From the LA Times:
By Roy Rivenburg, Times Staff Writer
Don't insult your loved ones by giving them iPods, espresso machines or other lame holiday gifts. Use our handy shopping guide to ferret out this year's essential under-the-tree treats.
Moby-Dick: The action-figure industry continues to boom. The lineup of bendable dolls includes Sigmund Freud, Jesus, Ben Franklin, Cleopatra, Moses, a librarian, a coffee barista and Pope Innocent III, to name a few. But they all pale in comparison (figuratively speaking) with Dick, the Albino Bowler Action Figure. Sporting a large white Afro and a push-button-activated white bowling ball, he sells for $8.95 at http://www.mcphee.com .
Napa Big Gulp: At last, a wineglass big enough to hold an entire bottle of vino ‚àö‚â• so you can truthfully say "I only had one glass, officer." Stands nearly 13 inches tall. The Big Bold Red Glass is available for $99.95 at http://www.iwawine.com . A knockoff version goes for $13 at Britain's http://www.gobaz.com .
