Allison Arieff's holiday picks for the wife
Apple AirPort Express Base Station (with AirTunes)
We are a two-iPod family, and our stereo has become the forgotten child. Playing music from the computer has been great, but it's time for an upgrade.
Sony Ericsson P900
I recently lost my engagement calendar, and I'm a wreck. I'm ready to join the 21st century. With the P900, I can keep track of all my Dwell commitments and e-mail my husband while on business trips.
Canon EOS-1D Mark II
OK, we're a little obsessed with taking pictures of our dog, Wally. But my husband and I also collaborate on books and have serious photography needs. I'd love this over-the-top camera.
