While it's unlikely that civilization is going to collapse anytime soon, you just never know--which is why survival gear makes a great gift. It's compact, easy to carry, and easy to use, even when you're somewhere that civilization doesn't reach, and it tends to be fairly inexpensive.

For example, are you sick of your neighbor's tuneless caterwauling? Give them some free voice lessons. Maybe they'll get the point -- or at least become a better singer. There's always hope.

But seriously, folks, voice lessons are a great idea for anyone who loves to sing and would like to get serious about it. Even if they're already a good singer, a professional voice coach can help them bring out their best qualities, so they can take a big step toward success.

Now, I love my barbecue as much as anyone, but we all know that, while grill cooking is less polluting than oven cooking, it still puts a good bit of smoke into the air we've all got to breathe.

It's mouthwatering smoke, to be sure, but it's still smoke--and believe it or not, in some places it's against the law to barbecue because of the smoke. The horror!
