What? You still haven’t bought your Christmas gifts yet? Well, neither have I. But fear not, this definitive (sort of) Christmas gift giving guide might help you in your purchase, especially if you’re buying for someone who loves a bit of pop culture and celeb buzz.

Oppa Gangnam Style Merchandise

I don’t know about you, but my attitude towards this particular K-Pop viral video has been a mix of “ugh, enough Gangnam Style already” and “well, it is pretty catchy…” But no matter which side you’re on, there’s no denying that Oppa Gangnam Style has definitely been one of the biggest pop culture phenomenon of 2012.

Recently, PSY announced the opening of his official online store. In it, you can find Gangnam style branded tees and other merchandises.

I personally think they should have a PSY toy that sings and dances the Gangnam Style tune. No, I don’t want one, thank you very much. But I think that will be cool for those who like this sort of stuff.

Who should you gift this to?

  • PSY’s Oppa Gangnam Style lovers.
  • Anyone who follows pop culture and Youtube viral videos closely.
  • Those friends of yours who can’t stand Gangnam Style and will probably get mad at you – which can be quite funny. Just make sure this is not the only thing you are getting for them.

Celebrity Paper Doll Book

I loved this when I was young. You know what I’m talking about? My reliable source Wikipedia explains it this way: “Paper dolls are figures cut out of paper or thin card, with separate clothes, also made of paper, that are usually held onto the dolls by folding tabs.” It’s like Barbie, but with paper. We actually used to draw our own paper doll and dresses.

Now imagine if we can play dress up with our favourite celebrities! We can be the Rachel Zoe (famous celebrity stylist) for our fave celeb’s next imaginary Oscar or Grammy’s outing. And yes, this is now possible with these awesome celebrity paper doll books:

So what do we have here? Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Adele are three very current and popular singers, plus Lady Gaga would have some very interesting costumes. And the addition of David Bowie and Debbie Harry from Blondie are pretty cool too!

Who should you gift this to?

  • Girls who love to play dress ups. Seriously, who doesn’t?!
  • The fashionistas in our midst.
  • Fans of the above celebrities.
  • Kris Kringle for the office ladies, they’ll thank you.

“Ryan Gosling” anything

Yes. Ryan Gosling. Yum, right? So, buy anything Ryan Gosling this Christmas for your girlfriend, mum, sister, BFF, or any girl in the world and they will love you forever.

And since I’m all about helping you finding the best Christmas gifts in town… Let’s get a little more creative with your Ryan Gosling pressies (instead of just buying another copy of The Notebook in which most girls would already own one!).

Oh dear. A Feminist Ryan Gosling gift book. To be exact, it’s a collection of “feminist theory – as imagined – from your favourite sensitive movie dude” created by Danielle Henderson. So, supposedly there is already a Tumblr blog dedicated to this, but of course, blogs aren’t cool gifts – books are! Seriously, check out the book. It’s not just for the feminists in our midst, it’s for everyone who loves a bit of a laugh… with Ryan Gosling on the side. Oh, who can resist?

Yes, this is a Ryan Gosling “Color Me Good” colouring book. Pretty cool huh! Inside, there are heaps of black and white outline of your favourite Ryan Gosling poses. Colour them in pretty colours… and stare! :)

Who should you gift this to?

  • Fans of Ryan Gosling.
  • Teen girls specifically.
  • Feminists or those who love a bit of humour (for the book.)
  • Artists, painters, illustrators, stick man drawers or those who colour in line (for the colouring book.)
  • Any girl in the world. Yep.
