Today is Thanksgiving Day and 100 days ago we set out to publish our Top 100 Holiday Gift Tips for 2008, one at the time. We started with the Wii Console and finish with the only true gadget that is the best gift in times of crisis and uncertainty - the Swiss Army Knife.

Of course there are tons of Victorinox pocket knifes available. I chose the SwissChamp S.O.S. set as it is even more useful in emergencies of all kinds. The SwissChamp is constructed with an acid-resistant plastic and aluminum handle, and 100-percent stainless-steel components that will hold their edge and last for years.
