The holidays are fun. Pop on your favorite local christmas music station (or stream The Christmas Lounge on SomaFM for a heady modern mix), regress to ten years old, and sneak as much eggnog as you can before mom gets home. You're guaranteed to have a good time. What can make the holidays a drag, however, is shopping for those damned relatives who have everything and/or won't give you the slightest clue of what they might enjoy for the new year.
The solution: custom swim suits. Splish.com allows you to customize a variety of suit styles so your friends and family will be more than ready for their next tropical excursion. Put a groovy logo on it, maybe even a cute phrase, or if you're really feeling darring, your beautiful face across the package.
If you want to get serious tho- check out Mark Dillinger Arts. Dillingers impressive use of color and realism blended with a careful balance of mystical elements, creates magical landscapes that any surfer can get lost in for a lifetime.
For stocking stuffers Energy CHOMPS are a must. They give you the jolt you need to bite back should one of those slippery creatures comes from below.
A garanteed winner this season: fashionable, yet cheap, shades. The Grindhouse from Ryders Eyewear will get even your ugliest cousin laid this winter.
Add a touch of sophistication to the mix with some light reading that everyone will enjoy. The Wave, by Susan Casey, is a well-rounded exploration of mother ocean's darkest moments- including insight from those who know it best... big wave riders.
