merry merry!

holy hannah, i can't believe it's almost thursday!

some merry and bright ideas for christmas:

handmade gift card boxes by heather bailey
super-cute monogrammed gift tags from martha stewart
a hanging wall organizer by lotta jansdotter at living creatively
oreo truffles in an origami gift box - how perfect for a coworker?
customizeable & printable chocolate bar wrappers from rachael ray {ok, so it's not technically a gift, but it's just so cool!}
shel silverstein books. any of 'em.
cookie mix in a jar {check out the photo up there. seriously. how can you say no?}

has anyone started their shopping yet? i feel terribly, terribly behind on mine.
