Let's face it: The only thing worse than holiday shopping is holiday shopping during a recession. That also means if you're going to brave the mall crowds and pinch your pennies this winter, you'll want to make it worth your time by buying some truly awesome gifts. Allow Metromix to ease the sting, as we present our holiday gift guide. Whether you're shopping for parents or pet lovers, fashionistas or foodies, even booze houds and boob-tube addicts, we've got something for everyone on your list.
Also this week, we pit the Jonas Brothers against New Kids on the Block in a boy-band smackdown, go green while partying at Ecco Ultra Lounge, take a walk on Olvera Street, and see how Haight Street style stacks up to our own Melrose Avenue. Check it out in the print edition of Metromix (free all over town) and online at metromix.com.
