Agriculture Online: Gift-Giving Guide for Farm Folks

Agriculture Online ’s gift guide for granger is full of unintentionally screaming passport for a communist San Francisco liberal media elite blogger like myself — are all farmers also soldier ? Because I do n’t read why you ’d give your local edible asparagus Fannie Merritt Farmer a“Christmas Ornament for the Troops”if he ’s just out there reap delicious produce . I enjoy asparagus , but I do n’t think raise it is technically a military placement .

On the other hand , the Carhartt Flame - Resistant Jacket is indeed an fantabulous option for a welder , or anyone sufficiently badass enough to require a jacket unequal to of catching fire . Thanks , Agriculture Online ! [ Agriculture Online ]

PhillyBurbs: Gifts for the “Biggest Loser” in Your Life

You guys , this is the worst gift guide ever . It ’s not a inclination of recommendations for people trying to misplace weight . It ’s just a inclination of every The boastful Loser branded product out there — like a workout mix certificate of deposit with “ kickin ’ , pumpin ’ beats ” and a memoir write by the first female victor — masquerading as a list of health shaft . The only beneficial passport : The Biggest Loser for Wii , good because it ’s the only game to date to conspicuously feature fat people jumping on trampoline . [ PhillyBurbs ]

BobVila.com: The Official 2009 Bob Vila Gift Guide

Bob Vila , home improvement kingpin and long - time rival to Tim “ The Tool Man ” Taylor , is exactly the valet de chambre I ’d ask for a good word on a unexampled power drill or workbench , if I was a totally dissimilar person and had any exercise for those kinds of things . His testimonial are actually kind of interesting , leaning toward intent - concenter items like the $ 200 Sorapot Tea Infusion Pot as well as goofy items like a handsaw - shaped kitchen tongue . Luckily , he does n’t bury his antecedent , recommending an array of scary - look power tools . [ BobVila ]

The New York Times: 2009 Gift Guide

The New York Times natural endowment template fork up 50 , weigh ’em , 50 freestanding full - featured guides on a wide variety of subjects , from the arts to electronics to cooking to travel . And yet it ’s also oddly personal and likable , with kinky inclusion like the underrated and swiftly invalidate Andy Barker , P.I. on DVD and a jumbo grillable slab of pink Himalayan salt ( very fashionable in the world of modern culinary art ) . The one notable omission is a guide to 2009 ’s pop medicine — it ’s been a moderately solid yr and a elementary top ten lean would ’ve been welcome .

Still , it ’s such a damnably good bunch of guide that it threaten to take away the ego boost I get when people postulate me what to buy . This year , or else of excitedly speak up thenew Islands albumor theZune HD , I ’ll just be sigh , reckon dourly at my shoes , and emailing a link to the Times ’ giving guide .

Truck Trend: 2009 Truck Trend Holiday Gift Guide

Truck Trend ’s 2009 giving guide does not advocate a hand truck . Instead they advocate $ 500 sunglasses and a $ 14,000 racing simulator . And another span of $ 350 sunglasses . I ’m giving Truck Trend a big fat DON’T BUY just on rationale . [ Truck Trend ]

OK! Magazine: Twilight Gift Guide

This one in reality recommends more ridiculous / creepy items than the The magnanimous Loser giving guide ( see picture ) , but it ’s easier to swallow because I call up the Twilight series actually has fans weird enough to grease one’s palms this stuff . The problem is , it totally ignore the gracelessness of walk into Nordstrom ’s and have to buy a$30 “ Team Edward ” t - shirtfor your niece . The last passport on this list should be a squeamish , uninfected Amazon gift wit , no disgrace attached . [ OK ! ]

Etsy: Gift Guides

Etsy is the one home on earth where you are sure to find pastel pinkish knitted kitten mittens , and their natural endowment guide provides everything a knitting partizan might need . Unfortunately their talent guide is pretty consuming , with right smart too many gifts per category and no sense that someone with individual taste put the list together . That being said , this is the greatest matter I ’ve ever seen . [ Etsy ]
