1. One of the coolest gift sites I have visited recently is PixPosters (www.pixposters.com). Here, you’ll find movie stills, press kits, and movie posters for a huge variety of films, including Beetlejuice, Lord of the Rings, and A Clockwork Orange. In addition, you can utilize the search option to peruse by country, title, or even sub-category. (Be sure to check out the gay film pages, which comprise quite a lengthy list.)
2. Can you possibly go wrong with Absolutely Fabulous? The answer is a definite “No.” Even if you missed the new episodes, you can log onto the official site (www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/abfab/) and catch up with Patsy and Edina. Among the fun features are a family tree, a page with wallpaper you can download, and a guide complete with submissions from fans around the globe. Among the entries in the latter item is this gem: “The girls’ favourite champagne is Bolly, or Bollinger. [yummy bolly] Of course Patsy is also a vodka drinker, and a cocktail drinker, and, well anything in the drinks cabinet really.”
