The Crystal Connection collection is FABULOUS! My husband loves rocks, since he’s a mining engineer. It would be nice to add a couple of these pieces to our collection.

I like to give a movie night package to acquaintances or for the secret santa/yankee swap type events. I start with a jiffy pop pan, then add boxes of movie candy and a dvd that’s generally enjoyed (usually one that comes from target’s day after thanksgiving $5 dvd sale) and tie it all together with a bow.

We’re starting a new tradition this year of handmade ornaments from my baby daughter to each family member. This year mommy and daddy helped her out a little, but we’re still excited to give out her creations every year.

I love the Areaware My Brother’s Mirror and you can’t beat Archipelago candles at that price!

I love the Areaware My Brother’s Mirror in the OKL’s must have section! It would be so perfect in my “french” themed guest room!

While I don’t have a favorite gift idea, I always like to make sure there’s an element of humor in them. So not only does the person enjoy the gift, but they get a laugh too.

My favorite gifts that I’m giving this year are homemade bracelets for my sisters. Normally I shy away from making gifts myself, but I have been practicing over the last year and finally made the perfect bracelet!

This year my favorite types of gifts are local/handmade gifts. Here’s hoping that I can finish out my gift buying at next week’s Holiday Mart!
