Strange Shopping
  Whether it’s that first edition Moody Blues record for Dad or those shoes your boyfriend spotted in Soho, personalized presents are the easy part of the holidays. More challenging is the Secret Santa, The Meet the Parents Moment, or The White Elephants. It all boils down to shopping for strangers, and that ain’t easy. What you need are Foolproof, Can’t-Get-It-Wrong, Everyone-Can-Use-It and Everyone-Will-Love-It Presents.

 
  Dean & DeLuca Spice Rack ($150)
We love this spicy gift set from Dean & Deluca. Even if they don’t cook, this kitchen accessory makes them look like the seasoned chef.
