Remember in high school, how your parents were always on your back about no procrastinating? Maybe it is time you took their advice. The first week of October is never too early to get started on your Christmas list! Well, by pulling a few strings (and a little bribery), “The Naked Truth” was able to sneak into Santa’s workshop and get the scoop on the must have gadgets and gizmos this holiday season.

If you are the kind of person who wears your heart on your sleeve, well now you can do it literally, and make a fashion statement at the same time. Smoy Photo Cuffs are $25 vinyl bracelets that allow the trendsetter to slide artwork or photographs of friends and loved ones into its sleeves. There are a variety of styles to check out at photocuff.com.

Sick of your outdated, original Nokia cell phone? Why not upgrade to a t-mobile Mr. Cartoon Edition Sidekick 2. This special edition cell phone/camera with e-mail and instant messaging capability allows user to access TiVo and Netflix. This phone of the stars (remember Paris’ celebrity call list scandal) was designed by Travis Barker and Ludacris’ infamous tattoo artist, Mr. Cartoon. It is as artistic as a tattoo, just not as permanent. And while you are updating your cell, go to Mobilbliss.com and download the “Brady Bunch Kung fu” game. Only $7.49 for unlimited play, the 70’s uber-family faces off against each other; Cindy’s Kitty Carry-All Attack is a personal favorite.

For those “nonconformist”, looking to be “edgy”, like everyone else, Santa has the perfect gifts for you. Electroboutique.com has designed a television that looks like a cross between an atom and old school Nickelodeon’s Gak. The Teleblaster allows the viewer to transform the image on screen by changing it’s colors, screeching and elongating the picture, in addition to a normal viewing mode. This $1,999 television will definitely be on Clarissa and Pee-Wee’s list.

Along with the Teleblaster, another unique item that should top your list is the Violet Nabaztag. This nine-inch-tall plastic rabbit is an Internet lover’s dream pet. For $114, this bunny communicates with its owner by wiggling its ears, talking and singing over 7,000 songs available at violet.net. Also, your new pet notifies you when have e-mail, and when your friends are online. She is basically “Hello Kitty” with a college degree meets “Furby” minus the fur.

Finally, for those who haven’t been sucked into the iPod craze and still own CDs, Skipdr Automax is for you. For only $39.90, this amazing machine buffs and fixes all scratches on your discs that cause skipping or freezing problems. This Digital Innovations product works wonders on CDs, DVDs, video games and computer discs.

Now that you have a head start on your list, be sure to send it home to Mommy and Daddy with a nice note to take their own advice and start shopping soon. Add a few Xs and Os and an “I love you”; and hopefully under your tree will be the place to be December 25. And, you may want to add a, “P.S. This is just list, Volume one.”
