Holiday Gift Guide: For the Techie

This is sort of an extended "For the Boys" post. Truth is I forgot to post it yesterday, my apologies.

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Ladies

Best friends are notoriously hard to shop for, well mine is anyways. Lots of pressure seeing that you are supposed to know this person better than anyone else. But I think the real key to buying a good gift for a friend is to get her something indulgent or silly that she may not buy for herself - or on the flip side, get something she can use all the time.
And of course, something that sparkles is always nice...

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Boys

Mr. Fonty is by far the hardest person in the world to shop for. He finds any gift obnoxious and refers to them as "stuff". Mr. Fonty's highest compliment about a gift is if he says, "That is very practical". For a gift buying fanatic, practical is about the last thing I like to buy. So, this year, I picked out gifts for other people's Misters.
(And, Mr. Fonty, if there is anything you see on here that you would actually like, just say the word "practical" and it shall be yours)

Holiday Gift Guide: For Your Best Friend

In our house the boxer rules the roost. On some days, I think Ryman gets more love and praise than Mr. Fonty - most days actually. So when it comes to Christmas, our furry buddy can not be forgotten.
