The lists all feature great ideas for holiday excursions for a variety of prices. The gift guides are unconventional and one lists experiences you can give someone as a gift, including butchering a pig, bagpiping lessons, and knife-making. If you're looking for interesting things to do, see, or buy, NY Mag's holiday guides have you covered.
While the ideas are great, it is disappointing to see such a lack of photos and videos to accompany each list's suggestions.
At most, the Experiential Gift Guide included one photo beside each gift idea.
It would have better to pick a few of the most unique experiences and maybe have a slide show or video testimonials from people who have actually done them.
The Very Classic Christmas guide has great suggestions like a puppet production of A Christmas Carol and a performance of A Charlie Brown Christmas complete with a live jazz ensemble.
Unfortunately, there are no photos or videos accompanying this list at all.
I think that New York Magazine would benefit from adding photos or videos to their gift and event lists because it makes the suggestions more appealing. If you can see photos or hear clips of the performance or people's reviews, it makes you want to click the links and maybe consider doing one of the activities or buying one of the eccentric gifts for someone instead of just reading (and eventually forgetting) about them.
