In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention (with more than 140 characters). With Black Friday upon us, we look at a few unusual shopping resources, including Story's Gift Guide, Joe McNally's shopping tips, Aquafadas discounts and Adorama's Gift Guides.
