    I actually am buying my fiance a gift out of TWOP's gift guide. The dude likes NCIS!

    I treat them the way I treat everything else in magazines. I ooh and aah over what I like, with no regard to others, and end up not buying anything.

    Also I love you, Simon Doonan. You can decorate my house anytime.

    To be fair, it WAS the gift guide from Time Out NY that alerted me to the existence of a "Cake or Death?" Eddy Izzard mug. So yeah.

    Ironically, I would love to find out what Simon Doonan would suggest for Christmas. He's fantastic, and I'd probably buy any number of horrible things if he recommended them.

    Bust's gift guide this year was pretty good. I figured out what to get my dad from it. A record player that converts your vinyl into mp3s? That's perfect. And I had no idea we had the technology to do that.

    @Devi: This is why I'm thinking that its a continuous gift... because you know who will be converting all those records? Me. So that's an extra part. But then I get a gift cuz then I get to listen to all his super awesome underground new york 70s glam records, including crazy B-sides from MC5. I am excited.

    I find that gifts guides are generally based on stereotypes that have nothing to do with the people in my life. My dad hates golf and gadgets and my mom hates cooking and beauty products. What now generic gift guides?

    That said, I do like the holiday book lists from NYT and WaPo.

    @Benevolent_Dictatrix (patently absurd): I've often wondered what it would be like to have a golfing dad – or to be one. 90 percent of crappy last-minute gifts are golf-related, it seems.

    I find gift guides can be useful at Christmas when I am buying for say children or a man I don’t know that well, like my friend’s brother.

    Simon Doonan later found out his search for a person who likes gift guides was perhaps limited as it was conducted in Antarctica.

    I lined my litter box with holiday gift guides once, and I'll never make that mistake again. Cats, cellphones and a Sharper Image catalog made for a very expensive January. On the bright side, we do enjoy lounging in our massage chair while shredding documents and sonically sanitizing our tooth brushes.
