With Christmas right around the corner, I thought I'd mention a few items that would make a great gift for Christmas or any other occasion. Since this is the "Pampered Pirate", these items have either a body/mind theme or pirate/travel theme with the exception of the book, "All Rise". This book was written by a local author and it's a great crime/drama that also gives a glimpse of what it was like to live in the aftermath of "Hurricane Katrina". Since I'm a New Orleans native that survived the hurricane, I thought I'd mention this book and great local author. Also, I thought I'd mention the book "Bumfuzzle", which was written by a cruising couple in their 30's who had no prior sailing experience. I love following their blog! I haven't read their book, but it is on my "wish list"!
