It's the season for everyone, happily or not, to be running around or panicking internally, thinking about what gifts to give.
I'm here to help. ;> (After all, what's a blog for, besides useful information, but occasional self-promotion? )
I've written a very practical gift-giving guide chock full of ideas. It's a PDF on Lulu.com for only $5! Give it a try if you're at a loss for gifts, especially if you're a guy and you have trouble buying for women. It's written for men about how to buy for women, but there are a lot of ideas for everyone.
I wrote it under my Other Books pen name, Laura Jacobson.
You can buy a printed copy from Cafepress.com.
If you have a spot left for the male geek on your list, may I suggest my Dating Design Patterns book?
It's a fictional account of how the Gang of Four were originally pattern masters because the developed the Dating Design Patterns. Only later did they decide to apply them to software.
I was privileged to go to OOPSLA 2004 and do the evening entertainment on Tuesday with John Vlissides and others who participated in my Dating Design Patterns skit.
