After all, you can’t spend every free moment shopping.

For the Angler
The most innovative lure on the market, the Clackin’ Rap from Rapala, is a must-have for every fishing enthusiast on your list. Straight out of the wrapping paper, the Clackin’ Rap will excel in all fishing applications. Cast it, troll it, jig it in deep water, buzz it fast under the surface -- no matter how this lure is fished, anglers will catch big fish. Suggested retail price: $9.99.
For the Motorcycle Enthusiast
Just because the enthusiast on your list is rough and tough on the outside doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate soft and comfortable. Enter the Skull Hooded Pullover from Harley-Davidson MotorClothes. It looks tough with the emblematic skull embroidered across its back, but it’s also comfortable and warm enough to make even the biggest biker Grinch happy while waiting for warm weather to return. Suggested retail price: $60 to $65, available at your local Harley-Davidson dealer.
For the Dog Lover
The cost of professional dog grooming can seem like a luxury in today’s rapidly changing economy. Now dog lovers can save money by giving their dog a professional quality bath at home between grooming visits. In just three minutes, they can transform their dirty dog into a clean and huggable hound with the HydroSurge RapidBath pet bathing system. The RapidBath system makes dog bathing easier and faster and lets dog owners give their pet a cleaner, healthier bath at home -- even indoors during the heart of the winter.
It combines a constant supply of fresh water, shampoo and air to deep clean the dog’s coat, and actively wash away dirt, loose hair and dander without scrubbing. Just insert the shampoo, hook it up inside in a shower or to a hose outside, and spray. It costs $69.99 and is available at PetSmart stores nationwide.
For the Humanitarian
This person may have the weight of the world's problems on their shoulders: from global poverty to world hunger. For these passionate people, the best gifts keep others in mind.
