Nicely balanced list of simple yet sophisticated gift ideas to make and give. I would love to receive anything I saw here.
I am also ordering a couple new crafting books mentioned and linked from within some of these projects. I love it when I can find five star reviews from people whose taste I have an inkling of… you know… when it matches my own.
Some of the links were a little sticky… didn’t work, then did. Could have been my server though…
Thanks for this list!
This is an incredible resource! I would love to tweet it but I don’t see a regular tweet button on your site. You might want to add that for those of us who are not signed up the retweet deal. Add-to-any is a great resource so people can share your post almost anywhere.

Hey.
Just wanted to let you know I loved this post, some of the items here are fantastic, amazingly creative. I’ve tried making the bath salts myself already.. I think I need practice.

If you are willing to buy real estate, you would have to receive the loan. Moreover, my mother always utilizes a credit loan, which supposes to be really firm.
What a great resource! Thanks!
This year I gave homemade jam with crocheted snowflakes. I am excited to try the links you listed.
