This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. Each year I put together a small gift guide post full of things that I think make great gifts and are a lot of fun to give or receive for the holidays. Everything on the list is something I’ve used, enjoyed, and recommend. I have recommendations posts for software, headphones, and miscellaneous stuff around the house, so the things on this list will be more focused on stuff not included in those posts and geared toward things I’ve come across in the past year or so and think would make good gifts. I used my Amazon affiliate link when the product showed up there, which gives our website a slight percentage back if you make a purchase and helps fund our continued existence. If you’d like to get me a gift, becoming a supporting member or gifting another user a supporting membership for a year would mean the world to me. And, if you’re looking for something in just about any price range with a Chorus.fm or AbsolutePunk.net logo on it, check our merch shop.

They’re just rock solid. Website SubscriptionsThese days there are many websites and newsletters with membership programs. The holidays are a great time to gift one of these memberships to a friend or family member, and trust me, as someone who runs one, it goes a long way to helping your favorite website as well. Some of the websites I recommend checking out their membership packages include: MacStories, Relay.fm, SixColors, Last.fm, and ATP. Over $100 Assouline Coffee Table BooksExpensive but very pretty. Hannah has one of the fashion designer ones and I’ve had my eye on one from the James Bond collection for a while. Justin WineGreat wine. Great packaging. Makes for a very cool presentation. Any Amount Ask your friends and family to donate to a cause you support. I recommend places like the Oregon Food Bank, EFF, or checking out Charity Navigator for various recommended charities. Also, Madi Diaz’s cover album of Enema of the State donates to Defending Our Neighbors, so that’s a win-win pick-up. Subscribers to the weekly newsletter will probably recognize some of these items because I write about them throughout the year when I find something I like and enjoy. So, if you like reading things like this, plus getting my weekly thoughts on music and entertainment, you should signup.
