The holidays are careening towards us at warp speed, so it might be time to start thinking about presents, people. Now is the perfect time to stock up on inexpensive gifts for those terrifying people that turn up with plates of homemade baked goods and a beautifully wrapped ornament sometime in early December, long before you've bought anything for your mom, much less had a chance to worry about your co-worker from two cubicles down.

If you're stuck in one of those "Secret Santa" gift exchanges, these bookmarks ($5 for a set of 20, available here) would be a great gift for a bookish recipient, or they'd make a cute, cheap present for the members of your bookclub--give everybody a couple bookmarks and a cookie and you're set!
