f your child needs help
with motor skills or feels
anxious around loud
noises, the perfect toy is
still out there.
In her book, Smart Play
Smart Toys: How to Raise a
Child with a High PQ (Play
Quotient), San Francisco toy
expert Stevanne Auerbach,
known as Dr. Toy, has a list
of questions to consider when
buying toys for kids with
special needs.
Parents may want to
consider which physical
activities a child needs help
with and which muscles
need strengthening, as well
as whether a child follows
visual cues and responds
to sounds. When thinking
about mental and emotional
development, they can think
about whether a child looks
in the mirror, understands
directions and notices
letters.
If customers come with
a list of needs, they dont
need to have a specific toy in
mind, say Lisa Gallegos and
Cariad Owen, co-managers
at Out of the Blue on Rio
Grande NW. They are used
to scouring the store for just
the right toy for every child.
We just have to be
creative, Gallegos says.
At Out of the Blue, many
customers want toys for kids
on the autism spectrum,
such as kids who dont like
overstimulation with loud
noises. Gallegos and Owen
suggest the Meteor Storm,
a novelty toy for $7.99 that
creates a soothing sound as it
lights up.
Kids with autism often
have tactile sensitivities.
Classic pin art toys for $19.99
let kids press their hands
against pins and make
designs.
Kids really like the feeling
of it, says Gallegos.
In an email message,
Auerbach recommends
soft, stimulating toys like
puppets and dolls for kids
with autism, as well as toys
that incorporate music or
construction toys.
At Learning is Fun, a store
for educators and families,
on Menaul NE, manager
Shelby Richardson says
Point to Happy: A Book
for Kids on the Autism
Spectrum by Miriam
Smith and Afton Fraser is a
popular read. Children use
a plastic hand to point to
photographs of other kids.
The book, which costs $19.95,
is designed to help children
recognize emotions and
make connections.
While many toys are used
by children with disabilities,
Learning is Fun also
carries products designed
specifically for kids with
special needs. Products
include texture squares that
let kids explore materials
and weighted police vests for
children with autism. When
kids fidget or need hand
therapy, Richardson suggests
calming animal Squeezies
for $2.99.
Learning is Fun also
has tools to improve
reading skills. Colored
transparencies used over a
page can help with dyslexia,
she says.
Whispy, a reading tool for
$8.99, is designed to improve
pronunciation. A rubber tube
held like a phone lets kids
read out loud by whispering
in one end and hearing
themselves in the other.
When kids need help with
language, Gallegos and
Owen suggest Tell Tale for
$12.99, picture cards that
encourage kids to tell their
own stories.
To improve problem-
solving and spatial skills,
they like Magnetic Mighty
Mind for $22.99. Kids use
magnets to make patterns
on their own or use cards for
suggestions.
Children with visual
impairments enjoy
tactile toys they can
manipulate, Auerbach
writes. Richardson suggests
musical instruments like
tambourines or clay.
Kids who are hard of
hearing may like visual
toys like puzzles, matching
games and construction toys,
Auerbach suggests.
Learning is Fun also
has videos and flashcards
for families interested in
learning sign language.
Larger sizes
In general, when buying
products for children
with physical disabilities,
larger sizes are easier to
control, says Richardson.
She suggests large TriWrite
Crayons, $7.99 for a pack of
six pyramid-shaped crayons.
The smaller the item, the
harder it is to grasp, she
says.
Children with physical
disabilities also may benefit
from toys that respond to
sound or by hitting them,
according to Auerbach.
Gift buyers should consider
how far a child can reach or
interact when buying toys.
Many toys are fun for a
variety of special needs.
Wire and bead toys let kids
push beads along the turns
of a wire. A blind child gains
tactile stimulation, while
a child with cerebral palsy
might use the toy to gain
confidence.
For a similar range of uses,
Richardson likes the classic
wooden abacus for $19.99, a
new product at Learning is
Fun. It can help kids with
math skills, colors and
patterns and provide visual
and tactile stimulation.
Building toys are also
fun for kids with a range
of needs, say Owen and
Gallegos. Wedgits, multi-
dimensional plastic building
blocks, help with sensory,
motor and logic skills as
children learn which shapes
fit together. A starter kit
costs $24.99 at Out of the
Blue.
Toobers & Zots, $24.99
at Out of the Blue, is a
construction toy made from
soft foam that can help
build strength and give kids
creative license to make
whatever they like, they say.
For all kids, Richardson
suggests Gertie Balls
ranging from $4.99-$9.99.
The soft, squishy balls are
easy to catch and can be used
indoors. Gertie Knobbie balls
have soft bumps that make
them easier to handle for
kids who have trouble with
dexterity.

