Since you mention duct tape and Amazon ...

With Christmas coming up and the wife asking what I NEED for Christmas, I have found the wish list on Amazon.com to be very nice. You can set up a wish list for yourself and add things like the Duct Tape book (which I just did) along with other items you really NEED, like a new multitool instead of a tie.

I did this last year and acually got some nice stuff. Amazon has much more than books. Look in the sports and outdoors section. They have some good prices on SAKs and multitools and they even lists Doug's PSK (a great gift, by the way). They also sell duct tape.

Speaking of Christmas gifts and the wife. Last year, as a small gift along with girly stuff, I gave my wife a LRI Photon II micro light for her key chain. After having it on her key chain for a while, she has mentioned several times how much she likes it.
