CHOW Holiday Gift Guide 2011

Holiday shopping may be hellish, but the act of giving is always fun. Here are holiday gift ideas that will suit any type of food-lover, from geeks who want Han Solo icing down their drinks to design junkies who want the coolest-looking new toaster. Whether you're searching for a food-related gift for Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, winter solstice, or Festivus, we've got you covered.

And to add to the festive vibe, we've partnered with our friends at ThinkGeek to put together a fun little bonus for you. Simply count the number of times you spot the red robot (hint: It looks like this) hidden throughout our holiday gift guide categories (Cookbooks, Stocking Stuffers, Under $25, Under $50, Under $100, and Splurge), then email that number to chowscavenger@cbsinteractive.com for a chance to win cool stuff! Send us your name, address, age, date of birth, and phone number too, so we can contact you if you win and know you're eligible for entry. We promise not to stalk or telemarket! One grand prize winner will receive a $200 gift certificate code from ThinkGeek, and two runners-up will each receive a $50 gift certificate code. All three will be showered with wicked-awesome CHOW schwag and the holiday spirit of giving and stuff.

To get started, read all the terms and conditions, then go robot-searching—before the sweepstakes ends on December 8! There is no purchase necessary to participate.
