Video: Gifts Ideas with Maria Bartiromo

Comment

Posted: December 22, 2008

Over the weekend, I spoke with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo on her show The Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo about the hottest gifts this season. You may have already considered the Blu-Ray DVD player, but what about Toshiba's less expensive version? You can watch part of the clip here.

The rest of my recommendations include the Aluratek USB Internet radio jukebox, Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, and charitable donations.

Great video segment. I saw that Mark Bittman book at the store before the holidays and am still thinking about buying it...

Hi Lazy Man!
The segment on tv had sidebars that popped up with all of the details -- name, price, model -- and you're right, there are lots of upscaling DVD players to choose from, we just picked one of them. I'm definitely a fan of that Aluratek radio jukebox - I love listening to the radio in france while I'm at home in DC!

Thanks for telling us about the Aluratek USB Internet Radio Jukebox. When I was watching the clip I didn't hear the name mentioned.
Also you didn't mention the model of the Toshiba upscaling DVD player. There are a lot of brands of upscaling DVD players and I'm not sure why the Toshiba brand is better than another.
I suppose it's hard to fit it into a brief spot - especially with Toshiba model numbers being some random-ish string of numbers and letters.
