Today’s Pick: Santa Claus is coming to MaRS

Posted by Kathryn @ MaRS, December 21st, 2007

If you’re like me, your best-laid plans to get your holiday shopping done early this year once again fell by the wayside. But don’t panic yet – get help from my favorite kind of advertorial, the holiday gift guide. For the entrepreneur in your life, Ja-Nae Duane, founder of Wild Women Entrepreneurs, gives you a musical short list in “The 12 Days of an Entrepreneur Christmas,” while Darren Herman focuses on the basics at Silicon Alley Insider.

Let Wired help you pick out a shiny new gadget for your special geek.
If you’re wondering what to get for a social entrepreneur, Social Edge has you covered. (If you’re just wondering what a social entrepreneur is, click here…)
Treehugger and the Ontario Cooperative Association have some (comparatively) sustainable suggestions for your favorite activist, while Grist reminds us that the most sustainable gift of all is “stuff-free.”

And if you’re wondering what to get me, let the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book be your guide. (Kidding! I’m holding out for real estate.)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at MaRS!
