Best bottle openers ever

I especially like the number 4 and 12. How cool would it be at a business casual party as it becomes more casual with some bottles of beer brought in. And they are not screw top, but the good kind. Then, to open one, you take out the bottle opener James Bond style from the collar of your shirt! Awesome party trick.
And then there is the Pen Bottle Opener. Can open a bottle of bubbly and take down the number, email, or name all in just a couple of moves. Stocking stuffer?

Why good to have on a trip:
- Multi-functioning tool
- Some of these can be used to open a bottle, as a screwdriver, or as a pen
- saves space and always ready to get one open

In a New York Times article, the research by a University of Washington professor revealed that it's not until early December that prices are likely to be lowest for electronics, products that are among the biggest sellers on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Black Friday, nowadays, actually means retailers will go from the red into the black on their income sheets, and not the darkest shopping day of the year as it was previously known. Get your gift list done for the travelers in your family.
