MAKE: Gifts You Can Make
MAKE is a great stop for DIY aficionados, and patch they've got a heap of assorted heritage guides this year—not to mention a guest heritage pass by MAKE's Phil Torrone on Giz—the Gifts You Can Make pass is a classic. Got a musician someone who could ingest a newborn amp, but you literally spent your last note on a incase of crackers? MAKE's got you covered. [MAKE]
Agriculture Online: Gift-Giving Guide for Farm Folks
Agriculture Online's heritage pass for farmers is full of unintentionally hilarious recommendations for a communist San Francisco progressive media selected blogger same myself—are every farmers also soldiers? Because I don't see why you'd provide your local asparagus farmer a "Christmas Ornament for the Troops" if he's meet discover there harvesting toothsome produce. I fuck asparagus, but I don't think ontogeny it is technically a military position.
On the another hand, the Carhartt Flame-Resistant Jacket is indeed an superior pick for a welder, or anyone sufficiently badass enough to requirement a crown inadequate of getting fire. Thanks, Agriculture Online! [Agriculture Online]
PhillyBurbs: Gifts for the "Biggest Loser" in Your Life
You guys, this is the worst heritage pass ever. It's not a itemize of recommendations for grouping disagreeable to lose weight. It's meet a itemize of every The Biggest Loser branded creation discover there—like a workout intermixture CD with "kickin', pumpin' beats" and a memoir cursive by the prototypal female winner—masquerading as a itemize of health tools. The only beatific recommendation: The Biggest Loser for Wii, beatific because it's the only mettlesome to date to prominently feature fat grouping jumping on trampolines. [PhillyBurbs]

Bob Vila, bag improvement personage and long-time competition to Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, is exactly the man I'd communicate for a congratulations on a newborn noesis drill or workbench, if I was a totally assorted person and had any ingest for those kinds of things. His recommendations are actually collection of interesting, leaning toward design-focused items same the $200 Sorapot Tea Infusion Pot as well as goofy items same a handsaw-shaped kitchen knife. Luckily, he doesn't forget his roots, recommending an array of scary-looking noesis tools. [BobVila]
The New York Times: 2009 Gift Guide
The New York Times heritage pass delivers 50, calculate 'em, 50 removed full-featured guides on a panoramic variety of subjects, from the subject to electronics to cooking to travel. And still it's also peculiarly personal and likable, with quirky inclusions same the underrated and swiftly cancelled Andy Barker, P.I. on DVD and a giant grillable slab of sound Himalayan salt (very dapper in the world of recent cuisine). The one notable fault is a pass to 2009's pop music—it's been a pretty solid assemblage and a simple top ten itemize would've been welcome.
Still, it's much a cursedly beatific bunch of guides that it threatens to verify away the ego increase I get when grouping communicate me what to buy. This year, instead of excitedly talking up the newborn Islands album or the Zune HD, I'll meet be sighing, hunting glumly at my shoes, and emailing a link to the Times' heritage guide. Way to verify the joy discover of the holidays, New York Times. [NY Times]
Truck Trend: 2009 Truck Trend Holiday Gift Guide

OK! Magazine: Twilight Gift Guide
This one actually recommends more ridiculous/creepy items than the The Biggest Loser heritage pass (see picture), but it's easier to enclose because I think the Twilight program actually has fans unearthly enough to acquire this stuff. The problem is, it totally ignores the awkwardness of travel into Nordstrom's and having to acquire a $30 "Team Edward" t-shirt for your niece. The last congratulations on this itemize should be a nice, clean Amazon heritage card, no shame attached. [OK!]

Etsy is the one place on earth where you are trusty to find pastel sound knitted kitten mittens, and their heritage pass provides everything a knitting enthusiast might want. Unfortunately their heritage pass is pretty overwhelming, with artefact too many gifts per collection and no significance that someone with individual taste put the itemize together. That being said, this is the greatest abstract I've ever seen. [Etsy]
