Holiday gift guide: the cheap way.

So... everyone is writing gift guides and I thought, Hey,why not me?
But, I'm only a starving to death-student (as we call student in Mexico) with a low, irregular income and living in a mexican border with godforsaken small town,California. Don't expect to read a fabulous gift guide including Salvatore Ferragamo shoes or Dior Homme ties.

No, we're keeping it the cheap way. I'm gonna make an online review of items you can buy for relatives and friends sticking to a small budget, let's say, 100 dlls or less. Looking for gifts under $20 because you know.. I'm cheap like that.
