David Colman, today's Times' critical shopper, threw in the towel and decided to do all his holiday shopping at Kltpzyxm Mxyplyzyk. "It almost doesn't matter what you buy. You can pretty much grab anything from here and people are going to love it." That is, of course, assuming the people you love really need a lighter shaped like a giant match for $9.95, or a crystal bottle shaped like a plastic one for $38. Actually, those sound awesome ... Why don't our Secret Santas shop here? [NYT]
