It might have been almost 60 degrees this past weekend, but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of complacency: You have less than a week of holiday shopping -- or, as I like to call it, Shopmas -- to go. If you are anything like me, your gift list is down to those hard-to-please folks. Choosing just the right memento for your favorite algo-writer, chief investment officer or coder is never easy, but we’ve got you covered.

This annual list of holiday gifts is driven by an abiding respect for great design and craftsmanship. As in our earlier gift guides, all of these items have been picked by yours truly, free from the influence of public-relations flacks and other media trolls who haunt my inbox.
