Universe is the first website builder designed from the ground up for iOS. Building a website should be fun and creative — so Universe doesn’t have templates. We have an open-ended grid and a constantly expanding array of blocks, which makes building a site as fun as playing with Legos. Design a store, create a portfolio, or start a magazine right from your iPhone.

With our 2.0 release today, Universe is coming to iPad, just in time for the new iPad Pros.

Ditch the cookie-cutter sites and make something completely your own. Get started for free on the App Store.

You can’t have a merry Fixmas without tools.

iFixit has spent more time disassembling Apple products than just about anybody. They’ve used that time well, developing precision tools for their engineers. Their flagship kit, the Pro Tech, is loaded with every rare bit and opening tool you could think of, and it's backed by a lifetime warranty.

Since they last sponsored Daring Fireball, iFixit has not only developed more toolkits, but also all-in-one repair kits for upgrading and repairing Apple devices. Their kits include a new part and all the tools you need to get the job done. Most repairs take a little bit of elbow grease, but with one of their step-by-step guides you can make your device like-new again.

Any tinkerer on your list would enjoy one of these toolkits. Now through December, you can get $10 off your next $50 purchase with the code DARINGFIX.
