andy warhol box of photographs
I've always had a thing for Andy. But he's especially hot this year. Barney's has limited edition Campbells soup cans (currently out of stock), and has even decorated their store windows in Andy style.
Alphabets NYC has a really cool gift under their "groovy gifts" section - a red wooden box containing 11 of Andy Warhol's Holson Polaroid albums. Each book contains a facsimile reproduction of Warhol’s sequence. Sweet.

in da' house
The perfect gift for anyone who loves typography. These two books are chock full of House Industries style eye candy.
Going all out like you wish you could - four color process, spot silver, spot varnish, thermography - buy the set for $75, or the 48 page Case Study Book alone, for $15.

write a book
Here's a great gift for the bloggers and photographers. At Blurb, you can turn your blog, or your photographs, into a book. An actual hardcover, library bound book. Document a trip, a pet, or your blog for the people in your life who care. Apple's been doing this for a while with iPhoto, and Blurb seems to have taken this to another level. Starting at $18.95.

people love paper
Creative people love paper. Even the internet types. At Ex Libris Anonymous, you can buy hand made journals with covers from vintage books. The journals are individual productions - so the inventory is constantly changing. Really unique and nostalgic gift, from $12 - $15 each.
