Orange County Register

What might be a perfect holiday gift for your nephew may not be right for your uncle (a model train versus a knife set, for example, so be careful with tagging the gifts accordingly).  

Planning your holiday shopping ahead of time is the best way to find a few gems that suit individual tastes. The Register published a 24-page Holiday Gift Guide yesterday to inspire you to gift-giving greatness, with a theme of putting a smile on the face as a capper to what has been a challenging year for many a resident (good call).

The section contains gift ideas for her, for him and the kids (and kids at heart)… along with a few healthy choices and unconventional ideas. There are also quite a few useful gift ideas relating to products and entertainment options, courtesy of local advertisers.

My favorite gag gift from the Holiday Gift Guide: an inflatable moose. Yes, you too can bring the warmth of an upscale Jackson Hole lodge to your home without bothering with a taxidermist - and at a fraction of the cost (a mere $20). There’s an inflatable fish available too, if you’re don’t have time to hit the Pacific and make the big catch yourself!
