We're getting into that time of the year again where families come together, pumpkin pies get slaughtered, and the cider gets a healthy dose of bourbon to help mask the disappointment of unwrapping another argyle sweater.
So, in that spirit, it'd be great to compile a list of awesome gift ideas that we can point significant others to as a hint. Some of the best gift recommendations may even find their way into an article on the front page.
What would you recommend as a must have? Please post a link to what item you're recommending, as well as the high and low points. The item should be generally available.
I'll start the ball rolling.
For me, I can easily recommend my B&B notebook (saddle brown leather). Clicking a button in Evernote will NEVER surpass the sense of accomplishment of checking off a difficult task with a sense of permanence on paper. A paper journal helps me focus my thoughts and record important notes, as opposed to the dumping ground that is Evernote where I dump info that 99% of the time I know I'll never refer back to. The high: Looks great, functional, does what you want, no more, no less. The bad: I beat up my possessions, even the ones I try and baby. The cover is showing some creases where the stitching of the cover extends past the notebook inside, and has been smashed a time or two. Also, this notebook is apparently not a fan of being dropped on concrete (who knew).
While seemingly self-serving, all proceeds from this notebook are donated to the NBCF on behalf of Sue, (and unfortunately, is unavailable at the moment).
