#  Holiday Gifts for the Data-Addicted

The infosthetics blog offers its "[shopping guide for the data-addicted](http://infosthetics.com/archives/2007/12/information_addiction_christmas_shopping_guide.html)." I was intrigued by the [chumby](http://store.chumby.com/) and [nabaztag](http://www.nabaztag.com/), two devices that offer the charms of the internet divorced from the keyboard/mouse/monitor setup. For the urban planner on your list, don't miss the [fly swatter whose mesh is a street map of Milan](http://charlesandmarie.com/lifestyle-gems/quintessentials/modern-living/details/product/bye-bye-fly-1/?tx_ttproducts_pi1%5BbackPID%5D=308&tstmp=1196864326). For the social science stats crowd, though, the best gift on the list has to be the [Death and Taxes](http://www.thebudgetgraph.com/buy/) poster, depicting the US federal discretionary budget in remarkable detail and clarity. Click on the image below to get a close-up look at the poster.
