. . . Saba and Savta Who Have Everything
Not another T-shirt from Acapulco, my closet is already overflowing, I beg my children and grandchildren. Not another book, I have a dozen stacked up that I haven't gotten around to reading.
So what can you give saba and savta, grandpa and grandma, who've been living in the same place for 35 years, have a house full of tchotchkes and every conceivable kitchen gadget?
I don't want the latest iPhone, videogame or computer attachment.
The great escape – or perhaps it is just a gigantic shopping spree
It may have been the biggest shopping spree in history. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, running out of the bare necessities, swarmed out of Gaza into Egypt yesterday to buy everything they could lay their hands on after Hamas militants blew up a huge metal border wall. They returned herding goats, sheep, heifers and camels, riding on donkey carts laden with sacks of cement, or festooned with cans of petrol strapped to their bodies, after militants brought Israel’s siege of the coastal territory to a halt, dismantling the 40ft-high (12m) barrier like a broken concertina. Old women lugged heavy cans of olive oil and children stumbled under the weight of packs of powdered milk, passing even more of the besieged masses still rushing through the gaping breaches to stock up on the basics.
Holiday Gift Show features Cape Ann products
When Sinikka Nogelo went to the first Holiday Gift Show of the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce last November, she got more than she bargained for.
"As soon as I walked through the door, right away I bought gifts for my grandchildren," she said. "The fair provided a nice showcase for Cape Ann products. I found what I was looking for, and what I wasn't looking for, because I got some great ideas. I saw jewelry and I'm a fan of Marty Morgan pottery. ... I love to buy locally."
The second chamber holiday gift show takes place at Cruiseport Gloucester tomorrow evening and Saturday, featuring shopping, cooking demonstrations, exhibitions and door prizes.
Judy Caulkett, the chamber program manager, said the event will feature 33 booths on both levels of the new Cruiseport building, located off Rogers Street on the inner harbor.
Social shopping sites cause online chatter
Beckie Tran doesn't have kids, which means she usually has no clue what presents to buy for her friends' children. Fortunately she gets advice from a separate group of buddies -- including people she's never even met.
Tran gets those gift ideas, and tips on dozens of other kinds of products, from her network of friends on Kaboodle.com, a Web site devoted to the fast-growing Internet category of "social shopping."
Social shopping sites with such names as Kaboodle, ThisNext, Wishpot and StyleHive combine two of the Web's most prominent activities: engaging in commerce and chatting with like-minded folks. The sites don't directly sell things, but encourage users to share links to good bargains, obscure finds, products that work and ones that don't.

Rejoicing Over Rebate
President Bush is proposing a temporary tax rebate to put more cash in people's pockets to get them spending and stimulate the economy. Word on capitol hill is that the president favors $800 rebates for individuals and $16-hundred for married couples. The checks haven't even been mailed out yet, but already people are planning on how to spend the extra cash. News of a tax rebate got some shoppers at the Empire Mall a little stir crazy. "I would go shopping and spend it in the mall all in one day, it wouldn't be too hard to do," said Brook Petersen. While how much of a rebate taxpayers would get hasn't been decided yet, Crazy Days shoppers say any amount would help. But most of the people we spoke with wouldn't go on any big shopping sprees, but rather would spend money on necessities or even save it. "I think it's a good idea as hard as some people work," said Sarah Bentley. Sarah Bentley has three children and says $16 hundred dollars wouldn't last long in today's economy. "I would buy groceries, because groceries are so high, grocery and gas, that's the main thing, grocery and gas," said Bentley. Ali Adamson is planning to get married soon, so the money would not be spent on any luxury items. " $800 dollars, I'd like to say I' d put it in the bank, which I would probably do with a wedding coming up," said Adamson. Others would save it to cover future expenses. "Probably save it for my kids for school or college," said Caron Wipf. "We would save it for a house, we are planning on buying a house or building one in the next few years and after that save it go on vacation," said Sharon Hofer.
10-year-old North Carolina girl dies after vehicle hits her
WINDSOR, N.C. A 10-year-old girl died Monday evening after being struck by a vehicle near U.S. 17. Students at Windsor Elementary School were told the news of Jamesha Miller’s death first thing this morning, said Brent Todd, Bertie County Schools spokesman. The school had a moment of silence, then 10 chimes rang in the 4th grader’s honor. After each chime, someone read a character trait that described her. All of the county’s school counselors are at Windsor Elementary School today to offer grief counseling to students, teachers or staff. Todd said she was walking to a store when she was struck by the vehicle, but knew no other details about the incident. A message left with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol was not immediately returned.
