If you've got some room on your holiday shopping list, throw some stocking stuffers in the mix. Small (and inexpensive) gifts are great for co-workers, pals, and geeky kids and act as the icing on the already awesome holiday cake. Check out some of my picks in this slideshow.
Guys may seem tough to shop for, but in the end there are a few (almost) universally accepted gifts — like DVDs. Luckily I've tucked a few of those into my latest installment of holiday gift guides. This one is dedicated to the geeky guys out there, whether it's your boyfriend, brother, or super cool uncle.

As part of a fun holiday series, I've asked interior design "tastemakers," from designers and stylists to bloggers and shop-owners, to share their favorite go-to holiday gift ideas with me.
I chatted with interior stylist, expert flea marketer, Etsy seller, former Top Design contestant, and blogger Eddie Ross — a man of many talents — about his go-to gift ideas for the holidays and here's what he had to say:
Do you have a bachelor friend, brother, or special guy in your life who's in need of a few artful touches in his home? Chances are, if you know a guy, this is definitely the case. Most of the bachelors I know tend to neglect adding art to their home's walls, instead opting for concert posters (or, shudder, neon beer signs).
It's no secret that Mad Men has every man and wife (and mistress) wanting a retro bar set and cart for their home — or, let's be honest, office. Even if your man (or bro) is the beer-slugging kind, there's something so sharp and dapper about all the essentials to make a proper drink that I think he'll appreciate the thought. Check out this slideshow to learn how to raise the bar.
I do have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to holiday gifts, but I'm always impressed with what my design-savvy friends give each year. So, I decided to ask some interior design "tastemakers" for their favorite go-to presents. From designers and stylists to bloggers and shop-owners, some of the brightest stars in the design world have shared their favorite holiday gift ideas with me.