An Educo wood abacus, which can
help kids improve math skills and

For the Journal
P
earls have enjoyed a
blue jeans-to-evening
gown versatility for
years, but todays new
colors and styles make them
even more fashionable than
ever and promise something
to please any taste.
From a classic white
strand necklace to a
multicolored bracelet to a
pendant or earrings, pearls
are a perfect gift this holiday
season, local jewelers say.
Theyre a fantastic gift
because they go with any
outfit a woman can consider
wearing, says Eric Shelton,
president of Shelton Jewelers
in Albuquerque.
You can never go wrong
giving a pearl gift to
anybody.
Bernie Butterfield of
Butterfield Jewelers agrees.
Pearls are one of the things
that never, ever go out of
style, the Albuquerque
pearl expert says. Day in,
day out, you can wear them
for the most dressy to the
most casual occasion.
Many different types of
pearls are available now,
from natural to cultured,
round to cross-shaped and
classic white to bright red.
Most pearls sold today
are cultured pearls, created
when a foreign body is
inserted into the tissue
of an oyster or mollusk.
Freshwater cultured pearls
grow in mollusks in lakes
and rivers in China; each
mollusk can produce up to 50
pearls at a time. Freshwater
pearls also can be color-
enhanced to appear in colors
from chocolate brown to
vivid red and can be grown
in different shapes, such as
a cross.
Saltwater cultured pearls,
on the other hand, are
produced individually in
oysters and are rarer, of
higher quality rounder
and with a higher luster
and more valuable. Akoya
pearls come in creams,
pinks, whites and silvers.
Tahitian pearls, grown in
the South Pacific, are the
only naturally black pearls.
Meanwhile, large golden or
white South Sea pearls are
prized for their size, beauty
and rarity.
Human-made pearls have
never seen the inside of a
mollusk and are made from
a glass bead coated in a fish
scale-and-polymer material.
Every price range
Pearl jewelry prices vary
as widely as the types of
pearls available.
There are pearls in
really any price range a
customer is looking for,
says Ron Beauchamp, owner
of Beauchamp Jewelers in
Albuquerque.
Beauchamp carries stretch
bracelets made from 10 mm
Chinese cultured pearls for
about $30, for example, but
also offers a 17-inch strand
of black Tahitian pearls
for $6,160. At Butterfield,
a strand of Akoya pearls
sells for $695 to $5,000 for
the large 9 mm beads while
a pearl drop necklace runs
from $195 to $695.
Local stores have plenty of
selection from affordable to
extravagant, and choices are
plentiful in the under $500
category, Beauchamp says.
Some popular pearl
fashions this year include
15-inch choker-length
necklaces; strands of
multi-colored pearls, either

natural or dyed; lariat
necklaces with two dangling
pearls; pearl earrings or
pendants accentuated with
diamonds; and the Tin Cup
necklace made popular by
actress Rene Russo with
pearls every two inches on a
chain, local jewelers say.
We used to think of pearls
as plain white beads. Well,
the pearl world has changed
dramatically, Beauchamp
says. The classics are not
out by any means, but these
bolder, more fashion-forward
looks are more popular these
days.
Celebrities and public
figures such as first lady
Michelle Obama have been
wearing pearls in layers, for
example sometimes mixing
colors and shapes.
Remember this
When it comes to choosing
pearls, consider several
factors. Price, of course, is
important. But to assess
quality, buyers should look
first at the roundness of the
pearls, the color and the size.
Pearls that are uniformly
spherical are the most
valuable. Likewise for pink
rose pearls, Shelton says.
Larger pearls generally are
worth more than smaller
ones. To get really large
pearls, choose freshwater; the
saltwater pearls generally do
not grow as large.
Another factor to consider
is the surface look of the
pearl.
You do not want a pearl,
if you can avoid it, that has
spots or blemishes, Shelton
says.
He adds that the luster,
or nacre thickness, also is
important. Pearls with a
thicker nacre, or coating,
have been cultured longer,
are more beautiful and
more durable. Pearls with
a thinner nacre can peel or
chip.
In addition, pearls always
should be strung on silk
and individually knotted to
prevent abrasion, Shelton
says.
Beauchamp also
recommends matching
pearl colors to the wearers
complexion. Someone with
fair or pink-toned skin will
look good in rose or white
pearls while someone with a
warmer complexion will do
better with gold- or green-
hued pearls, he says.
Like all jewelry, its
important to trust whoever
youre buying from,
Beauchamp says.

