What: Smart Car

Why It's Cool: Smart Cars are the iPods of automobiles. The 8-foot by 8-foot vehicles are all the rage in Europe, and they finally go on sale in the United States early next year. With gasoline topping $3 a gallon and these minicars getting 50 to 60 miles per gallon, Smart Cars are looking smarter by the minute.

The details: $11,590 to $16,590. You can reserve one now for $99. They'll be available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2008.

Where to Buy: www.SmartUSA.com

What: Lounge Pants

Why It's Cool: Laying around in soft, loose-fitting pants is heaven, no matter how old you are. Lounge pants are a practical gift that don't reek of over-thinking and trying too hard.

The details: $16.99 to $19.99
