Anthology Magazine - 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

EDITOR’S Letter

LAST YEAR, in between toiling away on the print editions of the magazine, the Antholog y team decided that sleep was overrated and we should add a special digital-only holiday gift guide to our workload. When it was complete, we were thrilled with the result. The stories were in keeping with what readers had come to expect from the print magazine, while the online format allowed us to easily link to shops and products.

So earlier this year, when it came time to decide whether we’d commit to putting together another guide, it was a no-brainer. For the gift-giving portion, we once again reached out to a group of guest editors whose work, and taste, we admire.

Hopefully, their picks will help you as you start thinking about holiday shopping. If you’re hosting a gathering this season, you won’t want to miss our brunch and dessert features. (The recipes—like the Orange Rosemary Bundt Cakes and the Cranberry Ginger Bellinis—are built around some of winter’s most delicious flavors.) And you’ll find more great ideas in this year’s guide, including printable gift tags and cards designed exclusively for Antholog y.

For us, the holidays are all about friends and family—spending time with them, figuring out ways to bring smiles to their faces. And ultimately, that’s what informed the content for the following virtual pages. We hope that the Antholog y holiday gift guide makes the end of your year a little merrier (and less stressful!).