Wear and care
To make the most of
any gift of pearl jewelry,
consider passing along a
few tips on pearl care, says
Eric Shelton, president of
Shelton Jewelers.
n Pearls can be damaged by
cosmetics such as perfume
and hair spray and by body
oils. So, pearls should
be the last thing to go on
before leaving the house.
Once back home, take the
pearls off and wipe them
with a soft, moist cloth,
then put them carefully away
where they wont rub against
other jewelry.
n Every six months to a year,
soak pearls for 10 to 15
minutes in a cup of warm
water with one cap of mild
detergent such as Woolite.
Then rinse and dry, Shelton
says.
n Every two or three years,
its important to have pearls
restrung because the silk
strand acts like a wick,
drawing in oils and other
materials that can destroy
pearls from the inside out.
n If pearls are not cared
for properly, they will get a
chalky, yellowish look over
time, Shelton says.

tured pearls and diamonds by

For the Journal
J
udges across the
country are discovering
just how tasty wine
made from grapes
nurtured in New Mexicos
long sunny days and cool
nights can be.
Several local wineries say
their award-winning wines
are a delightful way to share
some bottled New Mexico
sunshine with friends and
family for holiday giving.
It really boosts our
confidence in the grapes
that were growing, says
Daniel Gonzales, graphics
supervisor at Southwest
Wines, the Deming vineyard
and winery that produces
wines under eight labels
including St. Clair, Blue Teal
and D.H. Lescombes. The
wine is available through
many retailers as well as the
St. Clair Winery and Bistro
on Rio Grande NW.
Judges at the 2011 San
Francisco Chronicle
competition most
recently named St. Clair
Gewrztraminer as the
best white wine from 5,000
entries, Gonzales says.
Its the second time weve
gotten a sweepstake award. It
feels like were starting to be
recognized, Gonzales adds.
In 2009 the same
competition gave a best
of show to a 2007 D.H.
Lescombes Cabernet Franc
Limited Release. The awards
are two of three dozen best of
show awards that the winery
has garnered as well as more
than 80 gold medals.
Credit goes to both the
climate and condition of our
vineyard as well as to the
extreme care our winemaker
takes to make sure these
wines are everything they
can be, Gonzales says.
A bottle of
Gewrztraminer, described
as tasting of ripe apricots and
spice, with lingering hints of
green apple, is $12, while a
bottle of the premium label
D.H. Lescombes is about $24.
Gonzales says that the Blue
Teal label is popular during
the holidays and offers a
little sweeter sip of wine for
about $10 a bottle.
Join a club
For people who love
tastings and trying different
wines, a three-month
gift membership to the
Southwest Wines Clubs is
$115 and includes two bottles
of wine a month for three
months, free wine flight
tastings as well as 20 percent
off at the bistros, Gonzales
says.
For people who like more
bubbly in their bottle,
Gruet Winery, with its
headquarters and tasting
room on Pan American
Freeway NE, specializes in
sparkling wines.
Lori Anne McBride, an
ambassador at Gruet Winery,
says Wine Spectator recently
awarded Blanc de Noirs, a
$13.75 bottle of sparkling
wine, 90 points (out of 100) in
a blind taste test.
The magazine at
winespectator.com has said
that it challenges anyone to
find a sparkling wine, even
at three times the price, that
tastes as good.
Gruet also has won many
awards for its other wines
including its Brut, McBride
says.
She says a good way to
give a gift of a Gruet wine,
sparkling or still, is in a gift
basket that averages about
$60 or $80 and contains
wine, wine accessories and
gourmet New Mexican food
to complement the wine.
Another way to please
wine lovers is to give them a
wine club membership. For
about $80 every other month,
members of Le Club des Vins
receive two hand-selected
bottles by winemaker
Laurent Gruet, McBride
says. Free flights of tastings
when visiting the winery are
included as well as special
events and a 10 percent
discount on all Gruet wines,
she adds.
Casa Rondea Winery in
Albuquerques North Valley
also has a wine club, says
Karen Hueston, tasting room
manager.
Many levels of membership
are available, but the
Clarion Club, for example,
is $39 every other month
and includes two bottles of
wine, free tastings for two
people when visiting, use
of the patio for picnics and
special members-only events,
she says. A minimum of six
months is required for a gift
membership.
Holiday favorites
Hueston says the award-
winning 2007 Meritage, $25
a bottle, is a favorite of many
palates and would make a
great gift for someone who
enjoys red wine. A blend of
50 percent merlot, 30 percent
cabernet franc and
20 percent cabernet
sauvignon, Meritage offers
a complex taste with a
lingering finish with flavors
of vanilla, blackberries,
chocolate and currant, she
says.
