2007 Holiday Gift Guide
Gift Guide: Gift Cards
If you've been reading our holiday gift guides and are still stumped over what to buy for your friends and family, or you're just getting down to the wire, a gift card is the next best thing. I don't mean a prepaid Visa gift card or an envelope with a few bucks slipped in (although I wouldn't complain about that). Go for a gift card to one of the sweetest shops around.
Gift Guide: White Elephant Gift Exchange
If you're not familiar with this fun custom, I insist that you try a white-elephant gift exchange in the future! In this gift exchange, guests bring anonymous gifts to a pile, and then determine a random order in which to grab presents from the pile. Guests can then steal other guests' gifts, or take another wrapped gift from the pile.
Gift Guide: The Newlyweds
Newlyweds are generally the easiest people to shop for because they want anything and everything for their homes. Having a registry to shop from doesn't hurt either. But, I try to stay away from the registries and get a little more creative with my newlywed gifts.
Gift Guide: The Neighbor
My neighbor listens to The Postal Service, likes to run, and hails from Wisconsin. Other than that, as far I know, he has no other interests or qualities. That's often how neighbors work.
Gift Guide: The Beloved Boss
Having a great boss can make a so-so job seem fantastic, and having a bad boss can make a great job unbearable. That's why, this holiday season, if you've been blessed with having a smart, capable, and caring person to oversee your workplace, celebrate that individual by telling her or him thanks with a thoughtful gift. I've rounded up some presents at various price points that will help convey your gratitude to the wonderful boss in your life.
Gift Guide: Cozy Coworker
We all spend a lot of time getting to our jobs, working hard at our jobs, and even just thinking about our jobs. That's why it's such a relief to return to a welcoming and comfortable home at the end of a hard day's work. Keeping our home environments organized, cozy, and beautiful is an excellent way to relax at the end of a work day.
Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers
To be honest, pulling out stocking stuffers is probably my favorite part of Christmas. I think it's the surprise factor. Unless you're extraordinarily demanding and a huge brat, I doubt you send your family wish lists for your stocking stuffers.
Gift Guide: The Minimalist
A true minimalist is a tough person to shop for, but not impossible. He or she really may not want anything at all, but there are some things no functioning being can live without. You're probably thinking: food, water, shelter, right?
Gift Guide: The Closet Sentimentalist
You never know about those big, burly, tough-guy types. They may be all macho in public, but get them into a good tearjerker of a movie, and they'll be reaching for the box of tissues. I'm related to several men like this (and I'm marrying another), so I have a big soft spot in my heart for the closet sentimentalist boys out there.
Gift Guide: Green Thumb
There's something incredibly sexy about a guy who knows his way around a wheelbarrow and gardening spade (or maybe that's the farm girl in me talking). Still, a pair of grass-stained Carhartts and some dirty work boots never hurt anyone's sex appeal, if you ask me.
So if you have a gardener, landscape architect, farm boy, or other obsessed green thumb guy in your life, I've got the gifts to help him scratch that itch (and hopefully it's not from some poisonous plant, but just in case I've got something for that, too).
