Please turn on the Samuel L. Jackson voice in your head when I say, hold on to your butts. The mother of all gift guides is here. 

We're talking the best gifts. No qualifiers. Just the plain ol' best, as determined by our experts. All 25 products in this guide earned an 'Editor’s Choice' badge after undergoing thorough testing. I can tell you that I was gifted an older model of the JBL Flip portable speaker — No. 20 on the list — a few years ago and I still love it. This is a list of stuff your friends and family are going to love.

Also: we didn't forget Halloween in our holiday shopping frenzy — or Thanksgiving, for that matter. If you're still looking for something do this weekend, we have some ideas. And if you're getting ready to host Thanksgiving for the first time, we have some advice. 

I hope your weekend is exactly the right level of spooky for you. Have fun. Make good choices.
