After seeing several others set up Amazon stores this past week, I just launched mine too! So far it is, of course, all about the shoes :)
And yeah, that D40 - WANT.

Megan, you're out of control. Thanks so much for linking to my gift guides (and, earlier in the week the random holiday baked goods roundup)! I'm with awesome company. If I were a rap star, the only way to refer to you would be to call you a dime piece. In other words, Awesome.

You're too sweet. I have serious love for Bake and Shake!

I just put up my "100 Things Under $25 dollars" Gift Guide on my blog.
Oh, and I have the d40 and love it! Good choice!

Thanks for the round-up! There are so many gift guides out there that one practically needs a "guide to guides". Anyways, here is one more from 3Luxe, a uniquely focused shopping search engine.

Some of the options are kind of aspirational, but there are"under $100" and "under $500" picks as well.

Hi,
Just a quick note about the Oxo potato ricer. The handles are really short. Too short, I think. When making larger batches of mashed potatoes, the handles don't span the bowl, if that makes sense. Also, short handles are harder to pres together; less leverage and all. The ricer is a great tool, but I suggest one with longer handles.

Thanks Karen!

I have the Nikon D40 and it's great! I love the fact that it's lighter than the Canon Rebel. I was playing around with my friend's Rebel and it felt noticeably heavier. The D40 weight is more tolerable hanging around the neck.
