Holiday Gift Guide 2011: 19 festive finds from $31 to $99
Holiday Gift Guide 2011: 19 festive finds from $31 to $99
By Fraser Abe, Karolyne Ellacott, Kevin Naulls and Mark Teo | Photography by Carlo Mendoza
It’s the jolliest time of the year for some, and for many, mulled wine, cider or anything, really, are the social lubricants that make life a little cheerier (as well as cookies, big turkey dinners and spiced coffee drinks), so we’ve found a mid-range carafe for the special merrymaker in your life. For a little young lady, we’ve found an adorable toy tea set, which will go perfectly with a tray of cucumber finger sandwiches and, for the wee lad, a plastic toy tool set (but hey, don’t conform to gender stereotypes if you don’t want to—mix and match). Money is required for the purchase of all of these things, and since money goes into a wallet, we’ve found a great one. Check out all 19 gifts between $31 and $99 »
