I have the Nikon D40 and it's great! I love the fact that it's lighter than the Canon Rebel. I was playing around with my friend's Rebel and it felt noticeably heavier. The D40 weight is more tolerable hanging around the neck.

Hi,
Just a quick note about the Oxo potato ricer. The handles are really short. Too short, I think. When making larger batches of mashed potatoes, the handles don't span the bowl, if that makes sense. Also, short handles are harder to pres together; less leverage and all. The ricer is a great tool, but I suggest one with longer handles.

Thanks for the round-up! There are so many gift guides out there that one practically needs a "guide to guides". Anyways, here is one more from 3Luxe, a uniquely focused shopping search engine.

Some of the options are kind of aspirational, but there are"under $100" and "under $500" picks as well.

Megan, you're out of control. Thanks so much for linking to my gift guides (and, earlier in the week the random holiday baked goods roundup)! I'm with awesome company. If I were a rap star, the only way to refer to you would be to call you a dime piece. In other words, Awesome.

After seeing several others set up Amazon stores this past week, I just launched mine too! So far it is, of course, all about the shoes :)

And yeah, that D40 - WANT.

This gift guide round up is great! Design for Mankind has also put out a batch of great gift guides and I've made a few myself!
