In a recession year when most people are cutting back on holiday spending, how about treating your loved ones to some reindeer food that is safe for humans or a belching beer pager in case they keep losing their beer?

The previous lists have included Hillary Clinton nutcrackers, a Mother Teresa breath spray, an underwear repair kit and mini-golf to play while on the toilet.
