    --  For foodies and home cooks, the OCD Cutting Board makes chopping, dicing
        and slicing fresh vegetables and herbs practically a science, as it
        allows you to mince down to the millimeter. Plus, variety is the spice
        of life with a Split Decision pie pan.  Please the entire family's
        palate - or support the calorie-conscious foodie on your list who may
        want to make just half a pie.
    --  Roll over, Beethoven: you can now take piano lessons on your iPad. 
        Learning and playing music has been proven to be an excellent stress
        reliever and brain-booster.
    --  A pop culture board game, like Cranium: Glee Edition, will make spending
        time with family and friends a barrel of laughs --and boost brain power
        and creativity. Add even more joy to someone's holiday with Lush Bath
        Bombs which release essential oils to moisturize skin and lift spirits,
        allowing your nearest and dearest to unwind and de-stress. Choose from
        nearly 50 scents, including Golden Wonder which boasts citrus oils, and
        the Lil' Lush Pud which has a festive holiday feel thanks to lemon and
        clove scents.
    --  Delight the gadget lovers or exercise enthusiasts on your list with a
        personalized fitness performance system that boasts GPS, Wi-Fi, and a
        smart music tracker that ensures they'll be exercising at least 30
        minutes a day. Or, for your favorite yogi, consider a mood-enhancing
        yoga mat with a built-in speaker to play an instructional podcast or
        relaxing music - a great way to enjoy the mind and body benefits of the
        practice, which include reduced stress and improved back pain.
