Compiled by Karen Lynn Thomas Austin, Texas Earlier this year when it was determined that this issue should kick-off a year-long celebration of Louis Braille, it was only fitting that this year's gift guide have a decidedly braille twist. From a $5 deck of braille playing cards to a $735 diamond braille bracelet, there is something in braille for everyone. Can't decide? Remember many retailers offer gift certificates. Happy shopping!
