I wish I could help, but I am the worst gift giver in history. I mean well, I really, really try, but it always goes horribly wrong. Even worse, my wife is both awesome at picking out gifts and incredibly fickle, so I invariably end up feeling like an asshole on Christmas morning, sitting next to my pile of cool gifts while she pretends not to be disappointed.

Fortunately, I'm totally off the hook this year. She just bought herself a 64GB iPhone 4S, and the deal was that it counts as both anniversary and Christmas present this year. So a few stocking stuffers and I'm good to go. Even I can manage not to screw that up. I hope.
