In lieu of giving you 20-30 products that I think are cool, this year I chose to go a different route and reach out to a few that I connect regularly with to have them help curate a list of potential gifts for us, you, or the ones you might be buying for.
I gave them no constraints on what to pick but I did make sure to get a couple of ladies in the mix just to get that perspective. Some of the things on the list you could pick up today and some of them you’ll probably have to wait a little longer before acquiring due to budgetary constraints. I had a good time compiling; I think the participants had a good time collecting; and I hope that you’ll have a good time reading through the list.
See anything we missed? Let me know here or on Twitter. Spread the word.
2011 Collab-mas List – A collaborated Christmas list by Christian Ross & Friends
*If you’re an IE user, it’s not that I don’t dislike you, but you’re gonna have to be happy with what you get. It ain’t pretty but I’ve got other things to get done today.
I originally thought about doing a general “design” type gift post but it eventually evolved into what you see here, art for your walls. Dress up your office, bedroom or any other empty wall space with some of these great pieces.
Didn’t want the ladies to feel completely left out this year so I enlisted the help of a fashonista and friend of mine to put a little something together for my female readers. She gets the chance to have fun and play Internet dress up and I get the chance to act like I don’t know anything about women’s fashion. Men, don’t just glaze over, these are last minute ideas for you.
Unfortunately, by the time of posting, most of her picks are sold out.
Men, we should dress like men. Here’s a little guide to looking your best in gray/black and making your significant others’ knees buckle in the process. Feel free to show up your boss and/or wear it out for a nice evening. Also, some of these are completely out of everyone’s price range, I realize that. Use it as a guide.
