Just ask my boss. The good news? If you resolve to get your holiday shopping done early, you may actually get to enjoy yourself at this year’s soirees, without having to worry about the shopping you still need to do or the gift you’ll never find. Let the games begin If you’re shopping for regular folks, consult this Black Friday post by fellow blogger and Wpromoter extraordinaire, Christian, for a great list of sites to do your holiday shopping from the comfort of home. Still, if you’re not sure what to buy that eccentric aunt, particular parent, or kooky cousin, you may need to go the extra mile…hence this post. In keeping with the holiday spirit (and taking a break from the usual online marketing-related fare), please read on for 7 gift ideas sure to satisfy even the most particular of people. 1) For the hopelessly un-hip – A subscription to KCRW There’s nothing wrong with false Continue reading…
