I am truly a simple woman, with a taste for fine wines. Whether relaxing after a busy day, or enjoying the view of a gorgeous sunset on a lovely beach, I simply cannot resist a glass of wine to add to the moment. And since wine is usually my drink of choice upon most occasions, especially when dining out or celebrating those special events in our Life, I must admit to being rather picky when it comes to the flavor of my wine, and I found the following little gadget quite interesting. Totally sweet and created with the finest in modern technologies, the Vino-Air Wine Aerator and Pourer is exactly what I need!

Oh yes, I am pretty sure I am not alone on this one. One of my greatest passions is music, and I love to bring my music with me when I am traveling around on my many adventures. So, in order to fulfill my greatest desire to listen to my favourite tunes as I travel, I am in avid pursuit of a new toy! Hmmm… this one is a no brainer, since I am pretty good at finding exactly what my sweet little heart desires! Of course, I do like to take advantage of getting the latest opinions from my family and friends, so I will post my current choice and see what my people have to say.

At the moment I am swaying heavily towards the Apple iPod touch 8 GB (3rd Generation). This just so happens to be the newest model, and comes with a price tag which is within my budget.

Tis the Season for gift giving in a big way once again. Whilst giving gift in our very large family encompasses the entire year, many in our family do celebrate Christmas. Personally, I could just as well skip the gift giving part, as the majority of my family just had birthdays!! Alas, I to will pick up the spirit of the Season and spread some joy, in spite of this.

Searching around for new ideas for gifts is fun, and it also gives me a chance to add to my own wish list as well. At the top of my list of course is the Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6″ Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation) which can be found at Amazon. This device simply has to be the coolest gift for an avid reader such as myself!

Let me give just a few examples of why I think this a virtually awesome gift for book lovers (pick me! pick me!). First of all the Kindle is 3G wireless, which lets you download books right from your Kindle; no annual contracts, no monthly fees, and no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. Just imagine how wonderful to be able to pull out my kindle wherever it pleases me! Oh yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.

This sweet little device reads like real paper, without glare, even in bright sunlight. Plus we can read for up to 1 week on a single charge with wireless on, a significant improvement from the previous battery life of just 4 days. Holds up to 1,500 books… not that I really need that many, but heck let’s just build a virtual library, shall we?

The Kindle Store has more than 360,000 books available, including 101 of 112 New York Times® Best Sellers, plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs. So there are little or no worries that avid readers will find what they are looking for. Whether you prefer biographies, classics, investment guides, thrillers, or sci-fi, thousands of your favorite books are available. The ultimate vision for the Kindle Wireless Reading Deviceis to have every book ever printed, in any language, all available in under 60 seconds. Now that is a lofty goal!

I actually discovered The Kindle last spring and mentioned it in another post, which gives more details about the features, and of course more of my own thoughts. All in all, I believe this to be a Virtually cool gift!
