As you have probably noticed, we are in the midst of a very ambitious PopCult Gift Guide. For our tenth annual presentation of cool and offbeat gift ideas, your PopCulteer decided to start the guide early, and run at least three items each day until early December.

Because of the onslaught of gift ideas, every few days we’ll post a recap, with links to our suggestions, organized into categories. The reason for this? Well, less than one week in, we’ve already bumped our first gift ideas off of the first page of this blog.

So, here’s the first batch of 2015 PopCult Gift Guide Ideas:

Books

Humans of New York: Stories
Harry Potter Coloring Book
Sandman: Overture
INVICTA Challenge: Flash and Thunder
Beatles 1+ Deluxe Edition
King of the Comics: One Hundred Years of King Features Syndicate

Cooking

The Cuisinart Dual-Sandwich Grill

Games

Classic Yahtzee
INVICTA Challenge: Flash and Thunder

Headgear

The Pith Helmet

Toys

The 2015 Hess Toy Truck

Video

There’s plenty more coming from the Tenth Annual PopCult Gift Guide, as we bring you the best stuff to buy for other people this holiday season.

STUFF TO DO

This is always a great time and your PopCulteer is hoping to fit it into a very busy weekend.
