For the fourth fabulous year, on Feb 7, Doris Bergman hosted a Pre-Valentine Oscar Gifting Suite at Café La Boheme to offer Hollywood Insiders and VIPs a chance for a sneak peak at some of the hottest new fashions, cosmetics, gourmet cuisine, sweets, and more.

An inversion table is a priceless piece of equipment for any fitness enthusiast as it can be used to stretch your aching back, thereby extending your spine and alleviating back pain. Not to mention the great abdominal workout you can reap from sit-ups, hanging upside down while your back is fully supported.

It is almost 2012 and who wouldn’t love to begin a new year with new fitness toys to motivate the upcoming bouts of exercise. There is nothing more motivating than results, and the only way to obtain results is to love what you are doing enough to stay dedicated. Fun and innovating equipment can make all the difference between dragging yourself through a job and sprinting across the neighborhood like a grinning cheetah on the hunt. Give these tools to those who need that extra [...]

So maybe you know someone who just can’t keep from flaunting his/her perfect body, which takes no effort whatsoever to obtain according to that person. This anti-fitness gift guide is for you yourself to avoid, but you might want to use it to gift a small pebble in the path of that pesky perfect body person you might know. We really shouldn’t have even made this gift guide, but what the heck! What’s life without a little fun? Avoid these and enjoy the New Year!

There’s a lot to be said for free “stuff!” From my observations, people are really inclined to make an appearance if they’re promised a loaded swag bag. I used to suffer from that affliction until my office storage room began to overflow—that being one of the main reasons I personally stopped attending gifting suites.

The key to any great workout is great music, and the key to enjoying great music is quality sound. Cable is so last year. Even my dog has Bluetooth these days, so why not cut the cords on your loved one and give them the gift of freedom.

I put together a list of my top five film noir classics that can’t miss for an incredible gift. Of course, there are so many to choose from, so use your imagination if you don’t like my choices. But each movie I have watched repeatedly.

There’s something on this list for everybody and every price range. I know the title seems a little self-serving, but the bottom line is if you wouldn’t want the gift you’re giving, neither will your recipient!

Samsung Galaxy Tab wins first place for being the fastest little rocket next to the iPad without the iPad price. Internally you will find the same Cortex A8 processor you will find beating in the hearts of iPads and iphones. Tablets run a close race in appearance for the most part, so it is all the little things that make all the difference, like the 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video chat.

Sphinx Cat or other Useless and Ugly Pets:
Why anybody would waste his money on this hideous creature is beyond me. But people have and do. A certain gifter gave his girlfriend a Sphinx cat. She ended up taking the poor thing to a shelter. From her mouth, it was not a pleasant experience, especially not on the eyes. Would you believe people have gifted snakes, rats, and even a piranha!
