More gift ideas coming
And - come back often - we've got more items to add between now and Christmas as we are still receiving and testing samples from other manufacturers. We'll add those as soon as we’ve had a chance to give them a “hands-on” test.
Each gift suggestion has been tested and approved by Doug and is recommended whole-heartedly as being something he himself would give, or would like to receive. (One exception - the Nikon D5300 doesn't ship until 11/14...so our recommendation for that item is based on the performance of the D5200 with the same image sensor.)
Presents in all price ranges
You'll find present suggestions from $4.99 to $799.00. Want to spend lots more? Sorry, we left out the luxury yachts and helicopters to save space. Maybe you could just buy multiple gifts.
Most all the gift ideas from our 2012 Gift Guide are still available and would still make great gift suggestions for that special someone. You’ll see links to all those items as well if you scroll to the bottom of any gift guide page and click on the “2012 Gift Guide” page links.
For each gift idea, you'll find a link to read more about it and a BUY NOW button which will take you to a recommended retailer or the manufacturer where we found the best price.
