least two or three stockings.

Next week, we get back to our regularly scheduled entertainment stuff (we'll also have a rockin' New Year's Eve party guide). Until then, enjoy our essential cheat-sheet for the last-minute shopper.