For white wine lovers, she
suggests a 2010 Viognier,
$23 a bottle, described as
an off-dry white wine thats
a little sweet with bright
melon flavors and a lingering
apricot finish. It pairs well
with spicy New Mexican
dishes, she says.
For a gift that honors the
New Mexico winemaking
tradition, Hueston
recommends a toast with
1629, $39 a bottle. The name
suggests the year that some
of the first wine grapes were
planted in New Mexico.
The red wine blends spicy
tempranillo, syrah and
cabernet sauvignon.

W
hen it comes to New
Mexicans who love
chile, Francesca Kay
is at the top of the
list. More than 20 years ago she
started putting together recipes for
chile fruit salsas, regular salsas
and chile sauces to sell at her
Albuquerque store Chile Addict
(chileaddict.com).
Located at 325 Eubank NE, this
28-year-old business sells foods
made with chile and items for the
home that are inspired by New
Mexicos beloved state vegetable.
For a holiday gift for the chile
lover in your life, check out Chile
Addicts varied selection.
Chile Addicts fruit salsa comes
in three kinds: peach with green
chile, mango pineapple with red
jalapeo and papaya peach with
red jalapeo. Kay offers 10 different
kinds of chile sauces, ranging
in temperature from medium to
extremely hot. They are sold in
16-ounce jars for $4.99.
Some people complain that
chile is not hot enough, which is
why I came up with Chile Addicts
Revenge Hot Sauce, she says. You
only need a drop in a pot of stew. Its
that hot.
Some of Kays other sauce
varieties are Thermonuclear
Meltdown Hot Sauce, which has
four different kinds of peppers;
Chipotle & Honey Hot Sauce, which
has a smoky flavor; and 2 Pepper
& Honey Hot Sauce, which has
cayenne and jalapeo peppers in it.
Jar sizes range from 5 ounces to
16 ounces and cost between $4.99
and $5.99.
Chile Addicts regular salsas
($4.99; 16-ounce jars) come in eight
different varieties, with some
containing fresh garlic. The hottest
one of the bunch is the Habanero
Salsa, which is made with New
Mexico-grown habanero chiles.
All of Chile Addicts salsas and
sauces are made in Santa Fe.
Chile inspired
Among the large selection of
chile-inspired household items at
Chile Addict is the microwave-safe
Red Chile Ceramic Kitchenware
that is made in New Mexico. The
store offers bright red canisters,
dishes, tea pots, napkin holders,
soap dispensers, tortilla warmers,
plates, ladles and sugar bowls.
Some of them are shaped like
chiles. They range in price from
$2.99 to $49.99.
An ever-changing and growing
selection of chile products and
chile-inspired items is for sale at
Chile Traditions (chiletraditions.
com), which is located at 8204
Montgomery NE in Albuquerque.
Owner Ken DeWees is happy to
have his employees put together a
gift box of products that will delight
family members and friends.
In addition to a large selection
of frozen, dried and canned chile
products, including a new line of
mini hot sauces, DeWees sells all
kinds of knickknacks that enhance
a chile-lovers collection.
Check out the chile-shaped salsa
dish ($24.95), chile-shaped toothpick
holders ($6.95), chile-shaped salt
and pepper shakers ($11.95), chile-
shaped storage canisters ($119.95
for 4) and the chile-shaped cookie
jar ($31.95). Some of these ceramic,
microwave-safe products are made
in New Mexico.
Scents and scenes
Chile Traditions also sells
colorful posters ($18.95) that
feature pictures of different kinds
of chiles and hot sauces and tidbits
of interesting information about
chiles. Vanilla-scented candles
($10.95) decorated with chile
designs add a festive glow to the
holiday season.
Old Town Emporium (old-town-
emporium.com) at 204 San Felipe
NW in Albuquerque has a Bite Me
chile pepper T-shirt ($9.99) with a
picture of a big red chile on it for
people who want the world to know
about the red chile pepper. The
store also sells Bite Me chile pepper
socks for adults ($5.99), which are
red and black and have images of
red chiles on them, and Hot Stuff
socks ($4.99) decorated with chiles.
Among the stores specialty items
are candles with red chiles carved
into them ($8.99 and $19.99) and
red, green, yellow and purple chile-
shaped Christmas light covers
(20 cents each) that fit over
standard Christmas lights.
The Christmas Shop
(christmasinoldtown.com) at 400
Romero St. NW in Albuquerque is
also a good source for chile light
covers. The store sells chile pepper
light covers over a set of 35 lights
($13) in colors including red, purple,
green and yellow. Its 10-inch long
lighted chile ristras ($19.95) have
35 covered lights and a raffia bow.
They hang well on doors or on the
wall of any room in the house.
