Now that Halloween has passed it's time for Christmas, right? Ok, ok, I'll hold off until after Thanksgiving, but I was checking out Gifted Mag today and it put me in the holiday mood. I can tell this Christmas is going to be a good one! I haven't worked on a major Christmas-related project since June (minus the little projects here and there) and it's been glorious, unlike the past two years where it's been Christmas 9-10 months out of the year, which sucks all of the fun out of the holiday...
So, like I said, I was reading Gifted Mag and they started with these seven holiday-related questions, which I thought I'd answer as well:Last year a co-worker came up with a great gift on the cheap. I think I'm going to steal the idea. He gave everyone a paper-white bulb in a small vase, with a layer of river rocks, and a square dowel to use as a stake once the flower grew. It was a great gift that I enjoyed watching for days and days. He tied up the vase in a beautiful red grosgrain ribbon for the perfect package.
Or you can never go wrong with an iTunes gift card and cookies!

I was pretty proud of myself for usually keeping a gift list for a couple of months before Christmas, but you've got me beat doing it year-round! I'm always afraid if i plan too far ahead people might purchase the item for themselves in the meantime.
