1. Give the lady who lunches a haute tote for her food, beverages, and whatever else she's carrying with a Lunch à la Mode bag. The big, roomy shoulder bags, available in four models in leather or faux leather, come with a removable, zippered 12-by-9-by-5-inch insulated food pouch, with an internal mesh pouch that holds two reusable ice packs (included). Pockets protect cell phones, wallets, and cosmetics, and there are pouches for water bottles and a sturdy water-resistant nylon lining. Colors are yummy, too - from buttercream to rum raisin and caramello.
Wish you may
Lunch a la Mode bags are $270 to $588 at www.lunchalamode.com.
2. Make the Magic Kingdom even more magical by surprising the kids with Disney character costumes. Your little Princess Tiana will glimmer in her yellow-and-green gown with layers of petal-shaped tulle and satin cascading down the skirt. Add matching shoes and a "jeweled" tiara. Outfit your Space Ranger in a Light-up Buzz Lightyear costume with light-up goggles. Adult costumes are available, too - haven't you always wanted to vamp around as Cruella de Vil or Mickey Mouse?
Disney character costumes in children's sizes are $30 to $150; adult sizes, about $80; accessories such as shoes, tiaras, goggles, and ears, from $5 to $25, at www.disneystore.com; 1-800-328-0612.
3. The fairways may seem friendlier with a SkyCaddie SG5 rangefinder in hand. The GPS device has a 2.2-inch, full-color screen that maps more than 24,000 preprogrammed courses in 45 countries. The shape and depth of the green rotates based on the angle of approach. The monitor also shows distances from holes, hazards, and targets, and has a zoom function, a digital scorecard, and a digital clock. The 5.4-by-2.2-by-1-inch SkyCaddie weighs about 6 ounces. It has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, automatic backlight, and water-resistant casing. The device programs with Windows PC or Apple Mac and comes with an AC adapter, car charger, USB cable, belt clip, and travel case.
SkyCaddie SG5 rangefinder is $399.95 at www.skygolf.com, 1-866-759-4653. Additional $30 to $60 annual programming fee.
