2012 Gift Guides
I hope you have enjoyed the nostalgic look at gift guides past - for me, it's been fun to see all of the characters again, but realize that I can be terribly redundant (socks for everyone!) I'm sure there will be plenty of repeats in this year's batch as well, but what can I say, some gifts are always good to give and receive.
