cheeseburger wrapping paper by gift couture
In case you haven’t heard, the 29th of November set a new record for online shopping. Internet retailers made over $1 billion in sales from 9 million shoppers. Yes indeed, this holiday season sounds more like cha-ching than jingle-ling.
By our calculations you should have some stuff stashed away in the back of your closet by now, but if you still don’t know what to get for your mother, best friend, sister, aunt, fear not. Like little commerce helper elves, a bevy of gift guides sprouted up in early November to help you find the perfect gift without having to brave the stores.
That brings us to the following point. We figured that you don’t have the time or energy to brave the nooks and crannies of the internet so we did it for you. Should you bother scrolling through all 425 of New York Magazine’s picks? Yes. Are the best “green” gifts on treehugger’s list? Not so much.
Welcome to hearty’s Gift Guide Guide: a comprehensive tour of the best gift guides in cyber space. We clicked our way to carpal tunnel and back, in order to bring you the finest selections of selections, the creme de creme compilations of compilations. Read the results below and don’t feel too bad about adding some items to your own wishlist, we definitely did.
one year by brother got a cooler for chrismukkah and named it “cool hand luke”. from salad dressings to films, i have a thing for paul newman. he’s even the speaker of my favourite quotation, “why go out for burgers when you have steak at home” (in reference to his relationship with joanna woodward). anyway, the cooler mysteriously went missing after faithfully toting beers for the whole holiday vacation. this is a marc jacobs cooler and it’s pretty nice but i think i’d rather have good old plastic cool hand luke back.
I write for Hearty Magazine.
I've also written for Chatelaine, Vice, AsiaLife and the Phnom Penh Post.
