Apple iPad Mini — "It's close to perfect because it combines the lightness and portability of the iPhone with the functionality and capabilities of the original iPads. I believe how we access the Internet on the go will forever change with this device because, like our phones are today, it'll always be with us."
$429 for 32 GB, available at Apple.

The Brooklyn Kitchen Cooking Classes — "For me, experiences and the memories they create almost always trump a physical gift. One of my favorite pastimes is cooking, so this is close to a perfect gift because it's both an experience in itself and it will lead to many more wonderful experiences when I cook (and eat) what I learn."
starting from $30, available The Brooklyn Kitchen.
