Whatever you celebrate this time of year, December seems to be when the majority of gifts are exchanged among friends and family. Everyone has their own idea of what is and isn't appropriate in a gift-giving manner, and it's difficult to decide what's best to give, and what we most want to receive. Well, that's where we come in.<br /><br />We have the good fortune of having two of the fae here -- one from the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-villains">Rogue Isles</a>, and one from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-heroes">Paragon City</a> -- to share with us their views of appropriate gifts for those of you who are playing in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ncsoft">NCsoft</a>'s realms this holiday season. Their selections range from cost-free, in-game offerings up to something you can tuck under the tree ... or the computer desk, as the case may be.

Love it or loathe it, it's Christmas trotting toward you, antlered head held high and the glint of consumer-related malice in its eye. Regardless of your personal belief system, chances are you'll have to buy at least one gift for someone simply because it's traditional. Well, if that someone also happens to be a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/second-life"><em>Second Life</em></a> resident, then let this post help you in deciding what to get someone who has everything -- virtually.<br /><strong><br />The Casual/Work Acquaintance</strong><br />Maybe you have a supervisor or boss that spends time in <em>SL</em>, but you don't know their tastes well enough to know what they'd like as a gift (and consequently feel warm and fuzzy toward you enough to give you a raise). I suggest <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-6945380-3307166?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=%22Second+Life%22&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">one of the fine guides to <em>Second Life</em></a> to be had on Amazon.com.
