Legna Linens and Bath: Read JS Review | Buy It ($41-$387; shown as 4)

Are you ready for the JS08 Gift Guide? If you are, that's a shame; we're actually not doing one this year "” we're going to do even better. Over the next month you're going to see itemized lists, broken down into separate categories for your easy perusal, and all you'll need to do to get to those posts is hit the "gifts" tag at the bottom of any of them. If you have any suggestions for a list, feel free to hit us up at feedback at josh spear dot com. If you're staying in today (instead of braving the malls and stores), we salute your intelligence. If not, try not to get arrested. Happy holidays!
