"What I think: More from the desk of Phyllis the Scrooge on unusual gifts to delight my lucky friends and family who already have everything on this planet:  Japanese Bird Bells. These tiny bird-shaped bells can be hung from a tree or in a window. They&amp;#039;re cheerful, warm, make an inspirational sound - and I&amp;#039;d be really surprised if anyone I know already has them. Set of 4 at www.RedEnvelope.com and 1-877-733-3683 are only $35. (Item #197647) Menu Organizer. Smart, thoughtful gift that holds take-out menus. It has 30 sleeves that store 60 menus and tabbed dividers for different cuisines. Comes with rating stickers and a 50-sheet group ordering pad. $20 at www.uncommongoods.com and 1-888-365-0056. (Item #13079) Cubist Cocktail Set, also at www.RedEnvelope.com (Item #144382). This cocktail set includes 4 cone-shaped, mouth-blown glasses designed to rest in ice-filled glass cubes (cubes included in the set). All go into a 9&amp;quot;square espresso-colored wooden tray. A perfect gift for martini perfectionists. Wind-defying Umbrella - $25 at www.RestorationHardware.com, stores and 1-800-816-0901. This cool umbrella (folds to 9-1/2&amp;quot;) flexes in the wind, then flips back into place. It&amp;#039;s even got a lighted handle. A different unisex gift.  I think I&amp;#039;m doing a great job of finding interesting and unusual - and under $50 gifts. No more &amp;quot;bah, hum-bug&amp;quot; for me. Now I can relax and enjoy the holidays. :) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
