Give A Little

Dear Reader/Panic-Stricken Holiday Shopper,

In my never-ending search to make your life better-informed (and just a tad bit easier), I asked a few friends of mine--fantabulous thinkers one and all--to drop their No. 2 pencils and pick up a brand new bag. A shopping bag, that is. Yes, Virginia, for the past few months we have unleashed a whole bevy of friendly "elves" on unsuspecting retailers in the hope of finding really wonderful gripe-free holiday gifts.

In other words, we've done your holiday-shopping research for you. This issue will help get you started (for the super-busy, we offer quick holiday hits); then, on Dec. 6, you'll want to check out our "Party" issue (full of fashion, beautiful people and party favors). And keep your eye out for our third gift guide on Dec. 13 (for those who like to shop late!).

Not only will you find the hippest, hottest, coolest, most unique gifts you'll give or get all year, but the cover also makes really fun wrapping paper.