A chile-inspired gift that
decorates the Christmas tree is
The Christmas Shops tin chile
ornament ($4.25). More than
5 inches long, this red chile
ornament comes with a story card
about bringing good luck to the
first child who finds it on the tree
on Christmas morning.

For the Journal
H
elp gear up the anglers on your
holiday shopping list with gadgets,
rods and reels they can use the next
time they make a trip to their favorite
fishing spot.
The newest fly rod on the market is the Sage
One, which is hand-crafted, dramatically
lighter and made of graphite, and its one that
longtime anglers will appreciate, says Cindy
Sawyer, an owner of Los Pinos Fly and Tackle
Shop in northeast Albuquerque. The price
depends on the size but its about $720, Sawyer
says.
Chuck Domenici, who runs the fishing
department at Charlies Sporting Goods on
Menaul Northeast, agrees that the Sage One
is the hottest fly-fishing rod out this holiday
season. This particular fly rod is not only
lightweight but it fits many casting styles, he
says.
Reels that go well with the Sage One fly rod
are the Sage 4500 series, which range in price
from $375 to $425, and are found at Charlies.
At Los Pinos, Sawyer recommends the Galvan
Rush Light reel, which is $260.
For those in need of reels, Tige Butt, fishing
manager at Sportsmans Warehouse, says the
Lamson Velocity 2 fly reel is all-machined
aluminum and made in the USA. It comes with
a lifetime warranty, and costs $249.
The Shimano Chronarch, a bait-casting reel
that an experienced bass fisherman would
appreciate, costs about $200.
The Redington Pursuit fly-fishing combo
includes a rod, a pre-spooled reel with
backing, line and leader, and a storage case to
keep it all in.
We sell the heck out of them, Butt says.
Prices range from $119 to $179 for the set.
Great gadgets
For those looking to have luck finding a
fresh catch of the day every time, there is the
Lowrance Fish Finder Model HDS-5 Lake.
This gadget keeps track of where fish are, and
helps the captain find his/her way back to the
hot spot, Butt says. The GPS ability helps map
out where the best places to find fish are on
the lake. Its about $750.
Sawyer of Los Pinos says anglers can always
use a fly box for carrying the flies while out on
the water, and the boxes by the Montana Fly
Co., $19.95, are very decorative and colorful.
She suggests including a dozen flies, which
cost $25 for a dozen, she says. Customers can
mix and match, and pick the flies they want
for gift-giving.
She adds that the store offers a punch card
for customers. After purchasing four dozen
within a year, the fifth is free.
Theyre good for any angler, Sawyer says.
Theyre all going to need them in order to
fish.
At Charlies, the fishing department carries
an assortment of flies, and the staff there
makes custom kits of flies for particular
fishing areas in New Mexico whether its in
the northern or southern Rockies, the Jemez
area or the San Juan River.
Those are always big for Christmas,
Domenici says.
Going in?
Another item anglers will appreciate is a
protective, long-sleeve, vented shirt. They
range in styles and cost $40 to $79 at Los Pinos.
Waders are a necessity for anglers who
likely will find themselves at least knee-
deep in one creek or another. The Simms G3
chest waders are made of Gore-Tex and cost
$429. Domenici says the waders are ideal for
conventional fishermen and those who plan on
wading in a river. Theyre puncture-resistant,
lightweight and breathable, and they wont
chafe legs.
The Simms Rivershed wading boots, paired
with the waders will keep legs and feet dry.
They cost $179.95.
In addition, Sawyer says that one gift idea
for businesses is to rent equipment for fishing
trips for their staff.
We can outfit them and they can enjoy a
day in the wilderness, she says.
An anglers also going to need some place to
fit all the flies and gadgetry associated with
the sport. The Redington Clark Fork vest is
$29.95, and is a good all-around fishing vest,
Domenici says.
A tackle box by Plano is about $50 at
Sportsmans Warehouse, and has plenty of
storage for a weekend fishing getaway, Butt
says.
Inexpensive finds
Here are some stocking stuffer ideas:
n The Tie-Fast Knot Tier tool, which helps
in tying line to a leader or one line to another
kind of line.
(It) gives you a couple of extra fingers, Butt
says. It costs $7 at Sportsmans Warehouse.
n Tie-Fast Folding Scissors, $8, also at
Sportsmans Warehouse, are a handy tool for
trimming off line or a lure.
They fold up nice and compact, Butt says.
