Holiday Inspiration for the Maker on Your List
Stumped for gift ideas for the Maker on your list? Stuck when
people ask you what you want this year? Whether you're looking for
hands-on, open source, or sources of inspiration, we've come up
with a short list of great gifts at The Maker Store:
Here's just a sample of some tempting treats available
at The Maker Store:
Build your own open source MP3 player. It sounds as good as an
iPod, can access 65,000 tracks, plays WAV files and MP3s, and
interfaces with all kinds of devices. All of this flexibility
for $114.95.
Most of your electronics are portable – now, so is your power
source! Our handy battery-powered USB charger is just $19.99.

The MAKE Controller Kit is a powerful microprocessor with
built-in networking capabilities, an on-board USB port, and hefty
memory. Unlimited options for automation, motion control, and
artistic expression for $149.99.

As a thank you to our best customers, we're offering a special
discount to Premier Makers. Through December 31, enter promo
code MAKERDEC at checkout to save 10% off your purchase!
To make it as easy as possible, we've lowered our Fed Ex shipping
prices so you'll get a guaranteed delivery date and tracking
information for just a few dollars more. In fact, if you order
by December 18th, your package is guaranteed to arrive
by the 25th.
And (drumroll...) we're announcing MAKE: The Next Year. That's
right, we've reached the end of year two, and to celebrate we're
offering all four issues in a limited-edition collector's set. If
some of your issues have fallen victim to workshop-related
incidents (Was Volume 5 shredded by your wind turbine? Did Volume 6
get soldered to a BEAMbot?), help is here! Safeguard the second
year of MAKE with this boxed set, usually priced at $59.95. This
weekend only, get $10 off when you preorder! Just enter code
NEXT12 at checkout. (Offer expires midnight Eastern Time on
Sunday, December 10.)
Looking for a last-minute gift? No problem. Give a gift
subscription to MAKE and we'll link you through to a PDF
card that you can download and print on the spot for
your recipient.

And don't forget the crafter in your life! Where else but in
the pages of CRAFT will they learn how to embroider a skateboard,
stitch a robot, and make a lamp from vintage cookware? We offer
a downloadable PDF card, perfect for shopping on the 24th
(or even the 25th ).

Enjoy shopping at the MAKE store, where assembly is usually
required...we know you prefer it that way.
