Christmas is right around the corner. And if you are like me, there are some people in your life who are hard to shop for. This edition of Coffee Break is dedicate to gathering and listing some great shopping lists, all in one place. Some of these links are curated lists from other blogs and sources, some are my own recommendations. Hopefully, you’ll find it helpful as you shop for those you love. As more lists become available, you’ll find them updated here.

Gifts For Men – These links are all on sites that are designed for men. However, there is also a great guide to selecting the right stocking stuffer for the woman in your life.

Gadgets – A pretty comprehensive gift guide can be found at The Verge. Not all of the items on this list are recommended, however, there are a few that I found interesting.

Coffee – No list would be complete without items pertaining to coffee. Of course, I always recommend the Hario V60, the Chemex, a great French Press, and the Aeropress.
