SOME RECOMMENDED GIFTS for under fifty bucks. I love it that you can get DVD players for $36.99.

UPDATE: Reader Josh Eno emails: “I’d rather pay $15 for a National Geographic subscription directly from
nationalgeograpic.com than pay $34 through Amazon. Give your readers a tip and save them $19.”

Um okay, but that link looks a bit iffy. This one, on the other hand, offers the good price. Funny, in my (limited) experience the magazine subscriptions through Amazon have been cheaper.
