So, in retrospect, last week's Xmas Wishlist was kinda crummy. Or lazy might be a more appropriate word. But I'm better prepared this week. What say we give this another shot? If you have friends or family like me (God help you if you do) here's some ideas of what to wrap up and slap a bow on for them this holiday season.

5. The Steel City Coffee House VIP card
This is a must-give to anyone who is a regular frequenter of Phoenixville's sweetest spot for music and caffeine. And rare, so hurry! As of yesterday, there was only 5 still available. This gets you reserved seating, advanced ticket prices on all shows, 10% off all food and drink, $25 extra on the card, AND 2 free tickets good for any show. Plus no BYO fees for VIP members and guests (when tickets purchased using the VIP Card. VIP CARD is initiated with a one time purchase of $500.00 and are reloadable in any amount. More information on the VIP card at http://steelcitycoffee.stores.yahoo.net/vipgica5.html.

4. Steel City Coffee House Gift Card
And for all those cheap skates out there not willing to shell out the $500 for that golden ticket, you could just give out a borin' ol' Steel City gift card. They are good for show tickets and can be bought at www.steelcitycoffeehouse.com and will be delivered with free shipping. Just don't tell the person you're giving this to about the VIP card. They will hate you.

3. Guitar Hero World Tour.
"A guy can dream right?" That's why they made Guitar Hero--so everyone can rock out. This is where the party is at.

2. www.urbanoutfitters.com
Go there and go crazy. I promise, you'll find something, because if it's cool, they make it.

1. DO NOT GIVE iTUNES GIFT CARDS!
I mean it! Sure, they are good for office friends or stocking stuffers, but if you're REALLY shopping for a music head, you get yourself in a record store, buster. A REAL record store--I'm not talking FYE here. Or you can browse online too. But the gift of vinyl is the way to go. The artwork is large and beautiful and a record has more thought and care wrapped up in it. It makes a much sweeter gift than a plastic card with numbers on it.
