It's that time of year, so I thought I'd help everyone's holiday shopping out by compiling a list of gift-related resources from MetaFilter.

Helping finding specific gifts is a popular request at Ask MetaFilter and here is a recent list:

• Ideas for workplace gifts on a budget
• Gifts for teens into gaming
• Gifts for a family of adults that enjoy board games and food
• Gift ideas for people you don't know very well
• The "gift" tag page at Ask MetaFilter has thousands more
• From the MeFi wiki: a giant list of previously mentioned online stores for buying gifts

If you're into giving books as gifts, the wiki also has one of the most exhaustive categorized lists of previous questions about books. Take a gander, pick a subject, and check out all the amazing old threads about the best books in any category.

Lastly, the fine folks of Ask MetaFilter also have compiled a list of all the best gift guides found online. And as always, we set aside a "mall" of all the MetaFilter members selling gifts online, sorted by category.
