Lovely Little Links
Need to get into the gifting mood? Feeling a little grinchy? Check out this a capella holiday song. Or look at some cute pictures of kids in the snow.
I know that Mir makes all kinds of wonderful, pretty suggestions, but for the 2 people in the world who don’t read that blog, and/or someone looking for a gift for a brother, dad, step-dad, etc, I’ve got some ideas. Mir covered some great guy gift ideas, but I need some in the under $20 range, not the $100 range. Plus, I’m trying to shop for a gift for my brother, so if you have great ideas for a fussy, single, city-dwelling guy in is early 30s who is not techy or outdoorsy, please leave a comment!
Of course, very few of these work for anyone in my life, or so I will say right now. Family may want to avert their eyes..
- OK, so the snowstorm has stopped us from actually picking up the PhotoBook from CVS, but if you’ve got a digital camera and a nearby CVS, it’s a great gift for anyone who likes pictures of you, your kids, or whatever.
- Two great books that
tastelook great together are The Daring Book for Girls and The Dangerous Book for Boys. Those might well be my default gifts for the foreseeable future. - One of the best gifts I have ever given or received was a Leatherman Multi-Tool. If you can’t afford that, this Faux Leatherman and knife set would be great for most guys, and a lot of women, too - plus you can buy two for the price of one Leatherman.
- If that doesn’t look right, there’s always Swiss Army Knives - this knife even has a light!
- I will never forget the year Santa brought my step-dad tools. Tools in his stocking. Tools under the tree. Tools everywhere! If you’re thinking along that line, this set of wrenches would be great.
- After two hard drive crashes and a server that went kablooie, I’m all about having everything backed up in a few different places. So, nothing says “I love you” more than making sure your stuff is backed up!
- If you know someone who’s a wine person rather than a beer person, check out this tool to make it easier to pour wine. Though, in what wine-loving house does wine last two weeks?
- A great gift for anyone who isn’t my brother is a cool T-shirt for $10. The $10 sale ends the day after tomorrow, and then they’re $20. I can’t pick favorites right now - I love far too many.
- Hey! I might be able to find something for him here! Magazines on sale - it’s a gift that lasts all year! There’s ESPN magazine, Popular Mechanics, Discover science magazine, or even my favorite - Mac Life, which used to be MacAddict.
- Have you given up on finding the perfect gift? Did you cave and get a gift certificate? Wrap it up with this great gag gift, and then it looks like a regular present.
- Following the above idea
a littlea lot farther… If you’re buying for your husband/significant other/life partner, you could always pair these two items
It’s probably best to end there before my brain continues in that direction… If you want a great giggle, complete with lots of romance and magic(k) - or even just a Salem, MA stting, check out the book I just finished - Sex and the Psychic Witch. Lots of “Mr. Happy” talk. 
Check out her first trilogy, too.
Comments
[…] Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like wrenches! […]
Word to the wise — that aforementioned brother will not appreciate that gag gift. He does like ESPN mag, non-starbucks coffee, and CDs.

- Current Read Aloud - Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports: Maximum Ride Novel #3, by James Patterson. I read and reviewed this before, and after seeing the website, the girls wanted to hear it. A great tween/young adult fantasy novel with a fantastic female lead!
- Current Audiobook - The Opal Deception (Artemis Fowl, Book 4) by Eoin Colfer. We love this series! Artemis Fowl is a young teen genius and criminal mastermind, and he interacts with the hidden world of the Fairies. A fabulous mix of YA-level suspense, technology, and magic!
