Gifts for Over $50

Holidays are nothing short of horrific when it comes to ferreting out the perfect present to give hard-to-shop-for people on your ever-growing list.

What's a nice person like you to do?

Well, for a novel Noel, you could let someone else do the legwork. That's why we hit the streets and structures for the past few months. Designed specifically for spirited folks who like to give distinctive gifts with heaps of individuality (treeboat hammock, anyone?), the following is the best cheat sheet you'll find to get through the rest of 2002.

This week, it's all about the Grants, with ideas in the $50-and-above category. Next week we disrobe our annual holiday fashion issue, and we wrap it all up on Dec. 18 with a cheapskate's guide to last-minute gift-giving.

Now, sit back and relax. It's time to go shopping.

Happy Holidays,
Byron Beck
