Ah, another year of being naughty and nice - hopefully to some of the same people. It is once again time to imagine a snow-filled morning, with a tree and plenty of presents, some wrapped with care, others in haste. Hard for us to do, living here in the land of earthquakes and mudslides in sunny, smoggy, Los Angeles, but we'll try to get into the spirit of the season. Helping us along this year is our model, Teresa Noreen, who obliged us with some of the products that our editors have carefully chosen to delight and amuse you - in some cases they even let you get some real work done...

We'll tell you more about her later, but first let's get to some of the more useful products on our shopping list. Since Teresa is enjoying herself so much with her Ferrari, let's start with that.
