Over at the Standard, we just wrapped up our first holiday gift guide. It's all about gadgets, electronics, and computers, but we themed it for shopping in a recession -- no Macbooks, iPhones, or other high-end items, but lots of other great stuff that won't break the bank:
"Holiday gift guide: 10 winning gifts in a down economy"
Chris Tompkins was the main author, but I also wrote and researched part of this, and I have to say that the cost of some consumer electronics is getting unbelievably cheap. A full-function portable media player (including video) for only $100? Chris even found a very powerful (dual core, 4 GB RAM, decent video card) HP laptop for about $550.
We're in the market for an HDTV, and while the model I profiled in the gift guide is too small (we're looking for a 47" screen) I was very reassured by the fact that prices have dropped a lot since the last time I looked in the summer.
