Holiday Gift Guide: 2018 Edition<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Ethan Thorpe<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although it may not feel like it, but the holiday season is upon us and I\u2019m guessing you have no clue what to get those certain special people in your life? Well we might be able to help. The Standard Magazine Holiday Gift Guide will perhaps give you some ideas with unique and fun items. You will find gifts from the extravagant to the more modest to give; and if you are nice or even naughty, maybe receive. So never fear my fellow procrastinators we are here to help.<\/p>\n

Google Home\u2019 Voice Activated Speaker \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because you just may be over Alexa and want to try something new. Google Home pretty much rocks because Google can basically help you with anything.

Illustrated with hundreds of photos, including stills from the show and a treasure trove of never-before-seen and newly rediscovered photos, Golden Girls Forever. Bursting with fun facts, anecdotes, reminiscences, and insights, Golden Girls Forever is the ultimate companion to the show for fans old and new. www.peepasps.com<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make Your Own Hot Sauce Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n

To add fiery flavor to nachos, chili, pizza, and more, while raising your metabolism, there’s nothing like a full-bodied hot sauce–and making it yourself can add an extra kick to the mix. Produce a piquant variety of hot sauces with this DIY kit, offering cayenne, ancho, curry, and chili spice packs. www.uncommongoods.com<\/a><\/p>\n
