In this, the retailer's make-or-break shopping period, you have no doubt seen at least one shopping gift idea 'guide'.. or 'Top Gift's For 2009' list.
(I have already lost track of how many of these I've seen..)
And you've probably been reminded -- at least once -- that there is ONLY x SHOPPING DAYS 'TILL CHRISTMAS.
So I won't remind you how many days you have left, but I will simply be unable to prevent myself from showing you a list.
Tech Paul's Top Lists List
This being a Tech site, it is only natural that my list of lists should include some distinctly tech-oriented lists.. lists with names like "Gift Ideas For The Gadget Freak" (note, if this really is somebody's list title.. I apologize)
* PC Magazine's Holiday Gift Guide is divided into categories, and starts with Desktop computers. The editors at PC Mag use several criteria for determining their top picks; including value, performance.. and the all-important "kewl factor".
* Tom's Guide has the Shopping Guide: Black Friday and Beyond : Getting Bang For Your Buck which is also divided into categories; TVs, Cameras & camcorders, Game consoles, peripherals, etc.
* For those on a budget (and, who isn't?) RealSimple.com has some interesting ideas that might very well spark an idea for those hard-to-shop-for folks on your list (not exclusively X-mas-oriented ideas found here too).
* A site on my Blogroll, MyTechTalk, has posted some nifty gift ideas here, 8 Gift Ideas from Amazon - for any budget- for the Tech Lover on your List, and here Consider Online Gifts for the Web Surfer on your List.
* Sometimes, it is important to know what NOT to buy, and so I recommend a visit to the Consumer Product Safety Commission site, where you can check to make sure the item you're considering is not on a recall list.
* Toms Hardware: actually, I don't need to go much further than Tom's.
