Holiday Gift Guides

With Christmas just a few weeks away, a bunch of holiday-gift guides have popped up making it the gift-giving process simpler and fun. Coolhunting’s Gift Guide is a snazzy -easy to navigate site featuring items starting at $10 to well above $500. The collection is eclectic and unique. My favorite piece here is the House of Cards set for $20 that features full-bleed photograhs on every single card of the deck. Each photograph is unique and beautiful!

Josh Spear has launched Soupe Du Jour at Charles & Marie - an innovative shopping site where a new product is featured every day and is available for shopping only for 24 hours. Today’s feature is the Osho ToothBrush. It sounds like a fun idea, but I don’t know how well it will work. We are so used to dealing with too many choices that no choices at all might confound us!

I’d rather buy gifts from these guides than the usual choices for two reasons:

1) the products featured here are simply outstanding and I’d want to be remembered as the great girl who gives great holiday gifts! (only I can’t afford anything right now. shhhh)

2) These sites act as editors, in a way, producing a refined list of gifts for everyone’s individual sensibilities.

Holiday Gift Guides like these are going to pop up more frequently in the future. Like me, if you can’t afford much right now– these sites also offer the added pleasure of just browsing through the choices!
