Check out these great last minute gift ideas available at entertainment specialty stores for the 2009 holiday season.
Movies- Everyone loves getting DVDs for a gift. Remember that movie you saw with your friend in theaters that featured all those great one-liners? Pick up a copy and relive those great memories together. Below is a list of great movie titles that make great gifts this holiday.
“Angels and Demons”
“GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra”
“Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”
“The Proposal”
“Star Trek”
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”
“Up”
“The Hangover”
Sony Blu-Ray Player and Blu-Ray Discs- You can’t go wrong with upgrading someone on your list’s movie viewing experience. The Sony Blu-Ray player and Blu-Ray discs allow viewers to enjoy full 1080p high definition video and reveal the remarkable full performance of their HDTV.
Great TV on DVD- TV shows seem to have a cult following these days. Everyone has their favorite sitcoms they could watch over and over. Some people get hooked on a series after the first few seasons and have never seen the beginning shows. Giving TV series’ DVD box sets for the holidays is sure to please anyone on your list. Some popular series include:
“The Office”
“Desperate Housewives”
“Scrubs”
“Nip/Tuck”
“Brothers and Sisters”
“Closer”
Music- Purchasing a CD as a gift is great for those on your list that are constantly downloading the latest single but never buy themselves the full album. Unveil to them all of the great songs on the CD by giving them the entire album. Top CD gift ideas include:
Susan Boyle – “I Dreamed a Dream”
Andrea Bocelli- “My Christmas”
Carrie Underwood – “Play On”
Trans Siberian Orchestra – “Night Castle”
Nora Jones – “The Fall”
Owl City – “Ocean Eyes”
Books- If anyone on your list is traveling this holiday season books are a great gift idea. It is awful to be trapped in the car for hours on end and stuck in traffic on the drive to see family out of state. This year’s top titles will help pass the time.
Dan Brown – “Lost Symbol”
Michael Crichton – “Pirate Latitudes”
John Grisham – “Ford County”
Barbara Kingsolver – “The Lacuna”
Stephen King – “Under the Sun”
Sarah Palin – “Going Rogue”
For the Next Rock Star- Many entertainment specialty stores offer complete instrument packages for those looking to dive into learning a new instrument. For example, you could pick up a Fender Acoustic Guitar package with strap, picks, extra strings and a cleaning cloth, or a Gibson Maestro Electric Guitar package with amp, cable, picks, extra strings, strap and learn-to-play DVD for the rock star in training on your list. No extra stops needed when you shop at an entertainment specialty store to pick up the instrument and all of the accessories!
Video Games- Gaming systems are the gifts that keep giving all year round. Think of the system as the jumpstart to a charm bracelet. You can buy games, just as you do charms for the bracelet, to add to the system for every occasion throughout the year. The top video gaming systems include Playstation 3- 120 GB, Xbox 360 Elite and Nintendo Wii.
Entertainment specialty stores offer a wide selection of items to give to all of the people on your list this 2009 holiday season and, if you are really stuck, offer gifts cards to ensure everyone gets what they want.

Trans- Siberian Orchestra question.?
Trans- Siberian Orchestra question.?
I saw the TSO a few years ago. They are awesome. My family and some friends just bought eight tickets to see them again this December. I now realize, according to the schedule which places them in two different cities on the same day at the same times, that there are two companies now. I did a little reading and realized that both companies comprise of 24 musicians and the same amazing pyrotechnics as usual. My question is, I am going to the Pittsburg show…am I seeing the band that made the CDs, did they both? Will I not be able to tell the difference? Does anyone know?
Usually they split the actual band members between the two companies, so neither group has all the members. They get hired guns to fill in the other spots on each touring line-up.
And by the way, if you’re that big into Trans Siberian Orchestra, I would definitely track down the Savatage albums Edge of Thorns, Handful of Rain, Dead Winter Dead, and The Wake of Magellan. (Trans Siberian Orchestra started as a Savatage side project, and “Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12-24)” actually first appeared on Dead Winter Dead.)
If you end up loving those, then also try Poets and Madmen and Streets.
Okay, did some research: This year, the only main TSO member on the “West group” seems to be Al Pitrelli, whereas the “East group” has members Chris Caffery, Jeff Plate, Johnny Lee Middleton, AND Alex Skolnick (hells yeah).
Though the tours run confusingly sometimes, you are getting the East group in Pittsburgh (as am I, in Atlanta!)
Cheers, have fun, and rock on…