Theyre not going to poke you anywhere.
n And just in case you dont know the ins and
outs of knot-tying, The Little Red Fishing
Knot Book will come in handy. Its small
enough to carry in a pocket while on a fishing
trip. It costs $5.95.
n Hikers and others walking through a
slippery area will find a Zephr Collapsible
Wading Staff help them stay steady. The staff
folds up to a little over a foot long and comes
with a pouch. Its $33. Butt says they fit well
hanging off a belt or tucked inside a backpack.
n Los Pinos carries bass lures for fishermen,
which cost $7 to $20 each. Those are perfect
stocking stuffers, Sawyer says.
n When walking in the dark on a mountain
trail, a ball cap with built-in LED lights on the
bill could be better than lugging a flashlight.
The hats cost $17.95 at Charlies.
n Keep a fishing rod safe and standing
upright while readying for fishing with a
Magnetic Rod Guard. It keeps the rod off the
ground and safe until youre ready to head for
the water. Its $8.95 at Charlies.
Still fishing?
Anglers will love latest lightweight rods, cool reels
and useful gadgets
Ball caps with built-in LED lights leave
hands free. Theyre $17.95 to $18.95 at
Charlies Sporting Goods.
A fly box by Montana Fly Co. is $19.95 at
Los Pinos Fly and Tackle Shop.
An assortment of bass lures at Los Pinos
Fly and Tackle Shop range from $7 to $20
each.
A Sage
4500
series reel
is $400 at
Charlies
Sporting
Goods.

P
ets are a part of the family,
so, obviously, they should
be included in any type of
gift exchange that takes
part during the holidays.
Fortunately, there is no
shortage of gift ideas for
pets and/or pet owners in
Albuquerque. Whether you have
a home full of fish or a couple of
pups that sleep on the foot of the
bed at night, there are plenty of
options to
make them
feel loved
during the
holidays.
If your
dogs are
little
princes and
princesses,
ABQ
Dogtown on
Rio Grande
NW has
the perfect
apparel to
have them
looking
fabulous.
ABQ Dogtown is a consignment
shop with new and gently used
merchandise; all the items
mentioned here are new.
Smoochers, holiday dog
necklaces, come in several
different colors and are treated
like a temporary holiday collar.
They are available for $4 to $6.
For pups that like to look
their best, sweaters, T-shirts,
dresses and other dog clothes are
available ranging in price from
$2 to $25.
One-of-a-kind, handmade,
canopy beds are also available
in any style, pattern or material
desired from polka dots to a
Dallas Cowboys theme.
They are handmade and have
curtains, lace and a pillow,
says Chad Autry, ABQ Dogtown
co-owner.
The beds are $120.
Looking for K-9 stocking
stuffers? Unique treats made
from ostrich, alligator, elk and
yak are available for only $1.50.
They are all natural and give
the dog a little different flavor
than they are used to, Autry
says. There are no preservatives
and are made
from, for
example, elk
heart, liver
and meat and
rolled into a
jerky strip
then coated
with teriyaki
sauce to give
that extra
little flavor.
Deer and
elk antlers
are also
available
as a unique
treat, ranging
in price from 75 cents to $30,
depending on size.
Decorated cookies
Dogs that have a more delicate
palate may enjoy handmade
cookies from Pet Vet Market on
Montgomery NE.
In our industry, dog cookies
are really big, says Tom
McDonald, Pet Vet owner. We
have a bakery counter and
have all types of cookies made
from 100 percent human-grade
ingredients. Each is made and
decorated by hand.

COURTESY OF CLARKS PET
EMPORIUM
The feather lure is replace-
able on Da Bird, $6.99, a cat
toy at Clarks Pet Emporium.
Cookies are $1.99.
The hottest dog toy out
right now is Skinneeez, a
plush dog toy that is void of
all stuffing.
Most dogs tear the
stuffing out of the toy, so
they already have it out
with just the skin and a few
squeakers, says Rachel
Pridham, assistant manager
at Clarks Pet Emporium,
which has two Albuquerque
locations (one on Menaul NE
and another on Lomas NE).
They are really excellent
and come in fun shapes. They
are neat for the owners and
dogs love them.
Skinneeez are available at
Clarks ranging in price from
$8 to $14.
For the active dog and
owner, a Fleash makes an
excellent gift.
The product is a ball and
toy slinger as well as a
leash and carrying system
available at Clarks for $35.69.
Its great for people who go
to the dog park and play with
their dogs outside, Pridham
says.
Gift certificates are
available at Pet Vet for do-it-
yourself dog washes ($16) as
well as pictures with your
pet, of any type, with Santa
($20).
For the felines
For cat lovers, Da Bird
comes highly recommended
by Pridham.
It is a wand with a
swiveling feather toy on
the end that cats go crazy
for, she says. The feather
lures are replaceable, which
makes the toy fun for the cat
and easily renewable for the
owner.
