There's no better way to celebrate the holiday than to review new creative products.

I mean, why re-invent the wheel when you can observe (and hopefully improve upon) other people's insights and use of technology? Whether you are looking for gadgets for your business customers or for your own pleasure, today's business podcast will introduce you to some of the newest toys.

Dolls that talk, understand you and make faces...Chucky has nothing on Amazing Amanda!

The Wired Magazine reviewer of this unbelievable toy said it was almost frightening, how realistic she was. She can tell when she's sitting on the toilet, when her "Mommy" talks, what plastic food you put in her hand, and what clothes she is wearing. She also tells you whether or not she likes the clothes or the food. Now THAT'S realism!

Find the perfect Christmas present you can give yourself (in exchange for those presents you end up returning).

You never know what you may discover. Personally, I'm thrilled to receive a new IngenuiTEA from Adagio Teas. It's my second IngenuiTEA, only this one is not the 16 oz one I use at the office. The one my son got me is the 4-cup size that I can enjoy at home.

You pour your filtered water into the microwavable pot and boil the water. Take it out and put in your tea, herbs or dried fruit, you let it steep, and then it uses a nylon strainer to pour out perfectly clear tea. I pour it into my glass tea pot and sit it upon my tea light warmer...sheer heaven! (smile)

So however you define happiness, I hope your holidays are filled with it!
