A Peek at Our Elves for the 2010 Holiday Guides

It's that time of year, again!

The holidays are supposed to be for bonding with loved ones, eating a lot of food and spending time doing the things that make you happy. Still, there's one all-out awful part of the holidays and that's the holiday shopping. Sure, giving gifts is great – there's nothing better than seeing something you picked out be received so well. Unfortunately, procuring those presents is often very far down on people's lists of favorite pastimes.

In an effort to make this chore a little less traumatic, we've been putting together some handy-dandy guides to ease you through the purchasing process. As you all know, our guides offer a little something for every breed of gadget lover, from the hardcore enthusiast to the casual gadget fan who's just started taking an interest in all things electronic.

Of course, at the heart of these lovingly handcrafted guides (you know, aside from the hours of research, writing, editing and planning), are the beautiful models we have on hand to show off the products in question. Here's a little sneaky-peeky at this year's mystery maidens. Hand-picked by our own Devin Connors (his job is really very difficult at times), their identities will be revealed very soon. So, stay tuned for more from these lovely ladies and, of course, the guides themselves!
