The solution: GoPro, a little company with a big idea,

All three of my boys are on the fifth Harry Potter book at the moment. Last night we’d stuck Porter in the bed, but he popped out and came in our room to inform us that “all the house elves except Dobby are drinking lots of butter-beer, and it’s very strong for house elves. I’m worried about what will happen.”
For those of you who haven’t been hooked by these books yet, they are a gift to this generation of up-and-coming readers, and are responsible for my younger boys making huge leaps in their reading ability this year. I haven’t been able to

Some people are hard to buy for. They have everything. They engage in esoteric hobbies that are impossible to acknowledge with a present. These are people who never express appreciation but that you might feel obligated to purchase gifts for because of blood or marriage. Many of us have ancient relatives with closets full of bedroom slippers and scented soaps.
I hope these ideas will help you with the hard to buy for people on your list. Remember, though, that you can always make a donation to their favorite charity in their honor if that will bring them pleasure.
Do your parents already have a set of salt and pepper shakers crafted to look like themselves? If not, they don’t truly have everything. For the single recipient, the wine stopper would be a hilarious choice.
This next gift won’t win you any points for bringing sexy back, but it will be put to good use. Have you discovered the wonder of Tervis tumblers? They don’t sweat, they don&rsq

It’s that time of year already! I’ve just completed my annual "Terry White’s 2007 Holiday Gadget Gift Guide". That’s right it’s my guide to help you with you holiday shopping for the gadget lover (freak) on your list. The way this thing started was last year towards the holiday season all my friends started asking me and emailing about what my picks were in various categories and of course the answers were the same. So I decided to compile a list and just email it to the folks that asked. Then I followed my buddy Scott Kelby’s lead and decided to formalize the process with my very own interactive PDF.
The guide is broken out by product category and lists my picks from the lowest dollar amount to the highest. So there are products in just about every price range. The guide is interactive with links to each of the products (just click on the product shot or price) on sites that I trust to make online purchases from and have dealt with in the
Yesterday, I received the fourth annual compilation of Uncle Mark's Gift Guide & Almanac. It's author, Mark Hurst, is one of my favorite marketers. He operates www.goodexperience.com, the GEL Conference, and www.thisisbroken.com - all interesting and compelling ways to sell the need for great customer experiences to America's businesses. Small business should take note of Mark's expertise - at least by receiving his e-newsletter and the prolific examples on his "This is Broken" blog.
But, now we come to Holiday Season 2006 and Uncle Mark's Gift Guide. Mark apparently is a cool uncle and as a tech-type, he gets a lot of those questions from Great Uncle Joe and Cousin Jane about which gift or camera or computer they should buy. So, he compiled the answers into a frank, funny, direct and useful guide. And he spread it far and wide. In this guide, we see the usefulness of authentic communication, the providing of value, and the leadership he exudes by listing only ONE recommenda

Each gift must be perfectly selected to warm the heart of the recipient, fit perfectly with his or her lifestyle, and, of course, reflect our own superior taste. No problem... if all you have to do for the next month and a half
