Shecky’s

With holiday shopping season upon us, it’s time to make a list, and not just for yourself. Remember: giving can be far more rewarding than receiving, especially if you’re presenting loved ones with unique, off-the-beaten-path, knock-your-socks-off gifts. In order to ensure your gifts impress (and elicit effusive “thank you’s”) this year, we’ve come up with some genius ideas for the most important people in your life.

Starting this week with buys for your boyfriend or husband, check back every Wednesday till December 22 for gifts for everyone in your life.

BookBook ($80): What’s old is new again (and better than ever) with the BookBook. This may look like a scholarly, vintage tome, but it’s actually a leather MacBook case (with a padded interior). It’s guaranteed to keep your beau’s Mac safe, sound and looking cool.
