Gift Giving Done Right

I mean, I think I am close to done, ready to give and share in the holiday spirit...but there are always a few last minute panic attacks right before 12/25.  So, I am going over my list, once, twice, thrice...quadruple checking to make sure I have everyone covered.  I am sure that there are many of you out there that spend endless hours thinking and planning each person's gift...the perfect gift for each person on your Holiday List.  I am one of those crazy, spend all-nighters doing just this.  There have been years that I felt I fell so short on creating that exact perfect package, but I think this year I may have done it.  Of course, I start off with an idea/vision for each gift and then I focus on budget.  If the original thought is crazy outrageous in cost I then have fun in the challenge in making it fit my budget.  As to not ruin any surprises and give away the gifts that I am giving...I will be sharing that with you after the holidays...(that way you will have a head start in planning next year's list).  For right now, there are a few items/designers/vendors that are making this holiday season gift giving special, unique and a wee bit easier...I have to give them a well-deserving bow:
