make-holiday-gift-guide

Black Friday has come and passed, but there’s still a whole month’s worth of holiday shopping still to come. The Make: Gift Guide is our answer to the question “What do makers really want?” We compiled our picks by asking makers what they really wanted (go figure!). If you’ve got a recommendation of your own we want to hear it! We’ll be updating our guide with new picks all month. Email editor@makezine.com if there’s something you think other Makers would be happy to receive, or if there’s maker creating awesome gifts.

What will the next generation of Make: look like? We’re inviting you to shape the future by investing in Make:. By becoming an investor, you help decide what’s next. The future of Make: is in your hands. Learn More.