Da Bird is $6.99 at Clarks.
The Deluxe Wildcat Tower
is a 55-inch tower with three
levels, a rope to scratch and
several cat toys to play with.
It is available for $179 at
PetSmart, which has three
Albuquerque stores.
Birds need love too.
Clarks offers all-natural
toys for birds made from
straw and other natural
fibers, dyed with food
coloring, and are completely
safe for birds. The Living
World products are available
for $12 to $20.
For those who are just
starting their love of birds,
a parakeet starter kit is
available at PetSmart for
$59.99.
The kit comes complete
with the cage, perches,
bedding, food, a toy and a
mineral treat.
This kit comes with
everything you need to get
started, says Phillip Toppo,
PetSmart pet care manager.
Fins and gills
For those who favor the
finned critters, a new fish
tank system is flying off the
shelves.
The Fluval Edge is a
6-gallon aquarium with
a completely built-in and
hidden filtration and lighting
system and is available for
$149.99 at Clarks.
It gives a very modern
appearance and is
aesthetically pleasing and
it fits very well into small
apartments, Pridham says.
Gifts for smaller critters
are also available, such
as Run-About balls for
hamsters, gerbils and mice,
which allow the animals
to scurry around the home
safely, in a ball of any
color. The Run-Abouts are
available at PetSmart for
$4.49 to $24.99, depending on
the size.
For those wanting to
begin a relationship with
a small critter, a two-level
CritterTrail is available at
PetSmart for $39.99.
The hamster habitat comes
equipped with food and water
dishes, a wheel, and two
areas for the animal to run
around.
Toys, treats keep
cats, dogs happy

By Rick Nathanson
Journal Staff Writer
W
e may live in the era
of digital downloads,
but we still generate
enough paper to need a
way to carry it around with us.
Long live the briefcase! There are
lots of gift choices out there for your
favorite businessperson.
The type of briefcase you carry
can make a statement about
fashion, occupation, success or
tradition. For most, however, the
statement is about the practicality
of not only carting around papers
and files, but also about how
to safely schlep around laptop
computers, electronic tablets and
other digital devices.
The biggest and newest trend
in briefcases, and in some cases
backpacks, is a design that allows
them to quickly pass through
airport security checkpoints
without having to remove the
computer, says Dustin Boyd,
manager at Liebers Luggage in
Albuquerque.
That feature is marketed as
SpeedThru, Security Fast
Pass, ScanFast, ScanSmart,
Express Scan and the like,
depending on the manufacturer. All
have to meet specific checkpoint-
friendly requirements established
by the Transportation Security
Administration, or TSA.
Hard vs. soft
Softside briefcases can be made
from leather, which imparts a
more traditional and elegant look
and feel, Boyd says. They also
can be constructed from nylon or
polyester. The better fabric ones
are made from ballistic grade,
Teflon-coated nylon, Boyd says.
Hardside briefcases are often
made from impact-resistant plastic
or aluminum, sometimes covered
with leather. Some hardside cases
are formed from thick, hard leather
stretched over a structural wood
frame to give it shape.
The prices of briefcases vary
widely depending on material,
quality, style, features and
manufacturer. Simple soft-style
computer briefcases start at
about $25 at the large discount
department stores, and go up to
$500 and more at high-end specialty
shops, like Liebers Luggage, and
fashion boutiques.
Briefcase styles fall into several
general categories: portfolios/
padfolios, attachs, computer bags,
travel cases and messenger bags.
A portfolio is designed to hold
papers in a thin, flat case. They
are lightweight and easy to hold
by hand or tucked under an arm,
so they rarely have handles. Nor
do they have a designated laptop
compartment. Portfolios are less
expensive and commonly used by
students.
Attach cases are typically
rectangular, hardside briefcases.
An attach opens up into two
compartments. They usually do
not have a padded compartment for
a laptop, although some include a
removable padded laptop envelope.
They frequently have some kind of
organizer panel for pens, business
cards, a calculator, eyeglasses and
such. Attach cases often close
with locking spring latches, and
for added security, some have
tumble dial combination locks,
particularly the aluminum cases.
Computer bags are most often
soft briefcases with a dedicated
padded computer compartment.
They are also likely to have several
non-padded compartments, an
organizer panel and a detachable
shoulder strap.
Travel briefcases can be leather
but are more often fabric. They
have a dedicated padded computer
compartment and an organizer
panel. Most have an expander
gusset that zips open, allowing for
additional interior space to hold a
change of clothing.
Messenger bags are softside
bags made from fabric or leather.
