Several people have asked me about holiday gifts.  Yesterday we placed an order for umbrellas for a local manufacturing facility and they are certainly a good holiday gift in light of the recent heavy rains.  See www.aaaumbrella.com  for one good source with a good variety to pick from.  I suggest the golf umbrellas and like the automatic ones.  It is a big help when you are getting out of your vehicle with an armload of stuff to pop it open first before the rain hits.  Double ribbed umbrellas are nice as well with the winter wind we see in Central Virginia.  Also good is desk top items and my old standby, at www.elramcorp.com have a good variety and will do as few as 12 items with an imprint.  I was amazed that someone asked me to suggest items in the $200 range.  Seen them in catalogues often but never expected to be asked.  Good thing I don't throw any catalogue out.  See www.andrewphilips.com for very nice leather goods.  There is a clearace section with some very nice values. 
Will keep adding ideas as I see them.  Halloween is here, time to get moving on this.  M
