You don’t have to go far to find last year’s Holiday Gift Guide (it’s just 1 page behind this one). I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a blog for a whole year.
This year it’s all about scaling back, right? We’ll we’re going to try to incorporate a bit of a budget this year, but really I’m going to talk about what’s cool.
To make it easy, let’s just keep the same template I used last year and the year before, which was – No Brainer gifts, and must-haves for him, her and the kids.
Merry Christmas!
No Brainer Must-Haves
Amazon Kindle – Seriously, the Kindle rules. Everyone I know who has one just raves and raves about it. I might just say that it’s the must have gift of the season at $259.
iPod Nano with Nike+ – (I know that’s an old Nano, but come on… do you blame me?) If you don’t have it already, ask for Christmas. I did. Nike+ tracks your runs and gives you all sorts of data about it. Apparently, I read in Wired that Nike+ actually encourages average runners to run more, because they’re actually interested. Plus, the Nano now shoots video. I picked on up for Diabla, and it’s pretty badass. Nano’s start at $149 and Nike+ is around $29.
Beatles Rock Band – I really want Beatles Rock Band. I mean, who doesn’t, right? Have you seen the play list? It’s incredible. Buy this for me… now. Game is $49.
Must-Haves for Her
J Crew Sweaters – Girls love sweaters, right? You can’t go wrong with some simple sweaters from J Crew. Prices vary.
Diamonds in the Blue Box – Works every time. Just identify the one piece of jewelry she doesn’t have, and buy it. It’s simple. Fucking Expensive.
Restoration Hardware Luxury Plush – This shit just looks awesome. I’m going to stuff Diabla’s stocking with those booties… and my D.
Victoria’s Secret Shit – So, Dibs ordered these “Long Jane” PJs the other day, and they’re hot. You shouldn’t buy her lingerie, because you just bought her a bunch for Thanksgerie, right? RIGHT?
Must-Haves for Him
GameFly Subscription - I mentioned this in AskToph, and I still like it. A year subscription to GameFly would rule.
Early 90′s HipHop Collection – Let’s say you open a gift, and you find new versions of The Chronic, Doggystyle, Eazy-Duz-It, AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, All Eyez On Me, etc… A full collection of the greatest rap albums ever. You’re telling me you wouldn’t go nuts?
Jeets Autographed Ball – Is it just me that wants this? Oh, ok. Well instead, get him a personalized Louisville Slugger. I still look at my Louisville Slugger I got in Kentucky and think, “this rules.”
R2-D2 Trash Can – Dear Diabla. Please put this under the tree. I love you.
Ninja Star Coat Hooks – And, then wrap these up next to R2-D2, and I will be the happiest boy in the world!
Must-Haves for the Kids
Star Wars LEGOs - Um, what kid (or me) wouldn’t want Star Wars LEGOs?
Nintendo DS – It’s really all my niece talks about. Well, this and the iPod Touch.
Transformers – You really can’t go wrong with Transformers. All boys love them, and they’re not too expensive.
And for tween girls? Fuck if I know… New Moon shit? Selena Gomez? Who knows what they want, besides teen angst.
I also told PigSpigot I’d mention them in my Holiday Gift Guide, so here’s a LINK to them. I guess they’re greeting cards or some shit.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone. Make lots of love to everyone you see.
Late.
