The 2016 PopCult Gift Guide Master List

The PopCulteer
December 16, 2016

Okay, this was quite an undertaking. The 2016 PopCult Gift guide comprised over 130 gift suggestions in over 100 posts, spread out over just a bit more than a month. Your PopCulteer spent months choosing unique and particularly nifty gift suggestions with the goal of telling about things that other gift guides didn’t know about.

This was a beast of a list to compile. Once I got into the actual writing, editing and posting, I realized that I would have to compose close to 40,000 words…and that I had two week-long trips scheduled during the time I usually assemble the list. Needless to say, this was a huge job, made even hugerer by the fact that I had to write two week’s worth of posts ahead of time so that I could get out of town.

So now this list is in the books, and PopCult should return to whatever passes for normal around here. Our regular features will still be here over the weekend. We’ll be bringing you plenty of updates on The AIR, our internet radio station (currently playing holiday music, go check it out!), and starting Monday I’ll be posting photo essays that cover the two trips I made in the last month.

That should take us to next Friday, easy. I may even try to neak in a new video episode of Radio Free Charleston before the end of the year.I hope you enjoyed the list. Feedback on social media indicates that this may be my best-received PopCult Gift Guide yet. Below is the master index. Keep in mind, if you are ordering something through the mail, act fast! Today is pretty much the last day that you can reasonably expect to order something and get it in time for Christmas or Hannukkah.Enjoy, and have a great holiday season!
