As the holiday season approaches it's always interesting to see all the gift guides that come out. Here's a roundup of some of my favorites.

New York Magazine: As always, nymag.com comes through with a great gift guide categorized in multiple ways so that you can define the price and topic.

MoMA Store: A list of gifts under $50 from the MoMA Store - they always have great gadgets and goodies.

HGTV: This guide contains more than just gifts for the home, also see a variety of products for the kitchen, for your pets, etc. I like the break down of categories listed here.

Jonathan Adler: For gifts categorized by price and category, such as baby gifts, for her/him, holiday, hostess, etc.

MyHomeIdeas: For creative and unique gift ideas check out this gift guide. Also get tips on wrapping, and other holiday essentials.

NY Times: From electronics to books, see a variety of gifts here. I particularly like the Dining & Home category.

Real Simple: Again, categorized by price and topic.

J. Crew: The clothing gift guide collection for him/her/kids, etc. If you're short on time you can check out J. Crew's gift gurus - fill out your preferences and the gurus will select items, wrap and ship.

Bloomingdales: I was pleasantly surprised by the interesting selection here of both clothing and products, categorized by price and category.

Lowes: For the DIY in your man (or in my case, me), check out the Lowes gift guide. Gifts are organized by price and by category (novice, weekend warrior, outdoor entertainer, etc.).

Barnes & Noble: For games, toys, music and dvds check out this guide.

Other go-tos include A & G Merch and Fred Flare where there are always goodies to be found.
