Are you sick of everyone having the same iPhone or Android device that you have? Want something truly unique but don’t know where to turn? Well, here you go. David Mellis has released these blueprints for a DIY phone that can make and take calls and text messages, store names and numbers, and display the time. The total cost will come out to around $200 so it’s not like it is really a steal, but it will be the only one of its kind on the block. If you have a little bit of skill, a decent amount of free time, and a desire to standout, skip the Apple store and get to building.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
