Probably a bit late for the Christmas shopping, but I happened upon this site:
The DNA Store
No, I don't endorse it, know nothing about them other than what is available from their site, and thought others may care to see some of the products they feature.
Seasons Greetings to all and may 2011 bring us all great genetic genealogy discoveries.

1st: Family Finder
Results are starting to come in for Family Tree DNA's Family Finder first few beta tests.
Although I only found several very distant relations, whom I'll probably never connect too, it does look rather interesting.
One name on my list of matches I did recognise, the Director of ISOGG.
As one of my distant cousins said, how appropriate that you are related.
Terry, on the World Families Network has posted an interesting article about his experiences with it.

24th: Family Finder
Some of you may have already noticed Family Tree DNA's new product, Family Finder.
So far it doesn't appear on their main list of products, but information can be accessed via your personal pages once logged in.
They are having a special introductory offer to project administrators, which I am for of a number of projects.
So, if you want me to use my introductory offer for your existing test kit under any of the "hats" the offer has not yet been used up for, contact me via the applicable project.
Basically it means that for closer relationships, we are no longer restricted to direct paternal and maternal lines, and us females get more options from our own dna without having to find a male to test for the direct paternal line.
There's a little video clip explaining the how on the link.
