Lists for Life - Holiday Gift Ideas

Though it's gotten mixed reviews on Amazon, we're anxious to check out Rory Tahari's Lists for Life: The Essential Guide to Getting Organized and Tackling Tough To-Dos. The creative director of Tahari is a self-proclaimed compulsive list maker and her book of lists covers everything from weddings, home buying and cleaning, parenting and, our favorite, traveling. She tells Travel & Leisure that her three top pointers for packing are: 1. Check the Weather. 2. Plan your outfit ahead of time and 3. Download her Lists for Life iPone app. Pretty good, but she missed our top tip for packing.

We recommend Lists for Life for all the disorganized friends on your holiday list--all your type-A anal friends will know this stuff already.
