No GIS geek should be without one of these.. an Earth Globe for your garden.  Made of blown glass, it looks pretty spiffy.  And they say it even glows at night (though the reviews I have read say otherwise).

Look for that last minute present idea for the GIS person that has everything?  Get “Our Dumb World: Atlas Of The Planet Earth” from The Onion Store.

The Onion provides you, the elite consumer who actually reads books, a bound, beautifully illustrated hardcover archive of all the world’s accumulated knowledge. Carry it with you when you travel in order to make sense of the strange cultures and frightening cuisine of other nations. 256 pages, hardcover. Maps courtesy of DK Maps.

Well, in the US, the Black Friday ads are all out now.  And while at work tonight I did look through them all and just about EVERY store is having specials on GPS units.  Even clothing stores are selling GPS units this weekend with the average lowed price being $79 after mail-in rebates.  The most common unit being offered is the Nextar brand, seconded by Garmin units.  Best Buy has the most offerings of GPS units with low(er) Black Friday pricing.