They generally have a large
compartment to hold and transport
papers and files, but also may have
a padded laptop compartment. The
defining characteristic is a large
shoulder strap allowing the carrier
to wear the bag diagonally across
the back.
On the case: Portfolios, attachs make a statement
COURTESY OF SWISS GEAR
The Swiss Gear Messenger is a
flap-over design softside polyester
travel briefcase with a TSA-friendly
ScanSmart padded computer
compartment. At Target, $60.
COURTESY OF VICTORINOX
The Victorinox Wright portfolio is
a nylon zip-around case with a built-
in writing station and organizer.
$60 at Liebers Luggage.
COURTESY OF SOLO
The Solo Rolling Laptop Case fea-
tures a large main compartment
with a removable padded Check-
Fast sleeve. $143 at OfficeMax.

For the Journal
Y
ou dont need to
spend $90,000 for
a Porsche 911 to
please your favorite
auto enthusiast. Local
retailers can suggest many
other options to make almost
any driver feel like Mario
Andretti or Danica Patrick.
Accessories Unlimited
(2322 Candelaria NE,
888-5811) sells and installs
parts, equipment and
accessories to customize cars
and trucks.
Its newest electronic
product is the Scosche
cellCONTROL, described
by the manufacturers as a
safe driving system. Using
Bluetooth technology, it
disables the use of unsafe
cell phone applications in a
moving vehicle.
Bluetooth signals block
drivers from being able to
text message, email, make
phone calls and much more,
explains store owner Ray
Moreau. He says the system
automatically activates when
the vehicle is in motion.
Since cellCONTROL
was introduced in early
November, Moreau says
the system has caught on
quickly with parents of
young drivers as well as fleet
owners. For now, the tamper-
proof product works with
most Android, BlackBerry
and Windows Mobile 5 and 6
systems; cellCONTROL for
iPhones is expected soon.
The cost is $160.
Back-up cameras are
especially popular among
both truck and auto owners,
according to Moreau.
The cameras are connected
to a four-inch monitor
embedded in the specially
installed interior rear-view
mirror, giving the driver
a clear view of people and
hazards. The equipment
is $500 and includes
installation.
OnStar, the communication
and security service offered
on General Motors vehicles,
also can be installed on most
other makes. The equipment
enables the user to get help
after a crash, obtain driving
directions, recover a stolen
vehicle and much more. A
special rear-view mirror
installed in the vehicle
has buttons to activate the
various uses. OnStar is $379;
monthly communication fees
start at $20.
For drivers who dont park
their vehicles in a garage
or who simply want more
warmth, two options can
help take the edge off winter
temperatures. Seat heaters
cost $250 each, and remote
starters are mostly $265.
Need a few budget-
conscious gift ideas? Road
Mice lets your Mario or
Danica cruise the Internet
in style. The wireless optical
computer mouse looks like
a replica automobile down
to the operating headlights
and smooth lines. Regularly
$44.95, the Road Mice are
$40 each at Accessories
Unlimited through Dec. 24.
Also, a wide-angle rear-view
mirror is $18, including tax.
At Audio Express (1105
San Mateo NE, 265-8133, and
10701 Coors NW, Rio Rancho,
899-3584), a new Audio Vox
radio ($250 with installation)
is tailored to iPhone owners.
Using the free iHeartRadio
app, users can create an
account through Facebook to
sync their favorite tunes and,
without an account, tune
in to more than 800 music
stations.
The Clarion Bluetooth
radio ($200 and up with
installation) provides hands-
free driving for Android and
iPhone users. For top-of-the-
line audio, Audio Express
offers the Pioneer AVIC
X930BT for $849.95. Besides
AM/FM, DVD and a USB
port for an iPod, the radio
also offers GPS, navigation,
phone and Bluetooth plus
back-up camera capability.
Installation of this audio
multitasker is $110; with
the back-up camera, add an
additional $175 including
installation.
Local car wash and detail
services offer special gift
packages to spruce up and
beautify any vehicle. At Rain
Tunnel (2100 Central SW and
5101 Lomas NE), a wash/
wax/interior cleaning is
anywhere from $7.99 to $18.99
depending on the services
requested. A gift card for a
complete detailing is $139.99.
At the six Octopus Car
Wash locations throughout
Albuquerque, four different
wash/wax/interior cleaning
services are available, from
$7.99 to $16.99. Octopus gift
cards are available for any
amount.
Finally, even Mario
Andretti and Danica Patrick
enjoy a good book on a cold
winter night. Phil Patton,
who writes about vehicles
for The New York Times
and Esquire, has created a
comprehensive, amusing
history of the Volkswagen
Beetle, Bug: The Strange

Most Famous Automobile.
The paperback is $16.99.
