Extra Information on Cool Christmas Gift Ideas
Janet and Lou have rounded up their ideas of some of the hottest Christmas gifts to give and receive this year!

Lou's Selections

Weber Grill Restaurant Cooking Classes
We all think we're weekend 'grillmasters' but why not learn from one of the biggest names in outdoor grilling?? Weber Grill Restaurants offer a variety of classes from May-September. You can give one as a gift by purchasing a gift certificate at any of the Weber Grill Restaurant locations in Chicago, Wheeling or Lombard. The hands-on classes range in price from $65-75.

For more information about the classes, call the Weber Grill Restaurant Corporate Office at:

Sony DVD to Go
Enjoy the picture and quality of a DVD player even when you're -away- from home with this portable DVD player. It includes the audio/video cords, so you can easily plug it into the TV's jacks. It also plays CDs and MP3s. Lou discovered this in the Solutions Catalog.

Grip Mentor
It may be cold outside.. but that doesn't mean you can't fine-tune your golf game. This high-tech gadget and the accompanying computer software, helps you do just that.

Tommy Bahama Barware
The clothing is all about that 'island feel', but Tommy Bahama is bringing the tropics to entertaining.. in the form of beautiful barware. You'll find ice buckets, cocktail glasses, shot glasses even a cocktail recipe book. We found these at the Tommy Bahama store at Chicago's The Shops at North Bridge.

Personalized Pez Dispenser
We've all seen the traditional candy dispensers we loved as kids but how'd you like to have one of them with a likeness of yourself??? Thanks to Jayorama Collectables in St. Louis, you can do just that.. even order them as gifts for your friends and family. Ozzy Osbourne and his family have 'em... now, Lou even has his own.
