This year’s NY Times Holiday Gift Guide is a very helpful tool for finding the perfect gift for just about anyone.
One great list is 25 Home and Decorating Gifts for Under $25, which features some helpful household items that don’t break the bank. They range from sophisticated (IKEA’s Näsvis Candlestick Set, $5), to practical (Ceramic Cargo Storage Units, $24 for 2), to funny (Animal Butt Magnets, $12 each).
For readers, check out their list of 100 Notable Books of 2011 and 2011’s Notable
Children’s Books. Theater-goers would appreciate their Broadway ticket recommendations, with shows like “Other Desert Cities,” “War Horse” (this year’s Tony award winner for Best Play), or “The Book of Mormon,” where tickets sell out fast.
In electronics, check out the Joby Gorillamobile, a simple and versatile tripod for iPhones, Androids, or other smaller handheld video devices. Catch up on TV shows with box sets of “Law & Order,” “The Adventures of Tintin,” and the original “The Office.”
There’s so much more to choose from – gifts for parents, children, world travelers, movie enthusiasts, and everyone in-between!
