leading up to that most special of days - christmas, of course! - i thought i'd share ideas i find for gifts, wrapping, decorations, and all of the little details involved in making a wonderful holiday season.
i think the key with hostess gifts is to keep it simple and keep things on hand for last-minute holiday parties and gatherings. you also want to make sure that you're not giving something that will likely end up in your hostess's charity pile. make sure they can use it!

be merry tea towel from one sydney road ($16)
mini cashmere hand warmers from restoration hardware ($15)
2011 wall calendar from kate spade ($18)
amaryllis bulb from crate & barrel ($15)
of course, homemade baked goods with some simple holiday wrapping are a great go-to.
and a bottle of booze or wine is extremely easy, but wouldn't it be that much more special if you dressed it up with this little diy-project?!
