Ready or not, it's that time of year again. All of Santa's willing, and not-so-willing, helpers come out of the woodwork and begin to poke around for the perfect holiday gift.

Being an ardent collector myself, there are a few things I couldn't do without. Of course, I didn't really know how much I needed them until I got them. You know how it goes.
