The 80's definitely didn't shy away from size with Ghetto Blasters and brick size cell phones and although music these days tends to be a bit more personalized, there are times when you definitely want to show off your playlists. The most stylish portable speakers I have seen have to be the JAMBOX. It features rich audio in a portable wireless speaker that is remarkably compact and throaty. I mean -- it's loud. JAMBOX is powered by a pair of proprietary, highly sophisticated acoustic drivers that produce extremely high (tweeter) and low (woofer) frequencies at output capacity of 85 decibels that can easily fill a large room. They are sure to get nods of approval and what the hell -- you can still feel free to rock your Dookie rope chains with them. Price: $199

I have to admit I am tough to shop for. I don't want much, and what I do want typically costs at least a few hundred dollars.

None of the above. The best gift continues to be your woman na ked holding a 12-pack of good beer.

sorry, that jacket really screams geek. i think i would rather have a knit hat, scarf, or even a tie, but thanks for trying.
have you ever noticed oakleys look really good on asians and snowboarders? bonus points for asian snowboarders. the rest of us are better off leaving them in the store.

That jacket would be awesome, under a motorcycle jacket in cool weather, otherwise kinda lame.

okie -- if you are hiding it from public view then very smart of you! I live in atlanta and layering jackets never occured to me.
