Satisfy your snack lover with the gift of guilt-free snacking this holiday season. This year, slide a bag of Jack Link’s Jerky in your snacker’s stocking.

For the angler. Your loved one could be angling for a gift like this one.
Make sure the angler on your list has the latest go-to lures from Rapala, the Clackin’ Crank and Clackin’ Minnow. Designed to target multiple species, these fishing lures feature a single stainless steel ball that transmits a loud cadence rattle that fish not only hear but feel as the lures produce vibrations through the water, while their hard-flashing side-to-side action calls fish in for the bite. Both lures feature translucent textured bodies with internal holographic foil and are available in 16 must-have color patterns and two sizes. And, if the weather keeps your angler indoors, check out Rapala’s new video game, Rapala Pro Bass Fishing, available for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS.
(Suggested retail price for lures: $12.99 – $13.99)
(Suggested retail price for video game: $49.99 – $69.99) (with controller), $39.99 (without controller)
For the music lover. MP3 players make perfect stocking stuffers.
This year, an MP3 player is sure to be a highly requested gift whether it’s for a son or daughter, mom or dad or anyone else on your wish list. MP3 players come in a variety of price points and hold more than just music. The majority now hold videos, pictures and some even have access to the Internet, along with the ability to play games. You can even personalize the MP3 player by choosing your recipients’ favorite color and size. Whether placed in a stocking or wrapped as a gift, the smiles and excitement that will come when unwrapping this gift will last all season long.

For the workout enthusiast. Form meets function with sports watches.
Whether you work out every day, a couple times a week or are looking to start, keeping track of those workout essentials can be easy with a new sports watch. Today, watches don’t just keep track of time or distance. A variety of sports watches now feature a heart rate monitor, speed and distance tracking, data transfer capabilities from the watch to your computer, workout session history recording, pace alerts and some even allow you to train against a digital person. Some sports watches also come with a chip that attaches to your running shoe, tracking further data.
