| |  | | 12/17/12 No Time Like the Present Last-Minute Gifts to Save Your Holidays In order to receive, one must give. And in order to give, one must... not completely blow it off. Well, consider these last-minute gift ideas your get-out-of-jail-free card. Actually, a card’s probably a good idea, too... | | | |  | | | FOR THE HIGH FIDELITY TYPE | | LCD Soundsystem: The Coffee-Table Book | | | | Here’s a big book about Grammy-nominated indie gods LCD Soundsystem. They broke up in 2011. Which probably really disappointed someone on your list. But before that happened, a photographer named Ruvan traveled around with the band and took a bunch of pictures of them doing things. Surely someone can appreciate that. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR THE PUFFER | | The Rudest Ashtray Ever | | | | Nothing says “I completely forgot to get you something for Christmas, so here’s an ashtray that says ‘F**k It’” like an ashtray that says “F**k It.” So there you go. Check the smoker off your list, cigar or otherwise. Maybe don’t wait on a thank-you card. | | | | | | | | | | SPONSORED MESSAGE  | |  | | | GENTLEMAN JACK | | Spread Holiday Cheer Among Gentlemen | | | | Ah, the holidays... that magical time of year when gifts are scrutinized without mercy. So this year, give the gift that’s beyond reproach. That’s right: whiskey. Specifically, Gentleman Jack. It’s like a rite of passage for discerning guys. An initiation ritual. One that says... I appreciate you. In fact, I’ll help you drink this. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR THE DISCERNING GAMER | | Just Some Really Nice Dominoes | | | | As far as wood-and-bone domino sets go, this is a really nice wood-and-bone domino set. The tiles and the box are lined with felt. They even have those little dots on them that allow you to play dominoes the way dominoes was intended to be played. They thought of everything. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR THE CONNOISSEUR OF WARMTH | | Your Wool Blanket Prayers, Answered | | | | Right. A vintage WWII US Navy blanket made out of wool from Minnesota’s Faribault Woolen Mills. Your dad would love one of those. You can see him now... just snuggled up in front of the fire looking all dad-like. Reading Wine Spectator or whatever. Happiness is a warm dad. | | | | | | | | | | | SPONSORED MESSAGE | |  | | | FAST TIMES | | Outrunning the Cops at 150 mph | | | | Here’s something fun to do this holiday: cause a police chase. Specifically, the breakneck, open-road, carnage-heavy kind found in Need for Speed Most Wanted. Think of it as the most insurance-friendly way to tear up some fast cars with friends. Or, you know, the latest entry in EA’s legendary driving series. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR THE ONE WHO THOUGHT THEY HAD IT ALL | | Just Your Everyday Thorn Necklace | | | | Maybe you have a special someone. Maybe you have a special other someone. Or maybe you just have someone who didn’t know they needed a thorn that was harvested from a Tennessee farm, cast in brass and hung from a 14-karat gold chain. It’s a thorn necklace. People love those. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
