Holiday Gift Guide
Continuing the gift guide (previous posts here and here), I have a few more suggestions for you.
Enjoy Carne Asada T-Shirt. Who doesn’t enjoy carne asada? Let me answer that for you. Everyone loves carne asada. If you know some who also loves t-shirts, then this is a great gift for them. The shirts are high quality (I have been wearing one for a while, several washes, still soft and the design is solid) and sell for $20 a piece, including shipping. The same designer has a Taco shirt and a few others you may enjoy.
See the shirts at beezocalifornia.com.
The Cozmo Deck. If you like to try different places to eat, but can never think of one when your tummy is growling, the Cozmo Deck is a good companion. The Deck has 52 cards with a different restaurant on each card. When you take the card to the restaurant you get $15 off your bill of $40 or more.
This year you can buy two versions of the deck. The standard version, for $30, includes one of each of the restaurants. The custom version, for $65, lets you select which restaurants are in the deck, and you can include multiple copies of the same card. If you eat at Border Grill weekly, that’s like $715 right in your pocket. See the site for a list of restaurants.
As an added bonus, I have arranged for la.foodblogging readers to get a 10% discount off of the deck by entering the coupon code blogging when you check out. For the record, I’m not getting any kick back for this mention (although one was offered), I have been a Cozmo Card user for a while and I think it makes a great gift.
Not For Tourists Los Angeles. Even though you can see the entire guide online, the NFT guide is a great item to have in your glove box. I personally like the maps better than the Thomas Guide and they are full of useful information for when you are in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
The NFT guides are for locals, people who need to find a quick place to eat or the closest ATM. Put a bow on one of these and your gift will be a hit (as long as you aren’t giving it to a tourist because, after all, it’s not for them).

Hey, thanks! One of those solved a big problem for me this year.
You’re welcome, which one helped you out?
The NFT guide, most of all, but I might also buy one of B*CA’s t-shirts for my co-conspirator.
