What did you get for the holidays last year? Can’t remember? Me neither…because it was probably stupid. Don’t be a loser present-giver this year! Be an awesome present-giver! And allow the 33 1/3 team to guide you in your awesomeness.
1. For the sentimentalist: A USB drive hidden inside a “retro” mix-tape.
How cute?! Buy here from CB2. Price: $29.95
2. For the gear geek: Harman Kardon NC Headphones (as modeled by 33 1/3 assistant Kaitlin). Kaitlin’s review: Fantastic, full sound; excellent noise cancellation tech; and aesthetically pleasing to look at (even for those with small heads).

3. For the collector: Recycled Record Bookends. Display your favorite books sandwiched between two hefty 7-inchers.
