1. Josh Groban, a vocalist similar to Tony Bennett or Michael Bublé, released the CD Noël last holiday season which has classic Christmas songs like "I'll Be Home For Christmas" while adding new ones like "Petit Papa Noël." The CD has a soothing Christmas feel that will make listeners want to ice skate or decorate a tree with the family. It can be picked up for around $10 at Target and will cheer anyone in need of Christmas spirit.

2. Last Christmas is currently out in bookstores by New York Times bestselling author of the Private Series, Kate Brian. The series is about the inter-workings of a few privileged girls at the Easton Academy. The book is technically the prequel to the Private Series, but is to be read last. Perfect to its name, Last Christmas is now out in stores for the holidays. Now on sale at Borders for $14.

3. The Call of Duty World at War is already in stores. The game is intended for Playstation III where the player is set on a battlefield to war against opponents who fight back. Great for someone who liked the past Call of Duty games or any action genre video game. However, it is a splurge at $60 at Best Buy. Rated mature.

4. College gear. Show off spirit for your future school by purchasing a hat, sweatshirt or t-shirt with the university's name stamped across the front.  Usually the cost is from $15-$40 for these items and they can be found on any of the universities websites. It is a great gift for any student who has a specific college they support.

5. The Dark Knight comes out on DVD Dec. 9 at Blockbuster. This movie was rated three and a half stars out of four in Rolling Stone's review. Just in time for the holidays, one can buy it for their favorite Batman (or Heath Ledger) fan.
