Editor's Corner: Not Your Usual Gift Guide

It's not even December, but I'm already sick of the emails, TV commercials, and print advertisements pointing me toward "this year's hot gift."

If you're in the same boat, yet you really would appreciate a little present inspiration, I think you'll like creativepro.com's gift guide. It's kind of quirky and definitely idiosyncratic, but I bet you'll find at least one suggestion that's perfect for someone on your list (or for yourself). The link to the full article is below.
