Making The List

Continuing our gift guide watch, Refinery29 has thrown its hat into the ring with 100 crafty gifts under $150. Check it out HERE, and other holiday gift guides HERE.

Basic Cable

We'd love this cable knit scarf from Martin Margiela for x-mass. But, at $240, you might just want it for yourself. Or, check out what else eLuxury.com is marking down by 40% right this second.

Naughty And Nice

If you're looking for another holiday shopping guide -- to compliment the masterful services offered by NY Mag, Men.Style, and Cool Hunting -- Shopflick's is pretty nice. Check out their sale, too.

Plan Of Action

Valet has gone directly to the source to find out what makes women happy during the holidays. The answer? Sparkly gifts; endearing gifts; useful gifts; and intellectually provocative gifts -- In that order. [Valet]

Recession-Proof Gifting

This week, The Moment's High/Low column endorses this gold plated Hematite link bracelet with pave crystals by Lauren by Ralph Lauren. At just $78, we can only nod in awe and approval. 

And for more gift ideas, refer to The Moment's new What Gives column throughout December.

Gift Guide Wars

On a list of sites we wouldn't expect to produce a holiday gift guide, Cool Hunting would rank near the top. But, we've never been so happy to be so wrong as their new guide is arguably superior to the best gifting guide we know of -- NY Mag's Shopamatic. So clean, so accessible, so original. Shopamatic is obviously more extensive... but sometimes that only serves to complicate the shopping process. Just one of many must-haves from the list -- Christopher Walken A to Z.

Gift Aid

Esquire has assembled a rather random list of holiday gifts for under $20. This ice pack / heating pack I.V. gift set is the perfect way to send that special someone mixed messages.    

'Tis The Season

J. Crew has launched a holiday shopping guide, which, while totally self-serving, could actually come in handy. The retailer is also now taking up t0 50% off its fall wares. 

Let us also take this opportunity to mention what is perhaps the handiest gifting tool ever invented: NY Mag's "Shopamatic." Simply configure by giftee -- wife, girlfriend, mom, dad, etc. -- or by product category, and get 100 or more editor-picked gift ideas.   

Fresh

• Tuesday through Friday, La Perla is taking up to 75% off fresh drawers, sleepwear, and lingerie.

• Also Tuesday through Friday, S.O.S. Sample Sales is taking 40-80% off denim and other items from brands like Diesel, True Religion, and Joe's Jeans. The locale isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re already in the area, go for it.

Be Generous

Agent Provocateur’s summer sale begins tonight at 6 with an intimate preview of selected styles up to 70% off. The choicest sizes and shapes will proceed to disappear until sale’s end in a few weeks.

The video features AP's London store, but lingerie-shopping tips are the same abroad as they are in New York. We think.
