Your Ultimate 2017 Christmas Gift List

Looking for ideas for your Christmas shopping list? You’ve come to the right place.

But be forewarned: holiday gifting these days is not like it was 10 years ago – or even 10 minutes ago. For instance, instead of a Red Ryder BB Gun, modern kids want a NERF Rival MXVII-10K Nemesis Blaster. And it’s doubtful that in years past you found a Groomarang in your stocking.

Following are Top 20 gifts in three categories: (a) for your partner, (b) for your Secret Santa exchange and (c) for kids. Ho, Ho Ho!
