• Diana Starter Kit

  

  2007 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

  Vintage plastic Diana cameras date back to the early ’60s, and are coveted by photographers for their dreamy, lo-fi effect. Originals go for $100 and up on eBay and are becoming increasingly scarce. Fortunately, the camera has been reissued (with a few upgrades) as the Diana+. If you know nothing about cameras, but need a gift for someone who’s into photography, this is a pretty good bet.

• Sigg Water Bottles

  

  PERFECT PICNIC GUIDE

  I adore this thing. It keeps tap water cool and crisp, reigns in my expensive and destructive plastic water bottle purchases, and helps me keep track of how much water I drink in a day. Also, the bottle opening is little, so I’m not constantly sloshing water all over myself while I’m on the treadmill. It comes in a kazillion colors and designs, but my favorite is the swirly black and white. Go get one.
