Hot Holiday Gifts Part II: The Runners Up
Every holiday season I do a segment on “Today” to show viewers some of this year’s hottest gifts—and lower priced alternatives to fit almost any budget (miss the segment? You can check it out here). I love doing this segment, but there’s just one problem: there are always too many great gifts and not enough time (or space on the set!) to show them all.
