Welcome to our third annual gift guide series, where the BYT staff makes guides/hints to satisfy any taste or lack of taste thereof of anyone you ever need to get a present for. Get to ordering slacker! and keep your eyes peeled for other ones later this week.
Check out Svetlana's recs here and Cale's recs here. My edition of the gift guide includes things that seem expensive, but are actually completely worth every cent.

Ask Liz about her Russian Hats next time we see each other.
Our middle pony is from Washington Animal Rescue League. Wonderful people and a really cool place (waterfalls to calm the animals and non cages etc... for living space.) Highly recommended. Makes a holiday full of snuggle goodness.
