Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or another holiday (and hey, even heathens like me like receiving gifts!), you’re probably scrambling for gift ideas. Never fear, here at Rotten Little Girls we’ll break it down for you. (Or, for our few conservative readers, check out Nate’s Conservative Wishlist).

I love your gift ideas! The only thing that I’d perhaps change is that I think I should have Wally Lamb’s new book as a gift to myself too!
So I’m a little book greedy – sue me! :)
the best thing about this list is that you could pick it ALL up at borders or barnes and noble. it’s like a one stop shopping trip and since most of these items are rectangular, wrapping will be a breeze.
perfecto!
too bad i’m already almost done with shopping, i like a LOT of these suggestions… *sigh* there is always next year.
:D i love you RLG.
Some great ideas! :D
I love feminist blogs. I’ll be checking back more often!
